...Multiple weather disturbances to bring colder temperatures,
snow showers, and gusty winds...

Another weather disturbance will bring increasing cloud cover and
wind to portions of central and particularly northern Nevada
today, with increasing chances for light snow tonight through
Thursday. Minimal snow amounts in valleys are expected of less
than one half inch at most through Thursday.

A stronger weather feature will bring better chances for
accumulating snow to valleys across central and northeastern
Nevada late Thursday through Friday morning as well as falling
temperatures. Snow amounts of one half inch with isolated areas of
2 inches are expected. Probability of greater than 2 inches
(greater than 50%) is concentrated around northern Elko county
mountains, areas adjacent to the Ruby mountains and along I-80
between Elko and Wells. Since snow is expected overnight,
potential for some impacts on roadways increases, particularly by
Friday morning.

Drier conditions return for Friday evening before light snow
arrives to northern Nevada for the weekend.
