.DISCUSSION...

Benign weather prevails this week though it feels more like
November out there with these high temperatures. Afternoon highs
will be in the low to mid 60s areawide through Thursday. We could
even see some record warmth at the Reno Intl` Airport; the best
day will be Tuesday where there is a 75% chance of hitting a
record high of 65F or above. The current forecast Tuesday is 64
degrees.

We`re in the midst of a strong ridging pattern. This will keep
skies clear with minimal clouds. Due to low-level inversions,
expect valley haze (and light fog for valleys around Truckee)
each morning this week before dispersing by the early afternoon
hours.

A pattern change looks to be on the way as early as Monday of next
week. Model guidance has the aforementioned riding pattern
pushing east, which will open up the storm door for low pressure
systems to move in. There is still low confidence on exact timing
and threats, though, as models show varying scenarios.

.AVIATION...

Minimal weather concerns this week as high pressure maintains VFR
conditions and light breezes. Slantwise visibilities may also be
reduced each morning, primarily for W NV sites, due to hazy
skies.
