.KEY MESSAGES...
* A series of disturbances will roll through the Western US this
  week, bringing precipitation chances to the southern Great Basin
  and dry, breezy conditions elsewhere.
&&
.DISCUSSION...Today through Monday.
Late-morning satellite imagery continues to show a broad swath of
mid- and high-level clouds associated with a shortwave trough across
eastern Nevada and northwest Arizona. A few isolated showers and
embedded thunderstorms are also noted across far northern Lincoln
County, but this activity should move north and east of the area
over the next few hours. Elsewhere, dry conditions will continue
with breezy afternoons persisting through mid-week. Temperatures
will remain near seasonable values until late in the week when the
next system approaches. Model guidance continues to come into better
agreement regarding the timing and strength of the shortwave, most
likely arriving on Friday. Similar to today`s system, late-week
precipitation chances (20 to 40 percent) appear to be largely
confined to the Sierra and southern Great Basin. However, the wind
and temperature response should be more robust, with widespread
gusts of 20 to 40 mph on Friday and temperatures falling 4 to 8
degrees below normal over the weekend. Ensemble guidance suggests
troughing will linger over the western US into next week, keeping
temperatures seasonably cool and breezes elevated.
