SYNOPSIS
A few light rain showers are expected along the Nevada and Idaho border later this evening through mainly Monday evening.
Cooler conditions continue on Monday, although shower activity across northeastern Nevada will be winding down. A multi-day warming trend and light winds under a high pressure ridge will commence Tuesday with highs reaching into the 90s by Wednesday with some mid to upper 90s expected across west-central Nevada.
Opportunities for showers and thunderstorms return later this week across northwestern Nevada.
SHORT TERM
Tonight through Monday night. Mid and high-level clouds continue to move across mainly northern Nevada this afternoon. No precipitation is occurring at this time. However, through tonight and into Monday, upper level low pressure will be moving across the Pacific Northwest states. This will bring limited moisture to mainly northern Nevada for early Monday morning. Overnight lows will be in the 40s and 50s with mostly cloudy skies in the north and mostly clear conditions in central Nevada.
By Monday morning, the aforementioned low pressure system will remain in southern Canada. The highest chances for precipitation will be mainly north of the I-80 corridor where up to 0.15 inches or so could fall in the valley locations. Highs will be in the 70s and 80s with the warmest temperatures seen in central Nevada.
Winds will be breezy to windy with west winds of 15 to 25 mph and gusts to 40 mph. The shower activity will wane during the early evening hours with clouds scattering out from west to east after midnight. Overnight lows will be in the 40s and 50s.
LONG TERM
Tuesday through next Saturday.
A strong ridge of high pressure will build across the western U.S., bringing warm temperatures and dry conditions to the CWA mid to late next week. Temperatures will start in the 70s to 80s and increase into the upper 80s and 90s. Lows will mostly be in the 50s to 60s. Meanwhile, some moisture ahead of a low pressure system near the southern California coast pushes northward and may bring a 20% chance of precipitation along the ID/NV border.
The ridge slowly breaks down next weekend along with a 10-25% chance of rain showers and thunderstorms for region. However, there are some differences between ensemble members indicating low to moderate confidence in the timing. Temperatures expected to remain in the 80s to 90s with breezy southerly winds at 10-15 mph.
AVIATION
VFR conditions will continue through the next 24 hours at all terminals. Scattered to broken mid-upper level clouds will be across the area through Monday. VCSH expected at northern TAF sites starting after 03Z Mon at KWMC and after 06Z at KBAM and KEKO. Breezy winds from the SW-W expected to affect all TAF sites, increasing to 10-15 knots with gusts as high as 25-35 knots.
HYDROLOGY
Flows on many small creeks and streams remain elevated. The lower Humboldt continues to run strong with Battle Mountain currently hovering near action stage and is expected to remain at or just above action stage for the next several days.
Wildhorse Reservoir resides in action stage and is forecast to remain in action stage for the next several days.
Finally, Lamoille Creek will be hovering around action stage for the next couple days and may even increase slightly as temperatures slowly climb higher in the afternoon period.
LKN Watches/Warnings/Advisories
None.
