NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
936 AM PDT SUN MAR 15 2009

.UPDATE...
QUICK UPDATE TO INCREASE POPS/QPF VALUES RIGHT ALONG THE SIERRA
CREST FROM I-80 NORTH FOR TODAY. RADAR TRENDS SHOWING LARGE AREA
OF PRECIP MOVING INTO NW CA, WHICH SHOULD IMPACT NW PARTS OF OUR
CWA STARTING THIS AFTN. 9Z SREF PROB MATCHED QPF INDICATING 0.1
BETWEEN I-80 AND QUINCY THIS AFTN. FEEL THAT MOST OF THE PRECIP
WILL BE RIGHT ALONG THE CREST, WITH A RAPID DROPOFF EASTWARD,
BASED ON NAM/GFS OMEGA PROFILES. WIND FORECAST FOR TODAY LOOKS
GOOD, WITH GUSTS JUST BELOW ADV LEVELS. BLDU IN THE DESERTS A GOOD
BET.

CS

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 417 AM PDT SUN MAR 15 2009/

SHORT TERM...
HAVE KEPT HIGH WIND WATCH IN PLACE FOR THE SAME ZONES...BUT PUSHED
BACK THE ONSET AND END TIMES BASED ON LATEST TRENDS INDICATING
LESS INTENSE WINDS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT FROM THE I-80 REGION
SOUTHWARD. GUSTY WINDS ARE STILL EXPECTED EVEN BEFORE THE WATCH
TAKES EFFECT...BUT MOST GUSTS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE 35-45 MPH
RANGE. LAKE WIND ADVY WAS EXTENDED TO ELIMINATE ANY GAP BEFORE
THE WATCH TAKES EFFECT.

BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON...NERN CA-NWRN NV MAY BEGIN TO SEE
SOME STRONGER GUSTS AS 700 MB WINDS INCREASE TO NEAR 60 KT. SOME
PRECIP LOADING ALSO MAY ALSO ENHANCE GUSTS ESPECIALLY IN THE
SURPRISE VALLEY AND LEE SIDE PORTIONS OF NERN CA THRU TONIGHT.
POTENTIAL FOR STRONGEST WINDS CONTINUES TO BE INDICATED FOR MONDAY
AFTERNOON ALONG THE HIGHWAY 395 CORRIDOR FROM SUSANVILLE TO TOPAZ
LAKE.

COMPARED TO GUIDANCE DATA FROM 24 HRS AGO WHICH RAISED CONCERN
FOR A MORE SIGNIFICANT PERIOD OF HIGH WINDS...THE MAGNITUDE OF
THIS WIND EVENT CURRENTLY APPEARS TO BE LESS INTENSE...HEADING
TOWARD SOLID ADVISORY CRITERIA. THE USUAL WIND PRONE AREAS WILL
PROBABLY RECEIVE SOME HIGH WIND GUSTS...WHILE AWAY FROM THE WIND
PRONE REGIONS SHORT DURATION GUSTS MEETING LOW END WARNING
CRITERIA ARE POSSIBLE. SOME OF THE INGREDIENTS CONTRIBUTING TO
DOWNSLOPE WINDSTORMS WERE NOT AS WELL DEFINED ON THE LATEST
GUIDANCE DATA...INCLUDING LIGHTER PRECIP ALONG THE SIERRA CREST AND
THE STABLE LAYER NOT EXTENDING AS HIGH ABOVE RIDGE LEVEL. REDUCED
VSBY DUE TO BLOWING DUST WILL LIKELY BE AN IMPACT ACROSS PORTIONS
OF WRN NV REGARDLESS OF WHETHER HIGH WIND CRITERIA IS MET.

WINDS WILL GRADUALLY WIND DOWN MON EVENING...AND CONTINUE DECREASING
MON NIGHT AS THE GRADIENT WEAKENS AND THE JET STREAM RETREATS
FARTHER TO THE NORTH. WIDESPREAD HIGH CLOUDS WILL PERSIST THRU
TUESDAY BUT LIGHTER WINDS AND MILD TEMPS IN THE LOWER-MID 60S FOR
MOST VALLEYS WILL BRING MORE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR MOST OUTDOOR
ACTIVITIES.

PRECIP HAS HAD A SLOW START SO FAR WITH SOME RADAR ECHOES FINALLY
APPEARING WEST OF THE SIERRA CREST DURING THE PAST HOUR. WHILE
LOCATIONS ABOVE 7000 FT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE SIERRA CREST COULD
SEE UP TO A FOOT OF SNOW WITH THIS SYSTEM...AMOUNTS WILL DROP OFF
QUICKLY EAST OF THE CREST. WET BULB EFFECTS FROM INITIAL DRY AIR
MASS COULD PRODUCE SCT SNOW SHOWERS IN THE TAHOE BASIN THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...BUT LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED
AT LAKE LEVEL FOR THIS EVENT AS SNOW LEVELS RISE TO NEAR 6500-7000
FT BY LATER TONIGHT. RAINFALL WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT ACROSS LOWER
ELEVATIONS...BUT PORTIONS OF FAR WRN LASSEN COUNTY AND CNTRL
PLUMAS-SIERRA COUNTIES NEAR HWY 89 COULD RECEIVE STORM TOTALS
BETWEEN 0.50 AND 1 INCH FROM THIS AFTERNOON THRU MON EVENING. MJD

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
CHANGES TO PREVIOUS FORECAST INCLUDE INCREASING CLOUD COVER
THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT AND OVER THE NEXT WEEKEND...AND INCREASING
POPS LATE SATURDAY.

A FLAT RIDGE REMAINS OVER CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA ON WEDNESDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY...WITH A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE DRIFTING THROUGH THE
RIDGE ACROSS SOUTHERN CA AND NV THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. THE GFS
AND ECMWF SHOW A STRONGER DISTURBANCE WHILE THE CANADIAN MODEL
BARELY PICKS UP ON IT. THE GFS/EC GENERATE QUITE A BIT OF MID LEVEL
CLOUDS ACROSS THE CWA AS THE FEATURE MOVES BY TO THE SOUTH. THE EC
QPF PROGS SHOW NO PRECIP BUT THE LATEST (06Z) GFS QPF DOES SHOW SOME
PRECIP OVER THE CENTRAL SIERRA THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
RECENT MODEL INCONSISTENCY WITH THIS DISTURBANCE REDUCES CONFIDENCE
THAT THERE WILL BE MUCH IF ANY PRECIP SO FOR THIS PACKAGE WILL
INCREASE CLOUDS BUT LEAVE LOW POPS AND NO MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION
IN THE FORECAST.

THE LATEST MODEL RUNS DO SEEM TO BE GOING BACK TO A STRONGER SYSTEM
MOVING TO THE WEST COAST NEXT WEEKEND...WITH INCREASING CHANCES FOR
PRECIP LATE SATURDAY AND ESPECIALLY SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THE
SYSTEM LOOKS PRETTY COLD WITH POTENTIAL FOR SNOW LEVELS TO DROP TO
NEAR VALLEY FLOORS SUNDAY BUT THAT POSSIBILITY WILL BE ADDRESSED IN
LATER FORECAST PACKAGES. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES CONTINUE THROUGH
FRIDAY BEFORE DROPPING TO NEAR OR BELOW NORMAL NEXT WEEKEND. RC

AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...ALTHOUGH GUSTY SOUTHWEST
WINDS MAY PRODUCE BRIEF IFR VSBYS IN BLDU NEAR KLOL BETWEEN 20Z-
02Z...AND LOWERING CIGS AND VSBY AT KTVL/KTRK AFTER 03Z IN RAIN
SHOWERS. SFC WINDS WILL INCREASE TODAY WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS 15-25
KNOTS AND LOCAL GUSTS 30-40 KNOTS. THESE WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO
MONDAY. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR LLWS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY...PRIMARILY
AT THE KTRK/KTVL SITES WHERE RIDGE TOP WINDS WILL BE MUCH STRONGER
THAN VALLEY LOCATIONS. WILL LEAVE MENTION OF LLWS OUT OF KRNO TAF
AT THIS TIME AS SFC WINDS MAY BE STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP CONDITIONS
FROM DEVELOPING. RC
