The primary thunderstorm hazards will be wind gusts near 45 mph and dangerous cloud to ground lightning strikes. An Eastern Pacific storm system will dig southward tonight, before making landfall over Northern California Saturday. This low pressure system will move eastward through Northern and Central Nevada Saturday night and Sunday, resulting in periods of valley rain and mountain snow. The majority of precipitation will fall Saturday night and Sunday morning. Snow levels will start at around 8,000 feet this afternoon, before dropping to about 6,500 feet Sunday morning. Here are probabilities of one inch or more of rain for select locations in Northern and Central Nevada from 5 PM PDT Friday, October 30th, 2026 through 4 AM PST Monday, November 2nd, 2026:
