AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
300 AM PST TUE FEB 14 2006

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAK FRONT WILL PASS OVER EXTREME NORTHEAST NEVADA
THIS MORNING BRINGING THE RISK OF LIGHT SNOW. A STRONGER FRONT WILL
MOVE INTO THE GREAT BASIN THIS AFTERNOON WITH SNOW SHOWERS BEGINNING
IN THE NORTH AND GRADUALLY SPREADING INTO CENTRAL NEVADA TONIGHT.
SNOW SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH MOST AREAS COLD AND
DRY UNTIL ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND. &&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY. GFS MODEL IS A LITTLE MORE
PROGRESSIVE THAN NAM AND NGM MODELS BY INTRODUCING PRECIPITATION
INTO NORTH-CENTRAL TO NORTHEASTERN NEVADA EARLY THIS MORNING AS THE
TRAILING EDGE OF A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY BRUSHES OVER NORTHERN
NEVADA. CURRENT (11PM MONDAY) IR IMAGERY SHOWING ONLY A THIN BAND
OF CLOUDS...WHICH EXTEND FROM NORTHWEST CORNER OF NEVADA UP TOWARD
BOISE...WITH THE BULK OF CLOUDS OVER EASTERN IDAHO. THE WELL
ADVERTISED ARCTIC AIR MASS HEADING TOWARD THE GREAT BASIN IS
PUSHING THIS WEAK SYSTEM TO THE SOUTHEAST. LIGHT SNOW FLURRIES ARE
POSSIBLE EARLY THIS MORNING OVER EASTERN HUMBOLDT COUNTY AND ALL OF
ELKO COUNTY...HOWEVER NOT EXPECTING ANY ACCUMULATION OTHER THAN
POSSIBLY THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS OF EXTREME NORTHEAST ELKO COUNTY WHERE
AT BEST TWO INCHES OF NEW SNOW MAY FALL BEFORE NOON TODAY. HEAVIEST
SNOWFALL WILL BE OVER AND NEAR THE JARBIDGE MOUNTAINS...WITH LESS
THAN AN INCH OF ACCUMULATION OVER THE REMAINING AREAS. EXPECT A
LITTLE BREAK FROM THE LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE NORTH IN THE EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS AS THE WEAK FRONT EXITS TO THE SOUTHEAST. COLD
ARCTIC AIR SLIDES INTO THE GREAT BASIN THROUGH THE DAY AS THE JET
STREAM AND AN ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL LOW APPROACH FROM THE NORTH-
NORTHWEST.

BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING THE UPPER LEVEL JET IS OVER NORTHERN
NEVADA. FAVORABLE DYNAMICS FOR PRECIPITATION INCREASE ACROSS NORTHERN
MOST NEVADA IN THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING AS THE UPPER LEVEL
JET ENTERS THE REGION. THE JET WILL GRADUALLY DRIFT TOWARD SOUTHERN
NEVADA OVERNIGHT AS THE CENTER OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW REACHES THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF NEVADA AROUND 14Z. LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW IS
EXPECTED TO BEGIN OVER NORTHERN NEVADA AROUND SUNSET THIS EVENING...
GRADUALLY SPREADING SOUTH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. MODELS IN AGREEMENT THAT
NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY WILL RECEIVE THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS OF SNOW BY LATE
THURSDAY EVENING AS THIS ROUND OF PRECIPITATION ENDS. EXPECT THE 24
HOUR TOTALS TO BE A LITTLE BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA UNLESS THE
SNOW/WATER RATIO RISES MUCH ABOVE 15:1...WHICH IS A SLIGHT CONCERN
FOR MAINLY NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY AS MUCH OF SNOW WILL OCCUR WHEN 700MB
TEMPS ARE NEAR -16C. AS THE TROUGH AXIS MOVES OVER NORTHERN NEVADA
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THERE IS A VERY SLIGHT CHANCE OF LIGHTNING. SINCE
MODELS HAVE GRADUALLY BEEN BACKING OFF ON LI/S HOWEVER...WILL WAIT A
BIT LONGER BEFORE INTRODUCING ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
FORECAST.

WINDS OVER SOUTHERN LANDER/EUREKA...NORTHERN NYE...AND TO A LESSER
EXTENT WHITE PINE COUNTY STILL LOOK FAVORABLE TO REACH AT LEAST
BREEZY LEVELS ON WEDNESDAY..ESPECIALLY OVER HIGHER ELEVATIONS. WILL
HOLD OFF INTRODUCTION OF A WIND ADVISORY A LITTLE LONGER HOWEVER...
UNTIL MODELS COME TO A BETTER CONSENSUS. ROOD

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. MOST OF THE MEDIUM RANGE
MODELS IN AGREEMENT IN DIGGING UPPER LOW OFF THE NRN CA COAST FRI
AND SAT THEN MOVING IT ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN SUNDAY AND EARLY
MONDAY. THIS MEANS ONLY SLGT CHC SHWRS FRI AND SAT THEN INCREASING
TO CHC SUNDAY AS UPPER LOW MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN. TEMPS WILL
REMAIN BELOW NORMAL. CEC
&&

.AVIATION...COLD FRONT WILL MOVE NERN NV THIS MORNING. MOISTURE WITH
THIS FEATURE RATHER LIMITED SO ONLY EXPECTING ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS.
MORE SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE WILL MOVE INTO NRN NV TONIGHT WITH
STRONGER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOPING.
CEC
&&

 .LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
