.Forecast Summary...Outside of windy conditions, the Southern Great Basin will see a quiet evening tonight. Winds will begin to decrease after sunset. However, the low-pressure system in the Eastern Pacific will slide across the region tomorrow. Moisture associated with this feature will provide a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Forecasts continue to show scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop on Friday as the next low-pressure system slides down from the northwest. Temperatures across the region will remain cooler than average through the weekend before becoming above average near mid-next week.
