Low temperatures this morning were in general a couple degrees below normal for the date, with low to mid 30s across Northern Nevada and upper 30s to low 50s across Central Nevada. Temperatures trend warmer today and Thursday as high pressure builds up from the south. Weak trough energy passes west to east across the region Friday into Saturday which will briefly lower temperatures. A warmer southwesterly flow aloft will send temperatures warmer again Sunday into Memorial Day.

High temperatures throughout Northern and Central Nevada Thursday afternoon will be two to five degrees warmer than this afternoon. Trough energy moves over Nevada Friday to bring a slight chance (5 to 15 percent) of thunderstorms, while also lowering temperatures by a couple to a few degrees.

Dry conditions are expected the rest of tonight through Thursday night. Friday afternoon there will be increasing chances of showers and thunderstorms across mainly areas north of the Interstate 80 corridor. Any precipitation that falls Friday is expected to be light, generally less than a few hundredths of an inch of rain. Saturday the best chances (5 to 25 percent) of showers and thunderstorms shifts to the south and east, generally Southeastern Elko County and White Pine County.

Relatively light winds the rest of today, with peak gusts into the early evening hours in the 10 to 20 mph range. Stronger winds aloft on Thursday will mix down toward the surface, with westerly winds of 10 to 20 mph gusting 20 to 30 mph from late morning through the early to mid-evening hours. Lighter winds of 7 to 17 mph gusting 15 to 25 mph are expected the remainder of this Memorial Day weekend.

It’s HeatSafety Week! The National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) and the National Weather Service are raising awareness about the dangers of extreme heat - and how you can stay safe. NEVER leave children in a car, no matter the time of year. Vehicular heatstroke has occurred when outside temperatures were below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Sunlight can cause the inside of a car to heat up VERY quickly.
