AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
250 PM PDT TUE JUL 10 2007
...CORRECTED FOR END TIME OF RED FLAG WARNING...
.SHORT TERM...
CONVECTION IS FIRING UP ALONG THE SIERRA AND IN THE WESTERN NV
VALLEYS MOVING NORTH TO NORTHWEST IN THE MOIST SOUTHEAST FLOW ALOFT.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CLEARLY DEPICTS MOISTURE PLUME MOVING INTO
CENTRAL CA AND AS FAR NORTH AS CENTRAL NEVADA. DEEPER MOISTURE WILL
BE CONFINED CLOSER TO THE LOW OFF THE COAST AND BENEATH BEST
DYNAMICS FROM SHORTWAVES ROTATING AROUND THIS LOW. EXPECT SCATTERED
CONVECTION TO CONTINUE THROUGH 06Z OR SO ALONG THE SIERRA AND JUST
TO THE EAST WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ELSEWHERE. STORMS WILL BE
WETTER ACROSS THE SIERRA AND DRIER AS YOU GO FURTHER EAST. SHEAR
PROFILES AND STRONG INSTABILITY SUGGEST THE POSSIBILITY FOR SEVERE
STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH THE PRIMARY CONCERN STRONG
OUTFLOW WINDS. CONTINUED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR BURN AREAS IN
TAHOE AND LASSEN COUNTIES AS ANY BRIEF HEAVY RAIN OVER THE ANGORA
BURN AREA OR ANTELOPE COMPLEX COULD DEFINITELY CAUSE PROBLEMS.
SOME OVERNIGHT CONVECTION MAY LINGER MAINLY OVER THE SIERRA THROUGH
LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY WED MORNING AS WOULD NOT TAKE MUCH ENERGY TO
GENERATE CONVECTION IN VERY MOIST AND CONTINUED UNSTABLE AIRMASS.
ANOTHER MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE IS DEPICTED BY BOTH THE GFS AND
NAM FOR TOMORROW. THIS WAVE WILL PUSH NORTH TO NEAR THE TAHOE BASIN
WED MORNING THEN NORTH OF I-80 BY LATE MORNING. THE GFS PUSHES THIS
SHORTWAVE TO THE ID/OR BORDER BY 00Z WHILE THE NAM HOLDS THE ENERGY
BACK ACROSS NORTHEAST CA AND NORTHERN NV THROUGH THE EVENING.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES (PW) WILL BE BETWEEN .8 - 1.0 INCHES
ACROSS NORTHWEST NV AND THE SIERRA. ALTHOUGH ENERGY FROM WEDNESDAYS
SHORTWAVE INDICATE BEST DYNAMICS UP TOWARD THE ID/OR BORDER DURING
STRONGEST DAYTIME HEATING...RE-EMERGENCE OF AFTERNOON WESTERLIES
WILL ALSO PLAY A ROLE IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. AS THE WESTERLIES
KICK IN TOMORROW AFTERNOON...EXPECT A STRONG CONVERGENCE ZONE TO
DEVELOP ALONG AND JUST EAST OF THE SIERRA FRONT. WITH HIGH PW
VALUES...TOMORROW LOOKS TO BE THE BEST SETUP FOR POTENTIAL FLASH
FLOODING AS THE THETA-E RIDGE EXTENDS FROM MONO COUNTY NORTH THROUGH
THE RENO-CARSON AREAS INTO EASTERN LASSEN AND NORTHERN WASHOE
COUNTIES. THIS IS A SCENARIO THAT HAS RESULTED IN LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING IN THE PAST AS THE PAH RAH...VIRGINIA...AND PINE NUT RANGES
ENHANCE CONVERGENCE AND LIFT. WILL ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE
SIERRA AND WESTERN NV ZONES JUST TO THE LEE OF THE SIERRA. MODERATE
STORM MOVEMENT MAY BE THE ONE FACTOR THAT LESSENS THE FLASH FLOOD
POTENTIAL TOMORROW.
THUNDERSTORMS COVERAGE WILL DECREASE TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK.
MOIST UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL PERSIST WITH IN WEAK SOUTHERLY FLOW BUT
NO STRONG FORCING MECHANISM IN PLACE FOR ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION.
BY FRIDAY ONLY ISOLATED CONVECTION IS EXPECTED ALONG THE HIGHWAY 50
CORRIDOR. EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BE HIGHER BY SEVERAL DEGREES
TONIGHT AS CLOUD COVER AND INCREASED WINDS INHIBIT RADIATIONAL
COOLING AND MAY SEE A FEW DEGREES DROP IN TEMPERATURES TOMORROW DUE
TO INCREASED CLOUD COVER. THUNDERSTORMS COVERAGE WILL DECREASE
TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. MOIST UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL PERSIST WITH
IN WEAK SOUTHERLY FLOW BUT NO STRONG FORCING MECHANISM IN PLACE FOR
ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION.
.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
LOWERED SKY COVER FOR THE NORTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE CWA...OTHERWISE
VERY FEW CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST.
THE DETERMINISTIC GFS RUN CONTINUES TO BE MORE AMPLIFIED WITH THE
WESTERN RIDGE...AND THEREFORE WARMER...THAN THE ECMWF...CANADIAN
SPAGHETTI PLOTS...AND THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN. THEREFORE...I KEPT THE
TREND OF BELOW DETERMINISTIC MOS TEMPERATURES (CLOSER TO THE GFS
ENSEMBLE MEAN TEMPS). I LEFT THE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SOUTH WITH SOME
UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE STRENGTH OF THE AFTERNOON WESTERLY FLOW. IF
THE ECMWF IS RIGHT...THE ENTIRE CWA WILL BE CONVECTION FREE BEYOND
SATURDAY WITH GOOD WESTERLY FLOW TO BLAST OUT INSTABILITY IN THE
FAVORED MONO-MINERAL CONVERGENCE ZONE. SNYDER
&&
.AVIATION...
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG KRNO-KBIH ROUTE BY
20-21Z AND THEN INCREASE IN BOTH AREAL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS
THEY SPREAD NORTHWARD ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN NEVADA...SIERRA AND
NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS
WITH STRONGER CELLS AS THEY TRACK GENERALLY NW-N AROUND 15KT.
OUTFLOW WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 45KT POSSIBLE. SNYDER
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
THUNDERSTORM EVENT UNDERWAY WITH RED FLAG WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR ALL
OF THE FORECAST AREA. BEST CHANCES FOR STORMS CONTINUE TO BE ALONG
THE SIERRA AND THE LOWER ELEVATIONS FROM EASTERN LASSEN COUNTY
SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE RENO-CARSON CITY AREA AND DOWN TO SOUTHERN
LYON AND WESTERN MINERAL COUNTY. HEAVY RAIN WILL BE LIMITED TO
AREAS DIRECTLY UNDER THE STORM CORES...OUTFLOW WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 40
AND 60 MPH AND PERHAPS SOME HAIL WITH THE STRONGEST CELLS.
FOR THIS EVENING OVER NORTHERN WASHOE...PERSHING AND CHURCHILL
COUNTIES COVERAGE WILL BE ISOLATED BUT THE OUTFLOW WIND GUSTS WILL
BE JUST AS STRONG.
THERE IS A CHANCE STORMS WILL CONTINUE DEEP INTO TONIGHT AS MOISTURE
AND INSTABILITY CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE AREAS FROM THE SOUTH.
A SECOND ROUND OF ACTIVE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TOMORROW AS A SECOND
BIG SPOKE OF ENERGY ROTATES AROUND THE LOW OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST
AND OVER WESTERN NEVADA. FORTUNATELY THE MOISTURE WILL BE HIGH
ENOUGH THAT DRY LIGHTNING WILL NOT BE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT. STORM
CORES ARE EXPECTED TO BE LARGER TOMORROW WITH THE INCREASED AMOUNT
OF MOISTURE...THUS THERE IS A LOWER CHANCE FOR LIGHTNING STRIKES
OUTSIDE OF THE CORES. HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE A LARGER PROBLEM
TOMORROW ALONG WITH GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS.
ISOLATED STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF THE
WEEK...WITH A DRIER FLOW POSSIBLE BY LATE THIS WEEKEND. BRONG
