SYNOPSIS  
  
* A WARMING TREND WILL RESULT IN SPRING-LIKE TEMPERATURES THIS   
  WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.   
  
* A COUPLE OF WEAK SYSTEMS WILL BRING BREEZES ALONG WITH A FEW   
  SHOWERS TO NORTHEAST CA AND NORTHWEST NV SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

  END OF FEBRUARY WITH A MORE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN POSSIBLE IN   
  EARLY MARCH.   
  
  
   
DISCUSSION  
  
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING, DUE TO AN UPPER  
LEVEL RIDGE PATTERN BUILDING IN. HOWEVER, THESE CLEAR SKIES WILL  
ALLOW FOR RADIATIONAL COOLING, BRINGING AREAS OF FREEZING FOG TO   
THE TRUCKEE AREA. HOWEVER, ANY LINGERING FOG WILL BURN OFF AS THE  
SUN RISES.    
  
DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR MUCH OF THE NEXT WEEK WITH A  
COUPLE SHORTWAVE TROUGHS BRUSHING BY THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO  
SUNDAY AND THEN AGAIN MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THESE TROUGHS  
WILL BRING LIGHT SHOWERS TO NE CA AND ALONG THE OR BORDER.  
HOWEVER, THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS TO DROP INTO THE TAHOE  
BASIN. IT'S WORTHY TO NOTE, THOUGH, THAT THESE ARE SMALL-SCALE,  
QUICK-MOVING FEATURES. SO, THERE'S SOME WIGGLE ROOM ON JUST HOW   
FAR SOUTH THOSE SHOWERS WILL REACH. THE SHORTWAVES WILL ALSO BRING  
PERIODS OF INCREASED GUSTY AFTERNOON WINDS, BUT THE STRONGEST   
GUSTS WILL BE LOCALIZED ALONG THE SIERRA.   
  
FINALLY, IT LOOKS LIKE PUNXSATAWNEY PHIL MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BIT OFF  
IN HIS FORECASTING. SPRING-LIKE TEMPERATURES, MORE REMINISCENT OF  
APRIL, ARE EXPECTED AREA-WIDE THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK WITH MONDAY  
LOOKING TO BE THE WARMEST DAY. LOCATIONS ACROSS WESTERN NEVADA  
WILL SEE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60S WHILE AREAS IN THE  
SIERRA WILL SEE HIGHS IN THE MID 50S.
