.DISCUSSION...

Easter Sunday has arrived with tranquil spring weather across the
region. Early morning temperatures were milder than recent days
under clear skies, setting up a comfortable start to outdoor
festivities. This afternoon, expect daytime highs in the upper 60s
to mid 70s for western Nevada valleys, and 60s across Sierra
valleys. A modest increase in west winds gusting 20-30 mph in
exposed locations may ruffle lake surfaces and lightweight
decorations later today, especially across the Tahoe Basin and
Pyramid Lake.

A weak upper disturbance will sweep across northern California and
Nevada this afternoon into the evening. While most locations stay
dry, there`s a slight chance (10-15%) of isolated high-elevation
showers near the Eastern Sierra crest, the Oregon border, and areas
west of Highway 395 in Lassen County. Any activity would be brief
and localized.

Looking into the workweek, minimal change is expected through
Wednesday. Daily highs will remain 5-10 degrees above normal under
mostly sunny skies, with westerly afternoon breezes persisting each
day. Tuesday could bring a secondary uptick in winds and a minor
shower threat across northeast California as another weak shortwave
passes north of the region.

By Thursday into the weekend, confidence increases in a pattern
shift. Ensemble guidance shows a broad upper trough developing over
the Oregon and northern California, likely ushering in cooler
temperatures and a rising chance for showers across the Sierra and
western Nevada. The GEFS and ECMWF-ENS seem to be in good agreement,
so forecast confidence is medium at this point for late this week.
Stay tuned as forecast details are refined in the coming days.

VFR will dominate through Monday across all terminals. Expect light
westerly surface winds today, increasing to gusts of 20-25 kts by
mid to late afternoonstrongest near the Sierra and western Nevada
airports including KTRK, KTVL, and KRNO. FL090 winds strengthen this
afternoon to around 25 kts across western Nevada and northeast CA,
which could bring light to moderate turbulence to these areas.
