... Holiday weekend brings changing weather...

This Labor Day weekend will be marked by drastically changing
weather. Very warm temperatures Friday... about 5 to 10 degrees
above normal... and light winds will give way to temperatures falling
to 10 to 15 degrees below normal by Sunday afternoon and evening.

A strong cold front will sweep south through northern California
and Nevada by Sunday afternoon. Ahead of this front gusty west to
southwest winds are likely north of Highway 50 on Saturday. These
gusty winds... in excess of 35 mph... will result in hazardous
boating conditions on area lakes from the Tahoe basin north and on
Pyramid Lake. Temperatures Saturday will climb into the 90s.

As the front sweeps south late Saturday night and early Sunday the
strongest winds will shift to south of Highway 50 for Sunday.
Temperatures north of the front will fall dramatically Sunday...
with highs in many areas only reaching the lower to mid 70s. Some
areas in the Sierra north of the Tahoe basin will struggle to
climb out of the 60s for highs. Farther south temperatures will
climb into the 80s... but gusty southwest to west winds in excess
of 40 mph will develop. These winds will produce hazardous
boating conditions from the Tahoe basin south through the Sierra
and east to Walker Lake.

While the wind will subside Monday... temperatures will remain
well below normal. Highs will average in the 70s for most areas
with some Sierra locations once again struggling to rise out of
the 60s.

Stay tuned for further updates to this weekends Holiday weather...
including any advisories... watches or warnings that may be
needed.
