511 FXUS65 KREV 071904 AFDREV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 1204 PM PDT Mon Sep 7 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... * Warmer and drier trend for this week with typical afternoon breezes. * Low shower and thunderstorm chances along the Eastern Sierra on Wednesday. * Breezy conditions arrive Thursday with cooler temperatures trending for the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Notable weather is absent for the next few days as high pressure induces a warming and drying trend for the Sierra and western Nevada. Daytime highs extend into the 90s for western Nevada by midweek with peak temperatures on Thursday. Sierra communities warm into the mid 80s by Wednesday-Thursday while low chances (10-15%) of showers and storms arise for the Eastern Sierra. Shower potential has trended downward for midweek with the influx of dry southwest flow looking more probable. Ensemble clusters are more in line than yesterday`s. The trough slated to push into the Pacific Northwest drops southward enough to incur some stronger west, southwest flow and breezy to windy conditions for Thursday marching into the weekend. Plan on the start of a cooling trend by Friday into the weekend along with more breezy conditions. -Edan && .AVIATION... Plan on VFR conditions for all terminals through Tuesday. Winds will be lighter today with more typical afternoon wind gusts of 10-15 kts for area terminals 21-22z Monday through 03-04z Tuesday.
