AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
320 AM PST WED NOV 4 2009

.SHORT TERM...
HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES OVER THE WEST COAST TODAY BRINGING ANOTHER
DAY OF CLEAR SKIES AND MUCH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. A SHEARING
UPPER TROUGH CURRENTLY ALONG 140W AND APPROACHING THE WEST COAST
BEGINS TO BRING COOLING ALOFT AND INCREASING SOUTH FLOW ALOFT LATE
TODAY. THE RESULT OF THIS WILL BE A LITTLE MORE SOUTHERLY SURFACE
WINDS AND SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES IN THE SIERRA...HOWEVER
MOST OF THESE CHANGES OVER YESTERDAY WILL BE NEGLIGIBLE.

THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM WILL BE THE
APPROACHING WEAK UPPER TROUGH. MODELS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH
THIS FEATURE AS IT SHEARS APART AND WEAKENS THURSDAY WHEN IT MOVES
ONSHORE. EITHER WAY WITH LITTLE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH AND WEAK
FORCING MECHANISMS...THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW IMPACT.
THE BULK OF THE UPPER ENERGY SPLITS OFF AND DIVES TOWARD BAJA WITH
A WEAK TROUGH AXIS MOVING OVER CA/NV LATE THURSDAY. THERE IS
MARGINAL ISENTROPIC AND OROGRAPHIC UPGLIDE OVER THE SIERRA NORTH
OF LAKE TAHOE TO BRING SPOTTY PRECIP...ESPECIALLY THURSDAY NIGHT.
PRECIP AMOUNTS OF 0.25-0.50 AT THE HIGHEST ARE ANTICIPATED...
THOUGH MOST AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LOWER THAN THIS. A MORE ZONAL FLOW
SETS UP OVER THE PACNW FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT WITH LESS PRECIP
FORCING AND A QUICK DECREASE IN ANY SHOWER ACTIVITY.

PERHAPS A BIGGER CONCERN WILL BE THE WIND POTENTIAL AS LOW LEVEL
GRADIENTS TIGHTEN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. 700 MB WINDS INCREASE TO
40-50 KTS LATE TONIGHT WITH SIERRA RIDGES SEEING THE INITIAL
INCREASE IN WIND SPEEDS. WINDS WILL INCREASE AND BECOME MORE
WIDESPREAD DURING THE DAY THURSDAY AS THE TROUGH AXIS MOVES INTO
THE WEST COAST. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 80 THURSDAY AFT/EVE AS PRECIP BANKS UP AGAINST THE WRN
SLOPES OF THE SIERRA AND 700 MB WINDS PEAK AROUND 55 KTS. UPPER
LEVEL JET SUPPORT IS NOT OVERLY STRONG DURING THIS TIME...SO
STILL NOT ANTICIPATING A BIG WIND EVENT ALTHOUGH WIND ADVISORIES
ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. THE MAIN SURFACE FRONT DOESNT REACH
NRN NEVADA UNTIL FRIDAY AFTERNOON BUT 700 MB WINDS HAVE DECREASED
TO ONLY 30-35 KTS WHICH SHOULD MITIGATE SIGNIFICANT WIND SPEEDS
THEN. JORDAN

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
MODELS AFTER SEEMINGLY COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT THE LAST COUPLE
DAYS CONTINUE TO SHIFT AS EARLY AS SAT. GFS/EC NOW HAVE ANOTHER
SHORT WAVE IN THE FLOW THAT IS PROGGED TO BE BEHIND THE SAT NIGHT
SYSTEM. AS A RESULT...SAT SYSTEM REMAINS FURTHER NORTH AND IS THUS
NOT AS COLD NOR AS WET THIS MORNING. GEFS ALSO GOING ALONG WITH THIS
IDEA. THAT NEXT UPSTREAM SYSTEM IS SET TO POSSIBLY IMPACT THE AREA
TUES...BUT THERE IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH IT. GFS/EC
DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY AND A BULLS-EYE OF EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE SPREAD
IN THE ENSEMBLE IS OVER THE WEST COAST BY TUES. SUFFICE TO
SAY...CONFIDENCE IS LOW-MODERATE OVER THE WEEKEND AND VERY LOW EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

HAVE TRENDED BACK ON THE CHC OF RAIN/SNOW FOR SAT/SAT NIGHT...BUT
NOT GONE AS LOW AS MODELS SUGGEST. AS MUCH AS I THINK IT WOULD BE
UNLIKELY...IT WOULD NOT SURPRISE ME IF THE SAT SYSTEM TRENDED BACK
SOUTH AGAIN DESPITE THIS NOT BEING INDICATED BY GEFS
(UNDERDISPERSION ISSUE). HAVE ALSO TRENDED WARMER WITH SNOW LEVELS
ABOUT 500-1000 FEET HIGH THAN PREV FCST. STILL...MOST SHOULD REMAIN
5-6000 FEET WHERE PRECIP OCCURS. SUN-MON STILL LOOKS DRY FOR NOW
WITH TUESDAY POSSIBLY BEING IMPACTED. ONLY ADDED A SLIGHT CHC OVER
THE NORTHWEST 1/4 OF THE AREA DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY. ALSO...AFTER
TEMPS COOL TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THIS WEEKEND...THEY
SHOULD MODERATE A BIT EARLY NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER...ONLY TRENDED
SLIGHTLY WARMER DUE TO UNCERTAINTY AND LEFT TEMPS CLOSE TO
NORMAL...NEAR 60 WESTERN NV AND NEAR 50 SIERRA VALLEYS. WALLMANN

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. EXPECT RIDGE WINDS TO
INCREASE A BIT THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE GREATEST IMPACT WILL BE
THURSDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT WHERE SIERRA CREST GUSTS COULD BE 70KTS.
EXPECT GUSTS NR 30 KTS AT AREA TERMINALS THU AFTERNOON AND EVENING
WITH SOME LOCALIZED LLWS POSSIBLE (ABOUT 30-40 PCT CHANCE).

PRECIP WITH THU-FRI SYSTEM SHOULD REMAIN NORTH OF TERMINALS FOR MOST
PART...WITH SOME MVFR CIGS/VIS POSSIBLE THU NIGHT IN CA NORTH OF
I-80. WALLMANN

&&

.REV WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NV...NONE.
CA...NONE.
