.DISCUSSION...

The pattern has been on repeat all weekend, and we will hear the
same old song again for Monday. Light winds will keep inversions
locked over valleys and basins, so the associated haze and smog over
western Nevada valleys continues, as will the fog over Sierra
valleys. Cold air remains trapped in the valleys, and where fog is
present may allow for some wet, slick roadways and pockets of icing
in and around the Tahoe Basin. Until this ridging pattern breaks
down for Tuesday, this is our state of being.

So, what is on the horizon for Tuesday? Well, Tuesday evening winds
will begin to increase along ridges of the northern Sierra as
showers work across northeastern California into western Nevada. The
greatest chances (50-90%) will occur overnight Tuesday into
Wednesday. The areas with the best opportunity to see showers will
be along the northern Sierra from I-80 and northward to the
Oregon border. The best we can squeeze out for south of US-50 and
Mono County will be 30-50% chances of a few hundredths of
precipitation above 9,500-10,000 feet. Elsewhere, the Basin and
Range will stay dry through the end of the week.

This weekend another system looks to take aim at the region. This
system initially looks a tad cooler, so it may have more snow
potential. However, these details are in the longer range, and with
little agreement of the exact track for this low it can be difficult
to tease out the details this far in advance. HRICH
