NORMAL TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK.

DISCUSSION
NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES (MID 40S) EARLY WEEK WILL QUICKLY BE
EXCEEDED BY WEDNESDAY WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS 5-10 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL. THIS WARMING TREND IS OWED TO THE FACT THAT UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE WEEK. WITH THIS
PATTERN WE CAN ALSO EXPECT MORNING INVERSIONS AND LIGHT WINDS.
SIERRA FREEZING FOG WILL ALSO REMAIN LIKELY OVERNIGHT AND INTO THE
MORNING HOURS BEFORE BURNING OFF IN THE LATE MORNING.
THE ONLY EXCEPTION THIS WEEK WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR ENHANCED
EASTERLY BREEZES ALONG RIDGETOPS LATE MONDAY AND AGAIN LATE
THURSDAY. GUSTS MAY RANGE UP TO 50 MPH AT TIMES DURING THESE TIME
FRAMES.
DRY AND BENIGN WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST
EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THAT RIDGE REMAINS IN PLACE.

AVIATION
FZFG WILL BRING PERIODS OF IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS AT KTRK TONIGHT BEFORE
DISSIPATING AFTER 15Z. HOWEVER, UPPER LEVEL CLOUD COVER MAY
INHIBIT FOG DEVELOPMENT. OTHERWISE, VFR CONDITIONS AND LIGHT
SURFACE BREEZES PREVAIL TODAY AND THROUGH MUCH OF THIS WEEK.
MORNING HAZE FROM VALLEY INVERSIONS MAY BRING SLANTWISE
VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS EACH DAY THIS WEEK FOR W NV TERMINALS. E/NE
FL100 WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20-30 KTS ALONG THE SIERRA CREST
MONDAY EVENING, WHICH MAY POSE MOUNTAIN WAVE TURBULENCE ISSUES
INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.
