SYNOPSIS
A weather disturbance will bring gusty west winds to the area along with rain and snow showers to far northern Nevada today. Dry conditions return tomorrow but a significant weather change is coming up for the weekend. A strong low pressure system will approach the state Saturday bringing strong south winds to much of area along with increasing cloud and shower coverage across northwestern Nevada. Much colder daytime temperatures in the 40s and widespread rain and snow will move into the state Sunday. Chances of rain and snow remain across much of northern Nevada next week with slowly moderating temperatures.
SHORT TERM
Tonight through Friday night. Light, isolated to scattered showers are moving across the northern sections of Nevada, north of I-80. Remote observation platforms are showing amounts of less than 0.05 inches at this time. Look for these showers to move east through the day. In addition, a stray lightning strike or two is possible along the Idaho border during the afternoon. Look for the showers to diminish during the evening hours from west to east. Overnight lows will be in the 20s and 30s.
For Friday and Friday night, a shortwave ridge will shift over the forecast area. This will bring dry and warm conditions to the area. Readings will be in the 60s and 70s and winds will be rather light with occasional gusts to 20 mph. A potent upper level low pressure system will dive to the southeast late Friday night.
Clouds will be on the increase though no precipitation is expected during the overnight. Winds will remain light with overnight lows in the 30s and 40s.
LONG TERM
Saturday through next Thursday
A strong low pressure system will approach the state Saturday, bringing strong south winds along with increasing cloud and precipitation. Wind gusts to 50 mph are possible across central Nevada with wind gusts to 35 mph in northern Nevada. The low is expected to move across the forecast area Saturday night through Monday. Snow levels start out 8500-9000 feet before lowering to about 4500-5000 feet by Sunday morning.
