Temperatures will steadily warm back to near season averages this weekend with overall dry conditions prevailing. Highs this afternoon will warm into the upper 80s this afternoon before returning to low 90s on Sunday. Sierra valleys will warm to the upper 70s to near 80. Afternoon winds will also trend lighter with only a few afternoon clouds developing along the Sierra. The pattern remains quiet into early next week with temperatures remaining around early July averages with dry conditions and late day zephyrs developing each afternoon. However, we could see an increase to our winds mid-week as a closed low positioned off the central California coast begins to move inland. This low could usher in a pronounced dry slot at mid-levels, yielding very dry conditions with poor humidity recoveries and single digit afternoon RH across western Nevada. This combined with the potential for gusty winds around the Wednesday timeframe could produce elevated fire weather concerns. Otherwise we are looking at another heat up next weekend as high temperatures across western Nevada warm to near triple digits once again beginning Friday with Sierra communities heating into the upper 80s. Dry conditions look to continue through next week with typical afternoon breezy conditions prevailing. Fuentes && .AVIATION...
