AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
325 AM PDT SAT JUN 10 2006

.SYNOPSIS...PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES TODAY AND TONIGHT OVER THE
GREAT BASIN. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHING THE CALIFORNIA COAST
WILL BRING THE RETURNED THREAT OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO MAINLY NORTHWEST NEVADA BEGINNING SUNDAY...AND
LASTING THROUGH MOST OF NEXT WEEK.
&&

.SHORT TERM...DRY AIR NEAR THE SURFACE ADVECTS IN FROM THE SOUTH AS
NEAR ZONAL FLOW ALOFT BRINGS UPPER AND MID LEVEL CLOUDS INTO THE
GREAT BASIN TODAY. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES DOWN THE WEST COAST LATE
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY CREATING INSTABILITY IN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT OVER THE REGION. HAVE EXPANDED THE AREA OF ISOLATED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS A LITTLE TO THE SOUTHEAST FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON. IN
RESPONSE TO LOWERING SURFACE RH/S AND GUSTY AFTERNOON WINDS...HAVE
ISSUED A RED FLAG WARNING FROM NOON TO 9PM PST SUNDAY ACROSS FIRE
WEATHER ZONES 455 AND 457...WHITE PINE AND NORTHERN NYE COUNTIES.
DUE TO CONTINUED PATTERN OF LOW RH/S AND GUSTY WINDS...HAVE ALSO
ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR MONDAY FOR THOSE SAME ZONES ALONG
WITH ZONE 452...ELKO COUNTY. ROOD

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. GOOD AGREEMENT IN NAM/GFS
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. BOTH SEEM EQUIVALENT IN DETERMINING DEPTH OF
TROUGH OF CA COAST AND BOTH INDICATED DIFFLUENCE ALOFT OVER WESTERN
LKN CWFA BEGINNING TO SET UP. BUT BY MONDAY...POOR AGREEMENT IS
HIGHLY EVIDENT. GFS ATTAINS MORE OF A POS TILT MONDAY WITH JET ENERGY
BALANCED...INDICATING NO IMMEDIATE EASTERLY SHIFT BUT PERHAPS AT MAX
DEPTH. NAM DISPLAYS NEARLY ZERO TILT WITH STRONGER JET ENERGY ON
EAST SIDE STRETCHING ACROSS SOUTHERN CA INTO SW NV. CANNOT
ASCERTAIN ATTM AS TO WHICH MODEL WILL BE THE WINNER HOWEVER A BLEND
IS PROBABLY APPROPRIATE ATTM. THE MOST NOTABLE MODEL DISCREPANCY
IS THE STRONG FROPA NAM INTRODUCES MONDAY NIGHT WITH UPPER LOW
EJECTION WHILE GFS HOLDS TROUGH EJECTION UNTIL WEDNESDAY. THEREFORE
HAVE NOT RIPPED OUT TS WORDING IN ANY GIVEN PERIOD. AFTERNOON
DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED EACH DAY WITH EMPHASIS
ON NW NV. TEMPS LOOK GOOD ALTHOUGH WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SPIKE
NEAR 90 OVER DRIER SE PORTION OF CWFA UNDER WESTERN SIDE OF
AMPLIFYING RIDGE...IF GFS SOLUTION PROVES OUT. GFS IS IN GENERAL
AGREEMENT WITH THE ECMWF AND UKMET ALTHOUGH BOTH OF THE LATTER MODELS
INDICATE A LITTLE MORE POS TILTING. LW &&
