THAT SREF SHOWS A BIMODAL CLUSTERING REGARDING SPEED OF WAVE, SO
TIMING ASPECTS OF THE FORECAST REMAIN SLIGHTLY UNCERTAIN.

**PRECIP**
WE HAD A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS MOVE OVER THE NRN ZONES TODAY. THOSE ARE
PRETTY MUCH GONE THOUGH PLENTY OF CLOUDS WILL REMAIN AHEAD OF WARM
FRONT MOVING ONSHORE. MAIN AREA OF PRECIP EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO NE
CA AFTER MIDNIGHT THOUGH IT WILL REMAIN CONFINED TO MTNS WITH DECENT
SHADOWING SIGNATURES IN MODEL FCSTS. PRECIP COVERAGE INCREASES FRI
MORNING INTO THE AFTN FOR LASSEN/TAHOE AND OVER SURPRISE VLY INTO
GREAT BASIN, WHILE SHADOWING FOR RNO/CC APPEARS LIKELY (LOW RH AND
SUBSIDENCE IN DENDRITIC ZONE).

PRECIP TYPE IS GOING TO BE TRICKY. HAVE RAISED SNOW LEVELS A LOT
BASED ON OBS AND LATEST MODEL 700MB TEMP/WET BULB ZERO GUIDANCE,
SUCH THAT A PERIOD OF -RA SEEMS LIKELY EVEN AT TRK/TVL FRI MORN. A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF -FZRA IN COLDER VALLEYS GIVEN LOW LEVEL NOCTURNAL
INVERSION ON FCST SOUNDINGS, BUT CHCS APPEAR MINIMAL. EXPECTING
CHANGE OVER TO SN AT TAHOE AROUND/AFTER 18Z/FRI, PERHAPS ACCOMPANIED
BY A HEAVY BURST OF SN WITH SOME INSTABILITY ANTICIPATED PER GFS
CAPE. PLENTY OF LIFT IN THE DENDRITIC LAYER, THOUGH SPEED OF SYSTEM
WILL LIMIT SNOW AMOUNTS. PRECIP TAILS OFF QUICKLY OVER MONO CO AS
SYSTEM CONTINUES EAST INTO UTAH. SN AMOUNTS OF 2-5 POSSIBLE AT
TVL/TRK WITH UP TO 10 IN HIGHEST ELEVATIONS A COUPLE INCHES IN
LASSEN VALLEYS, WITH UP TO 6 IN HIGHER ELEVATIONS W OF 395.

CONCERNED THAT A SECONDARY BAND OF SN COULD DEVELOP BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT AFTER 21Z/FRI, AFFECTING SVE/RNO/LOL/NFL AREAS WITH A BRIEF
BURST OF SNOW IN THE EVENING HOURS FRIDAY. NAM REALLY SHOWS THIS
(2-3 AT RNO), WITH GFS AND SREF MAX QPF GRAPHICS HINTING AT IT AS
WELL BUT TO A LESSER EXTENT. HAVE INCREASED PRECIP CHCS FRI EVE OVER
THESE AREAS TO ACCOUNT FOR POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER BAND.

**WINDS**
AIRCRAFT REPORTS AND SATELLITE DERIVED WINDS SHOWING A PLUME OF
50-70KT WINDS AT 700MB DEVELOPING OVER OREGON AND OFFSHORE OF NW CA
TODAY. THIS AREA OF INTENSE WINDS FCST BY GFS TO SLIDE S INTO NRN
PARTS OF THE CWA LATE TONIGHT, WITH WINDS TO 55KTS BY MID-DAY FRI
NEAR RNO. THIS COMBINED WITH A VERY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND
SHADOWING SIGNATURES WILL RESULT IN STRONG GUSTY WINDS FOR MUCH OF
THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY.

LOCAL AND NCEP HIGHREZ WRF RUNS SHOWING GOOD POTENTIAL FOR ADVISORY
GUSTS FROM RNO NORTH INTO SURPRISE VALLEY. NAM BUFR DATA SHOWING A
2-4 HOUR WINDOW WITH GUSTS AOA 40 KTS. HYSPLIT TRAJECTORIES BASED ON
THE NAM SHOWING AIR PARCELS HAVING ORIGINS ABOVE THE PBL OVER CA,
WHICH SEEMS TO FAVOR STRONGER WINDS AT RNO. HAVE POSTED WIND
ADVISORIES FOR THESE AREAS, AND LAKE WIND ADVISORIES FOR
TAHOE/PYRAMID. THERE ARE HINTS AT AN INVERSION DEVELOPING ALOFT OVER
NRN ZONES LATE TONIGHT WHICH MIGHT ENHANCE WINDS, BUT NO SUCH
FEATURE NEAR RNO, SO WINDS WHERE MIGHT BE MORE MARGINAL. HIGH WINDS
ARE NOTORIOUSLY HARD TO FORECAST FOR SURPRISE VALLEY, BUT ENOUGH
POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED STRONG WINDS TO ISSUE AN ADVISORY.

**TEMPERATURES**
IN GENERAL MADE NO MAJOR CHANGES TO TEMPERATURES, EXCEPT TO COOL
LOWS SAT NIGHT ESPECIALLY NEAR TRK/TVL. MOS GUIDANCE HAS COME
COLDER, SHOWING -4 AT TRK.

**IMPACTS**
TRAVEL OVER THE SIERRA PASSES WILL LIKELY BECOME SLOW, WITH SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS FRIDAY. THIS WILL AFFECT PEOPLE HEADING TO SKI AREAS
FOR WEEKEND, AND THOSE RETURNING HOME FROM HOLIDAY TRIPS. WILL BE
ISSUING AN SPS TO COVER THIS AND WIND POTENTIAL IN THE LEE, ALONG
WITH THE ADVISORIES.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

ENERGY MOVING THROUGH THE FAR NORTHWEST CONUS ATOP AN EASTERN
PACIFIC RIDGE WILL SPREAD MORE SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS ACROSS
THE NORTHERN CWA MONDAY AND TUESDAY...MOSTLY WELL NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 80. ANY PRECIP WOULD LIKELY BE LIGHT WITH ALL LIFT
ORIGINATING FROM A GLANCING BLOW OF WARM AIR ADVECTION. TUESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...A RIDGE WILL AT LEAST BRIEFLY BUILD
INTO THE REGION FOR DRY CONDITIONS AND LIGHT WINDS.

THURSDAY...THE EC AND GFS SHOW A FAST-MOVING SYSTEM IMPINGING ON THE
NORTH SIDE OF THE RIDGE AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.
THE NAEFS SHOWS NO PRECIP PROBABILITIES THURSDAY BUT THAT IS NOT
SURPRISING GIVEN THE COARSE RESOLUTION OF THE ENSEMBLE SYSTEM MAKING
IT DIFFICULT FOR ITS MEMBERS TO DEPICT A SMALLER SCALE SYSTEM (SOME
MEMBERS DO WEAKLY HINT AT ENERGY MOVING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
THURSDAY). IN ANY CASE...IT WAS WORTH A HEADS UP SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
THE FAR NORTHERN CWA.

TEMPERATURE WISE...UNREMARKABLE HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR JANUARY ARE
EXPECTED WITH HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE 40S TO AROUND 50 IN THE VALLEYS.
THAT BEING SAID...WITH NO STRONG SURFACE HIGH EXPECTED TO BUILD IN
THROUGH THURSDAY...HIGHS COULD EASILY TOP OUT WELL INTO THE 50S WITH
A LITTLE HELP FROM MIXING. AT THIS TIME...THURSDAY COULD BE THE BEST
BET IF THE PAC NW SYSTEM CAN STIR UP ENOUGH WESTERLY WINDS TO MIX
OUT THE VALLEYS WELL. SNYDER
