National Weather Service Reno NV
841 AM PST Sun Feb 23 2025

.UPDATE...

Quick update sent this morning to issue a Wind Advisory Monday
through Monday night for the Surprise Valley and far northwest
NV, and Lake Wind Advisories Monday morning-evening for both
Tahoe and Pyramid Lake. The upward trend for the winds in these
areas noted overnight was maintained with the latest guidance.

Farther south along the US-395 corridor from Lassen County
southward to Reno-Carson City, we could see a shorter period of
wind gusts around 55 mph in wind prone areas Monday afternoon, but
overall the strongest winds look to remain farther north with the
main trough passage across southern Oregon occurring Monday
evening-night. MJD

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /issued 105 AM PST Sun Feb 23 2025/

SYNOPSIS...

* Periods of light showers expected through Monday with strong,
  gusty winds Monday.

* Unseasonable warmth will continue this week.

* A more unsettled weather pattern may emerge next weekend through
  the first week of March.

DISCUSSION...

Current radar imagery shows light showers over portions of NE CA.
Those showers will continue to move east through this afternoon,
but will primarily stay north of South Lake Tahoe. Snow levels
remain above 7500 feet but a couple flurries along the highest
Sierra peaks can`t be ruled out. A brief lull late tonight will
give way to more light showers Monday. With both of these systems,
though, little to no rain/snow accumulations are expected.

The main impact Monday will be widespread gusty winds. Model
members have trended up, with a 75% chance of max wind gusts
exceeding 50 mph in areas of N Washoe county and NE CA. Wind prone
areas will likely see gusts upwards of 50 mph while ridgetops
will see gusts from 65-85 mph, with the strongest gusts north of
Tioga Pass. Expect difficult driving for high profile vehicles as
well as bumpy flights and recreational impacts. Additionally,
ensure you tie down any loose outdoor furniture or objects.

Spring-like temperatures reminiscent of April will stick around
this week with a 10-20% chance of showers along the Sierra
Thursday. Looking further out, the storm door is open for another
storm system; the Climate Prediction Center shows cooler
temperatures and wetter conditions for our area for the first full
week of March.
