.DISCUSSION...
Borderline atmospheric moisture present across the
Great Basin today for dry thunderstorms. Expecting afternoon
cumulus buildups and virga across most of the forecast area, but
anticipating only a 5%-10% chance of dry thunderstorms, including
a lightning strike or two. Any storms that do form will be
relegated to the high terrain. With atmospheric moisture content
borderline for storms as noted, have opted to refrain from
including dry thunder in the forecast, but it is worth noting the
low chance here. Higher confidence that diurnally driven
thunderstorms will return in earnest to central Nevada beginning
Tuesday as an upper level perturbation helps advect moisture north
and into the forecast area. Thunderstorms and showers will be a
mix of wet and dry. Given adequate dynamic forcing associated
with the perturbation, thunderstorms will carry into the evening
hours, gradually dissipating into light showers. Activity looks to
be primarily situated across central and western Nevada, and
locations in and near FWZ 470 are forecast to remain dry Tuesday
and Tuesday night. Diurnally driven convection persists thru the
latter half of the week. Though there is increasing uncertainty
amongst the progs pertaining to atmospheric moisture content. Will
continue to favor mostly dry storm modes for the time being,
though some progs are indicating atmospheric moisture content
sufficient enough to produce widespread wetting rains across most
of the forecast area by Friday, the exclusion being in and near
FWZ 437.
