AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
1000 AM PST MON FEB 27 2006

.UPDATE...
RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES...CONTINUES ACROSS THE SIERRA AND ITS LEE.
ABUNDANT MOISTURE STILL POISED UPSTREAM TO SLAM INTO THE CWA THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...WITH SATELLITE PW VALUES OF
1.25-1.50 INCHES PUMPING ONSHORE INTO CALIFORNIA. CONVERTED FLOOD
WATCHES TO WARNINGS FOR THE CARSON RIVER AND THE TRUCKEE AT VISTA.
WARNING ALSO CONTINUES FOR THE SUSAN RIVER. THE TRUCKEE AT RENO IS
STILL EXPECTED TO STAY BELOW FLOOD STAGE...BUT IS BEING MONITORED
VERY CLOSELY. COLD FRONT SLAMS INTO EASTERN CALIFORNIA AND WESTERN
NEVADA LATE TONIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...BRINGING SNOW AND STRONG
WINDS. FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR THIS AFTERNOON WILL CONTINUE TO BE
HYDRO ISSUES AS WELL AS SNOW & WIND HEADLINES FOR TUESDAY MORNING. SHULZ

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FROM 520 AM PST...
PER AMSU SATELLITE IMAGERY...POWERFUL TROUGH CURRENTLY NEAR 35N/140W
IS BEGINNING TO SCOOP UP TROPICAL MOISTURE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATERS
NEAR 1.80 INCHES FROM WEST OF BAJA CALIFORNIA. THE TROUGH WILL SEND
THE HIGH PWAT MOISTURE STREAMING NORTHWARD AND SLAM IT INTO THE
SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA BY THIS AFTERNOON. GFS (WHICH HAS A GREAT
HANDLE ON THE PWAT TAP) MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE NEAR .60 INCHES OF
PRECIP WATER FOR RENO AT 00Z TUE...QUITE HIGH FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
SEE THE HYDROLOGICAL DISCUSSION BELOW FOR MORE ON THE RAINFALL AND
FLOODING POTENTIAL.

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL DRIVE THROUGH THE REGION TUESDAY MORNING...
WITH SNOW LEVELS FALLING TO THE LOWER VALLEY FLOORS OF FAR WESTERN
NEVADA AND NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA IN THE MORNING. WITH A -30C CORE AT
500 MB...DEEP MOISTURE...AND A 130-150 KT JET PRESSING INTO CENTRAL
NEVADA TO ENHANCE VERTICAL MOTION...A FEW QUICK INCHES OF SNOW ARE
POSSIBLE IN THE LOWER VALLEYS OF FAR WESTERN NEVADA AND EASTERN
CALIFORNIA IN HEAVY BURSTS OF SNOW FROM MID MORNING INTO EARLY
AFTERNOON TUESDAY. FOR THE SIERRA...6+ INCHES OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE
FOR THE LAKE TAHOE BASIN WITH INSTABILITY SHOWERS AND OROGRAPHIC
FLOW CONTINUING ALL DAY TUESDAY. SNOW ADVISORIES WILL PROBABLY BE
NEEDED FOR TUESDAY...BUT WITH ALL THE PRODUCTS CURRENTLY OUT AND THE
FACT THAT THE EVENT IS 24-36 HOURS AWAY...WE WILL HOLD OFF A LITTLE
LONGER IN ORDER TO FOCUS ON THE MORE IMMEDIATE FLOOD THREAT.

EXCEPT FOR WESTERN LASSEN COUNTY SOUTH INTO LAKE TAHOE WHERE
CONTINUED LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE...TUESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING WILL BE A BREAK BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM
OVER THE BERING SEA DIVES SOUTH ALONG THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST.
SNOW WILL INCREASE IN INTENSITY FROM TAHOE NORTH LATE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AS THE SYSTEMS COLD FRONT NEARS THE CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA
BORDER. SNYDER

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
STRONG COLD UPPER LOW STILL ON TRACK TO BRING POTENTIALLY HEAVY
SNOWFALL TO THE SIERRA AND ADJACENT VALLEYS OF NERN CA-WRN NV FOR
THURS-FRI. MODEL QPF ALONE ON THE LEE SIDE VALLEYS WOULD YIELD ABOUT
6 INCHES OF SNOW DURING THE NIGHT AND MORNING PERIODS WHEN SNOW IS
MORE CAPABLE OF ACCUMULATING. WHEN DYNAMICS AND POSSIBLE LAKE
ENHANCEMENT ARE FACTORED IN...SOME AREAS WITHIN THE RENO AND CARSON
VALLEY REGIONS MAY RECEIVE A FOOT OF SNOW FROM THIS STORM. IN THE
SIERRA AND AT LAKE LEVEL WHERE SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE BETTER IN THE
DAYTIME PERIODS...STORM TOTALS FROM LATE WED NIGHT THROUGH FRI
EVENING COULD EASILY EXCEED TWO FEET. THE 06Z GFS AND SOME OF THE
00Z GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS SEND IN AN EXTRA SHORTWAVE FRI AFTN-EVE.
THE PREVIOUS SHIFT ALREADY BOLSTERED POPS UP TO LIKELY IN ALL ZONES
FRIDAY WHICH WILL BE MAINTAINED WITH THIS FORECAST...AND SUBSEQUENT
SHIFTS MAY NEED TO INCREASE POPS FRI NIGHT IF THIS WETTER TREND
CONTINUES.

SHORTWAVE RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE REGION FOR THIS WEEKEND WITH TEMPS
LIKELY REMAINING WELL BELOW MOS GUIDANCE DUE TO EXPECTED WIDESPREAD
SNOW COVER. NEXT TROF APPROACHES THE WEST COAST BY LATE SUNDAY BUT
LATEST GFS AND ENSEMBLE DATA IS TRENDING ON KEEPING THIS TROF
FARTHER OFF THE COAST. THE CANADIAN AND ECMWF BRING THIS SYSTEM
CLOSER TO THE WEST COAST BUT THE STRONG GFS ENSEMBLE CONSENSUS
FAVORS KEEPING THE REGION DRY THRU SUNDAY WITH HIGH CLOUDS SPREADING
IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. MJD

&&

.AVIATION...
WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS IN THE SIERRA AND ALONG TWEB ROUTE 376 IN
NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA AS BAND OF TROPICAL MOISTURE/MODERATE RAIN
INCREASES THROUGH 18Z AND CONTINUES INTO TUESDAY MORNING. SNOW
LEVELS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE TAF SITE LOCATIONS DURING MOST OF
THIS PERIOD WITH A CHANGEOVER TO SNOW/PERIOD OF IFR CONDITIONS
DEVELOPING AFTER 12Z TUESDAY MORNING. HOHMANN
&&

.HYDROLOGY...
MODELS HAVE SLOWED EASTWARD MOVEMENT OF UPPER TROUGH A LITTLE AND
NOW HANG FRONT ACROSS AREA A FEW HOURS LONGER TUESDAY MORNING. AS A
RESULT MODEL QPF INCLUDING BOTH THE 27/00Z ETA/GFS SHOW JUST UNDER 2
INCHES AT RENO WHILE MAINTAINING PREVIOUS FORECAST AMOUNTS IN THE
FOOTHILLS AND SIERRA. DRY SLOT REMAINS TO OUR WEST THROUGH EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING AND NOW COMES INTO THE GREAT BASIN FURTHER SOUTH AND
OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA. THIS TREND WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED VERY
CLOSELY AS AN ADDITIONAL HALF INCH OF QPF AT THE VALLEY FLOORS WOULD
EXACERBATE RUNOFF FROM UPPER ELEVATIONS. SNOW LEVELS NEAR 8000 FEET
WITH HEAVY PRECIPITATION (OVER 5 INCHES AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS)
WILL ALREADY BE ALLOWING FOR HEAVY RUNOFF FROM THE SURROUNDING
FOOTHILLS AND MOUNTAIN RIVER BASINS. QPF WAS LEFT AS IS FROM
PREVIOUS FORECAST. SMALL CREEK AND STREAM FLOODING IS LIKELY AND
CURRENT PROJECTIONS BRING SEVERAL FORECAST POINTS ON THE MAINSTEM
RIVERS TO NEAR OR JUST ABOVE THEIR FLOOD STAGES TUESDAY. CONFIDENCE
CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN CURRENT RIVER FORECAST PROJECTIONS. HOHMANN
