DISCUSSION
HOT AND DRY WEATHER IS IN STORE THIS WEEKEND WITH LIGHT BREEZES EACH
AFTERNOON. PLAN ON REGIONAL HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S AND 80S TODAY FOR
POPULATED AREAS OF THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA. A WARMING TREND
PROMOTES A RETURN TO 80 AND 90 DEGREE HEAT FOR SUNDAY, SO MAKE SURE
YOU PRACTICE YOUR HEAT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES TODAY
BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY ON SUNDAY AS CUMULUS BUILD-UPS DEVELOP IN THE
DAYTIME. SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS MAY MATURE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF ALPINE
AND MONO COUNTIES, BUT CHANCES ARE ONLY 10-15%. GIVEN THIS, KEEP
YOUR EYES ON THE SKIES IF RECREATING IN THE MOUNTAINS SUNDAY!
PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE, ALBEIT RATHER WEAK, WILL BE NEARLY STATIONARY
AS IT MEANDERS OFF THE CA COAST EARLY THIS WEEK. THIS LOW MAY
PROVIDE ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS MONDAY
AFTERNOON IN THE SIERRA AND NEAR THE OREGON BORDER (15% CHANCE).
THE WEAK LOW WILL FINALLY DISLODGE AND ADVANCE ACROSS THE REGION
LATE TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. AS IT DOES SO, WINDS MAY BECOME
BREEZY AROUND MIDWEEK AND YIELD ELEVATED TO LOCALLY CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEVADA. SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES ALSO INCREASE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON -- MAINLY
FOR AREAS NORTH OF THE I-80 CORRIDOR -- AS THE LOW PASSES OVERHEAD.
HIGH PRESSURE AMPLIFIES TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK, ALLOWING FOR
WIDESPREAD WARMING THAT BRINGS HIGHS CLOSER TO 90F AND 100F FOR
SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA COMMUNITIES, RESPECTIVELY.
