Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Kingston, NV

SHORT TERM
Wednesday into Friday morning

A shortwave draped over northern NV Wednesday morning will push to the south over the course of the day. The boundary associated with the wave will slow its progress as it makes its way through central NV during the afternoon hours as the wave deepens and amplifies. A decent layer of low-level frontogenesis over central and east-central NV combined with sufficient instability and moisture will help to produce showers and isolated convection through the evening Wednesday. Accumulations over central NV will range from 0.1 to 0.2 inches of rainfall through Wednesday night.

The boundary will push out of the CWA by Thursday morning replaced by a post frontal regime and northerly flow over the area.
Thursday will be dry for the region as high pressure builds over the Great Basin providing pleasant weather and calm winds. The HPC will give brief respite to active weather as a large upper level trough begins to encroach on the Basin Thursday night. High pressure gets pushed to the east as the trough makes its way into the SW CONUS by Friday morning setting the area up for a wet weekend.


LONG TERM
Friday through next Wednesday

One final day of mostly quiet conditions to start the long term.
Upper level ridging will be dominant on Friday, keeping conditions dry with the exception of some isolated showers in central Nevada.
High temperatures will be in the 70s, dropping to the 40s overnight. The next major weather maker enters the region overnight as an upper level trough moves onshore, and rain spreads out beginning in Humboldt county to cover the entire forecast area by midday. Convective showers mix in during the afternoon and snow begins to mix in at higher elevations overnight as snow levels drop. High temperatures will be in the 60s. Rain, afternoon convection, and overnight snow continue on Sunday, and high temperatures will only reach the 50s. Conditions start to clear for Monday, but only Humboldt can expect a mostly-dry afternoon as widespread rain and a few thunderstorms continue across the rest of the area. Showers actually dry out after midnight Monday night with only a few showers lingering near the Utah border by sunrise.
The bulk of accumulations Saturday morning through Monday afternoon will be in central Nevada and a few mountains in northern and eastern Nevada, where 1-2 inches of liquid equivalent precipitation are currently expected. Valleys across the entire area can expect a quarter to half an inch of liquid. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms return Tuesday afternoon but clear out just as quickly as they appeared. Upper level ridging looks to return on Wednesday, making for a warm and dry day.



AVIATION
Scattered showers in Northern Nevada tonight will shift southward into Central Nevada Wednesday morning. MVFR or lower conditions are conceivable in and near showers tonight and Wednesday morning.
This possibility is not great enough for inclusion in the terminal forecasts at this time. Isolated thunderstorms may develop over Central Nevada Wednesday afternoon. These thunderstorms should be few and far between and the chance of a thunderstorm impacting KELY and/or KTPH will be very low.
