Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Sunnyside-Tahoe City, CA

DISCUSSION

Salutations, weather enthusiasts! This meteorologist is here to inform you of the not-so-exciting weather that we can expect this weekend. Afternoon high temperatures will continue to trend well above normal (10+ degrees) with highs in the low 60s and 50s for valleys and Sierra communities, respectively. We can owe this to a strong ridge over the western states.

Per usual with this well-esteemed weather pattern, the trend of dry conditions, light winds, and valley inversions will prevail.
Localized air quality concerns may arise in areas near prescribed burns. For current air quality readings, visit fire.airnow.gov.

Normally, this high pressure ridge would allow for clearing skies.
A brief shortwave is currently approaching the Pacific NW, bringing with it increased cloud cover over northern CA and, soon, the Great Basin. This will inhibit fog development for our dear Sierra valleys. Additionally, we will see increased winds along ridgetops Sunday, as well as the slight (<10%) chance for light showers from the Tahoe Basin and northward. However, model runs continue to trend drier so odds for said showers have further dwindled.

Yours truly, -Giralte

AVIATION

VFR conditions and light winds continue through Saturday. Haze will linger around KRNO and possibly KTRK and KCXP through this weekend. Mid-high level clouds will also stay over our area through Sunday afternoon.
