DISCUSSION
THE RELATIVELY COOLER PATTERN ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH WILL
FINALLY DISLODGE AND PUSH EASTWARD ALLOWING FOR A GRADUAL HEAT UP
THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK. OVERALL, THERE ISN'T ANYTHING
REMARKABLE WITH THE WEATHER FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND, BUT PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD STILL BE TAKEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE HEAT, THE AFTERNOON
BREEZES, AND THE SMALL POTENTIAL (5% CHANCE) FOR AFTERNOON/EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS.
HEAT: DAYTIME HIGHS CLIMB INTO THE MID 90S FOR WESTERN NEVADA
VALLEYS THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND, REINTRODUCING MINOR TO MODERATE
HEATRISK. ELSEWHERE IN THE SIERRA, 80S TO NEAR 90 ARE EXPECTED
EACH DAY THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND. OVERNIGHTS FOR WESTERN NEVADA
VALLEYS WILL RANGE 50S AND 60S, WHILE THE SIERRA VALLEYS WILL SEE
40S TO LOW 50S FOR THEIR OVERNIGHT LOWS. ENSURE YOU ARE STAYING
HYDRATED WITH WATER AND ELECTROLYTES AS IT HEATS UP AND YOU ENJOY
THE OUTDOORS. KEEP AN EYE ON CHILDREN AND PETS DURING THE HOTTER
PERIODS OF THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. LIGHT CLOTHING, PLENTY OF
SUNSCREEN, AND ACCESS TO PROPER HYDRATION WILL BE THE BEST WAY TO
ENJOY CELEBRATING SAFELY THIS WEEKEND.
THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL: A HANDFUL OF SHOWERS WITH A FEW EMBEDDED
LIGHTNING STRIKES POPPED UP YESTERDAY AFTERNOON OVER MONO COUNTY,
AND WE CAN EXPECT A SIMILAR POTENTIAL FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. IT'S SUMMER, SO BEING AWARE AND KEEPING AN EYE ON THE SKY
DURING THE AFTERNOONS SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR OUTDOOR RECREATION
ROUTINE. LOWER CHANCES (LESS THAN 10%) FOR SHOWERS EXIST EACH DAY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND ACROSS THE SIERRA WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE WARMER
TEMPERATURES.
WINDS: DAILY AFTERNOON GUSTS OF 20-25 MPH WILL INCREASE ONLY
SLIGHTLY THIS WEEKEND WITH GUSTS 25-30 MPH FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY
AFTERNOONS. PLAN ON A FEW HOURS OF CHOPPY CONDITIONS ON AREA LAKES
IN THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS. ENSURE THAT YOU ASSIMILATE THE
FORECASTED CONDITIONS INTO YOUR DAILY BOATING PLANS TO STAY SAFE AND
HAVE FUN. REMEMBER TO HAVE LIFE JACKETS FOR ALL ON BOARD, ESPECIALLY
KIDS AND PETS, AND BOAT SAFELY DURING THE CALMEST PARTS OF THE DAYS
THIS WEEKEND.
LAST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST...WE'RE IN THE THICK OF FIRE SEASON
AND WITH RECENT DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS THE FUELS ARE RECEPTIVE TO
SPARKS. AVOID ALL ACTIVITIES THAT COULD CREATE SPARKS AND LEAVE THE
FIREWORKS TO THE PROFESSIONALS THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
