SIERRA LAKE TAHOE FORECAST DISCUSSION): One more day of convection before quiet weatehr returns to the region. Moisture and low level instability combined to produce strong to severe thunderstorms and locally heavy rainfall Thursday afternoon and evening across the KREV County Wide Forecast Area. Moisture is still in place across the region and mostly sunny skies and warm surface temperatures will again destabilize the lower atmosphere and help to produce thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. However...the upper level winds have turned to more westerly and this will help to push the convection to the east as the evening progresses. The independence day weekend will be dry with seasonably warm temperatures. Afternoon highs both Saturday and Sunday will be in the middle to upper 90s in Western Nevada with readings in the 80s in the Sierra. Winds could be gusty starting Sunday afternoon as an upper level trough approaches the Northern California Coast.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY: Trough likely to remain over the west until the end of the week. With the main low over the Pacific Northwest...a dry and stable southwest flow would set up over the area. Breezy to windy afternoons and evenings are common during this type of pattern. Temperatures should be near to below normal through the period. Monday and Tuesday look to be the days with the highest winds as a jet segment and wave pass over the northern areas. Gusts 30-45 mph possible with low to very low afternoon humidity despite the cooler temperatures. Models show the flow aloft relaxes a bit for Wednesday and Thursday...but position of low is still favorable for shortwave energy to affect the area and maintain the gusty winds.
