AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
346 AM PDT WED SEP 13 2006

.SHORT TERM...
MODELS STILL SHOWING A STRONG SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THE REGION ON
THURSDAY.  CURRENTLY MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES OVER THE GREAT BASIN AS A
FLAT RIDGE IS OVER THE SWRN CONUS.  THE SYSTEM THAT WILL BE
AFFECTING OUR WEATHER LATER THIS WEEK CAN BE SEEN ON SATELLITE
IMAGERY OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA.  A SHORTWAVE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
UPPER LOW CAN ALSO BE SEEN ON IR AND WV IMAGERY.

THE MODELS BRING THIS FEATURE QUICKLY INTO THE PACIFIC NW TODAY.  A
JET MAX NOW MOVING ACROSS SRN BRITISH COLUMBIA WILL HELP TO PULL THE
UPPER TROUGH INTO THE PACIFIC NW TODAY.  A SECOND...MUCH STRONGER...
150 KT JET MAX WILL MOVE DOWN THE WEST SIDE OF THE TROUGH ON THURS.
THIS IS THE SAME SCENARIO THAT PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS HAVE BEEN
INDICATING.  THE 00Z GFS IS SLIGHTLY DEEPER THAN THE 12Z WAS.  THIS
DEEPER TRAJECTORY IS WHAT THE GFS WAS SHOWING TUESDAY MORNING.  WITH
THE JET MAX POSSIBLY TRAVERSING THE REGION FARTHER TO THE SOUTH ITS
UPPER DYNAMICS WILL COMBINE WITH THE COLD AIR ALOFT AND THE
RESULTING INSTABILITY.  THE 00Z MODELS INITIALIZED FAIRLY WELL IN
THE PLACEMENT OF THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURES OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA
AND BRITISH COLUMBIA THIS MORNING.  BECAUSE OF THIS...FEEL THAT THE
MODELS ARE ON TRACK WITH THIS SYSTEM EVEN THOUGH THEIR SOLUTIONS ARE
NOT TOTALLY CONSISTENT.  HOWEVER...WITH THIS ANOMALOUSLY COLD SYSTEM
FOR SO EARLY IN SEPTEMBER...FEEL THAT THEIR SOLUTIONS ARE FAIRLY
GOOD DURING THIS TRANSITION SEASON IN THE MODEL PHYSICS.

NOT PLANNING ON MAKING ANY MAJOR CHANGES TO TIMING OF COLD FROPA ON
THURSDAY.  FEEL THAT DAY SHIFT TIMING IS ON TRACK WITH THIS SYSTEM.
WILL KEEP PRECIP IN NRN ZONES PER DAY SHIFTS REASONING...BUT MAY
BRING SOME PRECIP INTO NRN LASSEN TO PERSHING COUNTIES TO TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT THE SLIGHTLY MORE SLY TRACK OF THE UPPER JET.  HOWEVER...
AGREE THAT SRN ZONES SHOULD NOT HAVE ENOUGH DYNAMICS OR INSTABILITY
TO GENERATE PRECIP.  MAIN CONCERN FOR THOSE ZONES WILL BE THE
POSSIBLITY OF STRONG WINDS ON THURSDAY AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH.  THE GFS SHOWS 30 KT WINDS AT 700 MB ASSOCIATED WITH THE
FRONT.  IN RESPONSE TO THESE WINDS MIXING DOWN TO THE SURFACE THE
GFS SHOWS 90 AGL WINDS OF 35 KT ALONG AND JUST EAST OF THE SIERRA.
THESE WOULD BE LOW END WIND ADVISORY SPEEDS BUT LATER SHIFTS CAN
JUDGE WHETHER AN ADVISORY IS WARRENTED.  WE SHOULD DEFINITELY SEE
GUSTY WINDS ON THURSDAY WITH SUCH A STRONG TEMPERATURE GRADIENT...
IMPRESSIVE MID LEVEL WINDS AND THE JET MAX MOVING OVER THE AREA.
THE WINDS AT 700 MB WILL ALSO BE NORMAL TO THE FRONT WHICH WILL HELP
TO PUSH THE FRONT QUICKLY THROUGH THE REGION...THUS AIDING IN MIXING
STRONG WINDS TO THE SURFACE.

A SECOND JET MAX DEEPENS THE UPPER TROUGH EVEN MORE ON FRIDAY...
BRINGING IN A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR.  THIS WILL HELP KEEP
SKIES PARTLY CLOUDY IN THE NRN ZONES ON FRIDAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF SHRA CONTINUING THROUGH THE DAY.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN START
TO BUILD INTO THE WEST COAST FRIDAY NIGHT.

TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL STILL BE ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS THE KREV CWFA
WITH THE RIDGE OVER US.  THE TRANSITION WILL COME ON THURSDAY AS THE
STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.  HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THE DAY...
ESPECIALLY IN THE NRN SIERRA AND NWRN NEVADA...COULD OCCUR EARLY IN
THE AFTERNOON.  ON FRIDAY AFTN HIGHS WILL BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL FOR MID SEPTEMBER.  OHARA

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
GFS A LITTLE SLOWER KICKING OUT LOW ACROSS NRN ROCKIES ON SAT
BUT STILL REMAINS DRY UNDER ACYCLONIC FLOW. TEMPS REMAIN COOL
SATURDAY WITH NELY FLOW IN POST FRONTAL AIRMASS THEN WARMING
SUNDAY AROUND 5 DEGREES WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND SUBSIDNCE.
GFS TRENDING CLOSER TO EURO WITH NEXT PAC TROUGH WHICH IS SLOWER
AND LESS AMPLIFIED THAN PREV RUNS. HAVE PULLED MENTION OF PCPN
FM NRN ZONES ON MONDAY WHILE HEIGHTS REMAIN FAIRLY HIGH WITH TROUGH
OFF PAC NW COAST. TROUGH SLOWLY AMPLIFIES TUESDAY WITH INCREASING
CLOUDS ACROSS N BUT STAYING DRY WITH UPPER JET SUPPORT N OF AREA.
TEMPS HIGHER MON AND TUES AND HAVE SHADED THEM MORE TOWARD MOS.
