.DISCUSSION...

Notable weather is absent for the next few days as high pressure
induces a warming and drying trend for the Sierra and western
Nevada. Daytime highs extend into the 90s for western Nevada by
midweek with peak temperatures on Thursday. Sierra communities warm
into the mid 80s by Wednesday-Thursday while low chances (10-15%) of
showers and storms arise for the Eastern Sierra. Shower potential
has trended downward for midweek with the influx of dry southwest
flow looking more probable.

Ensemble clusters are more in line than yesterday`s. The trough
slated to push into the Pacific Northwest drops southward enough to
incur some stronger west, southwest flow and breezy to windy
conditions for Thursday marching into the weekend. Plan on the start
of a cooling trend by Friday into the weekend along with more breezy
conditions.
