AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
940 AM PST WED JAN 2 2008

.SYNOPSIS...MID AND HIGH LEVEL PACIFIC MOISTURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION TODAY AND THURSDAY...PRODUCING CONSIDERABLE HIGH CLOUDS. A
SERIES OF PACIFIC STORMS WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT THE ENTIRE AREA FRIDAY
AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THESE STORMS WILL BRING VERY HEAVY
SNOW TO THE SOUTHERN SIERRA...AND A GOOD CHANCE OF VALLEY RAIN AND
MOUNTAIN SNOW TO THE REST OF THE REGION.
&&

.UPDATE...THE GOING FORECAST FOR TODAY IS GENERALLY IN LINE WITH THE
THE WEATHER PICTURE SHOWN BY THE LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY AND
OBSERVATIONS. THE 12Z DRA SOUNDING SHOWED A STRONG INVERSION FROM
ABOUT 800-750 MB SO TEMPERATURES AROUND 7K FEET SHOULD BE NEAR
VALLEY READINGS TODAY. THE 12Z GFS AND NAM REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH
THE UPCOMING MAJOR PATTERN CHANGE AS A STRONG PACIFIC STORM DEVELOPS
AND IMPACTS THE REGION FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. A FEW REFINEMENTS SHOULD
EMERGE FOR THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE BUT THE OVERALL FORECAST TRENDS
LOOK GOOD BASED ON THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE. NO UPDATES PLANNED
THIS MORNING.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...250 AM PST...SHORT TERM...
SATELLITE SHOWS VEIL OF HIGH CLOUDS COVERING OUR AREA NORTH OF THE
WELL DEFINED MID LEVEL CIRCULATION MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN BAJA.
VERY DRY AIR REMAINS IN PLACE AT THE SURFACE WITH DEWPOINTS AT OR
BELOW 10F PRETTY MUCH AREAWIDE. NOT MUCH TO TALK ABOUT TODAY WITH
TEMPERATURES BEING THE MAIN CHALLENGE. UNDERCUT MOS IN THE VALLEYS
WITH LITTLE OR NO SURFACE WIND EXPECTED AND HIGH CLOUDS FURTHER
REDUCING RADIATION RECEIVED FROM THE WEAK EARLY JANUARY SUN.
TOMORROW...HIGH CLOUDS WILL THICKEN AS THE FIRST WEAK WAVE
APPROACHES. WITH EACH PASSING MODEL RUN...THIS WAVE LOOKS WEAKER AND
WEAKER. HAVE TRENDED POPS LOWER...AND BELIEVE THIS TREND WILL NEED
TO CONTINUE. THIS FIRST WAVE IS ONLY THE WARMUP ACT FOR THE MAIN
SHOW WHICH BEGINS FRIDAY. EXTREMELY POWERFUL STORM NEARS 45N 130W
FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE TAP AND STRONG JET
SLAMMING INTO THE SIERRA. HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE OTHER STORM SIMILAR TO
THIS ONE IN FIVE YEARS HERE...JANUARY 7-10 2005. SUBTROPICAL
MOISTURE...STRONG AND VERY DEEP DYNAMIC LIFT WITH MAXIMUM UPWARD
MOTION CENTERED IN OR NEAR THE -10C TO -18C FAVORED ZONE FOR
DENDRITIC SNOW CRYSTAL GROWTH...PLUS PLENTY OF OROGRAPHIC LIFTING
ALL SPELLS VERY HEAVY SNOW. THE JANUARY 2005 STORM DUMPED 54 INCHES
IN ASPENDELL...AND EXPECT SIMILAR MAGNITUDE STORM TOTALS BY THE TIME
THIS ONE IS FINISHED. WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN PLACE. BEST
PRECIP CHANCES WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD INTO THE MOJAVE DESERT AS THE
SHORT TERM DRAWS TO A CLOSE EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.

.LONG TERM...FOR THE PERIOD BEGINNING SATURDAY MORNING...LONGWAVE
TROUGHING ALONG THE WESTERN CONUS WILL HELP BRING PLENTY OF MOISTURE
ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE WEEKEND. FAVORABLE JET DYNAMICS FOR MUCH
OF THE WEEKEND WILL SUPPORT HEAVY PRECIPITATION IN THE SIERRA AND AT
LEAST MODERATE PRECIP ELSEWHERE IN THE CWA FOR PERIODS OF TIME...UP
UNTIL ABOUT MONDAY MORNING. OVERALL...LITTLE CHANGE WAS NEEDED TO
THE INHERITED FORECAST...WITH MODELS CONTINUING TO SHOW GREAT RUN TO
RUN CONTINUITY. BY MONDAY...TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS IN THE EASTERN
SIERRA ZONES MAY BE IN THE 4-5 FOOT RANGE.  THE BRUNT OF THE
SNOWFALL LOOKS LIKE IT WILL ALREADY BE OCCURRING BY THE BEGINNING OF
THE PERIOD WITH A LARGE AREA OF -20 OMEGA VALUES COINCIDING WITH THE
DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE. PRECIP/SNOW AMOUNTS EAST OF THE SIERRA ZONES
GET A LITTLE DICEY WITHOUT GOOD FEEL FOR WHAT KIND OF PRECIP SHADOW
WE WILL SEE...BUT THINKING IS THAT WE SHOULD SEE ADVISORY SNOW
AMOUNTS AT A MINIMUM AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS WITH A SUBTROPICAL
MOISTURE TAP. RIDGING SHOULD BEGIN TO BUILD BACK IN FROM THE WEST
EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS AND HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS AROUND 20KFT WILL PERSIST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. NO
SIGNIFICANT WEATHER IS EXPECTED. A PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING
PRECIPITATION AND CLOUD COVER FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING THAT
WILL IMPACT OPERATIONS ALONG ALL APPROACH CORRIDORS AS WELL AS THE
MCCARRAN TERMINAL AREA.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...BROKEN HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE DAY WITH WINDS UNDER 10 KTS MOST AREAS EXCEPT GUSTS 15-20 KTS
POSSIBLE ALONG THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY DURING THE AFTERNOON. A
STRONG PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE FORECAST AREA
FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY.
&&

.VEF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NV...NONE.
AZ...NONE.
CA...WINTER STORM WATCH FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING FOR
     ZONES 519 AND 521.
