AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
245 AM PDT MON APR 3 2006

.SYNOPSIS...A SERIES OF WEATHER DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE THROUGH THE
GREAT BASIN THIS WEEK BRINGING PERIODS OF RAIN AND SNOW...ALONG WITH
ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS AND BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS. &&

SHORT TERM...GOOD 700MB THETA-E RIDGE OF 318K BUILDS UP ORIENTED
N/S THROUGH CENTER OF CWA THIS AFTERNOON UNDER SOUTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT. COMBINED WITH 700MB OMEGA VALUES CLIMBING INTO THE TEENS...
CAPE OF 400J/KG...LI/S OF -2C...AND CONVERGING 850MB WINDS AS A
SURFACE LOW CENTERED OVER NORTHERN LANDER COUNTY DEEPENS...THE TABLE
SETS FOR AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS.
IF CLOUD COVER DOES NOT CUT OFF SURFACE HEATING SHOULD SEE SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS FOR EASTERN HUMBOLDT COUNTY EARLY AFTERNOON...
SPREADING EAST THROUGH LANDER...EUREKA...AND ELKO COUNTIES LATE
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. FORECAST SOUNDINGS OVER THE CWA SHOW
TALL THIN AREAS OF CAPE...GENERALLY FROM AROUND 10K FT UP TO 30K
FT...WHICH MAY AID HAIL GROWTH TO PEA SIZE OR LARGER. WITH THE
SURFACE LOW SETTING UP OVER CENTER OF NORTHERN NEVADA COMBINED WITH
SOUTHERLY WINDS ALOFT MIXING TOWARD THE SURFACE...WILL BE ISSUING A
WIND ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS N NYE AND S LANDER/EUREKA
COUNTIES.

SIMILAR DYNAMICS SHAPE UP TUESDAY ALONG WITH A COOL FRONTAL BOUNDARY
MOVING THROUGH THE CWA WHICH WILL MARK THE BEGINNING OF SOME
MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY PRECIPITATION AS THE LF QUAD OF THE UPPER
LEVEL JET SLOWLY MOVES OVER THE GREAT BASIN. WILL ALSO ISSUE A WIND
ADVISORY FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS N NYE...WHITE PINE...AND
SOUTHERN LANDER AND EUREKA COUNTIES. COLD AIR ADVECTION TUESDAY WILL
LOWER BOTH MAX AND MIN TEMPS GENERALLY 6-12 DEGS FROM TUESDAY TO
WEDNESDAY. SNOW LEVELS WILL LOWER TO NEAR VALLEY FLOORS BY EARLY
WEDNESDAY AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS NEVADA. HOWEVER...AT
THE SAME TIME...THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY BEGINS TO SPLIT WITH A CLOSED
LOW STARTING TO FORM OVER NE NEVADA WHICH WILL HELP CONTINUE PRECIP
OVER NE NEVADA INTO LATE WEDNESDAY. WITH ALL THIS COULD SEE THE NEED
FOR SNOW ADVISORIES OVER MUCH OF THE CWA WEDNESDAY...WITH
POTENTIALLY HEAVY SNOW WARNING CRITERIA BEING MET ACROSS NORTHERN
NEVADA IF THE PATTERN REMAINS AS PROGGED.

THE HUMBOLDT RIVER FROM PALISADE WEST TO BATTLE MOUNTAIN HAS BEEN
NEAR OR ABOVE MONITORING STAGE FOR THE PAST COUPLE DAYS. WILL KEEP
THE FLOOD WATCH GOING FOR THIS AREA AS MODELS HAVE BEEN PRETTY
CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL PATTERN AND HIGH QPF AMOUNTS TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. UPDATED RIVER FORECASTS DUE OUT MONDAY MAY
NECESSITATE ADDITIONAL RIVER STATEMENTS FOR SMALL STREAM AND RIVER
RISES ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA. ROOD

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO
SHOW DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH THURSDAY AND WHILE PATTERN
SIMILARITIES EXIST AFTER THURSDAY...NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO CHANGE
MUCH IN THE ZONE PACKAGE. SHORTWAVE RIDGING WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT EAST
TOWARDS NV WEDNESDAY NIGHT FORCING AXIS OF MEAN TROUGH QUICKLY OVER
UT. POPS WILL REMAIN FAIRLY HIGH WEDNESDAY EVENING AND PROBABLY
TAPER OFF AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH SPEED OF SYSTEM...HOWEVER REFRAINED
FROM SPLITTING OVERNIGHT PERIOD ATTM. SFC LOW OVER WYOMING WILL GIVE
GOOD WRAPAROUND MOISTURE FOR NE NV SO INCREASED POPS OVER NE CWFA
WED NIGHT. POTENTIAL FOR ADVISORY AMOUNTS OF SNOW OVER NORTHERN NV
WED NIGHT AS WELL...WHICH WOULD PROBABLY BE EXTENSION OF WEDNESDAY
EVENT. NOT MUCH WEATHER-WISE THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT AS
SHORT WAVE PROGRESSIVE RIDGE MOVES THROUGH KEEPING POPS MORE NORTH.
AS MENTIONED EARLIER...GENERAL PATTERN AGREEMENT MODEL TO MODEL
EXISTS AFTER THURSDAY HOWEVER TIMING WILL BE DIFFICULT AS UPPER LOW
SPINS OFF CA COAST THROWING MULTIPLE EPISODES OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY AT
THE GREAT BASIN. AS IS...NEXT SYSTEM LOOKS IMPRESSIVE AS WELL ON
FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT WITH SNOW ADVISORY AMOUNTS POSSIBLE UP
NORTH...BUT AGAIN...FLOW IS QUICKER WITH SHALLOW MEAN TROUGH. ALSO
WILL PROBABLY BE SOME VALLEY RAIN FOR FRIDAY TURNING TO SNOW AT
LOWEST ELEVATIONS FRIDAY NIGHT. WOULD BE MOST CONCERNED FOR ADVISORY
AMOUNTS OVER N ELKO COUNTY. THIS SHORTWAVE PROMISES TO BE FOLLOWED
BY ANOTHER AGGRESSIVE WAVE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT WHICH
MAY BRING SUBSTANTIAL PRECIPITATION TO NORTH CENTRAL NEVADA AND THE
RUBY MOUNTAINS. LW
