763 FXUS65 KREV 110850 AFDREV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 150 AM PDT Fri Apr 11 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... * Breezy winds expected today with a chance of light rain in NE California and far NW Nevada tonight into Saturday morning. * Temperatures cool to near normal this weekend before another notable warm-up occurs early next week. * Dry weather will likely prevail next week, but a few showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible Tuesday and Wednesday. && .DISCUSSION... High pressure aloft will depart eastward today in concert with an approaching upper trough from the eastern Pacific. Winds will be breezy this afternoon across lower elevations, including area lakes where boating conditions may deteriorate. Ridgetop gusts will increase to 50-60 mph this afternoon, continuing into Saturday morning before subsiding. While this trough will be mostly dry, latest Hi-Res ensembles paint a 30% chance of light rain showers in Lassen and far N Washoe County late tonight into early Saturday morning. Temperatures will steadily cool through Sunday, becoming more typical of mid-April as daytime highs reach the 60s to low 70s this weekend. Another warm-up is in store early next week as high pressure rebuilds across the western states. Temperatures will likely become well above average once again as daytime highs are poised to reach the upper 60s in the Sierra and upper 70s to low 80s in western Nevada. While this pattern favors dry weather, a cut-off low to our south may come close enough to produce showers and perhaps a stray thunderstorm Tuesday and Wednesday. Confidence remains low on this scenario as cut-off lows tend to be tricky to forecast, especially at this range. -Salas && .AVIATION... The main weather concern will be the potential for fog this morning at KTRK, particularly between the 10-15Z timeframe. Should fog develop, brief IFR/LIFR conditions could occur at KTRK through daybreak. However, this fog is less likely to form with more widespread mid-high level cloud cover overhead. Otherwise, VFR conditions prevail today with increased west winds (gusts of 20-25 kts at regional terminals) in the afternoon. LLWS and light to moderate mountain wave turbulence will be possible at Sierra terminals this evening into early Saturday morning when FL100 winds strengthen to 25-35 kts. -Salas && .REV Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
