.KEY MESSAGES...

* Dry weather and above-normal temperatures will continue through
  the middle of next week.

  second half of the week may bring impactful weather to the region
  by next weekend.

.DISCUSSION...through next Thursday.

High pressure will build over the southwest US this weekend,
allowing dry and mild conditions to persist across the region. The
most notable impacts will be increased northerly winds in the lower
Colorado River Valley near Laughlin during the afternoon hours, with
the strongest winds expected Sunday afternoon. Wind speeds may
briefly reach Lake Wind Advisory criteria; however, given their
marginal strength and short duration, no advisory is planned at this
time. Temperatures will remain warm through the middle of next week,
with highs topping out 5 to 10 degrees above normal each day.


Long-term guidance continues to show a strong trough moving into the
West Coast next week. However, the latest guidance also continues to
trend slower with the progression of this system, and discrepancies
remain among the different models regarding when impacts may be seen
in the forecast area. Based on the latest model runs, precipitation
may spread into the Sierra as early as Thursday morning, while the
remainder of the region may not see precipitation until Friday or
Saturday. Given the warm temperatures the region has experienced
recently, most areas will see rainfall, though higher elevations in
the Sierra could see some snowfall.  It is still too early to
estimate rain or snow amounts, so stay tuned to future updates.
