.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.
