KEY MESSAGES

* Dry conditions will persist through the rest of the week as high pressure returns to the area.

* A slow, gradual warming trend into this weekend will bring above average temperatures by Saturday.

* A weak system on Sunday may bring breezy winds and precip chances to NE CA and N NV, but confidence remains low.

DISCUSSION

High pressure is set to move in again and keep us dry and mostly sunny through this weekend. Temperatures increase to near 60 in lower valleys and upwards of 55 in Sierra communities by Saturday. This warm up will be around 10 degrees above normal for this time of year, but not quite record-breaking. Mornings will still be pretty chilly, though. Morning low temps this weekend will be around 30-35 degrees for lower valleys and 25-30 degrees for Sierra valleys.

There looks to be another shortwave trough passing through this Sunday, and we'll likely be on the southern end of the precip. The way the long range models are portraying this system is that it's just one of those brush-by storms where only northern Lassen and Surprise Valley will see precip chances. There's still a lot of variability in the models still this far out, but that's the way this system has been trending.
