AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
254 AM PDT TUE JUN 2 2009

.SHORT TERM...
ACTIVE THUNDERSTORM PATTERN CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION...WITH AN
UPPER LOW SPINNING OFF THE CA COAST AND SENDING SEVERAL SHORTWAVE
THROUGH THE AREA. CURRENTLY...THERE IS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING
ACROSS THE RENO-TAHOE AREA...KICKING OFF SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS VERY
EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS SHORTWAVE SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY
YESTERDAY...AND COULD HAVE REALLY ENHANCED THE STORMS ACROSS OUR
AREA...BUT JUST DIDNT GET HERE IN TIME. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL BE
PUSHING OUT OF THE AREA THROUGH THE REST OF THIS MORNING AND WONT
REALLY MAKE MUCH OF AN IMPACT TO OUR WEATHER OTHER THAN SOME
ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS THIS MORNING.

THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING EACH DAY EVEN WITHOUT THE NEED OF
AN UPPER LEVEL FEATURE...BUT IF AN UPPER FEATURE WERE TO LINE UP
WITH AFTERNOON INSTABILITY...WE COULD EXPECT TO SEE SOME SEVERE
STORMS. FLASH FLOODING DOES REMAIN A THREAT THROUGH THE SHORT
TERM...BUT WITH STORMS HAVING MOVEMENT OF 10-15 KTS...THIS MAY LIMIT
HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS FROM STAYING OVER ANY ONE AREA AT A TIME.
TRAINING STORMS MAY STILL POSE A PROBLEM FOR FLASH FLOODS AND WILL
BE MONITORED THIS AFTN.

FOR TODAY...THUNDERSTORMS WILL MAINLY STICK CLOSER TO THE LOW...IN
THE EASTERN CA AND ALONG THE SIERRA FRONT. WIND SHEAR ALOFT
INCREASES AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES CLOSER TO THE CA SHORE. INSTABILITY
WILL INCREASE WITH DAYTIME HEATING...SPREADING NUMEROUS TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA. STORMS WILL INITIATE OVER THE HIGH
SIERRA AND THEN SPREAD NORTH AND EAST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. BULK
SHEAR VALUES OF 35-40 KTS AND INSTABILITY OF 200-400 J/KG WILL
COMBINE FOR SOME MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS TODAY...WITH HEAVY
RAINFALL...SMALL HAIL...AND GUSTY WINDS. NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
TO GET AN ISOLATED SEVERE DEVELOPMENT TODAY...BUT NOT REALLY SEEING
ANY SIGNIFICANT UPPER LEVEL FEATURE THAT MAY PUSH CONVECTION TO THE
NEXT LEVEL TODAY.

WEDNESDAY...THE LOW CONTINUES TO SLOWLY PUSH INLAND...WITH THE JET
STREAM PUNCHING UP INTO THE WESTERN GREAT BASIN. THE LEFT EXIT
REGION OF THE JET WILL BE DIRECTLY OVER US...ENHANCING WIND SHEAR
AND DIFFLUENCE ALOFT. ALSO EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA WED
AFTN...A SHORTWAVE WILL BE ROUNDING OUT THE BASE OF THE TROUGH AND
THEN PUSHING UP THE SIERRA CREST WITH A NEGATIVE TILT. MODEL
SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO LOOKS VERY FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE DEVELOPMENT
WITH LONG CURVED HODOGRAPHS. BULK SHEAR VALUES OF 35-40 KTS WILL
COMBINE WITH BETTER INSTABILITY 300-500 J/KG. THIS MEANS THAT WE
SHOULD SEE A BETTER SHOT AT GETTING SOME SEVERE DEVELOPMENT WITH
HAIL AND STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS. DYNAMICS FROM THE SHORTWAVE WILL
KEEP CONVECTION GOING WELL INTO WED NIGHT.

THURSDAY...UPPER LOW BEGINS TO MOVE OVER THE AREA...WITH TEMPS ALOFT
DROPPING TO BELOW ZERO AT 700MB. THIS WILL KEEP US UNSTABLE ENOUGH
TO GET SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...BUT WITH THE JET
MOVING OUT OF THE AREA THE SEVERE THREAT WILL BE LESS. HOON

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED.  MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH
SUNDAY MORNING FINALLY EJECTING THE UPPER LOW OFF THE CA COAST.
UPPER LOW WILL MOVE ONSHORE FRIDAY AND BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF WANT
TO SPLIT THE LOW INTO TWO PIECES...ONE WHICH WILL TRACK QUICKLY
NORTHEAST OF THE AREA...AND THE OTHER WHICH WILL MOVE SLOWLY OUT OF
SOUTHERN CA BY SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND COLD POOL DRIVEN INSTABILITY WILL LEAD TO
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FORECAST AREA FRIDAY AS THE UPPER
LOW SPLITS OVERHEAD.  BEST AREA FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT STILL
APPEARS TO BE WITH THE NORTHERN SPLIT FRIDAY AFTERNOON FROM
RENO-TAHOE NORTHWARD INTO NORTHEASTERN CA AND NORTHERN NV.  700 MB
TEMPS ARE FORECAST TO DROP TO NEAR 0C BY FRIDAY EVENING LOWERING
SNOW LEVELS TO 7500 TO 8000 FT.  TEMPERATURES WILL TOP OUT FRIDAY
AFTERNOON IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S IN WESTERN NV WITH MUCH COOLER
TEMPERATURES OVER THE SIERRA.

SHOWERS LOOK TO CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY MORNING AS THE NORTHERN WAVE
EXITS THE AREA TO THE NORTHEAST.  SOUTHERN PIECE OF ENERGY IS
FORECAST TO DRIFT SLOWLY ACROSS SOUTHERN CA ON SATURDAY.  THIS WILL
ONCE AGAIN SET UP THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.  MODELS HANDLE THIS WAVE DIFFERENTLY...THE ECMWF LIFTS
THE WAVE QUICKLY ACROSS SOUTHERN NV AND INTO UT BY SUNDAY MORNING
WHILE THE GFS SLOWLY TAKES THE SYSTEM INTO AZ BY MONDAY.  NOT MANY
CHANGES TO THE SUNDAY TO MONDAY TIME FRAME.  ECWMF HAS A MUCH DRIER
SOLUTION WHILE THE GFS CONTINUES TO GENERATE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY.  KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH LOWER CONFIDENCE BOTH DAYS.
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 80S
OVER WESTERN NV AND 60S OVER THE SIERRA BY MONDAY.  MOZLEY

&&

.AVIATION...

CONDITIONS REMAIN MOIST AND UNSTABLE WITH UPPER LOW OFF THE
CALIFORNIA COAST.  ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING
WILL INCREASE OVER THE AREA 18-21Z.  STORM MOTION WILL BE TO THE
NORTH AT 15-20KTS...SO ANY MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN OVER THE TERMINALS
WILL OCCUR IN BRIEF PERIODS.  VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS DOWN TO 1-2
MILES IN AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN...BUT WILL LEAVE MENTION OUT OF THE
FORECASTS DUE TO THE SHORT DURATION.  OUTFLOWS TO 45KTS POSSIBLE
WITH THE STRONGER STORMS.

COVERAGE OF STORMS WILL DECREASE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH BETWEEN
00Z-06Z. HOWEVER ADDITIONAL ENERGY ROTATING AROUND THE LOW COULD
KEEP ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GOING ALL NIGHT.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE
REST OF THE WEEK...AS THE LOW SLOWLY MOVES OVER THE SIERRA.  BRONG
