Local Weather Forecast

Sunny with strong inversions in the valleys. Look for Reno to reach 35° and Galena 42° today. High pressure has built in which will bring inversions to the valleys this week. Look for continued cold in valley locations and warming above 6000 ft., in mountains and foothills. Expect poor air quality in the valleys this week with the valleys in trapped cold air and the higher elevations warm. Freezing fog will be a concern as well as some melt begins in the snow cover. Friday we may see some increased winds which should break the inversion as a system passes to our North. High pressure and inversions will return over the weekend, but temperatures should improve in the valley locations. Next system that will impact our weather around 12/20. Looks to be another inside slider which will bring cold arctic air and little in the way of precipitation like the last storm. Let's hope for a more western trajectory which will improve moisture content.
