Increased shower and thunderstorm activity is expected today and tonight. The main area of concern will be eastern Nevada where the Storm Prediction Center has issued a marginal risk for severe thunderstorms. A severe thunderstorm is capable of producing hail that is one inch or larger, or wind gusts stronger than 58 mph. Dangerous and frequent cloud to ground lightning will also be present.
There is a marginal risk (at least 5%) of excessive rainfall leading to flash flooding for the entire forecast area today and tonight. Any flooding would primarily impact low-lying or poor drainage locations. Continue to monitor the forecast for updates and/or flooding alerts.
Here are the latest precipitation forecasts for today through tonight, as well as Friday through Friday night. The majority of new precip accumulation will occur today as an upper level system continues to move into the Great Basin from the west.
A colder air mass will begin to move into Nevada from the northwest late tonight and thru Friday morning. Snow levels across northern Nevada will lower to between 6,000 and 7,000 feet. As precipitation exits the forecast area to the east Friday, it is likely that the cold air moving in behind the outgoing system will transition lingering rain to snow. Light accumulations will be possible across the foothills and higher elevation valleys, primarily across northern Nevada.
A daily rainfall record was tied at Tonopah, Nevada yesterday, October 21st with 0.15 inches of rain recorded. This ties the old record of 0.15 inches set in 1985.
