SIERRA...THERE IS GOOD INDICATION OF A SHORT LIVED DOWNSLOPE PATTERN
EVOLVING IN THE LEE OF THE MOUNTAINS.
DECIDED TO KEEP THE HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE RENO/CARSON CITY/MINDEN
AREA AS NOT TOO SURE WHETHER IT WILL BE A HIGH END ADVISORY OR LOW
END WARNING EVENT. SAME THOUGHT FOR MINERAL COUNTY...SO WILL LEAVE
IT TO THE DAY SHIFT TO DECIDE. THE MAIN STORY IS THAT IT WILL BE
VERY WINDY AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION.
MODELS STILL AGREE ON THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT AS IT IS EXPECTED
TO BEGIN TO MOVE THROUGH LASSEN AND PLUMAS COUNTY BY TUESDAY
MORNING. IT WILL THEN PROGRESS SOUTHEAST AND INTRODUCE HEAVIER
PRECIP IN TAHOE AND WESTERN NV TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL NOT BE A
SHADOWING EVENT AS THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET WILL PUSH RAIN INTO
WESTERN NV TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SNOW LEVELS WILL START OUT
ABOVE 8000 FEET AND SLOWLY DROP TO AROUND 5500 FEET BY TUESDAY
NIGHT. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR BEFORE THE COLD ARRIVES
SO EXPECTING MOST PRECIP IN SIERRA VALLEYS AND WESTERN NV TO BE
RAIN. HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT THE AREA OF THE HEAVIEST PRECIP WILL BE
FROM TAHOE NORTHWARD WITH 1-2 INCHES STORM TOTAL IS POSSIBLE. THERE
IS SOME CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATION ABOVE 7000 FEET
BUT NOT TOO CONFIDENT.
PRECIP WILL BEGIN TO DWINDLE FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE TUESDAY
NIGHT AS TEMPERATURES PLUMMET IN THE COLD POST FRONTAL AIR. SHOWERS
ARE POSSIBLE INTO WEDNESDAY DUE TO THE INSTABILITY WITHIN THE COLD
POOL. TEMPERATURES WILL BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WEDNESDAY
AS THE TROUGH PUSHES EAST. LABELLE
.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
MADE FEW CHANGES HERE AS MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH SATURDAY
THEN DIVERGE A BIT FOR SUNDAY. THURSDAY SHOULD SEE A FEW MORE
SHOWERS BEFORE A SHORT WAVE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW MOVES IN
EARLY FRIDAY REINFORCING COLD AIR AND SHOWERS. THIS SHORT WAVE HAS
THE TRAJECTORY OF AN INSIDE SLIDER SO IT WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED
CLOSELY. POPS FOR NV SIERRA FRONT TO MONO/MINERAL COUNTIES MAY NEED
TO BE ADJUSTED UPWARD SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE COMING DAYS IF JET
LOCATION/INSTABILITY ARE FAVORABLE.
BY SATURDAY...LOW WILL SLOWLY PULL AWAY WITH MORE NORTHERLY FLOW.
NOT SURE HOW MANY SHOWERS WILL REMAIN...BUT WILL KEEP IN SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR NOW. TEMPS WILL BEGIN TO MODIFY...BUT STILL REMAIN A FEW
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
FOR SUNDAY...EC MOST AGGRESSIVE IN FLATTENING EAST PAC BUILDING
RIDGE WHILE GFS HAS A MODERATE AMPLITUDE RIDGE BUILDING JUST OFF THE
COAST. GEFS SUPPORTS GFS WHILE 12Z EC ENSEMBLE SHOWS HUGE SPREAD.
WILL GO IN BETWEEEN WITH WEAK RIDGING. SUN DOES LOOK DRY EITHER WAY
PER GFS/EC...AND ALSO SHOULD SEE TEMPS APPROACH NORMAL. THE
DIFFERENCES REALLY START TO IMPACT THE FORECAST JUST BEYOND THE
CURRENT 7-DAY PERIOD. WALLMANN
