KEY MESSAGES

* Dry conditions with above average afternoon highs will persist through the upcoming week.

* A weak weather system will bring increased breezes for northeast CA, northwest NV, and Sierra ridges through this afternoon.

* High pressure then returns for much of next week with light winds and valley inversions prevailing.

DISCUSSION

The frontal boundary bringing increased winds this morning through the early afternoon can currently be seen traversing California via latest satellite water vapor imagery. Winds are expected to increase along Sierra ridgelines, and across portions of NE CA and northern Washoe county. Ridgetop gusts may exceed 50 mph at times, with gusts up to 30 mph for the remaining aforementioned areas.

Once this system moves out of the area, expect a return of valley inversions, mild daytime highs, light winds, and mostly sunny skies through much of the work week. This will also bring the return of morning Sierra freezing fog for fog-prone valleys, with the best likelihood by Tuesday morning.

AVIATION

Increased W/SW ridgetop gusts this morning through at least 20Z will bring localized areas of LLWS and mountain wave turbulence along the Sierra crest. Other than this, expect light winds and VFR conditions with lingering upper level cloud cover through today. FZFG may redevelop for KTRK after 06Z tonight, as skies clear, though confidence remains low.
