NOAA RENO, NV FORECAST DISCUSSION EXCERPTS:
.SYNOPSIS...
Today will be the coolest day of the past three months as dry
north flow prevails, followed by a modest warmup for the weekend.
A stronger cold front will bring increased winds Monday followed
by below average temperatures for much of next week and a chance
for showers. Light snow is possible in higher elevations, while
low temperatures may dip to near freezing in some lower valleys.
.LONG TERM...Week of September 18th...
Cooler and unsettled pattern will develop across the west for next
week. This will be caused by low pressure setting up over the
Canadian Rockies with 2 or 3 systems rotating through the Sierra and
western Nevada. Expect periods of gusty winds with each passing
system, autumn like temperatures and a threat for rain and mountain
snow.
Additional systems for Wednesday-early Thursday and possibly Friday will bring gusty winds and perhaps a better chance for showers. Snow level could dip down below 7000 feet at times, which may leave a light accumulation of snow on mountain peaks.
