AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
1029 AM PDT TUE OCT 13 2009

.UPDATE...
SNOW LEVELS AT ONSET OF PCPN THIS MRNG WERE ABOUT 500-800 FEET
BELOW CURRENT FORECAST SNOW LEVELS. HAVE MADE SOME SLIGHT
ADJUSTMENTS DOWNWARD FOR THESE TODAY IN THE SIERRA...BUT FEEL AS
WAA BEGINS LATER THIS MRNG INTO THE AFTN THAT SNOW LEVELS WILL
BEGIN TO RISE RATHER QUICKLY. THIS WILL CAUSE MINOR DIFFERENCES
WITH FORECAST SNOW AMOUNTS AS WELL...BUT MOST ACCUMULATIONS WILL
STILL BE ABOVE 8000 FEET IN THE NORTHERN SIERRA AND 9000 FEET IN
THE CENTRAL SIERRA. HAVE MADE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THESE AS
WELL. QPF NUMBERS STILL LOOK GOOD AS HOURLY PCPN RATES ARE
BEGINNING TO INCREASE NOW. EARLY SPILL OVER INTO THE WRN NV
VALLEYS HAS LIMITED THE WIND POTENTIAL THIS MRNG SO HAVE DECIDED
TO CANCEL WIND ADVISORY. MORE WIND PRONE AREAS MAY STILL SEE GUSTS
UP TO 50 MPH BRIEFLY THIS MRNG BUT WIDESPREAD GUSTS THIS HIGH ARE
NOT ANTICIPATED. WITH BETTER WIND POTENTIAL TONIGHT WILL LEAVE
HIGH WIND WARNINGS IN PLACE. WILL NEED TO LOOK T POTENTIAL FOR
WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR NORTHERN ZONES LATER THIS EVENING...BUT
WILL NOT ISSUE ANYTHING THERE YET. UPDATES OUT SHORTLY. MLF

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 506 AM PDT TUE OCT 13 2009/

SHORT TERM...
STORM IS STILL ON TRACK WITH STRONG JET STREAK AND DEEP MOISTURE
TAP MOVING INTO THE WEST COAST. SEE SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT AND
WIND STATEMENT FOR MORE INFO ABOUT THE IMPACTS OF THIS STORM.

SATELLITE DERIVED WIND AND PWAT ESTIMATES INDICATE EXIT REGION OF
THE JET WITH SPEEDS AROUND 100 KTS AND SIGNIFICANT SURGE OF
MOISTURE WITH PWATS NEAR 2 INCHES JUST NOW REACHING THE CA COAST.
THIS COINCIDES WITH WELL-DEFINED BAROCLINIC LEAF NOW FORMING OVER
THE CA COASTLINE. IR IMAGERY ALSO SHOWS COLD AIR CUMULUS AT THE
CENTER OF THE LOW NEAR 40N 135W. RAINRATE ESTIMATES UNDER THE
BAROCLINIC LEAF ARE NEAR 0.5/HOUR AS IT MOVES ONSHORE. RADAR
RETURNS OVER THE WRN SLOPES OF THE SIERRA HAVE REALLY FILLED IN
OVER THE LAST HOUR.

MODELS CONTINUE TO BE CONSISTENT IN HANDLING OF THIS SIGNIFICANT
EARLY SEASON STORM. PRECIP OVER THE SIERRA WILL CONTINUE TO
INCREASE THIS MORNING AS THE GOOD ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE PUSHES
FURTHER ONSHORE. SNOW LEVELS INITIALLY AROUND 8000 FEET THIS
MORNING WILL INCREASE QUICKLY DUE TO THE WAA. WINDS OVER SIERRA
RIDGES WILL INCREASE BY MID MORNING WITH GUSTY DOWNSLOPE WINDS IN
THE LEE OF THE SIERRA AS THE PRECIP BANKS UP ON THE WEST SLOPES.
H7 WINDS REACH 70 KTS BY 18Z WHICH WILL TRANSLATE TO TRIPLE DIGIT
WIND GUSTS OVER SIERRA RIDGES. DOWNSLOPE WIND POTENTIAL IN THE LEE
OF THE SIERRA IS TAPERED BY DEEP MOISTURE AND UNFAVORABLE
TEMPERATURE PROFILE...HOWEVER WINDS WILL STILL BE GUSTY ENOUGH TO
WARRANT WIND ADVISORIES THROUGH THIS MORNING.

THINGS GET INTERESTING AROUND MIDDAY AS THE MOISTURE SURGE AND
MAIN JET CORE REACH THE SIERRA. THIS WILL DRASTICALLY INCREASE
PRECIP RATES OVER THE SIERRA...AND PUSH RAINFALL INTO WRN NEVADA
TEMPORARILY NEGATING THE BREEZY CONDITIONS THERE. WITH GOOD JET
DYNAMICS...OROGRAPHIC FLOW...AND 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL PWATS OVER
THE SIERRA...RAINFALL RATES NEAR 0.8/HOUR ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. THE HEAVIEST PRECIP AMOUNTS
WILL OCCUR ALONG THE SIERRA CREST SOUTH OF LAKE TAHOE TOWARDS
TIOGA PASS. PRECIP TOTALS CONTINUE TO BE VERY IMPRESSIVE EVEN
INTO WRN NEVADA WITH AROUND 1 INCH OF RAIN IN RENO...2-3 INCHES
AROUND LAKE TAHOE AND TRUCKEE...AND 4-6 INCHES OF WATER EQUIVALENT
ALONG THE SIERRA CREST. WITH SNOW LEVELS FLUCTUATING AROUND
9000-9500 FEET FOR THE BULK OF THE EVENT...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL
BE QUITE HEAVY BUT ONLY ON THE HIGHEST PEAKS OF THE SIERRA. THERE
CONTINUES TO BE A HYDRO CONCERN WITH SUCH HIGH QPF AMOUNTS BUT
VERY DRY ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS WILL NEGATE MUCH OF THE CONCERN.
THE BIGGEST ISSUE WILL BE URBAN RUNOFF IN SIERRA VALLEYS MAINLY
SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 INCLUDING SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. LATER SHIFTS
WILL HAVE TO MONITOR HOW WELL WATER IS PENETRATING THE SURFACE AND
MAY NEED TO ISSUE URBAN FLOOD ADVISORY.

THE TROUGH AXIS AND A WEAK SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVE OVER NRN CA/NV
THIS EVENING. THE TROPOPAUSE DROPS AS LOW AS 500 MB WITH
SIGNIFICANT DRYING ALOFT BY 06Z THIS EVENING. THESE ARE BOTH
GOOD METHODS FOR DUCTING WINDS ALOFT TO THE SURFACE CREATING
STRONG DOWNSLOPE WINDS OFF THE SIERRA. MODEL CROSS SECTIONS ARE
ALSO INDICATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A STANDING WAVE DEVELOPING ALONG
THE SIERRA FRONT FOR A FEW HOURS THIS EVENING. WITH 30 AGL WINDS
PROGGED TO BE 65 KTS DURING THIS TIME SURFACE GUSTS OF 65-70 MPH
ARE POSSIBLE. THIS IS QUITE AN UNCERTAIN SETUP HOWEVER THE
POTENTIAL IS HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT UPGRADING TO HIGH WIND
WARNING AND STARTING THE STATEMENT 6 HOURS SOONER THAN PREVIOUSLY
ISSUED. FEEL THAT MOST LOCATIONS WILL JUST REMAIN BREEZY...BUT A
FEW WIND PRONE FOOTHILL LOCATIONS SHOULD SEE A FEW HOURS OF
STRONG WIND GUSTS CENTERED AROUND 8 PM THIS EVENING. THE DRY SLOT
WILL ALSO BRING A DRAMATIC DECREASE IN PRECIP TONIGHT WITH RAIN
AND SNOW MAINLY CONFINED TO THE SIERRA.

THE JET BEGINS TO RETREAT TO THE NORTH WEDNESDAY TAKING THE
ABUNDANT MOISTURE WITH IT. SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE MAINLY OVER THE
SIERRA WITH MODELS STILL GENERATING MODERATE QPF AMOUNTS OVER WRN
LASSEN COUNTY UNDER WAA. KEPT WITH SLOWLY DISSIPATING SHOWER
COVERAGE WEDNESDAY WITH MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
JORDAN

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS CA AND NV THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH DRY
AND WARMER WEATHER. THE RIDGE WILL MOVE EAST SATURDAY IN RESPONSE
TO A TROUGH THAT WILL PUSH ONSHORE SUNDAY AND ACROSS NEVADA MONDAY.
THE GFS IS A BIT MORE AMPLIFIED WITH THE TROUGH THAN THE ECMWF AND
BRINGS LIGHT PRECIPITATION FARTHER SOUTH LATE IN THE WEEKEND. WILL
CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE SHOWERS NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 WITH HIGHER POPS IN
LASSEN COUNTY SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO ABOVE NORMAL VALUES THURSDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY BEFORE DROPPING TO NEAR NORMAL FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
READINGS IN THE WESTERN NV VALLEYS WILL BE IN THE 70S THROUGH
SATURDAY THEN COOL INTO THE 60S FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY. SIERRA
VALLEYS WILL SEE MAINLY 60S FOR THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY THEN LOWER
INTO THE 50S TO LOWER 60S SUNDAY AND MONDAY. RC

AVIATION...
A MAJOR STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA TODAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH HEAVY RAIN...MOUNTAIN OBSCUREMENT...AND
PERIODS OF STRONG WINDS.

ANTICIPATED AVIATION IMPACTS WITH THE STORM BETWEEN 12Z TUE AND 12Z
