AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

315 PM PDT FRI APR 18 2008

...STRONG WINDS SATURDAY AND THEN COLD TEMPERATURES SUNDAY...

.SHORT TERM...
ADDRESSING NEAR TERM ISSUES...SO FAR LAKE WINDS HAVE NOT BEEN TOO
BAD...BUT WILL CONTINUE ADVISORIES THROUGH 9 PM PDT GIVEN
POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS OF 25KTS OR SO (BORDERLINE EVENT). GUSTS OF A
SIMILAR MAGNITUDE ARE EXPECTED INTO WRN NV VALLEYS THROUGH THE
EVENING. A FEW CU ARE POPPING UP IN NRN CWA ALONG AXIS OF
MOISTURE/WEAK INSTABILITY...BUT VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN
MINIMAL. SO FAR NOTHING REALLY GOING IN MINERAL COUNTY...AND GOES
SOUNDER DISPLAYING MEAGER INSTABILITY...SO NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING
MORE THAN A FEW FLAT CU.

MAIN FOCUS WILL BE LARGE SCALE TROF DROPPING INTO THE AREA THIS
WEEKEND. SREF SOLUTIONS ARE IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH THIS
FEATURE...ONLY MODERATE SPREADS AT BASE OF TROF INDICATING A LITTLE
UNCERTAINTY IN AMPLITUDE/DIGGING...BUT NOTHING MAJOR. 500MB HEIGHT
ANOMALIES ARE CONSIDERABLE...2-3 SD BELOW NORMAL.

WIND THREAT IS THERE SAT INTO SAT NIGHT...ALTHOUGH CERTAINLY NOT A
BLOCKBUSTER EVENT. WHILE 700MB WIND SPEEDS THEMSELVES ARE NOT
EXCESSIVE (40-45KTS/ZONAL WIND ANOMALIES 1-1.5 SD ABV NORMAL)...SFC
PRES GRADIENT ASSOC WITH FRONT IS IMPRESSIVE...PARTICULARLY FROM
RNO-NFL SOUTHWARD...PEAKING OUT 6Z/SUN IN MONO-MINERAL COUNTY.
ASSOC WITH SHORT WAVE ROTATING THROUGH THE REGION...CROSS SECTIONS
INDICATE A TROPOPAUSE FOLD DOWN TO 500MB IN PV FIELDS...WHICH HAS
BEEN CORRELATED TO A FEW SIG WIND EVENTS IN THE PAST. ON THE FLIP
SIDE OF THE EQUATION...MTN TOP INVERSION SIGNALS ARE RELATIVELY WEAK
BETWEEN 600-700MB. LOCAL WRF RUN FOR SAT-SAT NIGHT IS SOMEWHAT
UNREMARKABLE FOR WIND GUST POTENTIAL BASED ON 30MB AGL WINDS. IT IS
SHOWING BROAD GUSTY WINDS FROM TAHOE EAST INTO RNO/LOL/NFL
ZONES...BUT A FEW AREAS HITTING ADVISORY LEVELS. MIX OF NAM/GFS
BUFKIT DIAGNOSTICS INDICATE GUSTS UP TO 40 KTS AT RNO/TVL/LOL.

GIVEN AFOREMENTIONED PARAMETERS AND BLOWING DUST/SAND POTENTIAL HAVE
ELECTED TO POST A WIND ADVISORY FOR TAHOE-RENO-NFL/LOL ZONES.
FURTHER SOUTH IN MONO-MINERAL COS...WILL GO WITH A HIGH WIND
WARNING...LOCAL WRF IS SHOWING MANY AREAS REACHING WARNING LEVEL
GUSTS SOUTH OF A LEE VINING-HAWTHORNE LINE...PARTICULARLY AFTER
00Z/SUN WHEN SFC PRES GRADIENT IS MAXIMIZED. CROSS SECTIONS SHOW A
MTN WAVE BREAKING IN VICINITY OF MMH 00-03Z/SUN...WHICH WOULD
ENHANCE HIGH WIND POTENTIAL...THOUGH ONLY MODERATE STATIC STABILITY
NEAR MTN TOP MAY MODULATE WHERE WAVE BREAKS/HIGH WIND SURFACING
LOCATION. SFC PRES GRAD REMAINS ENHANCED ACROSS MONO-MINERAL COS
INTO SUNDAY...SO WILL CONTINUE STRONG GUSTY WINDS THERE BUT NO
HEADLINES.

PRECIP WISE...INITIAL BAND OF 700MB FRONTOGENESIS EXPECTED TO
GENERATE A BAND OF PRECIP OVER NRN ZONES AROUND DAYBREAK TOMORROW.
AS TROF SETTLES SOUTHWARD SAT INTO SAT NIGHT...MESOSCALE BANDS OF
FRONTOGENESIS SHOULD HELP CREATE LOCALIZED AREAS OF PRECIP...BUT
LOCATION/TIME PREDICTABILITY OF THOSE IS LOW. PRIMARY WAVE MOVING
THRU SAT NIGHT COULD BRING THE OVERALL BEST CHC OF PRECIP TO
CNTRL/SRN SECTIONS OF THE CWA...COUPLED WITH A PERIOD OF SATURATION
IN THE ICE CRYSTAL GENERATION LAYERS (-12 TO -18C) AND INSTABILITY
WITH COLD POOL ALOFT. INTO SUN...INSTABILITY WILL BE MAIN CONTRIBUTOR
TO PRECIP ACROSS NRN ZONES UNDER COLD POOL...EVEN SOME ICE PELLET
SHOWERS (OR THUNDER??) POSSIBLE. WILL CONTINUE SLT CHCS INTO
MONDAY ACROSS NRN ZONES WITH UPPER TROF IN VICINITY.

TEMPERATURES WILL DROP DRAMATICALLY COMPARED TO THE PAST COUPLE
DAYS. TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL BE TRICKY...OF COURSE DEPENDING ON
FRONTAL SPEED. SREF PLUME DIAGRAMS OF 2M TEMPS SUGGEST QUASI-STEADY
TEMPS IN THE NRN ZONES...BUT MORE DIURNAL WARMING IN THE CNTRL/SRN
ZONES SAT AHEAD OF THE FRONT. WILL LEAN TOWARD THIS...QUITE A
GRADIENT IN MAX TEMPS FROM N-S ACROSS THE CWA TOMORROW ON SUNDAY...
WITH 700MB TEMP ANOMALIES 2-3 SD BELOW NORMAL IN THE GFS ENSEMBLE
MEANS...IT WILL BE A COLD/RAW DAY. GFS/NAM MOS GUIDANCE SHOWING
HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 40S. AM INCLINED TO LOWER CURRENT FORECAST
HIGHS A COUPLE DEGREES. IF WE END UP WITH BKN-OVC CLOUD COVER
SUNDAY...VALLEYS STAY IN THE 30S ALL DAY...BUT WITH EXPECTATION OF
AT LEAST SOME MID-APRIL SUNSHINE WILL ALLOW FORECAST HIGHS TO EASE
INTO THE LOWER 40S AT MOST VALLEY LOCATIONS IN WRN NV. RECORD LOW
MAX AT RNO FOR SUNDAY IS 35 SET IN 1963. CS

.LONG TERM...
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED GRIDS WERE TO UP POPS
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AND RAISE HIGHS A GOOD BIT NEXT FRIDAY.

THE DETERMINISTIC ECMWF...GFS...AND GFS ENSEMBLES HAVE COME IN
REMARKABLE AGREEMENT WITH UNDERCUTTING A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED RIDGE OVER
ALASKA TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING. WHILE THE STRENGTH OF
THE UNDERCUTTING DISTURBANCE IS STILL DEBATED AMONG MODELS...THE
FACT THAT PRECIP IS COMING (AT LEAST FOR THE SIERRA AND FAR WESTERN
NEVADA) IS BECOMING MORE CLEAR. THEREFORE...I BUMPED UP POPS TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY TO CHANCE IN THE SIERRA WITH SLIGHT CHANCES
EXTENDING OUT INTO THE WESTERN GREAT BASIN.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...AN UPPER RIDGE SLOWLY BUILDS OVER THE
REGION...WITH NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT MODIFYING A RISE IN TEMPS FROM
WEDNESDAY TO THURSDAY (STILL PROJECTING NEAR TO A FEW DEGREES BELOW
AVERAGE FOR HIGHS THURSDAY). BY FRIDAY...THE RIDGE SETTLES OVERHEAD
FOR A NICE WARM UP INTO THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S FOR THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS. SNYDER

.AVIATION...
SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS GUSTING 20-25 KTS FOR NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA
AND WESTERN NEVADA TO DIMINISH BELOW RIDGES (WITH SIERRA RIDGES
REMAINING 20-25 KTS GUSTING TO 40-45 KTS) THIS EVENING BEFORE
PICKING UP SATURDAY MORNING AHEAD OF STRONG COLD FRONT.

FOR KTVL/KTRK/KRNO/KLOL...SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS TO INCREASE TO
15-25 KTS WITH GUSTS 30-40 KTS AFTER 18-20Z SATURDAY...WITH STRONG
RIDGE WINDS INDUCING ROTORS IN THE LEE OF THE SIERRA. THERE MAY BE A
PERIOD OF LLWS FOR KRNO/KTRK/KTVL APPROX 09Z-16Z SATURDAY IF VALLEY
WINDS DIMINISH SUFFICIENTLY OVERNIGHT. THE STRONGEST SURFACE WINDS
NEAR TAF SITES SHOULD BE BETWEEN 21Z SATURDAY AND 03Z SUNDAY AS THE
COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. SNYDER
