(Today through Friday)

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Winds will be elevated today, but the area
of coverage of the stronger winds will be limited to Eastern Elko
County where NW winds of 20 to 25 MPH with gusts near 40 MPH will be
possible. Sunday, the upper trough exits allowing the development of
a strong ridge of high pressure that will build in across the Great
Basin shoving the storm track that has been across the Pacific NW
north into Canada. This will bring quiet conditions, warming
temperatures and lighter W to SW winds beginning Monday, and lasting
through at least Friday. Temperatures for the week will start in the
low to mid 40s for highs, warming back into the upper 50s to low 60s
by Friday afternoon. Low temperatures Sunday morning start in the
low 20s will also warm back into the low 30s by Saturday morning.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: There is high confidence in the
development of a strong ridge of high pressure across the SW US and
Great Basin Regions that will bring quiet weather and warming
temperatures Monday through next Friday.
