NWS Forecast Office Elko, NV

A Pacific storm system will move into Nevada by Tuesday bringing in much cooler temperatures and wetter conditions. High temperatures will remain below normal for this time of year as the system will stall over Nevada as a high pressure system lingers over the central U.S. making the silver state more enjoyable if you like the cold, or miserable if you want the heat to finally arrive.

A Wind Advisory is in effect for northeastern Nye and White Pine Counties from 1100 AM PDT to 1100 PM PDT Tuesday. North winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 50 mph are possible. Travel will be difficult, particularly for high profile vehicles. Localized areas of blowing dust may reduce visibility to one mile or less. Please use caution!
