Pilots:If you're planning on flying to SFO tonight, the forecast is currently looking like gusty winds and light rain which will force us into our southeast plan (landing 19L/R). That will significantly reduce our arrival rate, please plan fuel accordingly (especially hold fuel), and expect some delays at your departure airport. If you're filing standard routes (BDEGA#/DYAMD#/SERFR#), expect ATC re-routes onto southeast plan arrivals (STLER#/ALWYS#/WWAVS#).

If you're planning on flying to RNO tonight, the forecast looks pretty good and should be VMC, however, due to the nature of the small mountainous airspace things can quickly become congested. Please plan fuel accordingly (especially hold fuel), and expect some delays at your departure airport.

A bit of dispatch advice: The weather looks to significantly impact at least SFO and SLC, and high arrival demand could cause holding at all three airports. I'd highly recommend 15-30 minutes hold fuel, some extra contingency, and probably a good alternate you're willing to take if things go sideways (Reno should be VMC, so as long as you have the fuel to hold if needed, no alternate should be needed). I hope everybody has fun tonight!
