.DISCUSSION...
An isolated mix of wet and dry thunderstorms is expected in the
majority of Northern and Central Nevada each afternoon and evening
today and Saturday. A few of these thunderstorms could be strong.
The primary thunderstorm hazards will be erratic wind gusts as
high as 55 mph and dangerous cloud to ground lighting strikes.
Monsoonal moisture will move northward into Eastern and Central
Nevada Sunday through Wednesday, resulting in the likelihood of
wetting thunderstorms each afternoon and evening.
