AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
400 AM PST TUE DEC 27 2005

.SHORT TERM...
LIGHT WAA PRECIP HAS MADE ITS WAY TO THE SIERRA AND WRN NEVADA AS
MOUNTAIN TOP TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN STEADY OR RISING OVER THE LAST
FEW HOURS. EXPECT TEMPERATURES ALOFT TO RISE RATHER RAPIDLY RIGHT
AROUND DAYBREAK AND BRING THE SNOW LEVELS UP JUST AS RAPIDLY. SNOW
LEVELS WILL HOVER AROUND 8000 FEET THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING BUT QPF
IS GENERALLY LIGHT DURING THIS PERIOD SO NO FLOODING IS EXPECTED...
ALTHOUGH SOME HEAVIER SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE AT TIMES.

THINGS GET VERY INTERESTING BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING AS MAIN
PRECIP BAND BEGINS BANKING UP ON THE WRN SLOPES OF THE SIERRA WHEN
THE NEXT POWERFUL TROUGH MOVES ONSHORE. PRECIP RATES WILL INCREASE
DRASTICALLY WHILE SNOW LEVELS LOWER TO AROUND 7000 FEET IN THE
MORNING AND BELOW LAKE LEVEL BY AFTERNOON. LATEST SPENES DISCUSSION
HAS PW VALUES NEARING 2 INCHES IN PLUME OF MOISTURE OVER THE PACIFIC
WHICH WILL COMBINE WITH WELL COUPLED JET AND SURFACE FRONT TO
PRODUCE A PERIOD OF VERY IMPRESSIVE PRECIP RATES. THE MAIN QUESTION
IS WHEN THE SNOW LEVELS LOWER AND HOW MUCH OF THE PRECIP FALLS
BEHIND THE FRONT. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF
PRECIP BOTH PRE AND POST-FRONTAL AND BELIEVE THAT ONCE AGAIN MODELS
ARE NOT GENERATING ENOUGH QPF WITH SUCH A MOST AIRMASS. WILL
CONTINUE WITH WINTER STORM WATCH FOR WIND AND SNOW IN THE SIERRA
ZONES AND HYDRO OUTLOOK TO COVER THE FLOOD POTENTIAL.

IN THE LEESIDE VALLEYS THINGS ARE COMING TOGETHER FOR A GOOD WIND
EVENT WEDNESDAY MORNING AS PRECIP BANKS UP ON THE WRN SLOPES AHEAD
OF THE FRONT. WITH H700 WINDS AROUND 70 KTS IN TIGHT TEMPERATURE
GRADIENT AND MODEL SOUNDINGS HINTING AT A WEAK INVERSION AROUND MTN
TOP LEVEL...EXPECTING A PERIOD OF AT LEAST A FEW HOURS OF GUSTY
WINDS AROUND LATE MORNING. WILL BE ISSUING A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR
RENO AND MINERAL COUNTY ZONES TO COVER THIS THREAT...THE SIERRA
ZONES ARE COVERED BY THE WINTER STORM WATCH. SPILLOVER IS EXPECTED
IN THE RENO AREA IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON WEDNESDAY WHICH WILL BRING A
DECREASE IN THE WINDS. SNOW LEVELS WILL ALSO LOWER CONSIDERABLY AS
THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH WITH THE POSSIBILITY FOR A QUICK INCH OR TWO
OF SNOW TO THE FOOTHILLS IN THE AFT/EVE.

SKIES CLEAR WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH LINGERING SHOWERS AS THE RIDGE
BEGINS TO BUILD BACK INTO THE WEST COAST. THURSDAY LOOKS LIKE A DRY
DAY WITH INVERSION CONDITIONS AS MOUNTAINS WILL WARM FASTER THAN THE
VALLEYS. MOISTURE AND OVER-RUNNING PRECIP MOVE BACK INTO THE SIERRA
THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE NEXT SYSTEM STARTS APPROACHING THE WEST COAST.
JORDAN
&&

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
LITTLE CHANGE TO ONGOING FORECAST. CONFIDENCE CONTINUES VERY HIGH
THAT AT LEAST TWO SYSTEMS WILL BE AFFECTING THE AREA WITH TIMING
CERTAINTY SUFFICIENT TO BUMP POPS TO CATEGORICAL LEVELS AND RAISE
QPF/HIGH ELEVATION SNOW AMOUNTS CONSIDERABLY WITH THE FIRST EVENT
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL ARRIVE SUNDAY
NIGHT/MONDAY. HIGH SNOW LEVELS WILL AGAIN ACCOMPANY THE FIRST SYSTEM
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE EASTERN SIERRA
BASINS NORTHWARD INTO LASSEN COUNTY. THE 00Z GFS QPF AMOUNTS ARE
QUITE IMPRESSIVE (3-4 INCHES FOR A 24 HOURS PERIOD) ALTHOUGH THE 06Z
RUN WAS A BIT LESS THAN THIS(2-3 INCHES) WHICH MIGHT PROVE MORE
RELIABLE GIVEN THE VERY PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THESE WAVES. A FLOOD
POTENTIAL OUTLOOK AND SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT WILL CONTINUE TO
ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL FLOOD ISSUES WITH THESE SYSTEMS. TRAVELERS
THROUGHOUT WESTERN NEVADA AND THE SIERRA SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST
WEATHER INFORMATION DURING THIS BUSY TRAVEL TIME. TEMPERATURES WILL
BE WARMEST FRIDAY AND THEN COOL OVER THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER READINGS
WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. HOHMANN
&&

.AVIATION...
AREAS OF MVFR CONDITIONS DEVELOPING AT THE SIERRA TAF SITES AND
VCNTY KLOL THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON AS BAND OF RAIN/SNOW
DEVELOPS. AT THIS TIME KRNO WILL REMAIN IN PRECIPITATION SHADOW
ALTHOUGH SURROUNDING MOUNTAIN TERRAIN TOWARD TAHOE WILL BE OBSCURED.
LITTLE CHANGE TONIGHT WITH INCREASE IN SOUTH WIND ESPECIALLY AT
KTRK/KTVL TOWARD DAYBREAK WITH GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 30KT. COLD FRONT
AND MORE WIDESPREAD MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR VERY STRONG WINDS PRIOR TO AND DURING FRONTAL PASSAGE.
