THU JAN 15 2015
As of now, ridge off the coast still in control of most of our weather. Only exception is two shortwaves moving thru the PACNW over the weekend (Friday and Sunday). These are brush by systems for N. California and I expect only a slight chance of precipitation from a line north of Susanville and Gerlach. Reno could be effected if that system drops a little farther south on Sunday. I will keep my on this for any changes. For the rest of our area, dry weather and moderate January temperatures thru MLK Day and into next week.
