AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
713 AM PST WED DEC 5 2007

.UPDATE...
SPOTTER REPORTS AND WEB CAMS SHOW AREAS OF DENSE
FOG...VISIBILITIES OF 1/4 MILE OR LESS...IN THE TAHOE BASIN
NORTHWARD INTO THE SIERRA VALLEY. THUS HAVE ISSUED A DENSE FOG
ADVISORY THROUGH 10 AM. EXTENT OF THE FOG MAY BE MUCH GREATER THAN
SATELLITE WILL SHOW DUE TO THE HIGH CLOUD COVER.

FOG IS ALSO EFFECTING PORTIONS OF THE RENO AREA...BUT NOT HAVING
MUCH OF AN IMPACT ON THE MORNING COMMUTE. FOG WILL QUICKLY BURN
OFF WITH SOME WARMING BY LATE MORNING.

SIGNIFICANT STORM STILL FORECAST FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. WILL
DISCUSS THAT IN MORE DETAIL THIS AFTERNOON.  BRONG

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 AM PST WED DEC 5 2007/

SHORT TERM...
WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH CLOUDS
OVER THE CWA TODAY. BENEATH THE HIGHER CLOUDS PLENTY OF SURFACE
MOISTURE EXISTS FROM THE DECENT RAIN AMOUNTS IN THE SIERRA FROM
TAHOE NORTH TO ALLOW AREAS OF FOG AND STRATUS TO DEVELOP THIS
MORNING. THE LOWER CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE MORNING...AND
GRADUALLY LIFT BEFORE NOON. WEAK SHORTWAVES EMBEDDED IN THE
APPROACHING JET STREAM WILL PASS OVER NRN AREAS THIS AFTERNOON WITH
MAINLY CLOUDS EXPECTED. CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLD SHOWER...BUT MODELS
ARE KEEPING MOST MOISTURE JUST NORTH AND EAST OF THE AREA. OTHERWISE
THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE APPROACHING STORM.

THE POTENTIAL FOR THE STORM COMING IN FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY TO
PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL IN THE SIERRA LOOKS EVEN BETTER THIS
MORNING THAN IT HAS IN PAST RUNS. IN ADDITION WRN NV DOES NOT LOOK
LIKE IT WILL BE LEFT OUT. THE DEVELOPING LOW THAT IS DROPPING
SOUTHEAST FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA LOOKS TO HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF
MOVING OVER NW CA BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON...AND DROPPING SOUTHEAST
JUST INLAND AND MOVING OVER THE CENTRAL CA VALLEY AND SRN NV BY
FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS TRACK HAS SUPPORT FROM THE
OPERATIONAL GFS...AND FINALLY THE NAM. SOME OF THE GFS ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS AND THE OPERATIONAL EUROPEAN STILL FAVOR A SLIGHTLY FURTHER
EAST TRACK...WHICH WOULD ONLY MEAN MORE SNOW FOR THE
AREA...ESPECIALLY WRN NV. THE CURRENT FORECAST WILL STILL FOLLOW THE
GFS FOR NOW. THERE ARE STILL MAJOR DIFFERENCES IN MOISTURE AND QPF
AMOUNTS BETWEEN THE GFS AND NAM...BUT THE WETTER GFS IS STILL
FAVORED. SOME OVERRUNNING AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM WILL PUSH LIGHT RAIN
AND SNOW INTO THE SIERRA THURSDAY MORNING...WITH INTENSITY AND AREAL
COVERAGE INCREASING AND SPREADING EAST INTO NV THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AND NIGHT AS THE LOW APPROACHES. WINTER STORM WATCHES WILL CONTINUE
FROM TAHOE SOUTH BEGINNING THURSDAY AFTERNOON...BUT A WATCH HAS ALSO
BEEN ADDED FOR LASSEN COUNTY AS THIS TRACK COULD BRING 6-12 INCHES
OF SNOW TO WRN LASSEN COUNTY. AS THE LOW DROPS SOUTH THURSDAY
EVENING INTO FRIDAY DYNAMICS GREATLY INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT
SNOW WILL INTENSIFY. THE 130 KT JET DROPS SOUTH WITH EVENTUALLY THE
ENTIRE CWA ON THE COLD SIDE OF THE JET WHERE ADDITIONAL DYNAMICS AND
INSTABILITY MAKE INTENSE BURSTS OF SNOW LIKELY...ESPECIALLY FROM
TAHOE SOUTH INTO MONO COUNTY. 1-2 FEET OF SNOW SEEMS A GOOD BET FOR
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 7000-8000 FEET FROM TAHOE SOUTH THROUGH FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.

THE MAIN QUESTION MARK STILL LINGERING IS HOW MUCH SNOW WILL FALL IN
WRN NV. INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE FIELDS LOOK TO ALLOW RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS TO MOVE INTO WRN NV THURSDAY AFTERNOON...BUT LIFT GREATLY
INCREASES ONCE MORE FAVORABLE DYNAMICS AND COLDER AIR MOVE INTO WRN
NV THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. A SURFACE LOW IS ALSO
FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER CENTRAL NV WHICH WILL FURTHER ENHANCE
PRECIP DEVELOPMENT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE LOW. A SIGNIFICANT BAND
OF SNOW MAY VERY WELL DEVELOP NEAR THE RENO AREA EAST TO LOVELOCK
AND TRACK SOUTH THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. SNOW LEVELS WILL LIKELY DROP
TO VALLEY FLOORS OVERNIGHT THURSDAY ESPECIALLY IF HEAVY PRECIP
DEVELOPS. 700 MB TEMPERATURES -8 TO -10 ALONG THE SIERRA AND INTO
WRN NV. SINCE THE LOWER ELEVATIONS ARE MORE SENSITIVE TO SMALL
DEVIATIONS IN STORM TRACK...THE SNOWFALL POTENTIAL WILL BE ADDRESSED
IN A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR NOW. WINTER WEATHER STATEMENTS
MAY VERY WELL BE NEEDED FOR AREAS IN WRN NV...BUT LATER SHIFTS WILL
HAVE TO ANALYZE THIS POTENTIAL AND THE AREAL EXTENT AS THE EVENT
NEARS. ANOTHER CONCERN WILL THE BE THE EVENING COMMUTE ON THURSDAY
AND THE MORNING COMMUTE ON FRIDAY...COULD BE A MESSY 12 HOURS
OTHERWISE...THE SNOW SHOULD TAPER TO SHOWERS FRIDAY NIGHT AS MUCH
COLDER AND DRIER AIR PUSHES INTO THE AREA. BENINATO

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THIS WEEKEND WITH THE LOW FOR LATE WEEK
BEING REINFORCED BY A WAVE IN NORTHERLY FLOW FOR SAT NIGHT. TEMPS
ALOFT ARE EXPECTED TO BE COLD WITH -12 AT 700 PER GFS/EURO AND TO
-28C. EXPECT SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS MAINLY CLOSE TO THE DEPARTING
LOW. HOWEVER...WITH THESE COLD TEMPS...LAKE/700 DELTA TS ARE RUNNING
ABOUT 18C SO LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL BE A POSSIBILITY. WINDS TO 500 MB
ARE GENERALLY LIGHT NORTH SO HAVE ADDED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW
SHOWERS NEAR TAHOE AND PYRAMID FOR SAT AFTERNOON. HAVE GONE DRY FOR
SAT NIGHT AS WIND SHEAR MAY INCREASE...BUT WITH TEMPS REMAINING COLD
ALOFT...LAKE EFFECT IS AGAIN POSSIBLE FOR THE DIURNAL MAXIMUM. BY
SUNDAY...IN THE WAKE OF THE LAST SHORT WAVE...WINDS WILL INCREASE
AND END ANY LES. AS FAR AS TEMPS...THEY WILL BE 10-15 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL. IT COULD BE EVEN LOWER IF THERE IS SIGNIFICANT SNOW
COVER...AND THE ALMOST -20C TEMPS AT 700 MB ARE CORRECT ON THE EURO.

FOR MONDAY/TUESDAY...A POSITIVE TILT RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD INTO
THE REGION WITH WARMING TEMPS MAINLY MOUNTAINS. EXPECT LOW-LEVEL
INVERSIONS IN THE LEE-SIDE VALLEYS TO INHIBIT MUCH WARMING
ESPECIALLY WITH ANY SNOW COVER. HAVE KEPT TEMPS 5-10 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL INTO TUESDAY. THE WAVE ORIGINALLY PROGGED FOR TUESDAY LOOKS
TO REMAIN WELL NORTH NOW AND IS WEAKER SO HAVE REMOVED WEATHER.
ALSO...WEST WINDS WILL ONLY BE 10-20 KTS...NOT NEARLY STRONG ENOUGH
TO SCOUR ANY INVERSIONS. WALLMANN

AVIATION...
SOME LOW/CLOUDS AND FOG WILL BE AN ISSUE FOR KTRK/KTVL THROUGH 17Z
AND SOME OTHER SIERRA VALLEYS. SLIDE MOUNTAIN DEWPOINTS ARE DROPPING
SO EXPECT THE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG TO BURN OFF QUICKLY WITH SOLAR
HEATING. OTHERWISE...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS ALL AREAS THROUGH 12Z THU
WITH CIGS 15000 FEET OR SO GRADUALLY LOWERING TO 5000 FEET...MAINLY
KTRK/KTVL.

THE NEXT STORM IS DUE TO ARRIVE BY 18Z THU AND LAST INTO 12Z FRI PER
LATEST MODEL TIMING. EXPECT HEAVY SNOW WITH IFR CIGS/VIS FOR
KTVL/KTRK WITH THIS STORM. KRNO WILL INITIALLY START AS RAIN...BUT
THERE IS A 60 PCT CHANCE OF IFR CIGS/VIS...POSSIBLY BELOW
