Expect another chilly morning tomorrow across northern and central Nevada with low temperatures dropping into the teens and 20s. High temperatures will rebound nicely under sunny skies and light winds. Afternoon highs will climb into the 50s and 60s.

Overnight low temperatures on Sunday will be in the 20s and 30s. An upper level ridge will be providing plenty of sunshine during the afternoon hours with highs climbing into the 60s and 70s.

Look for improving, warming temperatures through the weekend as a high pressure ridge moves east. Highs will climb into the 70s with lows in the 30s and 40s. By mid-week next week, the potential exists for a weather system to affect the area with cooling temperatures.

High pressure builds in today through Monday with dry conditions across Northern and Central Nevada. The next round of moisture is projected to overspread the region next week, late on Tuesday. With afternoon highs in the 60s to low 70s Tuesday and only lowering into the 50s Wednesday and Thursday, most of the precipitation next week is expected to be rain, though light snow is possible during the overnight hours.

New record morning low temperatures have been set or tied this morning thanks to a cold air mass in the wake of Thursdays showers. Elko (10 degrees, Tied), Ely (11 degrees), Eureka (6 degrees), and Winnemucca (10 degrees) all set new marks for minimum temperatures.
