High Wind in Western Nevada Basin and Range, Nevada

A mesonet station (UP983-Mill City) located 1.0 mile W of Mill City, NV, reported a peak wind gust of 62 mph.

The next system on the 6th and 7th Tuesday featured light shower chances across portions of the eastern Sierra and increased east to northeast winds. The next system arrived late Monday as a backdoor cold front that slid south through the area. East to northeast winds behind the front caused upslope flow east of the Sierra crests into the 7th with a 20-30% chance for some light snow showers in the Tahoe Basin area southward into Mono and Mineral counties. The northeast flow from this system was the primary impact with wind gusts upwards of 80+ mph across Sierra ridgetops that brought impacts to backcountry recreation and aviation interests across the region.
