Summary:

Sunny weather with highs in the 60's will continue through the weekend and into early next week.  We may see a system bring cooler weather and some precip next Wednesday and again Easter weekend.

Details:

The warm weather continues through the weekend.  The ridge will shift North by the weekend with low pressure moving into Southern CA.  That may generate some showers in the Sierra, but it looks like any precip will stay to our South.

The ridge builds back in Sunday into Monday.  Then the ridge breaks down as a trough moves into the Pacific NW by next Tuesday and then tries to dig further South Wednesday into Thursday.  The models this morning are starting to show the possibility of cooler air and some precip next Wednesday Thursday.  The Canadian model is the most bullish with the deepest trough and most precip for CA.

We will have to keep watching how the pattern develops for the middle of next week.  

Long-Range:

The ridge off the coast next week looks like it may retrograde further West as we approach Easter weekend which is the last weekend for most ski resorts.  The models are showing a large trough dropping down off the West Coast for that weekend.  This is 10 days out but something to watch.  If the trough sets up close enough to the West Coast we could have a snowy final weekend to the season.

In Other News:

March saw 64% of average precip in the Tahoe Basin bringing us to 65% of average for the water year.  Temperatures for the month averaged 1.7 degrees below average as reported at the Truckee airport.  Snow pack to end the month was around 40% of average.  The ski resorts are around 57% of average for the season up top.

Stay tuned...BA
