KEY MESSAGES

QUALITY NEXT WEEK.
* GUSTY EAST WINDS MAY DEVELOP ALONG SIERRA RIDGES MONDAY INTO

DISCUSSION
HIGHS THIS WEEKEND WILL CREEP FROM THE LOW 40S TO THE UPPER 40S/LOW
50S BY THE TIME MONDAY ROLLS AROUND. THIS WARMING TREND WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST MIDWEEK AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS
OVER THE AREA. MORNING LOWS WILL ALSO START TO RISE, THOUGH WILL
REMAIN BELOW FREEZING FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
WILL ALSO BRING LIGHT WINDS AND MORNING INVERSIONS, INCREASING THE
POTENTIAL FOR AIR QUALITY CONCERNS AND FOG DEVELOPMENT IN SIERRA
VALLEYS.
THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS BENIGN WEATHER REGIME IS THE POTENTIAL
FOR INCREASED GUSTY RIDGES MONDAY AND TUESDAY DUE TO EAST WINDS.
THIS IS DUE TO A SHORTWAVE TO OUR NORTH, THOUGH MODELS WANT TO
PUSH THAT SHORTWAVE EAST, REDUCING THE LIKELIHOOD FOR SAID GUSTY
WINDS. AS THIS IS A SMALL SCALE FEATURE, THE MODELS MIGHT HAVE
DIFFICULTY RESOLVING IT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF RUNS. IF THIS DOES
SET UP, THOUGH, THOSE STRONG WINDS COULD BRING IMPACTS TO TRAVEL
AND RECREATION.
