.DISCUSSION...

Not too much going on over the next few days with our bubble of high
pressure overhead. Storms will still ride along the edge of this
high pressure and stay mostly to our north, however mid-next week
we`ll see those showers creep a little further south near the NV/OR
border. At the end of next weekend we may see this high pressure
finally budge and give way to that beloved winter weather.

As mentioned before, these shortwave troughs riding around the edge
of the high pressure will deliver a 30-60% chance of light rain
showers Tuesday, Wednesday, and possibly into Thursday next week
for northern Washoe County, Surprise Valley, and northern Lassen
County. The next round of showers in those same areas look to be
around Thursday.

High temperatures will continue to gradually warm up each day
through this weekend and through next week, eventually bringing high
temperatures into the 60`s in lower valleys and Sierra valleys by
Wednesday. The temperatures will be so warm next week that KRNO will
have a 60-70% chance to tie and 50-60% chance to break the high temp
record of 65 degrees on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday we`ll still
be warm, but the records are just out of reach. Temps aside, winds
will stay light (<20 mph) through all of next week.

There are still signs that the storm door may be opening back up
again after next weekend. The ensembles have delayed the start time
of the first wave by a few days, somewhere around the 15th-17th.
That far out it`s still "wait and see", but the fact that they`re
showing something is encouraging at least. We`ll have more
details on this later in the week.
