AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
305 PM PDT SUN APR 2 2006

.SYNOPSIS...A MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF A LARGE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST WILL BRING RAIN AND SNOW TO THE
SOUTHERN SIERRA LATE TONIGHT AND MONDAY WITH THE CHANCE OF RAIN AND
HIGH ELEVATION SNOW SPREADING ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGHOUT
THE REGION THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES INLAND
ACROSS THE WESTERN STATES. DRY CONDITIONS AND A WARMING TREND WILL
OCCUR BEHIND THE SYSTEM THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
&&

.SHORT TERM...HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE WAS INCREASING ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF AN IMPRESSIVE PLUME OF MOISTURE
EXTENDING FROM THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST BACK TO THE TROPICS
SOUTH OF HAWAII. THE BROAD PACIFIC LOW WELL OFF THE
WASHINGTON/OREGON COAST WAS DIGGING SOUTH AND DRAWING THIS TROPICAL
MOISTURE TO THE NORTHEAST. SATELLITE PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY
SHOWED A BROAD SWATH OF VALUES BETWEEN 1 AND 1.5 INCHES WHICH WAS
TAKING AIM ON THE THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST. THE 12Z GFS IS THE
PREFERRED SOLUTION AS IT APPEARED TO HAVE A GOOD INITIALIZATION OF
THE MAIN FEATURES WITH THIS SYSTEM AND KEEPS A MORE COMPLEX
DOUBLE-LOW STRUCTURE WHICH IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY THE 12Z ECMWF. THE
GFS IS ALSO A WETTER SOLUTION OVERALL FOR THE FORECAST AREA THAN THE
12Z NAM. DEEP LAYERED MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO REACH THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA TONIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING. PRECIPITATION SHOULD BEGIN OVER
THE EAST SLOPES LATE TONIGHT THEN INCREASE LATE MONDAY MORNING AND
AFTERNOON AS THE GFS INDICATES SOME SHORTWAVE ENERGY IN THE
SOUTHWEST FLOW EJECTING INLAND. SNOW LEVELS LOOK QUITE HIGH GIVEN
700 MB TEMPS AROUND 0 DEGREES C MONDAY AND WILL KEEP MENTION OF SNOW
ABOVE 8500 FEET FOLLOWED BY GRADUAL LOWERING MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY. IT LOOKS LIKE THE SOUTHERN SIERRA WILL INTERCEPT MOISTURE
DURING MUCH OF THE PERIOD MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. DECIDED TO
UPGRADE THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO A WARNING FOR THE SOUTHERN SIERRA.
THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO REMAIN OFF THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST
AND THE GFS SHOWS A MID-LEVEL (700-500 MB) DRY SLOT WORKING ACROSS
MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY BEFORE THE LOW SWINGS INLAND
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...THE GFS BRINGS 0.75-1.00 INCH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OVER THE AREA DURING THE SAME TIME AND THE
850-700 MB LAYER INDICATES 80-90 PERCENT RH VALUES. IT APPEARS THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA WILL SEE THE BEST THREAT OF PRECIPITATION
WITH THIS SYSTEM ALTHOUGH A LOT CAN CHANGE WITH SO MUCH UPSTREAM
MOISTURE AND MINOR VARIATIONS IN THE FLOW OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.

.LONG TERM...SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES SHOWING UP IN THE EXTENDED FOR
FRIDAY ONWARDS THAT PUTS THE CONFIDENCE FACTOR IN A LOW RATING. BUT
BEFORE THEN WEDNESDAY WILL CONTINUE THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WITH
THE ABOVE MENTIONED SYSTEM MOVING OVER NEVADA ON WEDNESDAY. MODELS
HAVE BEEN PROGRESSIVELY MOVING THE CLOSED LOW FURTHER NORTH AND HAVE
A SHARP TROUGH MOVING OVER OUR FORECAST AREA. STILL ABUNDANT
MOISTURE FOR WIDE SPREAD SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS. I WENT AHEAD AND PUT
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST FOR THE SOUTHERN ZONES. LI PROGS ARE
FOR 0 TO -1 WHILE VERY COLD 500 MB TEMPERATURES OF -27C  TO -29C
WILL BE PRESENT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE AT THEIR
LOWEST THEN WITH LEVELS AROUND THE 4600-4900 LEVEL THROUGH MUCH OF
THE AREA. THE DIFFERENCES IN MODELS STARTING FRIDAY ARE WHETHER A
STRONG TROUGH WILL ROTATE NORTHEASTWARD FROM A LOW OFFSHORE AND
BRING SOME PRECIPITATION TO THE NORTH PARTS OF THE FORECAST
AREA...OR RIDGING PERSISTS UNTIL SUNDAY WHEN SOUTHWEST FLOW
STRENGTHENS IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER LOW.  MODELS SOLUTIONS ARE IN FLUX
ABOUT THIS. I WENT WITH EXISTING POPS FORECAST OF SOME LOW CHANCE IN
THE NORTH AS A COMPROMISE.  OTHER ITEM OF NOTE WAS THE LATEST MEX
TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE. IT WENT WAY TO WARM COMPARED TO PREVIOUS
CYCLE. HENCE I MADE LITTLE CHANGES TO EXISTING TEMPERATURE FORECAST.
