KEY MESSAGES

* High pressure overhead will result in dry weather and warmer temperatures this weekend into next week.

* Morning inversions may bring freezing fog concerns to Sierra valleys and air quality concerns to W NV valleys.

DISCUSSION

A warming trend initiates today, with afternoon highs steadily warming through at least mid-next week as high pressure builds over the Pacific Northwest. We will quickly warm to near normal this weekend, with highs 5-10 degrees above normal by mid-next week. This looks like low 50s for W NV and upper 40s for Sierra communities. Cold morning lows will also warm this week, but will remain below freezing for much of the area with upper 20s for W NV and teens in the Sierra.

Light winds will allow valley inversions to set back up, bringing the potential for localized air quality concerns in W NV valleys. Additionally, there is a 40% chance for freezing fog to develop in Sierra valleys, such as the Martis valley, tonight and tomorrow morning.

AVIATION

FZFG and IFR/LIFR conditions overnight and through the morning hours will be the main weather concern, particularly for KTRK. Slantwise visibilities may also be reduced due to W NV valley inversions. Otherwise, expect VFR conditions and light breezes through the weekend.
