561 FXUS65 KREV 092007 AFDREV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 1207 PM PST Tue Dec 9 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... * Dry weather and near-record warmth expected this week. * Hazy skies and minor reductions in air quality possible each morning across lower urban valleys. * Increased winds and precipitation chances early next week, but confidence remains low. && .DISCUSSION... It`s currently 50F in Reno as of this writing, which coincides with the temperature this time yesterday. We reached a high of 59F yesterday, though the forecasted high today (and record to beat) is 65F. Will we break the record? To be determined! Unseasonably warm temperatures with clear skies and hazy mornings will continue this week with highs in the low to mid 60s across much of the area. This is due to the strengthening of the high pressure ridge over the Pacific NW this week. Just when that high pressure bubble breaks or pushes further east is yet to be determined as models have become even more muddy on the details for early next week. The timing, placement, and intensity of a low pressure system has yet to be determined by the models for next week. The NBM, though, is currently highlighting a less than 20% chance for showers along the Sierra and NE CA Monday. It still feels like transition season, so take those longer range forecasts with a hefty grain of salt. -Giralte && .AVIATION... VFR conditions expected through the remainder of the week with light breezes. W NV valley haze may produce reductions in slantwise visibilities for KRNO/KCXP/KMEV. Patchy FZFG at KTRK is expected each morning this week, mainly between 10-16Z. -Giralte && .REV Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NV...None. CA...None. && $$
