Area forecast discussion, May 10, 1:53 AM PDT, 11 hours 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 153 AM PDT Sat May 10 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... * Very warm temperatures again today will produce minor heat risk concerns and renewed snowmelt runoff, with increased breezes and a few late day showers in west central NV. * A late season storm system will bring stronger winds Sunday and Monday and much cooler conditions through Tuesday, with chances for light mountain snow and valley rain showers. && .DISCUSSION... Yesterday's taste of summer included highs of at least 90 degrees for Fallon and Hawthorne, 87 degrees for Reno--just one degree short of the May 9 record high, and a tied record high of 75 for South Lake Tahoe. * One More Summer-Like Day Today: This afternoon's highs will again peak in the mid-upper 80s in western NV valleys, with a few sites along US-95 again having a shot of touching 90. For Reno, the arrival of slightly cooler 700 mb temperatures when winds mix down today will reduce the potential (only 10-15%) of reaching or exceeding this date's record of 88. Afternoon breezes will kick up with gusts 30-40 mph across northwest and far western NV, producing choppy conditions on Pyramid Lake. While most areas remain dry, a few fast moving showers with a 5-10% chance for thunder could develop across west central mainly east of US-95 from late afternoon into the evening. * Stronger Winds and Much Cooler Sunday-Monday: A potent Pacific storm accompanied by a 130+ knot upper jet will approach the Pacific Northwest coast Sunday and move inland over WA/OR on Monday. This storm's initial and primary impact will be strong wind gusts ramping up Sunday morning and peaking during the afternoon/early evening, with a second round of gusty winds (although not quite as strong in most areas) on Monday. Sunday's peak gusts have a 40-80% chance of surpassing 50 mph across most western NV/eastern Sierra communities, with similar chances for wind prone sites seeing peak gusts of 60+ mph. For higher elevations, these winds will be nearly continuous both days with ridge top gusts 100+ mph at times. Expect plenty of travel and recreation impacts, with patchy blowing dust downwind of deserts and sinks in northwest/west central NV. We'll start to see temperatures tumble especially across northeast CA/northwest NV Sunday, with further cooling Monday as highs drop to the 50s and 60s in most areas, except valleys in Mineral/far SE Mono County should hang on to 70s for one more day. * Showery and Chilly Monday-Tuesday: This storm then digs southward into CA-NV from late Monday through Tuesday. While the gusty winds will keep most areas shadowed out from precip through Monday evening, parts of northeast CA/northwest NV and areas near the Sierra crest will see rain shower/isolated thunder chances increase during the day. The overall best chances for precip will spread across the remainder of the region late Monday night through Tuesday evening. While rainfall amounts will generally be 0.10 inch or less, spotty areas of heavier rainfall (0.25" or more) and/or small hail could occur especially from west central NV southward to Mono County with about a 15-25% chance of t-storms. Snow levels are expected to drop to near 5500 feet in northeast CA, 6000-6500 feet for Tahoe/far western NV and 7500-8000 feet for Mono County, and astern Sierra) Monday, then bottom out near 5500 feet regionwide (and even near 5000 feet at times) by Tuesday morning. Snow is possible on the higher Sierra passes from Monday into Tuesday, but will likely struggle to accumulate on area roads following these recent warm days. Tuesday is looking to be the coldest day of the upcoming week with highs only in the mid 50s-near 60 in lower elevations, and around 50 for Sierra communities--down about 25-30 degrees from this current warmup, so keep those jackets and sweaters handy. * For the remainder of the week, a slow warmup to near mid-May averages (lower 70s western NV/lower 60s Sierra valleys) is anticipated with mainly dry conditions. However, another weak back door type system could limit this warmup and bring light shower chances toward next weekend. MJD && .AVIATION... VFR conditions will prevail at the main terminals through this weekend. However, winds will be on the increase this afternoon leading to mountain wave conditions and isolated LLWS, with surface gusts 25-30 kt and FL100 gusts increasing to near 45 kt. The most significant wind impacts will occur Sunday through Monday evening with widespread turbulence and frequent periods of LLWS. Surface gusts at the main terminals will peak at 40-45 kt Sunday afternoon with 20-40% chance of a few 50+ kt gusts for the terminals near US-395, mainly from the SW but some S-SE rotor winds could occur at times. FL100 wind gusts increase to 65-75 kt Sunday and are likely to exceed 80 kt at times Sunday night- Monday AM. Gusty winds continue Monday, with the prevailing direction becoming more westerly. Precipitation chances return late Monday and may persist into Tuesday night with light snow possible at Sierra terminals and rain showers elsewhere. Winds will diminish during this time frame.
