KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 219 AM PST Thu Nov 6 2025 * Cooler today before a warming trend begins Friday, persisting thru early next week

UPDATE

Issued at 219 AM PST Thu Nov 6 2025

The current forecast remains on track. No significant changes are required.

DISCUSSION

(This afternoon through next Wednesday)

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Cooler temperatures in store today as a result of yesterdays frontal passage. High temperatures will mostly be in the 50s. Isolated and light valley rain and mountain snow showers return this evening along and north of I-80 as modest upper energy passes thru northern Nevada. Any rain accumulation will be light and less than a tenth of an inch. Conditions become dry by Friday afternoon as an upper level ridge builds over the western U.S. This will bring a warming trend thru the weekend with daytime high temperatures returning to the 60s by Sunday. This pattern is expected to persist thru at least Tuesday, when model agreement breaks down and uncertainty increases sharply. The current indication is that another strong trof will break down the ridge late next week, but the timing of this system is still very much in flux.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: High confidence in the formation of an upper level ridge into early next week, but low confidence regarding when and how it will break down by the middle of next week.

AVIATION

VFR conditions expected thru the next 24 hours. Winds will be significantly lighter today and tonight, residing around 10KT or less at all terminals.
