064 FXUS65 KREV 170908 AFDREV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 208 AM PDT Fri Oct 17 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... * Dry and mild weather will prevail over the weekend with breezy winds Sunday afternoon. * Showers are possible in the eastern Sierra south of Tahoe on Tuesday. Otherwise, dry conditions persist into next week. * Unsettled weather may return late next week with impacts to travel and recreation possible. && .DISCUSSION... Transient high pressure will provide dry, quiescent weather and mild temperatures through the weekend. Slow warming through Sunday will yield weekend daytime highs in the mid/upper 60s and mid-70s for Sierra and W NV/NE CA communities, respectively. Weak low pressure will advance across the PacNW on Sunday, dislodging a dry cold front that sweeps through region Sunday night. Winds will become breezy Sunday afternoon in response, especially near the Oregon border where gusts may reach 30-35 mph at times. A few degrees of cooling is expected Monday in the wake of the cold front passage, although will still be on par to a bit above normal for mid- October. The first half of next week will likely be dry and mild as the Pacific storm track remains directed well north of the western states. However, discrete low pressure in the eastern Pacific will lift across southern California Tuesday, supporting a 10-20% chance of showers in Alpine and Mono counties Tuesday afternoon. There is still a convincing signal for a strong storm impacting the region late next week into next weekend with valley rain, heavy Sierra snow, and gusty winds all on the table. It`s still far too early to give details with much confidence, but certainly worth keeping an eye on -- especially for those planning any outdoor activities or travel towards the end of next week. -Salas && .AVIATION... FZFG and IFR/LIFR conditions will be possible at KTRK this morning between 10Z and 16Z. Otherwise, expect widespread VFR conditions and light afternoon breezes. -Salas && .REV Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NV...None. CA...None. && $$
