KEY MESSAGES

* A warming trend continues through much of the next week, with above average temperatures.

* Dry conditions with typical afternoon breezes expected through much of the week.

* Slightly increased breezes expected Monday and Tuesday afternoons.

DISCUSSION

* The only thing to talk about weather-wise this week is a moisture starved frontal passage late Monday into Tuesday. We'll have an uptick in west to southwest winds on Monday, which will become northwest on Tuesday. Wind gusts between 25-30 mph will become likely (60%+), with locally higher gusts to 40-45 mph on the ridges. The windiest places during this timeframe look to be eastern Lassen, northern Washoe, and Mineral counties. Outside the brief uptick in winds, temperatures will cool on Tuesday to the lowest readings of the week. However, temperatures are still upwards of 5-10 degrees above average.

* After this weak front/short wave trough passing through Monday and Tuesday, a ridge of high pressure will strengthen over the eastern Pacific/western US all the way into next week. Our temperatures by Thursday will soar into the mid to upper 70s in western NV, and mid to upper 60s for many eastern Sierra communities. These temperatures are more normal for late May. By next Sunday and Monday, current blended guidance has likely (70%+) chances for temperatures of at least 80 degrees for much of western NV, eastern Lassen, and lower elevations of Mono County. This will make it feel more like early to mid-June. Enjoy the warm weather ahead! -McKellar
