.SYNOPSIS...Mainly quiet conditions with gradually warming
temperatures through the weekend. On Sunday, light showers are
possible along the ID/NV border. Otherwise, warmer conditions at
all locations with near record temperatures possible this weekend
over central Nevada.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Saturday night. Skies are mostly
sunny this afternoon with mainly high clouds moving over northern
and central Nevada. This is due to high pressure over the area.
Expect quiet weather conditions and gradually warming temperatures
through the short term. For tonight, skies will be mostly clear
with overnight lows in the teens and 20s. Look for mostly sunny
skies tomorrow with highs in the 50s, with near 60 degrees in
some portions across central Nevada. Winds will be light. Here
are some probabilities of high temperatures greater than 55
degrees for select locations across northern and central Nevada
for Saturday afternoon:

Austin - 30%
Battle Mountain - 95%
Carlin - 10%
Elko - 3%
Ely - 100%
Eureka - 90%
Jackpot - 0%
Jarbidge - 0%
Owyhee - 3%
Ruth - 0%
Spring Creek - 0%
Tonopah - 98%
Wells - 0%
West Wendover  0%
Wildhorse Res - 0%
Winnemucca - 96%

By Saturday night, the upper ridge will be suppressed southward,
with some mid-level moisture moving into far northern Nevada, near
the border with Idaho. This could bring isolated showers to
portions of northern Elko and Humboldt counties. Overnight lows
will be in the 20s and 30s. Winds will remain light.

.LONG TERM...Sunday through next Friday

A combination of zonal and ridged upper level flow will dominate
the pattern through at least Friday, allowing temperatures to
climb. Near record highs will be present across the forecast area,
and while no broken records are currently forecast it would only
take a few extra degrees at the right time to change that. Tuesday
sees a shortwave disturbance moving along the ridge that drops
temperatures slightly along the Oregon/Idaho border and at high
elevations in northeast Nevada, but they rebound by Friday. Some
minimal precipitation is possible early in the week but clears out
by Tuesday, leaving the rest of the week dry.

&&

.AVIATION...Quiet and calm. Ceilings will be significantly above
3000 feet at all locations with winds remaining below ten knots
and mainly terrain influenced. VFR at all sites through the
Saturday afternoon.

&&

.LKN Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
None.
