AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
324 PM PDT THU JUL 2 2009

.SHORT TERM...
CONVECTION HAS BEEN MORE ACTIVE TODAY FROM RENO-TAHOE SEWD ACROSS
DOUGLAS-LYON-MINERAL COUNTIES. STRONGEST CELLS FORMED IN RURAL
PORTIONS OF MINERAL COUNTY SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS AT SLIDE
MTN FINALLY SWITCHED TO WEST IN PAST HOUR AS THE BACK EDGE OF
CONVECTION APPEARS TO HAVE PUSHED EAST OF TRUCKEE...WHILE FARTHER
SOUTH IN MONO COUNTY ONLY A FEW CELLS REMAIN EAST OF HWY 395.
GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS WILL REMAIN A THREAT THRU EARLY EVENING
ESPECIALLY IN W-CNTRL NV NORTH OF HWY 50 WHERE DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR
MASS WILL INCREASE DOWNDRAFT MOMENTUM FROM ANY CELLS MOVING INTO
THIS AREA.

MOST ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET AS THE WEAK SHORTWAVE
TROF RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TSTMS EJECTS TO THE NORTHEAST...ALTHOUGH
SOME INSTBY IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO FAR NWRN NV AND SURPRISE VLY
OVERNIGHT AND FRI MORNING SO ISOLD TSTMS WERE MAINTAINED IN THOSE
AREAS.

FOR FRIDAY...REDUCED COVERAGE OF CONVECTION IS EXPECTED ALTHOUGH
STUBBORN WEAK LOW OVER NRN CA WILL KEEP THREAT OF SOME ACTIVITY
OVER FAR NERN CA AND NWRN NV. FARTHER SOUTH TO MINERAL-MONO
COUNTIES...A FEW SHORT LIVED CELLS ARE POSSIBLE...BUT ANYTHING
THAT FORMS WILL BE LESS INTENSE COMPARED TO TODAY. WITH DRIER AND
MORE STABLE AIR MASS ADVANCING INTO THE RENO-TAHOE ZONES AND NO
FORCING MECHANISMS INDICATED BY THE NAM AND GFS GUIDANCE...THE
MENTION OF TSTMS WAS REMOVED FOR THESE AREAS.

FOR THE INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND...DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION AS SW FLOW ALOFT PREVAILS WITH LITTLE
OR NO DYNAMIC FORCING. SOME LEFTOVER MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LEAD
TO SOME CUMULUS BUILDUPS SAT AFTERNOON MAINLY IN MINERAL-MONO
COUNTIES AND ALSO NEAR THE OREGON BORDER...BUT WARMER AIR ALOFT
SHOULD CAP VERTICAL CLOUD GROWTH. WHILE A BRIEF SHOWER CAN NOT BE
RULED OUT...THIS POTENTIAL IS TOO REMOTE TO INCLUDE IN THE
FORECAST TEXT. WINDS ON SATURDAY THE 4TH SHOULD BE ZEPHYR TYPE
BREEZES WITH GUSTS NEAR 25 MPH...WHICH MAY PERSIST UNTIL ABOUT 10
PM FOR THE RENO-SPARKS-CARSON AREAS BUT SHOULD DIMINISH BY DUSK
AROUND TAHOE. FOR SUNDAY...WIND GUSTS WILL INCREASE TO THE 30-35
MPH RANGE AS WEAK SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO THE NWRN US BRUSHES
ACROSS NERN CA-NWRN NV. MJD

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
THE MAIN CHANGES TO THE LONG TERM GRIDS WERE TO LOWER SKY COVER
(EXCEPT ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN CWA) AND RELATIVE HUMIDITIES.

A LARGE-SCALE UPPER TROUGH WILL BE HANGING AROUND ALONG THE WEST
COAST OR SLIGHTLY OFFSHORE THROUGH THE EXTENDED...WITH AN IMPULSE
EJECTING AROUND THE MAIN TROUGH LATE TUESDAY (GFS) OR WEDNESDAY
(ECMWF). THE IMPULSE WOULD AT MOST BRING A FEW SHOWERS TO THE FAR
NORTH...WITH VERY DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW ELSEWHERE TO WARD OFF
PRECIPITATION. THE MAIN STORY WILL BE THE COOLING TREND...WITH 70S
TO MID 80S IN THE VALLEYS TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY (5-10 DEGREES
BELOW AVERAGE). IT WILL ALSO TEND TO BE BREEZY WITH THE PERSISTENT
GRADIENT BETWEEN THE UPPER TROUGH AND A RIDGE OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST. SNYDER
&&

.AVIATION...
LIGHTER WINDS ALOFT THAN EXPECTED AND AN INCOMING DISTURBANCE ARE
ALLOWING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP FURTHER WEST THAN
PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED...WITH A LINE OF CONVECTION IN THE AREA OF
KTVL/KTRK/KRNO TO MOVE EAST OF KRNO (AND AFFECT THE AREA OF KLOL)
CIRCA 01Z. ALL STORMS COULD PRODUCE GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS...BUT THE
MAIN RISK FOR VERY GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS WILL BE EAST OF KRNO AND FROM
ABOUT KNFL NORTH...WHERE STRONGER STORMS COULD PRODUCE GUSTS TO
40-45 KTS AND VERY HEAVY RAIN.

FRIDAY...ANY THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE RESTRICTED TO NORTH AND EAST OF
A SUSANVILLE TO FALLON TO BRIDGEPORT LINE. SNYDER
