...Cold front to bring gusty winds, rain and some snow...

A strong cold front associated with a Pacific low pressure system
will move through the state beginning tonight across northwestern
Nevada, reaching White Pine county by Saturday afternoon. A mix of
rain and snow along with gusty winds will accompany this cold
front. Rain could transition to snow quickly above 5500 feet
through the day Saturday. Expect reductions in visibility as the
transition occurs but impacts will be minimal during the day as
temperatures will remain above freezing until Saturday night.
Impacts from snow on roadways will be most likely after midnight
Saturday into early Sunday morning before sunrise primarily across
White Pine county. Some slick and slushy spots on elevated
roadways and summits are possible with conditions improving during
the day on Sunday with only lingering light snow shower activity.
Wind gusts Saturday will be in the 20-25 mph range in valleys
mainly from the west.

Opportunities for snow showers will persist through early next
week but impacts will be limited, especially during the day.
Another, potentially more impactful storm system will arrive for
the middle of next week.
