DISCUSSION
AN UPPER TROUGH LIFTING THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL SUPPORT
ANOTHER WINDY AFTERNOON TODAY. W/NW GUSTS OF 30-40 MPH WILL BE
COMMON FROM LASSEN CO/THE SURPRISE VALLEY INTO NW NEVADA THIS
AFTERNOON, MAKING FOR POOR/HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR LAKE RECREATION
IN THESE AREAS. IT'LL ALSO BE AROUND 10F COOLER TODAY COMPARED TO
YESTERDAY WITH DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE 70S AND 80S.
THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WILL BE WARM AND DRY UNDER ZONAL FLOW,
WITH LIGHTER, MORE TYPICAL BREEZES IN THE AFTERNOONS. COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED WINDS ARE SLATED OVER THE WEEKEND AS A
DEEPENING INTERMOUNTAIN TROUGH ALLOWS A SERIES OF COLD FRONTS TO
PASS THROUGH THE REGION. WINDS WILL BECOME BREEZY WITH EACH FRONTAL
PASSAGE THIS WEEKEND, PERHAPS STRONGEST ON SUNDAY DEPENDING ON THE
DEPTH/LOCATION OF THE PARENT TROUGH. E/NE RIDGE WINDS ALSO LOOK TO
INCREASE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AFTER THE FRONT PASSES, WHICH MAY
LEAD TO AVIATION IMPACTS FOR FLIGHTS OVER THE SIERRA. THESE COLD
FRONTS WILL BE DRY, BUT A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS MAY SNEAK INTO PERSHING
AND CHURCHILL COUNTIES ON SUNDAY (5-10% CHANCE).
COMPARED TO THIS WEEK, THE WEEKEND INTO MONDAY WILL BE NOTICEABLY
COOLER -- ESPECIALLY SUNDAY AND MONDAY WHEN DAYTIME HIGHS FALL TO
THE 50S AND 60S. KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN MAKING WEEKEND PLANS AS
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES WILL LIKELY BE MET WITH BRISK, UNPLEASANT
WEATHER. A WARMING TREND WILL BRING TEMPERATURES BACK TO AND ABOVE
SEASONAL AVERAGES FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
