.DISCUSSION...

Holiday travel today will be greeted by sunny skies and mild
temperatures as broad high pressure remains anchored over the West
Coast. More of the same is in store for Thanksgiving Day, except
it`ll be a few degrees warmer with daytime highs in the 50s to low
60s for Sierra communities and 60s in NE CA and W NV valleys. Weak
low pressure will quickly traverse the PacNW states Thursday, which
should promote breezy winds in the afternoon and perhaps some bumpy
flights Thanksgiving evening.

Strong high pressure emerges in the eastern Pacific Basin over the
weekend, allowing a succession of slider-type lows and attendant
cold fronts across the region Sunday into next week. This weather
pattern tends to bring us cooler temperatures and breezy winds, but
isn`t favorable for significant rain and snow. Shower chances do
increase Sunday as the first cold front passes through, but only to
10-20%. Rain and snow amounts are trending light with a 70-90%
chance of receiving less than 0.1" of total precipitation. The
more notable change will be cooler daytime highs in the 40s and
50, and even colder mornings as temperatures fall to near/sub-
freezing each night -- especially during the Monday morning
commute which looks to be quite chilly.

A second cold frontal passage is poised to bring a reinforcing dose
of colder air and brisk winds Tuesday night or Wednesday. Rain and
snow chances are once again low (up to 20%), but confidence is low
on precip details being several days out.

.AVIATION...

High pressure will maintain VFR conditions, light winds, and mid-
to-high level clouds today. Hazy conditions will continue to
reduce slantwise visibilities across Sierra Front terminals each
evening and morning into the weekend. W/SW FL100 winds increase to
30-40 kts Thursday afternoon into Friday morning, which may yield
minor mountain wave turbulence issues.
