.DISCUSSION...

There is still not much to discuss in the forecast. It appears
that autumn is on an extended vacation. Outside of a weak trough
passage on Friday, high pressure will remain in control across the
western US through the 7-day forecast period. High and low
temperatures into the weekend will be around 10-15 degrees above
normal. Daily record high temperatures look likely (>80%) on
Wednesday in the Reno area, with a forecasted high temperature of
92 degrees. There is then around a 50% chance of a record high in
Reno on Thursday with a forecasted high of 91 degrees. Wednesday
looks to be the warmest day of the next seven, with very slight
cooling into the weekend. Winds will be generally light across the
region today through Thursday. But with the passage of the
aforementioned trough on Friday, west to southwest winds will kick
up along the eastern Sierra crests and western NV. It will remain
very dry with no chances of precipitation through the entire
week. -McKellar

.AVIATION...

VFR conditions will continue today and tomorrow. Light westerly
winds are expected this afternoon and on Wednesday. Lofted smoke
and surface haze may be seen tomorrow afternoon across the region
from nearby wildfires, causing slantwise VIS concerns.
