DISCUSSION
THIS MORNING'S CHILLY AIR WILL BEGIN TO MODERATE STARTING TODAY,
WITH UPPER 50S TO NEAR 60 FOR WESTERN NEVADA VALLEYS AND UPPER 40S
TO NEAR 50 FOR SIERRA VALLEYS. WE WILL SEE ONE MORE NIGHT OF NEAR
FREEZING TEMPERATURES ACROSS WESTERN NEVADA VALLEYS, BUT OUR SIERRA
FRIENDS WILL HAVE BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES THROUGH MID WEEK.
A RIDGING PATTERN BUILDS BACK OVER THE REGION THROUGH THIS WEEK,
ALLOWING FOR OUR TEMPERATURES TO GENTLY CLIMB BACK TO ABOVE SEASONAL
AVERAGES BY LATE WEEK. ALONG WITH THE UPWARD NUDGE IN TEMPERATURES,
WE WILL SEE A DOWNWARD TREND IN WINDS. AFTERNOON GUSTS TODAY WILL
RANGE 10-15 MPH OVER LEESIDE VALLEYS AS THE GUSTS OVER THE SIERRA
WILL BE UP TO 35 MPH. AFTER TODAY, WINDS WILL TAPER OVER THE SIERRA
AND REMAIN LOWER OVER THE WESTERN NEVADA. ALL IN ALL, THIS UPCOMING
WEEK LOOKS RATHER BENIGN WHEN COMPARED TO OUR RECENT WEATHER
PATTERN.
THERE ARE SIGNALS IN THE LONGER RANGE OUTLOOKS INDICATING ANOTHER
TROUGH WILL DROP IN ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST, WHICH COULD BRING BACK
COLDER AIR, SHOWERS AND GUSTY WINDS. STAY TUNED AS WE KEEP OUR
EYES ON EARLY NEXT WEEK'S FORECAST DETAILS. HRICH
