.DISCUSSION...

Not a lot of change in the forecast.

Current conditions across western Nevada, the Sierra and northeast
California show mostly clear skies with mild temperatures, light
winds in the valleys and mid-slopes, and breezy to gusty winds in
the Sierra ridges.

Tomorrow, winds will increase in the ridgetops of the Sierra
(especially the Eastern Sierra) with gusts potentially reaching
60-80 mph from the northeast as a jet streak descends towards the
Eastern Sierra on Saturday. Fortunately, winds in the valleys
will not be as strong with gusts mostly in the 20-30 mph range
with the western slopes of mountains in the 25 to 40 mph range.
Winds will quickly subside on Saturday night as the low continues
its track towards SoCal and Baja California.

Temperatures this weekend into early next week will be in a warming
trend. By Sunday, many western NV and NE CA valley locations will
be reaching 70F, and by Monday afternoon highs will be in the low
to mid 70s. All thanks to an upper ridge expanding from the
Eastern Pacific into the Great Basin. Chances for exceeding 70F on
Sunday range from 40-90%, and above 80% for Monday in valley
locations. The rest of the area will be in the 60s, with 50s or
lower in the highest elevations of mountains.

Next week, fair weather prevails with generally light winds and
warm temperatures. There is a hiccup with a weak and dry cold
front pushing south on Tuesday bringing slightly cooler
temperatures. However, we bounce back right after. For the rest
of the week into the weekend, we appear to remain mostly at the
edge of the storm track to our north and the edge of the ridge
over us. So, no significant impacts are expected in the extended
period along with warm temperatures, dry conditions and light to
breezy afternoon winds.

.AVIATION...

VFR conditions prevail through the weekend for all terminals.
Chances for FZFG at KTRK tonight continues to be low, due to
elevated ridgetop gusts. FL100 winds remain elevated through much
of today, with gusts of 30-40 kts, bringing localized areas of
LLWS and turbulence along the Sierra.
