.KEY MESSAGES...

* High pressure this week will provide dry conditions, light
  winds, and a warming trend through Thanksgiving Day.

* Valley inversions will strengthen, leading to potential
  reductions in air quality for lower valleys this week.

* Increasing likelihood for a cooler and breezier pattern next
  weekend with a 20-30% chance for precipitation.

.DISCUSSION...

Freezing fog will be possible again this morning through the
Martis Valley and Truckee area along with a 20-30% chance of
patchy fog in more rural W.Nevada areas near Lovelock and Fallon.
Fog may be less widespread than yesterday due to increased winds
aloft promoting better mixing in some areas.

The weather through the upcoming holiday week will remain
relatively quiet as a dirty ridge of high pressure builds over
the region. This setup will provide dry conditions, periods of
high clouds, light winds, gradually warming temperatures, and
strengthening valley inversions.

By Thanksgiving, high pressure will continue to strengthen,
reinforcing valley inversions and potentially reducing air
quality in lower valleys as wind and mixing remain minimal.
Temperatures will climb steadily, with daytime highs reaching
near 10 degrees above season averages, with highs in the lower 60s
across W.Nevada and mid-upper 50s for Sierra valleys by Thursday.

By this weekend, forecast confidence decreases as a blocking
pattern develops over the E.Pacfic. This setup could allow colder
shortwave troughs to drop in from the northwest and deepen across
the western U.S. While ensemble guidance varies considerably on
timing, confidence is growing in a cooler, breezier pattern with
at least some potential (20-30% chances) for precipitation next
week. Fuentes

for KMEV, KNFL, and KLOL this morning. Areas of light to moderate
turbulence will be possible today east of the Sierra crest as
wind gusts aloft (FL100), reach between 30-40 kt. Fuentes
