KEY MESSAGES

* Dry and mild weather with periods of breezy winds are expected through early next week.

* A wetter and windier pattern remains favored to arrive around and after Veteran's Day.

DISCUSSION

Dry and mild weather is expected through early next week as high pressure keeps the storm track directed north of the region. Daytime highs today and Friday will be in the upper 50s and 60s -- on par for early November -- before warming into the 60s to near 70F this weekend. Hazy skies are likely each morning with stout inversions in place, especially near any prescribed burns. A couple of trough passages to the north will encourage a return of breezy afternoon winds this weekend into early next week, but winds aren't expected to be atypically strong. Otherwise, this weekend is shaping up to be a favorable one to enjoy outdoor activities so be sure to take advantage!

Ensembles remain keen on pattern change around the middle of next week as the storm track dips southward, but are wavering on the onset of a more unsettled weather pattern. The potential for gusty winds and showers begin to increase in earnest after Veteran's Day, which is about a day later than what prior guidance suggested. Nevertheless, the signal for wetter and windier weather for the end of next week into the following weekend has been consistent, so worth keeping in mind if you have any travel or outdoor activities planned during that timeframe.

AVIATION

VFR conditions are expected today for area TAF sites with skies clearing up a bit through the day. Low confidence on a return of FZFG to the Northern Sierra valleys tonight due to drier weather, but will monitor conditions and amend TAFs if needed. Elsewhere, hazy skies may impact slantwise visibilities each morning. -078/Salas
