593 FXUS65 KREV 060906 AFDREV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 106 AM PST Sat Dec 6 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... * Dry and mild weather continues through next week with periods of gusty ridgetop winds this weekend. * A more unsettled weather pattern may emerge around the middle of the month, but confidence is low. && .DISCUSSION... A dry and mild weather pattern will remain in place into next week as the storm track is displaced well to our north. Ridgetop gusts will increase to 40-60 mph this morning in response to a passing weak low, but should ease by the afternoon. Otherwise, take advantage of the pleasant weekend weather! High pressure overhead will maintain dry weather through next week with only a 10-20% chance of showers near the Oregon border Tuesday into Wednesday. The middle to end of next week is slated to be much warmer than normal -- as much as 15 to 20 degrees above seasonal norms -- as daytime highs reach the upper 50s to mid 60s regionwide. In fact, Reno-Tahoe Int`l Airport has a 30-50% chance of setting record daily highs between Tuesday and Thursday. Lower valley skies will also likely be hazy in the mornings next week as inversions strengthen, but should disperse in the afternoons with better heating. There continues to be hints of a pattern change around and after the middle of the month that would be more favorable for winter storms to impact the region. Whether that comes to fruition is, of course, yet to be seen, but it`s at least an encouraging signal that we may get some much needed rain and mountain snow in the coming weeks. -Salas && .AVIATION... High pressure will maintain widespread VFR conditions and light surface winds through the weekend. N/NW FL100 winds of 25-35 kts may pose some LLWS/mountain wave turbulence issues through 18Z for Tahoe and Sierra Front terminals. -Salas && .REV Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NV...None. CA...None. && $$
