AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
920 PM PST SUN NOV 12 2006

.SYNOPSIS...ANOTHER PACIFIC STORM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
GREAT BASIN AND PACIFIC NORTHWEST MONDAY RESULTING IN MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKIES...ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTHCENTRAL NEVADA MOUNTAINS
AND WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN SIERRA. LOCALLY BREEZY
CONDITIONS WILL THEN DEVELOP LATE TUESDAY AS THIS STORM CONTINUES TO
MOVE EAST. DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS LOOKED FOR DURING THE REMAINDER
OF THE WEEK AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE AREA.
&&

.UPDATE...A STRONG NORTHWESTERLY JET WILL BE MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND NORTHWEST NEVADA TONIGHT. INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWING
RAPID CLOUD TOP COOLING OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WHICH IS ASSOCIATED
WITH STRONG UPWARD FORCING IN LF EXIT REGION. SACRAMENTO RADAR
DETECTING SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WITH SNOW IN THE SIERRA AS FAR
SOUTH AS LAKE TAHOE. A FEW OBSERVATION PLATFORMS AT ELEVATIONS AT OR
ABOVE 8300 FEET REPORTING WIND GUSTS AROUND 80 MPH IN THE SIERRA.
THE NOSE OF THE STRONG NORTHWEST JET REACHES AS FAR SOUTH AS
SOUTHERN NEVADA EARLY MONDAY MORNING. HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY OF THE 00Z
4KM WRF WITH MODEL DOMAIN CENTERED ON THE SOUTHERN SIERRA YET. BUT
OAKLAND AND RENO SOUNDINGS DID INDICATE STRONG INVERSION NEAR
MOUNTAIN TOP WHICH IS A POSITIVE FOR DOWNSLOPE WINDS WITH A SLIGHT
NEGATIVE BEING THAT THE WINDS ARE NOT PERPENDICULAR BUT MORE FROM A
WEST-NORTHWEST DIRECTION. FOR NOW WILL LEAVE THE HIGH WIND WATCH
POSTED FOR THE SOUTHERN SIERRA/OWENS VALLEY MONDAY. STATEMENT WILL
NEED TO BE UPDATED AROUND 11 PM AND BY THEN HOPING TO GET THE 4KM
WRF FOR ANY POTENTIAL CHANGES. WILL UPDATE AND INDICATE MORE CLOUD
COVER TONIGHT AND INITIALLY LOWER THE SNOW LEVELS IN THE NORTHWEST
ZONES TONIGHT/EARLY MONDAY.

.AVIATION...STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE BLOWING ACROSS THE SIERRA
CRESTS TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. WAVE FORMATION IS EXPECTED ON
THE LEE SIDE WITH SOME OF THEM BREAKING AND BRINGING 60 TO 70 MPH
SURFACE WINDS ON THE EAST SLOPES. MODERATE TO SEVERE TURBULENCE CAN
BE EXPECTED ON THE LEE SIDES OF THE SIERRA AND WHITE MOUNTAINS OF
INYO COUNTY. TAFS AND TWEBS ADEQUATELY DESCRIBE EXPECTED WEATHER
CONDITIONS FOR AREA TERMINALS. SEE TAFS FOR KLAS...KVGT...KDRA...
KBIH...KDAG...KEED FOR DETAILS.

AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR AMENDED TAFS.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...240 PM PST SUN NOV 12 2006...SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENTS RAPIDLY DECREASING WITH RESULTANT DECREASE IN WINDS ACROSS
THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE EVENING. CONSIDERABLE HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE PUSHING
SOUTHEAST IN FLOW ALOFT AHEAD OF THE MAIN SHORT WAVE WHICH IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE CWA ON MONDAY. ALTHOUGH DIFFERENCES IN
TIMING/AREAL COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION BETWEEN THE NAM/GFS...OVERALL
PATTERN SEEMS TO HANDLED WELL. STRONG JET...160KT PLUS...FORECAST TO
NOSE INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BY 12Z MONDAY TO RAPIDLY PUSH SHORT
WAVE ACROSS THE CWA MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT. BEST DYNAMICS WITH THE
SYSTEM TO REMAIN TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA...HOWEVER TRAILING FEATURE
ALONG WITH OROGRAPHICS ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS TO COMBINED TO
KEEP ISOLATED/SCATTERED SHOWERS GOING FOR MUCH OF MONDAY/MONDAY
NIGHT. MAIN CONCERN HOWEVER WILL BE WINDS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN SIERRA
AND OWENS VALLEY. CURRENT WRF POINTING TO BETTER INDICATORS OF
POSSIBLE DOWNSLOPE WIND EVENT LATE MONDAY MORNING INTO MONDAY
AFTERNOON THAN PREVIOUS RUN WITH WINDS 60+KTS MTN TOPS AND 45+KT MID
SLOPE. WILL ISSUE HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE AREA FOR MONDAY. STRONG
MOUNTAIN TOP WINDS MAY ACTUALLY BEGIN EARLIER AND WILL NEED TO
MONITOR CLOSELY OVERNIGHT. LIMITED WIND PROBLEMS ELSEWHERE ON
MONDAY. HOWEVER...SURFACE HIGH THEN BUILDS TO THE NORTHEAST ON
TUESDAY AS SHORT WAVE CONTINUES SHIFTING EAST FOR POSSIBLY ANOTHER
ROUND OF BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COLORADO
RIVER VALLEY. LOOK FOR TEMPS REBOUNDING IN THE SHORT TERM WITH MOST
READINGS BEING NEAR NORMAL BY TUESDAY.

.LONG TERM...A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES ROTATING AROUND A STRONG UPPER
LOW IN THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL HELP FLATTEN THE EASTERN PACIFIC
RIDGE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THIS WILL BRING A ZONAL FLOW TO THE
CWA AND KEEP MAINLY HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS OVER THE AREA. TEMPERATURES
ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN ABOUT 3-5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE
WEEK.
&&

VEF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
.NV...NONE.
.AZ...NONE.
.CA...HIGH WIND WATCH FOR MONDAY ZONES 519 AND 520.
