.DISCUSSION...

Afternoon breezes will amplify today, bringing widespread gusts
of 25-30 mph this afternoon. Localized areas across northern
Washoe County could see gusts to 35 mph. This is resulting from a
weak shortwave that is brushing through the northwestern Nevada
region, especially northern Washoe County. Due to the gusty
breezes and afternoon relative humidity only ranging 10-15% across
northwestern Nevada, elevated fire weather conditions are
expected this afternoon. Take care to prevent a spark today. Some
convection-allowing models are depicting isolated showers may
appear over Mono or Mineral County late this afternoon. Chances
are less than 5%, but there could be a stray shower that blooms
over the Sierra. Keep that in mind if you are out recreating, as
gusty winds may accompany any shower that forms.

Tomorrow, another pleasant summer day is in the works. While
temperatures remain near seasonal averages, typical afternoon
breezes return. Friday into the weekend, we will see a slow, steady
increase in temperatures that will bring the western Nevada valleys
back into the mid to upper 90s. In fact this warm air will remain
through early July. Once we move the calendar into July, we will see
another opportunity for showers and storms to return to the region.
Until then, things will be dry, warm and breezy each afternoon.
