For over 20 years I have been a weather watcher from my home in Galena Forest located in the Carson Range of the Sierra Nevada mountains near Reno, Nevada. My interest in the weather dates back to my childhood when I am told I would pretend to be the TV weatherman. My years of flying as an instrument rated pilot increased my interest since many times correct weather interpretation kept my family and me alive. As an avid skier I am always interested in the storms that produce the heaven like powder snow we love to play in.

Over the years I found there are lots of folks interested in the same thing. Long range forecasting is my main interest, and it seems that local weather people are very hesitant to forecast very long range ( more than five days). Hence, I decided to begin sending an email to my friends who shared the common interest or just wanted to plan sick days off around big snow dumps. Updates are posted every few days as weather predictions change during the active weather months. From June through September updates are seldom. Daily updates are found on our weather station site noted below. - Randy York

A mostly to partly cloudy day with mild temperatures and some afternoon winds.

You can get a detailed short term forecast on my weather station page. Click "Today's weather" below.

A Look Ahead :

A fantastic weekend of weather is ahead with Reno in the mid to high 70's both days. Expect a lot of sunshine and some afternoon Zephyr winds both days. Monday will be a transitional day with increasing clouds and wind, but still warm.

Looks like we may see some rain in the valleys and snow in the mountains with much cooler temperatures mid week, Tuesday through Thursday. Clearing and warming up Friday and another nice weekend.
