.DISCUSSION...

Forecast guidance continues to show an upper ridge over the W CONUS
today and into tomorrow. A shortwave trough is seen moving through
the PacNW on Sunday though keeping the general ridging pattern
intact over the CWA. The upper ridge then will restrengthen going
into the beginning of the work week with a closed low traveling
through the Pacific behind the ridge. With this pattern aloft, the
warming trend looks to continue at least through the beginning of
next week. Today`s daytime high temperatures will be similar if
not a degree or two warmer to those experienced on Friday which
were around 10-15 degrees above normal. However, near record to
record daytime high temperatures across the region expect to
start next week around 15-20 degrees above seasonal normals
(Please see the Climate section for a list of the current
temperature records at our two climate sites: Reno, NV and South
Lake Tahoe, CA). Generally, the temperature forecast for Sunday
through Tuesday shows highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s range in
NE CA and W NV valleys while the Sierra communities will range
between the upper 70s and the lower 80s. The latest NWS HeatRisk
forecast shows an areawide minor category of HeatRisk early next
week with portions of W NV being in the moderate category. Please
take the time now to prepare for this heat especially if you have
outdoor plans and are sensitive to heat.

The ridge pattern will also allow for dry conditions to prevail this
weekend and into early next week. Increased daytime heating could
allow for a brief pop-up shower, but chances look to be less than
10%. Models do not really highlight any particular area at this
time with the "best" chances. Light winds are expected today, then
typical zephyr-type west breezes (gusts up to around 25 mph)
return each afternoon on Sunday through Tuesday.

The upper air pattern looks to change by Wednesday as the resident
ridge moves east with the aforementioned low making landfall on the
west coast. There is some uncertainty in the evolution of this low
through the rest of the week as some models have the low opening
up into a trough as it makes landfall while the others continue it
as a closed low. But overall, this pattern will cause temperatures
to begin a slow cooling trend while staying above seasonal normals
going through the latter half of the week. Precipitation chances
may return to the region on Wednesday onward, but there is low
confidence in details at this time due to the model uncertainty.
Some model scenarios even show an increased potential for showers
and thunderstorms by Thursday or Friday, so will be monitoring if
they become more favorable going forward. -078

.AVIATION...

VFR conditions are expected today and tonight at all area TAF sites
with generally light winds. There is around a 20% chance that KTRK
could see fog develop between 10-15Z this morning, which could cause
sub-VFR conditions. Will monitor and amend TAF if confidence
increases. While dry conditions prevail, a warming trend also
continues through the beginning of next week which could
potentially bring density altitude concerns. -078
