making sure you have extra food and water on hand, flashlights with 
spare batteries and/or candles in the event of a power outage.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high 
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

Check lake conditions before heading out and be prepared for a 
sudden increase in winds and wave heights. Consider postponing 
boating activities on the lake until a day with less wind.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Reno NV
120 AM PDT Fri May 15 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

* Warm, above-average temperatures through today. Typical westerly
  breezes with low humidity and poor overnight RH recovery continues
  across W.Nevada mid-slopes.

* A series of cold fronts will bring 10-20 degrees of cooling over
  the weekend with gusty north winds and chances for light showers
  along the front on Sunday.

* A warming trend will bring a return of above average
  temperatures for the middle of next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

Today is the final day of our warming trend, with afternoon zephyr
winds up to 25 mph. The drying trend will linger into Saturday, with
limited overnight recoveries ranging 30-40% across western Nevada.

The first of two cold frontal boundaries will
arrive for Saturday, bringing cooler air and increasing winds.
Saturday's high temperatures will range the lower 70s for western
Nevada and mid 60s with northwest gusts reaching up to 25 mph.
Sunday, even colder northerly winds with a secondary frontal
boundary will drop temperatures even further to near 10-15 degrees
below seasonal averages. Wind gusts out of the north will reach up
to 40 mph, with the strongest gusts found south of US 50 and over
Mineral and Mono counties. The uptick in winds and decline in
temperatures will be noticeable to the outdoor enthusiast crowd, and
may bring blowing dust and bumpy flights to travelers as well as
choppy lakes across lakes such as Walker and Topaz lakes.

With the secondary front, rain and snow showers have a 10-20% chance
of developing, with the Basin and Range having the best chances.
Snow levels will drop to around 5500-6000 feet by early Sunday
morning, along with the arrival of a 540mb dam thickness. This
suggests some freezing may be present in elevations above 6000 feet,
mostly for northwestern and north-central Nevada. An even colder
start to Monday morning will be the last we see of the cold fronts,
with warming and drying to resume Monday afternoon. Lows Monday
morning could even dip into the low 20s and upper teens across the
Sierra. HRICH

&&

.AVIATION...

* VFR conditions return to the skies over western Nevada,
  northeastern California and the Sierra. Afternoon gusts to 20
  kts possible today.

* Northerly winds will arrive Saturday, increasing with gusts to
  25 kts Saturday, and up to 50 kts near KHTH on Sunday. Blowing
  dust may reduce surface visibilities on Sunday over KNFL, KLOL,
  and KHTH. Shower and snow chances will be greatest Sunday, with
  the best opportunity over the KLKN area. HRICH
