116 FXUS65 KREV 200855 AFDREV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 155 AM PDT Fri Sep 20 2024 .SYNOPSIS... * A drier weather pattern with light winds begins today and will last through at least Wednesday of next week. * Temperatures slightly warm today and remain near average through next week. && .DISCUSSION... Beginning today, we get into a rinse and repeat pattern where it`s mostly sunny with light winds everyday. Temperatures start to level off around 80 in lower valleys and 70`s in the Sierra, with relatively light winds each afternoon out of the north/northeast through mid next week. There`s becoming more of a consensus between the GFS and EC on Tuesday of a brief Rex Block setting up off the West Coast. High pressure will be working in our favor at first with the low pressure over SoCal, then as the Block breaks down, the high pushes off east and a shortwave trough brushes by northern Nevada on Wednesday. Not a huge concern as of right now other than possible gusty winds, but something we`ll monitor as we get closer to Wednesday. -Justin && .AVIATION... Albeit slightly drier tonight, patchy fog will likely return to KTRK this morning, dissipating around 17-18Z. Otherwise, light afternoon winds, mostly sunny skies, and VFR conditions will prevail through the weekend. -Justin && .REV Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NV...None. CA...None. && $$
