AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
318 AM PDT WED MAR 28 2007

.SYNOPSIS...SNOW SHOWERS WILL LINGER THROUGH MID AFTERNOON WITH
GRADUAL CLEARING FROM WEST TO EAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL ONCE AGAIN BUILD OVER THE AREA THURSDAY BRINGING DRIER
CONDITIONS FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. &&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY. WATER VAPOR AND IR IMAGERY
SHOWING UPPER LEVEL ELONGATED OVER NORTHEASTERN NEVADA ATTM. A DRY
SLOT HAS WORKED ITS WAY IN AND IS PUSHING THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE
SOUTHWESTWARD. THIS IS ALSO SHOWN ON RADAR AS WELL. HAVE EXTENDED
POPS FOR THE FIRST 6 HOURS WESTWARD TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS PUSH OF
MOISTURE IN THAT DIRECTION. BOTH GFS AND THE NAM SLOWLY PROGRESS
THE UPPER LOW EASTWARD THROUGH THE DAY. WITH THIS SLOW PROGRESSION...
WRAP AROUND PRECIP WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE WELL INTO THE
AFTERNOON AS SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS. ALSO...CLOUD COVER WILL LIKELY
DISSIPATE SLOWLY IN NORTHEASTERN NEVADA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

WITH HIGHS EXPECTED TO BE ABOVE FREEZING...SOME MELTING IS EXPECTED
AND WITH WINDS FORECAST TO DROP TO LESS THEN 7KTS TONIGHT...THERE
IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME FOG FORMING ACROSS EASTERN NEVADA EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING. ONLY MENTIONED PATCHY ATTM AS WINDS WILL BE A BIG
FACTOR. IF THEY DO NOT DIE DOWN...THE FOG IS LESS LIKELY.

ONCE THIS SYSTEM CLEARS OUT...A RIDGE WILL BUILD IN ON THURSDAY
ALLOWING TEMPS TO BEGIN TO MODERATE AND INCH THEIR WAY BACK TOWARDS
NORMAL. IPPI

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. LATEST MODEL RUNS APPEAR
TO DOWNPLAY H5 RIDGING OVER WRN U.S. ON FRIDAY AND LIKELY PROGRESSING
THE WRN CANADIAN LOW TOO FAR INLAND. HOWEVER...BELIEVE THAT THE MEAN
CENTER OF THE VORTEX WILL REMAIN ACROSS WRN BRITISH COLUMBIA...IF NOT
FARTHER WEST...OF DEVELOPING RIDGE AXIS NEAR 120W...NOT AT THE TOP
OF THE RIDGE WHERE THE FLOW IS NORMALLY QUICK. BY SATURDAY MORNING...
THIS WOULD RULE OUT THE FAST/DEEP 00Z GFS. THE 12Z ECMWF/00Z CANADIAN
ARE CLOSEST TO THE PREFERRED SOLUTION. CONSEQUENTLY...H5 RIDGE
OVER NEVADA BEGINS TO FLATTEN LATE SATURDAY AND UPPER FLOW BECOMES
MORE ZONAL. ECMWF SWEEPS SHORT WAVE/SFC FRONT THROUGH THE PACIFIC NW
WITH PRECIP BRUSHING NRN NV FROM SUN AFTERNOON THRU MON AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...QPF TOTALS ARE LESS THAN 0.10 INCHES ACROSS HUMBOLDT AND
ELKO COUNTIES SO NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING OTHER THAN VERY ISOLATED
SHOWERS IN THOSE AREAS WITH LITTLE TO NO ACCUMULATION...LEFT POPS
BELOW SLT CHC CATEGORY ATTM. THE REST OF THE CWFA SHOULD REMAIN DRY
DURING THAT SAME SUN-MON TIMEFRAME. ZONAL FLOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS
THE REGION THRU TUES KEEPING NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEVADA DRY...WITH
MORNING LOW TEMPS ABOUT 5 DEGREES F ABOVE NORMAL AND AFTERNOON HIGHS
5 TO 10 DEGREES F ABOVE NORMAL. MADE ONLY MINOR TWEAKS TO TEMPS AND
POPS. AWG &&

.AVIATION...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SNOW/RAIN SHOWERS ARE PERSISTING
ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN NEVADA AND NORTHERN UTAH THIS MORNING.
GREATEST CONCERN FOR CONTINUED SNOW SHOWERS ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE IN
KSLC AREA...EASTERN WHITE PINE AND EASTERN ELKO COUNTIES...WHERE
INTERMITTENT IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED IN TWEB 383 SLC-EKO...AND
THE ELY-EKO PORTION OF TWEB ROUTE 406. WIND DIRECTION ACROSS THE
REGION WILL BE GENERALLY OUT OF THE WEST-NORTHWEST. HIGHEST WIND
SPEEDS WILL BE IN THE VICINITY OF TPH AND ENV WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS
35 KNOTS...AND GENERALLY 15-25 KNOTS MOST OTHER AREAS. AWG
&&

.LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
