AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
214 AM PDT FRI JUN 15 2007

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING ABOVE-NORMAL DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES AND CONTINUED DRY CONDITIONS TODAY AND SATURDAY.
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL CLIP NORTHERN NEVADA LATE IN THE WEEKEND
BRINGING GUSTY WINDS AND MORE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES. &&

.SHORT TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. SKIES ARE CLOUD-FREE THIS
MORNING AS SYNOPTIC FLOW ALOFT BEGINS TO SHIFT MORE SOUTHWESTERLY.
NEXT WEATHER MAKER WILL BE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CENTERED OFF PACIFIC
NORTHWEST ATTM. GFS IS A LITTLE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THIS FEATURE ON
LATEST RUN...HOWEVER MAINLY BRINGING WIND GUSTS AND A SMALL RISK
FOR DRY THUNDERSTORMS. AIRMASS DESTABILIZES SOMEWHAT THIS AFTERNOON
AND AGAIN SATURDAY. MAINLY CUMULUS BUILD-UPS BUT CANNOT RULE OUT A
STRIKE ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE APPROACH OF A COLD FRONT THAT
WILL BRUSH NORTHERN NEVADA. WITH MINIMAL RISK FOR TS DEVELOPMENT DUE
TO SCARCE MOISTURE AT ALL LEVELS...WILL REFRAIN FROM ADDING TS
WORDING IN ZONES. HOWEVER THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER SITUATION DEVELOPING SATURDAY AFTERNOON...WHEN LOW MOVES
INLAND OVER WA STATE...PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS ENOUGH TO PRODUCE
BREEZY CONDITIONS AT THE SURFACE OVER NORTHERN NEVADA. GUST SHOULD
EXCEED 30 MPH MORE WIDESPREAD IN FWZ 451 AND 452. WEST TO SW FLOW
WILL STILL ALLOW FOR ABOVE-NORMAL TEMPS TO CONTINUE TODAY AND
SATURDAY.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL SKIRT TO THE NORTH AND SOME COOLER TEMPS WILL
FILTER INTO NORTHERN NEVADA FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY. A RIDGE WILL THEN
BUILD OVER THE FOUR CORNERS AREA BRINGING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW
BACK ACROSS THE CWA. THERE WILL BE SEVERAL WEAK SHORTWAVES THAT WILL
MOVE OVER THE RIDGE. HOWEVER...IT LOOKS TO BE FAIRLY DRY AND STABLE
ATTM. CURRENTLY AM EXPECTING A CONTINUED WARMING TREND AND SUNNY
SKIES FOR THE WEEK. IPPI
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL THROUGH
SATURDAY. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE NEAR 90 DEGREES IN
MANY AREAS ACROSS THE FIRE DISTRICT. MAIN FIRE WEATHER CONCERN
WILL BE INCREASING WINDS AND LOWERING RH VALUES FOR FWZ 451 AND
452. WIND GUSTS WILL BE LOCALIZED AROUND 30 MPH WITH SUSTAINED
WINDS OF 10-20 MPH TODAY. WINDS WILL BECOME SUSTAINED BREEZY SATURDAY
ACROSS THESE SAME ZONES WITH GUSTS EXPECTED TO RANGE IN THE 30-35
MPH RANGE.
&&

.AVIATION...TAFS AND TWEBS COVER EXPECTED VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH
TONIGHT. THERE MAY BE SOME LOCALIZED GUSTY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON.
