131 FXUS65 KREV 041846 AFDREV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 1146 AM PDT Fri Apr 4 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... * East breezes with seasonable temperatures today, then warming through Sunday. * Quick moving trough brings mountain rain and snow showers along with areawide breezy winds on Monday. * Warming trend continues most of next week, with widespread 70s to near 80s in the valleys, 50s and 60s in the mountains. && .DISCUSSION... A quiet weather period will be in store with seasonable temperatures and breezy east winds through Saturday. Highs will be in the mid-50s across western Nevada (mid 40s Sierra valleys) this afternoon before warming about 10 degrees on Saturday. Additional warming into the low 70s for W.Nevada and near 60s for Sierra valleys are expected for Sunday as light westerly breezes return. A quick moving shortwave trough will push through the region late Sunday into Monday which will begin increasing ridgetop wind gusts to around 80 mph with lower Sierra and western Nevada seeing afternoon wind gusts of 30+ mph. The best chances (40-60%) for precipitation remain in western Lassen County, Surprise Valley, and far northern Washoe County. These areas have around at 40-50% chance for at least 0.10" of liquid. Snow levels remain above 7,000`, so snow impacts are very limited. This trough will also provide about 4-8 degrees of cooling. High pressure will then take hold with the main impact being a steady warming trend with high temperatures returning to the mid and upper 70s by mid-week with mid 60s for Sierra valleys. As the high pressure center shifts eastward by Friday, temperatures will cool back into the lower 70s across western Nevada which could allow for increased westerly breezes by next Friday and Saturday.
