Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Incline Village, NV

DISCUSSION

* Current radar imagery is picking up some light signatures this morning/early afternoon in Alpine, northern Mono, and Mineral counties. But, looking at local camera networks and judging by the morning sounding, not much of this is hitting the ground.
The only weather feature that is persistent is low stratus and freezing fog in Mono Lake, which will continue on Monday. We'll also keep the morning freezing fog in Martis Valley and around Lake Crowley. The dry, benign pattern with persistent strong inversions will continue through mid-week.

* By late Wednesday night into Thursday morning an upper level trough moves into the region, breaking down the persistent ridge that has been over the area for the last few weeks. Some models and ensembles are hinting at a cut off low moving onshore either in central CA or southern CA by Thursday into Friday. Depending on location of the cutoff low (if it evens forms) we are open to a possible (~10-15%) chance for wrap around precipitation in Mono County Thursday afternoon and evening. Confidence in this cut off low feature is low at the moment. By Friday night into next weekend, the model ensembles once again reintroduce a ridge into the western US. High temperatures this upcoming week are 5-10 degrees above average with near average low temperatures.
With the passage of the upper level trough, winds may start to pickup on Friday. This will hopefully end the inversions that are keeping the air quality gross. -McKellar

AVIATION

VFR conditions and light surface winds persist for area TAF sites going through the holiday weekend. The only exception is at KTRK where patchy and mainly shallow FZFG is expected through around 15Z Monday. Haze in W.NV may lead to reduced slantwise visibilities.
Area cloud cover this afternoon will diminish tonight. -McKellar
