AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
309 PM PDT THU APR 2 2009

.SYNOPSIS...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING RAIN AND SNOW TO THE
AREA TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. RAIN WILL CHANGE TO ALL SNOW LATER
TONIGHT AS COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THE REGION. THIS STORM SYSTEM
WILL MOVE OUT OF THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT WITH A FEW LINGERING
SHOWERS ACROSS EASTERN NEVADA THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. ANOTHER
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING A THREAT OF RAIN AND SNOW TO THE
AREA TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN BUT DIFFER WITH SOME OF THE
DETAILS DURING THE NEXT 12-24 HRS MAINLY WITH THE PLACEMENT AND
AMOUNT OF MAX QPF OVER THE AREA. UPPER TROUGH  WILL DIG INTO THE
AREA TONIGHT FROM THE NORTHWEST. FIRST SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS NRN NV THIS EVENING. PRECIPITATION
WILL START OUT AS RAIN IN THE VALLEYS THEN CHANGE OVER TO SNOW AS
THE COLDER AIR ARRIVES. MODELS GENERALLY SHOWING AROUND 1/10 INCH
OF PRECIPITATION SO ONLY THINKING AROUND AN INCH OF SNOW IN THE
VALLEYS. A SECONDARY SHORT WAVE WILL DIG SEWD THROUGH WRN NV LATER
TONIGHT WHICH WILL SET UP A BAROCLINIC BAND ACROSS WEST CENTRAL
NV. BOTH THE GFS/NAM SHOW THIS FEATURE AND SHOW AROUND TWO TO
THREE TENTHS INCH OF PRECIPITATION. THE ECMWF ALSO HAS THIS BAND
BUT EXTENDS IT FURTHER NEWD INTO NERN NV...BUT SHOWS A LITTLE LESS
PRECIPITATION. CONSIDERING ALL THIS THINK SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL
GENERALLY BE IN THE 2-3 INCH RANGE ACROSS SRN LANDER/SRN EUREKA
AND WRN WHITE PINE COUNTIES AND 1 TO 2 INCHES ACROSS NERN NV WITH
LESS THAN 1 INCH OVER NWRN NV. UPPER TROUGH SLOWLY MOVES ACROSS
THE FCST AREA FRIDAY WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWERS
EXPECTED WITH AMOUNTS MOSTLY LESS THAN 1 INCH. WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BRING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SNOW
SHOWERS TO FAR ERN NV FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE THE
SYSTEM FINALLY MOVES FAR ENOUGH EAST TO END ANY LINGERING SHOWERS.

AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS NRN NYE COUNTY FRIDAY MORNING A
STRONG SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL DEVELOP BEHIND THE FRONT WITH
NORTHWEST WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 50 MPH EXPECTED.
THEREFORE HAVE POSTED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THAT AREA ON FRIDAY.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. THE FORECAST FOR THIS
PERIOD STARTS OFF WITH A SHARP UPPER RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE REGION.
THIS WILL RESULT IN FAIR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS SUNDAY NIGHT. WINDS
WILL START TO INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH ON MONDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL
LOW OFF THE CA COAST APPROACHES. HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE ECMWF IN
REGARDS TO THE TIMING OF THIS UPPER LOW MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. THE
GFS AND ITS ENSEMBLES ARE CONSIDERABLY QUICKER WITH THE LOW...WHILE
THE ECMWF/ECMWF ENS/UKMET/CANADIAN ARE ALL SLOWER. AGREE WITH HPC
THAT THE SLOWER SOLUTION IS THE MORE LIKELY ONE. THIS RESULTS IN
WARMING TEMPERATURES THROUGH MONDAY...BUT THEN A COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE LATE TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT. HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY. THUNDER MAY BE A
POSSIBILITY...BUT GIVEN UNCERTAINTY DID NOT MENTION AT THIS TIME.
TEMPERATURES COOL FOR THE END OF THE WEEK...WITH VALLEY HIGHS IN THE
MID 40S TO MID 50S FOR THE MOST PART.
&&

.AVIATION...SCATTERED SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. BELIEVE THESE DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO
THE EVENING HOURS...WITH PRECIPITATION FOCUSING MAINLY ALONG THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY LATER IN THE NIGHT. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SOME SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE AT KELY LATE NIGHT AND TOMORROW MORNING.
ALSO...THE WINDS TOMORROW AT KTPH WILL BE RATHER STRONG...30-35 KTS
OR SO IN THE AFTERNOON...WITH HIGHER GUSTS.
&&

.LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WIND ADVISORY FROM 11 AM TO 10 PM PDT FRIDAY FOR NVZ013.
