northern Humboldt and Elko counties. Winds will be breezy with
southwest speeds of 10 to 15 mph and gusts to 25 mph. Tuesday`s
high temperatures will continue to run above normal with readings

By Wednesday, an upper level low pressure system will be pushing
on shore across the western United States. Look for increasing chances
for precipitation with most locales north of an including the I-80

valleys with northern Elko and northern Humboldt counties seeing
the highest amounts with valley amounts seeing a trace to five-
hundredths of an inch. Temperatures will cool slightly but will

of Nevada with winds diminishing during the overnight period. Lows
