SIERRA LAKE TAHOE FORECAST DISCUSSION (2:14 AM PDT): FEW CHANGES MADE TO THE SHORT TERM FORECAST AS MODELS REMAIN CONSISTENT IN  KEEPING A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE OVER THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA THROUGH SUNDAY. A GRADUAL WARMING TREND WILL OCCUR THROUGH SUNDAY WITH LIGHT WINDS AND DRY CONDITIONS UNDER THE RIDGE. LOW MIXING HEIGHTS ARE THE MAIN IMPACT IN THE FORECAST FOR THE  SHORT TERM. WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD THROUGH SUNDAY, STRONG VALLEY INVERSIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND RESULTING IN POOR MIXING CONDITIONS FOR ANY PRESCRIBED BURNS. VARIABLE HIGH CLOUDS WILL PASS ACROSS WESTERN NEVADA AND THE SIERRA THROUGH THE  BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. AFTERNOON HIGHS TO REMAIN NEAR NORMAL, MID 40S TO LOW 50S, AND COLD OVERNIGHT LOWS  DUE TO RADIATIONAL COOLING.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY: RIDGE ALONG THE WEST COAST AND STRONG JET IN THE CENTRAL PACIFIC WILL PRODUCE A SPLIT FLOW INTO THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA NEXT WEEK. THIS RAISES UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST AS MODELS STRUGGLE WITH THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY AND MOISTURE SURVIVING THE SPLIT FLOW INTO THE WEST COAST. NO CHANGES TO THE FORECAST, WITH A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW IN THE SIERRA TUESDAY. HOWEVER IF SNOW DOES OCCUR LIQUID AMOUNTS IN THE MODELS ARE LESS THAN 0.25 INCHES, WHICH TRANSLATES TO SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 3 INCHES OR LESS. NEXT SPLITTING SYSTEM MAY REACH THE SIERRA LATE FRIDAY OR SATURDAY, BUT MODEL AGREEMENT IS VERY POOR AND ANY SYSTEM REACHING THE SIERRA WILL BE WEAK. BEYOND THIS WEEK, MODELS HOLD AN UPPER LOW OVER THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS  AND A RIDGE OVER THE WEST COAST THROUGH PRESIDENTS DAY WEEKEND. CERTAINLY NOT A FAVORABLE PATTERN FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW IN THE SIERRA.
