.DISCUSSION...

Shower and thunderstorm chances will wane this afternoon as a dry
southwest flow filters into the region ahead of a shortwave trough
off the N.California coast. The exception to this will be along far
southern extents of Mono and Mineral counties this afternoon with
low chances (15-20%) for an isolated shower or storm. 10-20%
precipitation chances will persist in this area through the weekend
along with portions of NE California and far NW Nevada, mainly
north of a Susanville-Gerlach, beginning on Saturday as the
instability axis of the shortwave trough move inland.

While most areas will remain dry, overall we will be looking at a
modest cooling trend with breezy afternoon zephyr winds prevailing.
Expect highs across western Nevada to go from the mid-90s this
afternoon to the upper 80s by Sunday with southwest gusts reaching
around 20-25 mph with up to 30 mph in wind prone spots. Dry
conditions persist next week as we maintain our dry southwest flow.
However, a ridge axis across the four-corners region will slowly
begin to nudge westward which will allow for another warmup to near
or slightly above average by mid-week. Fuentes

.AVIATION...

Areas of afternoon clouds will develop along the southern Sierra this
afternoon and into the weekend with a 15-20% chance of an isolated
shower or storm at KMMH through the weekend.

Otherwise, VFR conditions and dry conditions will prevail today
through this weekend. Typical afternoon breezes are expected with
gusts 20-25 kt at the main terminals through Friday starting
20-21Z and winding down between 03-05Z, except ending a bit
earlier near Tahoe. A slight increase in these afternoon winds is
possible this weekend. Fuentes/MJD
