1228 PM PST Sun Nov 23 2025
.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 1220 PM PST Sun Nov 23 2025
* Low chance of isolated snow showers for the mountains of N Elko
county on Monday.
* Quiet conditions with warming temperatures Tuesday through
Thanksgiving day

.DISCUSSION...
There is a low risk for fire weather conditions through the holiday
weekend. A quick moving upper trough will bring a brief chance for
isolated snow showers Monday midday into afternoon across far
northern Elko county. Tuesday through Thanksgiving looks to be quiet
and cool with high pressure transiting the area. Precipitation
chances return for the higher elevations with a 10% to 20% chance for
isolated showers Friday into Saturday across northern Nevada.
Note: See Fire Weather Discussion in the Area Forecast Discussion
for more info
Note: Thunderstorms imply gusty and erratic winds
Note: CWR means precipitation totals will be more than 0.10 inches
Note: Winds in the extended forecast are average daytime winds
