AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
400 AM PST MON NOV 27 2006
.SHORT TERM...
INITIAL SNOW BAND YESTERDAY AFTERNOON PRODUCED 2-5 INCHES ALONG THE
SIERRA INCLUDING THE TAHOE BASIN. WHILE THE EVENING HAS BEEN QUIET...
ONE FINAL JET STREAK DIVING SOUTH NEAR THE CA-OREGON BORDER COAST IS
HELPING TO INCREASE SNOW COVERAGE IN NRN CA AND THE WEST SLOPE OF
THE SIERRA CREST. DESPITE WEAK RADAR ECHOES...VSBY AT ALTURAS HAS
DECREASED TO 1/2 MILE AT TIMES SO THE SNOW EVENT IS NOT FINISHED
YET. WHILE SNOW AMOUNTS WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH CRITERIA IN THE
WARNING AND ADVISORY AREAS...THE TIMING OF BEST FORCING WILL
COINCIDE WITH THE BUSY MORNING COMMUTE AND HAVE A NOTABLE IMPACT ON
TRAVEL IN THE SIERRA AND OVER WRN NV MAINLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80.
FROM THIS AFTERNOON THRU TUESDAY...UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL PERSIST
WITH AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW OR SNOW SHOWERS ALONG THE SIERRA FROM TAHOE
NWR AND ALSO OVER EXTREME NWRN NV AND THE SURPRISE VALLEY. MORE
ORGANIZED LIGHT POWDER SNOW AMOUNTING TO A COUPLE OF INCHES IS
POSSIBLE TONIGHT THRU EARLY TUESDAY IN AREAS NORTH OF GERLACH TO THE
OREGON BORDER AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY RIDES ALONG A STALLED SECONDARY
FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THIS AREA. THIS BOUNDARY IS THEN EXPECTED TO
WEAKEN AS IT DRIFTS SOUTH LATER TUESDAY THRU TUES NIGHT AND COULD
BRING SOME FLURRIES AS FAR SOUTH AS RENO-FALLON LINE BEFORE
AVAILABLE SOURCES OF LIFT AND MOISTURE CEASE. LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS
OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE EAST OF PYRAMID LAKE
TONIGHT AND SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKE TUES NIGHT AS STEEP LAPSE RATES
OVER THE LAKE WILL INDUCE BETWEEN 500-900 J/KG OF CAPE BASED ON
MODEL SOUNDINGS AND A LAKE WATER TEMPERATURE OF 10 C/50 F.
OTHER THAN THE SNOW...THE MAIN WEATHER STORY WILL BE THE VERY COLD
WEATHER FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. TEMPS WILL REMAIN IN THE 30S OR LOWER
40S OVER VALLEY AREAS TODAY AND BECOME COOLER THRU MIDWEEK WITH SOME
VALLEYS REMAINING BELOW FREEZING WEDNESDAY AS MID LEVEL INVERSION
STRENGTHENS WHILE LIGHT NE-E FLOW PREVAILS AT THE SFC. CLOUD COVER
WILL PREVENT FULL RADIATIONAL COOLING TONIGHT...BUT THE NEXT TWO
NIGHTS WILL BE VERY COLD AS CLOUDS DECREASE. RECORD LOWS NEAR THE
END OF NOVEMBER WERE ACTUALLY SET IN RENO JUST TWO YEARS AGO WHEN IT
GOT AS COLD AS 4 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT...BUT AT THAT TIME A
WIDESPREAD SNOWPACK OF SEVERAL INCHES WAS PRESENT ACROSS WRN NV.
WITHOUT THAT SNOW ON THE GROUND...IT IS NOT LIKELY THAT THOSE
RECORDS WILL BE THREATENED. MJD
.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
UPPER RIDGE BUILDS JUST OFF THE WEST COAST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH
A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE WESTERN US. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS
CONTINUE TO SHOW DECENT AGREEMENT WITH ONLY SOME DIFFERENCES ON THE
STRENGTH OF THE RIDGE. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENS ACROSS
IDAHO AND THE PAC NW BEHIND A SHORT WAVE THAT REMAINS NORTH OF THE
CWA ON FRIDAY. NORTH OR NORTHEAST LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO
HOLD TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL AND BELOW MOS GUIDANCE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. OPERATIONAL GFS AND A COUPLE OF ITS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS SHOW
AND INSIDE SLIDER DROPPING INTO NV OVER THE WEEKEND BUT THE TRACK
WOULD LIKELY BE ACROSS CENTRAL OR EASTERN NV. NO PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED DURING THE PERIOD AND NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE MADE TO
THE PREVIOUS FORECAST PACKAGE. RC
&&
.AVIATION...
STORM SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE AREA WILL CREATE AREAS OF IFR CONDS
WITH LOCAL LIFR IN THE SIERRA FROM AROUND LAKE TAHOE NORTH THIS
MORNING. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN AND WESTERN NV TODAY
AND PRODUCE MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS IN SNOW SHOWERS. WIDESPREAD MOUNTAIN
OBSCUREMENT EXPECTED WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING AFTER 20Z. RC
