AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
905 PM PST THU JAN 3 2008

.UPDATE...
MESOSCALE BAND OF SN MOVED THROUGH THE TRK-TVL AREAS EARLIER THIS
EVENING (5-6PM) YIELDING A COUPLE INCHES OF SNOW IN THE VALLEY
AREAS NEAR TRK/TAHOE. INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THIS BAND WAS
ACCOMPANIED BY A TEMPORARY SLACKENING OF THE WINDS...EVEN HERE IN
THE RENO AREA. PERHAPS ASSOCIATED WITH A BRIEF WEAKENING OF THE
STATIC STABILITY/MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTION. WEVE SEEN SUBSTANTIAL GUSTS
ALREADY THIS AFTERNOON...HIGHEST 87 MPH NEAR GARDERVILLE. MEASURED
66 MPH GUST IN SPARKS AROUND 230 PM...BLOWING AROUND GARBAGE CANS ON
TRASH DAY.

HAVE MADE RELATIVELY MINOR TWEAKS TO OVERNIGHT LOWS PER
OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS. BASED ON RECENT RUN OF 8KM WRF AND OBS...HAVE
TONED DOWN WINDS THROUGH THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS AND THEN LET THEM
INCREASE AGAIN TOWARD 12Z/FRI. BY THAT TIME...MOUNTAIN TOP INVERSION
SIGNAL STRENGTHENS AND 700MB WINDS INCREASE SUBSTANTIALLY. BY
18Z/FRI THE LATEST GFS HAS 100KTS AT 700MB JUST WEST OF LAKE TAHOE.
MOST IMPRESSIVE HIGH WIND WARNING PRODUCTS LOOK GOOD AT THIS TIME.

MAIN FOCUS OF THIS UPDATE...WE WILL ALSO BE UPGRADING THE WINTER
STORM WATCH FOR CAZ070-NVZ005-NVZ003 TO WINTER STORM WARNINGS FOR
THE LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY MORNING PERIOD. ANALYSIS OF FRESH 0Z
NAM/GFS DATA INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST 4-6 SNOW DURING THIS
PERIOD AT THE VALLEY FLOORS...AT LEAST 8-12 IN THE FOOTHILLS.
SNOWFALL RATES COULD BE ON THE ORDER OF 2-3 PER HOUR FOR BRIEF
PERIODS. SHOULD PRECIP TYPE CHANGE OVER TO SNOW EARLIER THAN
CURRENTLY PLANNED 0Z-6Z/SAT TIMEFRAME...THEN AMOUNTS MAY BE MARKEDLY
HIGHER. WE WILL LEAVE THE WATCH UP FOR NVZ001-004 (LOL/NFL) DUE TO
MORE UNCERTAINTY REGARDING HOW MUCH SN THOSE AREAS WILL RECEIVE
FURTHER OUT INTO THE GREAT BASIN. MAY END UP BEING A SNOW/BLOWING
SNOW EVENT THERE...SIMILAR TO WHAT NWS ELKO HAS POSTED FOR HUMBOLDT
COUNTY.

ONE ITEM THAT WILL HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED DOWN THE ROAD IS POSSIBLY
EXTENDING THE EXPIRATION TIMES OF THE WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES.
RECENT RUNS OF THE GFS/NAM ARE SHOWING ANOTHER BURST OF MODERATE TO
HEAVY SN SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.

REMAINDER OF THINKING REMAINS THE SAME AS ADEPTLY ADDRESSED BELOW.
UPDATED PRODUCTS OUT SHORTLY.

CS

&&

.SHORT TERM...
MAJOR WINTER STORM STILL ON TRACK TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON THE
REGION. SEE ALL THE SUPPLEMENTAL STATEMENTS...WATCHES...AND WARNINGS
THAT ARE OUT. ALSO SEE THE LINKS FROM THE TOP OF OUR HOMEPAGE FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION...WINTER SAFETY TIPS...AND LATEST STORM
REPORTS.

WEAK VORT MAX PASSED OVER NRN CA/NV THIS MORNING WITH THE STRONGER
INITIAL UPPER WAVE CURRENTLY MOVING INTO NRN CA. THIS IS SPREADING
LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIP INTO THE SIERRA NORTH OF LAKE TAHOE.
CURRENT SNOW LEVEL ESTIMATES BASED ON MOUNTAIN TEMPS AND UPSTREAM
PROFILERS PUT THE SNOW LINE AROUND 6000 FEET NEAR LAKE TAHOE AND
AROUND 5000 FEET IN THE NRN SIERRA. SNOW LEVELS SHOULD CHANGE VERY
LITTLE OVERNIGHT AS THE INITIAL WAVE MOVES THROUGH. STILL EXPECTING
2 TO 5 INCHES ALONG THE SIERRA CREST FROM THIS WAVE WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS.

THE BIG STORM MOVES IN QUICKLY FRIDAY MORNING. THIS SYSTEM IS
CURRENTLY AT 40N 135W. SATELLITE DERIVED PARAMETERS FROM THE
VICINITY OF THIS STORM SHOW JET LEVEL WINDS OF OVER 200 KTS WITH TPW
VALUES AROUND 1.25 INCHES. IF ANYTHING THIS IS A LITTLE WETTER AND
WINDIER THAN MODELS ARE INITIALIZING. WAA AND ISENTROPIC LIFT PICKS
UP OVER THE SIERRA AFTER MIDNIGHT WHICH WILL INCREASE PRECIP RATES
AND BEGIN TO RAISE THE SNOW LEVELS. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT SNOW
LEVELS WILL MAX OUT IN THE CENTRAL AND NRN SIERRA BY MID-MORNING
FRIDAY BEFORE HEAVIER PRECIP MOVES IN AND BRINGS THE SNOW LEVELS
BACK DOWN. SNOW LEVELS SHOULD MAX OUT AROUND 7000 FEET NEAR LAKE
TAHOE...POSSIBLY GETTING UP TO 7500 FEET FOR A FEW HOURS. SNOW
LEVELS SHOULD MAX OUT AT 6500 FEET IN THE NRN SIERRA AND 7500 FEET
IN THE SRN SIERRA. THE UPPER JET NOSES INTO THE SIERRA AROUND THIS
TIME BRINGING UNBELIEVABLY STRONG WINDS. EXPECTING TO SEE SUSTAINED
WINDS OVER THE SIERRA RIDGES AROUND 100 MPH WITH GUSTS SOMEWHERE
AROUND 150 MPH. EVEN LOWER ELEVATIONS WILL SEE GUSTS OF 60 TO 80 MPH.

THE HEAVIEST PORTION OF THE STORM MOVES INTO THE SIERRA MIDDAY
FRIDAY BRINGING SNOW LEVELS DOWN AND PHENOMENAL SNOWFALL RATES.
MODEL QPF CONTINUES TO INCREASE ONLY FURTHER INCREASING CONFIDENCE
IN THIS PORTION OF THE STORM. EXPECTING AROUND 6 INCHES OF SNOW PER
HOUR WITH THE POSSIBILITY FOR 8 INCHES PER HOUR DURING THIS PORTION
OF THE STORM. THIS COMBINED WITH THE UNUSUALLY STRONG WINDS WILL
CREATE VERY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS IN THE SIERRA. SNOW LEVELS CONTINUE
TO DROP FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES INTO
THE REGION. THE FRONT WILL ALSO BRING A DECREASE IN WINDS HOWEVER
GUSTS WILL STILL REMAIN OVER 100 MPH.

FOR WRN NEVADA VALLEYS AND LOCATIONS IN THE LEE OF THE SIERRA...THE
BIG STORY INITIALLY WILL BE THE STRONG WINDS. ALREADY GETTING WIND
REPORTS AROUND THE AREA OF GUSTS TO 70 MPH AND LOTS OF BLOWING DUST.
THIS IS SOMEWHAT SCARY AS THE WINDS ARE ONLY GOING TO INCREASE AND
BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THROUGH MIDDAY TOMORROW. THE STRONGEST WINDS
ARE EXPECTED AROUND 8 TO 10 AM FRIDAY AS PRECIP ALONG THE WRN SLOPES
OF THE SIERRA REALLY INCREASE. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE REPORTS
OF GUSTS TO 100 MPH IN WIND PRONE AREAS SUCH AS WASHOE VALLEY AND
GALENA NEAR RENO...AS WELL AS NEAR DOYLE AND HERLONG NORTH OF
RENO...AND WALKER...BRIDGEPORT...AND HAWTHORNE SOUTH OF RENO.
SPILLOVER INCREASES LATE FRIDAY MORNING BRINGING A LITTLE LESS WIND.
THE COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO THE REGION FRIDAY AFTERNOON BRINGING
SIGNIFICANT SPILLOVER INTO THE LEE AND MUCH LIGHTER WINDS. SNOW
LEVELS DROP TO MOST FOOTHILLS LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND MOST VALLEY
FLOORS FRIDAY EVENING. ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED ON JUST
ABOUT ALL VALLEY LOCATIONS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...HOWEVER TOTAL
AMOUNTS ARE STILL UNCERTAIN SO WILL BE CONTINUING WITH THE WINTER
STORM WATCH FOR THE VALLEYS. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS AT RENO INDICATE 8 TO
10 INCHES...HOWEVER STILL A LITTLE SKEPTICAL OF THIS AS QUESTIONS ON
CHANGE OVER TO SNOW AND POST-FRONTAL PRECIP AMOUNTS REMAIN. CURRENT
THINKING IS AROUND 6 INCHES FOR VALLEYS AROUND RENO WITH UP TO A
FOOT ON FOOTHILL LOCATIONS. ACCUMULATIONS FURTHER TO THE EAST ARE
EVEN MORE UNCERTAIN AS SNOW LEVELS MAY STAY TOO HIGH FOR SIGNIFICANT
SNOWFALL.

THE MAIN FRONTAL BAND PUSHES SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA SATURDAY
MORNING ENDING THE WIDESPREAD PRECIP. VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL
REMAIN OVER THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING TRIGGERING
WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS. CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WILL ALSO BE
ENHANCED BY EMBEDDED VORT MAXIMA. ANY BREAK IN THE PRECIP WILL BE
VERY SHORT-LIVED AND ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL WILL CONTINUE OFF-AND-ON
THROUGH THE EVENING. THE NEXT UPPER WAVE MOVES INTO NRN CA SATURDAY
NIGHT BRINGING A RETURN TO THE WIDESPREAD STRATIFORM SNOWFALL. COLD
AIR MASS WILL MAKE FOR LOW SNOW LEVELS AND SPILLOVER SHOULD BE GOOD
WITH THIS PORTION OF THE STORM. NOT SURE HOW TO HANDLE THIS PORTION
OF THE STORM AND FUTURE SHIFTS WILL NEED TO MAKE THE DECISION. RIGHT
NOW LEANING TOWARDS JUST LUMPING THE WHOLE EVENT INTO ONE AS
ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE TIME FRAME. SHOWERS
SHOULD BEGIN TO TAPER OFF SUNDAY NIGHT AS COLD AND DRY NW FLOW SETS
UP OVER THE WEST COAST. JORDAN

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE AREA THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY.
AFTER THE STORM MOVES THROUGH OVERNIGHT SUNDAY...THERE ARE
SIGNIFICANT MODEL DIFFERENCES WITH TIMING OF ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS
THROUGH MID WEEK AND ALSO THE PATTERN LATE IN THE WEEK. MODELS ARE
IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH OVERRUNNING PRECIP IN WARM ADVECTION
OCCURRING MONDAY AFTERNOON OR MONDAY NIGHT WHICH WILL COULD BRING
ANOTHER ROUND OF ADVISORY OR LOW WARNING CRITERIA SNOW TO THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS IN THE SIERRA. SNOW LEVELS SHOULD COME UP IN WARM
ADVECTION...AND WOULD LIKELY BE NEAR LAKE LEVEL FOR A PERIOD OF TIME
BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES AND LOWERS SNOW LEVELS BACK DOWN
TO VALLEY FLOORS. THE MAIN QUESTION IS WHEN THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL
COME THROUGH...AND HOW MANY WILL FOLLOW. THE MODELS HAVE NEARLY NO
AGREEMENT PAST MONDAY. THE EUROPEAN BRINGS THE FIRST SYSTEM IN THE
EXTENDED THROUGH ON TUESDAY...WITH A PERIOD OF OVERRUNNING ON
MONDAY. THEN THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY WITH RIDGING TO FOLLOW FOR THE WEEKEND. THE GFS ON THE OTHER
HAND DOES SHOW THE OVERRUNNING MONDAY NIGHT BUT KEEPS THE
OVERRUNNING GOING LONGER THROUGH TUESDAY AND DOES NOT BRING A
SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM THROUGH TO DROP THE SNOW LEVELS UNTIL WEDNESDAY.
THE ENSEMBLES ARE ALSO NOT MUCH HELP. THEREFORE THE FORECAST WAS NOT
ALTERED TOO MUCH AND STILL TRYING TO INDICATE THE BEST CHANCE OF
PRECIP ON MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY...WITH LOWER POPS CONTINUED THROUGH
THURSDAY DUE TO UNCERTAINTY. TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE THE HIGHEST
ON TUESDAY AS WARM ADVECTION AND 60+ KTS OF WIND AT 700 MB MOVE INTO
THE AREA TO HELP BREAK INVERSIONS. TEMPERATURES WERE RAISED SLIGHTLY
INTO THE LOW 40S IN WRN NV WHICH IS WELL BELOW GUIDANCE.
TEMPERATURES WERE KEPT LOWER EVEN DUE TO WARMING ALOFT AND WINDS
SIMPLY DUE TO THE ASSUMPTION THAT THERE WILL BE SNOW ON THE GROUND.
TEMPERATURES WILL NEED TO BE ADJUSTED IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS DEPENDING
ON SNOW COVER. MCGUIRE
&&

.AVIATION...
WINDS INCREASED QUITE A BIT TODAY WITH WIDESPREAD GUSTS 35-45 KTS AT
KRNO/KTRK/KTVL. THESE WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT...MINUS A
SMALL WINDOW 04Z-10Z OR SO WHERE WINDS MAY DROP OFF TO NEAR 25-30
KTS. WINDS WILL PICK UP AGAIN BY 12Z AREA WIDE WITH GUSTS UP TO 50
KTS OR MORE OVER WRN NV THROUGH ALMOST 00Z SATURDAY. PRECIPITATION
WILL BE THE NEXT CONCERN. SNOW LEVELS HAVE INCREASED TO NEARLY 7000
FEET TODAY AND WILL LIKELY REMAIN NEAR OR ABOVE KTRK/KTVL THROUGH
THE NIGHT. THEREFORE ONLY 1-2 INCHES OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE IF SNOW
LEVELS DROP BRIEFLY IN HEAVY PRECIP OVERNIGHT...WITH MORE SNOW
EXPECTED AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS. THE BULK OF THE SNOW WILL BEGIN AFTER
18Z FRIDAY WHERE SNOWFALL RATES OF 3-5 INCHES PER HOUR ARE POSSIBLE
AND 1-2 FEET OF SNOW BY SATURDAY. WHITE OUT CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY
WITH CONTINUED FULL MTN OBSCUREMENT.

FOR KRNO...WIND GUSTS UP TO 35-45 KTS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
03Z...THEN A DECREASE POSSIBLE 03Z-10Z BEFORE WINDS BECOME STRONG
FRIDAY MORNING. ON FRIDAY WINDS GUSTING 50-60 KTS ARE EXPECTED WITH
SOME RAIN SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE MORNING.
PRECIPITATION WILL PICK UP IN THE AFTERNOON AND BECOME HEAVY BY
EVENING. 00Z-04Z RAIN WILL LIKELY CHANGE TO SNOW WITH TEMPERATURES
DROPPING TO THE LOW TO MID 30S. WET SNOW WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT
WITH 3-6 INCHES OF HEAVY WET SNOW EXPECTED TO ACCUMULATE ON GRASSY
SURFACES AND 2-4 INCHES ON PAVEMENT BY SATURDAY MORNING. MCGUIRE
