An area of low pressure will dig through the Great Basin Tuesday followed by building high pressure over northern Nevada, setting up another offshore flow through midweek. This will also bring slightly cooler temperatures and gusty Santa Ana winds, mainly below passes and canyons. Expect mostly sunny skies Tuesday with north to northeast winds 5-15mph, highs in the upper 40's. Breezy and a little cooler on Wednesday as highs drop into the mid-40's, northeast winds 5-15mph at times with gusts around 20 possible. The offshore flow weakens a bit through the end of the week, bringing warmer temps as daytime highs top out near 50-degrees, while overnight lows remain in the 20's. Temperatures will stay close to average through the weekend with dry weather ahead. Long-range forecast models still hint at a pattern change across the west that could lead to a return of unsettled weather early next month, as early as next week!
If travel plans bring you into the mountains during the winter months come prepared, pack extra food, water, warm clothing, and
always carry tire chains!
