WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: A cold front will approach Northeastern
Nevada this afternoon. High temperatures this afternoon will be
about five degrees colder than yesterday afternoon. The cold front
will move southward across Eastern Nevada tonight into Saturday
morning, resulting in scattered, light snow showers. Snow amounts
will be less than an inch, except on passes and summits along
Highway 50 east of Ely. Most of this light snow will fall tonight.

Northwesterly flow aloft will keep cold air flowing into the
service area Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. Maximum
temperatures Saturday afternoon will be two to four degrees below
seasonal values. Low temperatures Saturday night will be six to
eight degrees below normal for this time of year. Minimum apparent
temperatures in the coldest valleys of Northern and Central Nevada
will be near zero degrees Saturday night.

An Eastern Pacific ridge of high pressure will make landfall along
the west coast of the United States Sunday. This ridge of high
pressure will weaken as it passes through the Silver State Monday.
Another ridge of high pressure will amplify near the west coast of
the United States Tuesday. This ridge of high pressure will pass
over the forecast area Wednesday, before weakening Thursday. A
warming trend is expected Sunday through Wednesday. By Wednesday
afternoon, high temperatures will be seven to nine degrees above
normal for this time of year. Maximum temperatures Thursday
afternoon will remain above seasonal values.
