SYNOPSIS
Warm and mostly dry conditions through Thursday, before winter-like weather returns Friday and into the weekend. Afternoon breezes will increase mid-week, with stronger winds Friday-Saturday. Periods of mountain snow and valley rain can be expected Friday evening through Sunday. Additional storms are possible into next week.
DISCUSSION
* High pressure across the Sierra and western NV is forecast to bring our first 70 degree day of the year today. The warm and dry conditions along with the light winds won't last, so be sure to prioritize that springtime sunshine. Very low thunderstorm potential (5-10% chances) for areas along and west of the Sierra crest for this afternoon and Wednesday afternoon. Otherwise, it will be dry with blue skies for much of the region.
* As is tradition for spring the quiet, warm conditions won't linger on very long with a more active weather pattern Friday into the weekend. Typical afternoon breezes will return Wednesday and Thursday, with stronger wind gusts by Friday and Saturday as a cold front barrels through the Sierra and western Nevada. Valley wind gusts will be in the 30 to 40 mph range with wind prone area gusts up to 60 mph possible. Sierra ridge winds will be 80+ mph for the weekend, with potential impacts to backcountry and ski recreation. Ensemble cluster analysis still highlights some timing differences for the cold frontal passage, but overall we can plan on the arrival of much colder and wetter weather to kick off the weekend.
* Bye bye spring, and hello snow! Sierra snow and valley rain returns to the northern Sierra and Tahoe Basin Friday overnight into Saturday. Snow rates will peak late Friday into Saturday morning along the cold front passage. Snow levels will be near 5000 feet by sunrise Saturday. Snow potential slowly migrates southward through Saturday into the eastern Sierra as well. Upper level trough slowly drops south across CA and ushers in colder air and multiple waves of precipitation through Monday morning. Snow amounts will likely result in periods of travel impacts along the Sierra passes, especially Friday night. Keep an eye on the road conditions before you head out for your spring break vacays.
* The unsettled weather is projected to continue with multiple waves of precipitation possible for next week. It's a bit too early to nail down details on the separate waves of rain/snow, but you can plan on it being a bit colder and wetter than the mild conditions early this week.

AVIATION
* Widespread VFR conditions with ideal weather for aviators today.
There may be a few afternoon cumulus buildups this afternoon and Wednesday along and west of the Sierra crest, but very low (5-10%)
chances for thunderstorms.
* Southwesterly surface afternoon breezes return Wednesday and Thursday with wind gusts up 20 kts.
* FL100 winds increase on Friday morning with notably stronger winds by Friday and Saturday afternoons. Periods of mountain snow and valley rain also return with a cold front passage from Friday night into Saturday morning. Unsettled weather will persist through the weekend into early next week.
