High temperatures are still projected to be up to 15 degrees above normal for this time of year due to a high pressure system positioned over Baja California that will strengthen and bring in warmer temperatures to the southwest. Northern Nevada temperatures came down slightly, however central Nevada is still expected to be near or tie the record.
Overnight lows will generally be in the 30s over northern and central Nevada. Look for warmer conditions Friday afternoon with readings in the 50s to mid 60s in some spots.
A record high temperature of 62 degrees was set in Eureka, Nevada today (February 26th). This ties the old record of 62 degrees set in 1965. Well above normal temperatures will persist in Eureka and across the region through the weekend.
