AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
310 PM PST FRI FEB 1 2008

SHORT TERM...
AFTER A RELATIVELY CALM 36 HOUR PERIOD ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRES WILL
BEGIN TO AFFECT WEATHER ACROSS NE CA AND WRN NV BY SAT AFTN INTO THE
EVNG AND OVERNIGHT HOURS BEFORE EXITING THE RGN ON SUN. MODEL TIMING
HAS BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH THIS SYSTEM FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF
DAYS SO WILL USE A CONSENSUS FOR TIMING ISSUES. QPF IS A BIT HIGHER
WITH THIS SYSTEM THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE FOR THE ENTIRE CWA...BUT
ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SIERRA.

WITH APPROACH OF 130 KT TO 140 KT JET INTO NRN CA BY LATE SAT MRNG
WOULD ANTICIPATE PCPN DVLPG ACROSS THE FAR NRN ZONES BY EARLY AFTN.
MODEL SOUNDINGS DO INDICATE A WEAK CRITICAL LEVEL ABOVE THE RIDGES
WITH MARGINAL INSTABILITY DVLPG BY MID AFTN WELL AHEAD OF THE PCPN
EAST OF THE SIERRA AS WELL. DO NOT ANTICIPATE HEAVIEST PCPN IN THE
AFTN...BUT DO THINK WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE. COMBINATION OF
GUSTY WINDS AND INCREASING SNOW AMOUNTS BY LATE AFTN ACROSS FAR NW
ZONES WARRANT ISSUING A WINTER STORM WARNING. ACROSS THE SURPRISE
VALLEY AND NRN WASHOE COUNTY ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE MARGINAL FOR A
WARNING BUT WITH WINDS INCREASING FEEL A WINTER STORM WARNING IS THE
WAY TO GO. WILL SPREAD WARNINGS SOUTH ALONG THE CREST THROUGH THE
LATE AFTN AND EARLY EVENING. ON THE LEE SIDE OF THE SIERRA INITIAL
CONCERN WILL BE WINDS AGAIN. AS STATED A WEAK CRITICAL LEVEL IS SEEN
IN MODEL SOUNDINGS...BUT SOUNDINGS BECOME SATURATED RATHER QUICKLY
IN THE EVENING. INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE ENOUGH BY EARLY EVENING
FOR SNOW TO SPILL INTO WRN NV. WINDS WILL BE MARGINAL FOR AN
ADVISORY ALONG THE SIERRA FRONT AND SOUTH...WHILE ONLY PYRAMID LAKE
RGN LIKELY TO GET STRONGEST WINDS IN THE BASIN AND RANGE ZONE. WILL
GO WITH A WIND ADVISORY FOR RENO/CARSON CITY AREA FOR EARLY AFTN
INTO THE EARLY EVNG HOURS AND LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR PYRAMID LAKE.
FARTHER SOUTH WILL MENTION WIND ADVISORY A LITTLE LATER TIMING THAN
RENO/CARSON CITY AREA.

AS SNOW SPREADS INTO WRN NV OVERNIGHT WILL SEE A DECREASE IN THE
WINDS BUT SOME BLOWING SNOW STILL LIKELY. WHILE ACCUMULATIONS WILL
BE HIGHER THAN PREVIOUS STORM MOST AREAS WILL SEE ONLY MARGINAL
ADVISORY CRITERIA BASED STRICTLY ON SNOW. FOR NOW WILL LEAVE THIS TO
SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS TO DECIDE ON SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY FROM
LATE SAT EVNG INTO EARLY SUN MRNG. ACCUMULATIONS IN THE SIERRA
THROUGH SUN MRNG WILL BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR WARNINGS. WITH
SNOW TO WATER RATIOS APPROACHING 20:1 ACCUMULATIONS MAY REACH
UPWARDS OF 3 FEET IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS WHILE 12 TO 18 INCHES AT
LAKE LEVEL IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. FOR MONO COUNTY SNOW WILL
PERSIST A BIT LONGER INTO SUNDAY EVENING AND GUSTY WINDS WILL BRING
ABOUT THE LIKELIHOOD OF NEAR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AT TIMES AGAIN.

RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD IN LATE SUN INTO MON WITH SNOW TAPERING TO
