.DISCUSSION...

Strong NE ridgetop gusts remain the main story for the short term
forecast. With 700 hPa flow peaking today at around 35-40 kts,
this will translate to gusts of 70-80 mph along the highest
ridgelines. Winds may funnel down towards Lake Tahoe, bringing
enhanced breezes along the lakeshore. Expect slightly larger waves
and stronger winds than normal due to this regime.

Upper level ridging will shuttle in a warming trend with typical
afternoon breezes through much of the next week. Valley inversions
are likely to return, though little impacts are expected as
afternoon winds will help mix out any haze that settles. That
warming trend will bring afternoon highs up to the upper 60s/low
70s for valleys and upper 50s/low 60s for Sierra communities. As
of now, the deterministic forecast has 71 and 70 for Reno on
Sunday and Monday, respectively. A brief dip in temperatures
Tuesday will be owed to a brief frontal passage. No precipitation
is currently expected. Otherwise, afternoon highs will reach the
mid to upper 70s for valleys and mid 60s for Sierra communities by
the end of next week.

.AVIATION...

VFR conditions prevail through the weekend for all terminals.
Chances for FZFG at KTRK tonight remain 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.
