.DISCUSSION...

Temperatures today and tomorrow drop to near normal, due to two
weak low pressure systems impacting the area. The low today will
move along the OR border, bringing enhanced gusty winds areawide.
With high-res model guidance, wind gusts have dropped a bit;
there is a 20-50% chance of wind gusts greater than 45 mph.
Impacts today will include difficult travel for high profile
vehicles (especially in wind prone locations such as US-395 along
Washoe Lake and US-95 along Walker Lake), choppy lake waters,
hazardous boating conditions on Lake Tahoe and Pyramid Lake, as
well as blowing dust in W NV Basin and Range.

Winds die down a bit Friday, with gusts up to 25 mph, primarily
for W NV Basin and Range. However, precipitation chances increase
Friday with showers and a stray thunderstorm or two possible along
the OR border. Model upper air soundings show that the surface
level is relatively dry, though, so any showers that do pop up
may struggle to have any rain hit the ground.

Speaking of dry conditions, critical fire weather will be seen
across W NV Basin and Range today due to low RHs and those
aforementioned gusty winds. For more details, check out the fire
weather discussion below.

The holiday weekend looks to be warm and dry, due to high pressure
settling in to the north. Afternoon highs will be the highest on
Sunday, with highs pushing the upper 80s to low 90s for valleys
and W NV Basin and Range. Sierra communities can expect highs in
the 60s and 70s. Rivers and streams will look appetizing to cool
off in due to high Sierra snowmelt, but said rivers and streams
will be running fast and cold. Even limited water exposure can
pose the risk of hypothermia. Stay safe this weekend!

.AVIATION...

Widespread VFR conditions through the weekend with increased wind
gusts of up to 30 kts for all terminals today. Additionally,
periods of light LLWS and mountain wave turbulence will be
possible. Winds Friday will be lighter with gusts up to 20 kts
with zephyr-like winds returning Saturday for the holiday weekend.

.FIRE WEATHER...

Wind gusts of 30-40 mph combined with min RHs of 7-15% across
much of western NV will produce elevated to locally critical fire
weather conditions for 6-9 hours this afternoon.

Said critical fire weather conditions retreat Friday and into the
weekend as gusty winds subside. However, min RHs will continue to
be in the teens for W NV valleys and the mid 20s for Sierra
communities. Thus, those celebrating the holiday outdoors this
weekend are encouraged to pay extra attention to any activities
that may cause fires. This includes camp fires, sparklers,
dragging trailer chains, and target shooting.
