945 PM PDT SUN APR 16 2006

.SYNOPSIS...RAIN WILL CHANGE TO SNOW OVERNIGHT WITH SNOW SHOWERS
CONTINUING THROUGH MONDAY. TEMPERATURES MONDAY WILL BE CHILLY. A
WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN TUESDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY.
ANOTHER WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS FRIDAY THROUGH
SUNDAY. &&

.UPDATE...SFC FRONT CONTINUING TO SLOWLY PUSH SOUTH AND EAST WITH
BOUNDARY RIGHT ALONG HIGHWAY 50 CORRIDOR AT THIS HOUR AS MAIN UPPER
TROUGH PUSHES THROUGH THE SILVER STATE THIS HOUR. SFC PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN ELKO AND SLC BEEN ABOUT 6 MB AND JUST NOT SEEING
WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA SO WILL LET WIND ADVISORY EXPIRE ON TIME
THOUGH BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT
ACROSS EASTERN AND CENTRAL NV. WEST WENDOVER WILL REMAIN NEAR
ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT DO NOT HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO EXTEND THE
ADVISORY.

KLRX RADAR SHOWING BAND OF PRECIP CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM JARBIDGE SW
THROUGH BATTLE MOUNTAIN TO FALLON. THIS PRECIP BAND...MAINLY SNOW NOW
AS COLDER AIR CONTINUES TO WORK INTO THE CWFA...CONTINUES TO TRAIN
OVER THE FORE-MENTIONED AREA BUT GIVEN RECENT WARMTH SNOWFALL FINALLY
STARTING TO STICK IN SOME VALLEY LOCATIONS. HOWEVER...GIVEN CURRENT
RIVER AND STREAM CONCERNS PRECIP TRAINING AND LOCALIZED QPF MAXIMA...
ALBEIT NOT THAT HIGH YET...IS NOT WHAT THE HUMBOLDT RIVER NEEDS FROM
PALISADE WEST AS FLOODING LEVELS WILL REMAIN AT VARIOUS FLOOD STAGES
THROUGH THE WEEK.

THIS PRECIP HAS SLOWLY PUSH EAST OVERNIGHT WITH PRECIP ACROSS CNTRL
AND SRN ELKO COUNTY NOT COMMENCING UNTIL MIDNIGHT AT THE EARLIEST.
WINNEMUCCA HAS RECEIVED OVER A THIRD OF AN INCH OF PRECIP SO FAR
WHICH NOW MOVES THEM INTO THE TOP 20 FOR ALL TIME WETTEST WATER
YEARS...AND WE STILL HAVE 5 MONTHS PLUS TO GO. HOWEVER...CONSIDERING
SNOW AMTS IN THE SIERRA AND WHAT THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING TO THE NRN
PLAINS OVER THE NEXT 24-48 HOURS...WE HAD IT EASY. LATE TOMORROW WILL
SEE GOOD DRYING TREND WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE GREAT BASIN FOR
MOST OF THE WEEK. ONLY PROBLEM WILL BE WARMING TEMPERATURES THAT WILL
BEGIN TO MELT SNOWPACK THAT IS WELL ABOVE AVERAGE. WILL NEED TO
MONITOR WILDHORSE DAM AND OWYHEE DOWNSTREAM AS DATA SHOWING WATER
LEVELS ABOVE MONITOR STAGE WITH TREND SHOWING FLOOD LEVELS BEING MET
SOON. FEHRN

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...HIGH AND DRY THROUGH
EARLY FRIDAY ACCORDING TO LATEST EXTENDED MODELS. MODELS IN GENERAL
AGREEMENT IN SLITTING SYSTEM ON  FRIDAY AND SLOWING ITS EASTWARD
MOVEMENT. MAIN ENERGY MOVES TO JUST OF CA COAST FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY WHILE NORTHERN ENERGY EJECTS NORTHEAST INTO OREGON. AFTER
THIS THE SYSTEM GETS INTERESTING...WITH SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES IN
EASTWARD PROGRESSION AND TRACK OF SYSTEM. IN GENERAL...EACH MODEL
RUN HAS BEEN SLOWER AND A BIT MORE WEST WITH THIS CUT-OFF LOW.
THEREFORE TWEAKED POPS TO BETTER MATCH THIS SLOWING OF THE
SYSTEM...AND MAY HAVE TO FURTHER CUT BACK TIMING IF SLOWER MODEL
TREND CONTINUES. LATEST GFSX MOS GUIDANCE REFLECTS THE SLOWER
EASTWARD MOVEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM AND NOW HAS TEMPS IN THE 60S AND
70S BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...WITH FRIDAY SLIGHTLY WARMER.
SO...TWEAKED TEMPS IN EXTENDED TOWARD WARMER MOS TEMPS FOR THOSE
