807 FXUS65 KREV 270905 AFDREV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 205 AM PDT Fri Sep 27 2024 .SYNOPSIS... * Well above normal temperatures and dry conditions will prevail into next week. * There is some signal of a cooler pattern with increased breezes late next week, but confidence remains low. && .DISCUSSION... A quiet weather pattern is in store for the foreseeable future. Dry weather along with an upward trend in temperatures is expected into the weekend. Daily high temperatures will reach the 70s to mid 80s for the eastern Sierra communities and northeast CA. Mainly 80s to low 90s are expected for western NV, and the lower elevations of Lassen and Mono counties. These readings are around 8-12 degrees above average for late September. A weak trough passing through the region on Sunday will lead to a slight uptick in the winds for Saturday, with gusts of 25 mph along the Sierra ridges and in western NV. Although we`re not expecting any critical fire weather conditions, it`s still plenty dry outside, with low RHs. The ensembles show a ridge building back into the eastern Pacific, western US into the middle of next week. Blended guidance is picking up on this pattern, with above average temperatures expected through this period. After Wednesday through the end of next week, ensembles start to diverge in their solutions to the upper air pattern. Thus, temperatures will trend to climatology in the long term with no precipitation. -McKellar && .AVIATION... Widespread VFR conditions and light afternoon breezes will prevail through the week. Southwest breezes may increase on Saturday, otherwise winds will remain light. - Salas/McKellar && .REV Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NV...None. CA...None. && $$
