An upper level shortwave swung south to north across the region that brought moisture/instability northward across much of  the Sierra and western NV.  This fostered increased chances (30-45%) for afternoon and evening showers/thunderstorms from I-80 southward. These storms brought lowered CIGS/VIS with terrain obscuration during heavier rainfall, gusty and erratic outflow winds with periods of blowing dust, frequent lightning and small hail. A handful of storms were expected to be on the drier side with lightning strikes outside of the wet cores on the northern edge of the moisture.

This also increased chances (15-30%) for storms across the Basin and Range as well. Stronger storms produced gusty and erratic outflow winds up to 40 kts with periods of blowing dust ablated off desert sinks and playas across the Basin and Range.
