SYNOPSIS
Warming temperatures with continued dry weather through the Independence Day holiday with more significant heat building across the Great Basin into this weekend as a strong ridge nudges eastward out of California. By Sunday afternoon, maximum temperatures will be around ten degrees above normal for this time of year. Triple digit heat is possible in Elko Sunday afternoon for this first time this calendar year.
SHORT TERM
Rest of this afternoon through Wednesday night.
Fairly benign conditions across northeastern and central Nevada this afternoon with visible satellite completely devoid of any cloud cover thanks to a vertically stacked ridge of high pressure building eastward from California. Current temperatures so far this afternoon are in the mid to upper 80s, with forecast highs expected to add on another few degrees through the balance of the afternoon.
Winds turn light and variable tonight with lows in the mid to upper 50s, though cooler in northern Elko County with mid to upper 40s.
Wednesday, west-northwest winds increase through the afternoon and evening, with a 60% chance for wind gusts of at least 30 mph or greater. This will help lead to elevated fire weather concerns across northern Nevada (see fire weather section below). Highs very similar to today in the upper 80s to 90s in the lower valleys across central portions of the state.
LONG TERM...4th Of July through next Tuesday.
An offshore dome of high pressure slowly progresses east from the waters near California. With heights near 600 deca-meters, this strong high pressure raise concerns of a prolonged heatwave across the west coast and portions of the Great Basin. High temperatures will be above average in the upper 90s to low 100's Friday through at least Tuesday. Messaging of the dangers of heat exposure continue to ramp up, especially around the holiday and following weekend. Luckily nighttime lows do recover and drop into the 50s and 60s at night, however heat sensitive folks will be a risk of heat related illnesses during the daytime hours, if exposed for prolonged periods of time.
AVIATION
High confidence in VFR conditions prevailing over the next 24 hours across much of the region with mostly clear skies. Winds from the north-northwest this afternoon at WMC, ELY, TPH, and BAM, with and more westerly at EKO. Occasional gusts to 20 kt possible at WMC, ELY, and BAM (15% chance). Winds turn light and variable tonight before favoring similar directions again Wednesday afternoon and evening
FIRE WEATHER
No fire weather concerns today through Wednesday morning. Elevated fire weather conditions are expected in parts of Northern and Central Nevada Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday evening as relative humidity values drop to as low as 5 percent and west to northwest wind gusts approach 25 to 30 mph.
LKN Watches/Warnings/Advisories
None.
