AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
1017 PM PDT TUE APR 27 2010

.UPDATE...
RIDGE GUSTS REMAIN QUITE STRONG TONIGHT AS JET STREAK IS PASSING
OVER THE RGN. MEANWHILE LOW LVL WINDS HAVE STARTED TO DECREASE.
THIS IS LARGELY IN RESPONSE TO INSTABILITY INDUCED SPILL OVER
ACROSS THE SIERRA. EVEN WITH SPILL OVER DEVELOPING AM NOT SEEING
HUGE AMOUNTS OF PCPN MAKE IT OVER IN AREAS WHERE SNOW LEVELS HAVE
FALLEN...NAMELY THE TAHOE BASIN. THERE PCPN IS IN BANDS...NOT A
WIDE SWATH. THINK A FEW AREAS OF THE TAHOE BASIN ABOVE 7000 FEET
MAY REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA SNOW FALL TONIGHT...BUT NOT WIDESPREAD
ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN ADVISORY...SO WILL DROP IT WITH AN UPDATE.
FARTHER SOUTH SNOW LEVELS REMAIN QUITE HIGH INTO MONO COUNTY.
SPILL OVER HAS BEGUN THERE AS WELL...WHICH SHOULD LOWER SNOW
LEVELS A BIT. BUT TEMPS REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING UP TO 8000 FEET AND
THESE WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FALL MUCH. BEST PCPN DOWN THERE IS
ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CREST DUE TO OROGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT. WHILE
THIS MAY CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT...THINK BEST ACCUMULATIONS
WILL BE VERY NEAR THE CREST. THUS WILL DROP THE ADVISORY THERE AS
WELL. WINDS IN MONO COUNTY...MINERAL/SRN LYON COUNTY AND THE WRN
NV BASINS HAVE DROP TO BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA MOST LOCATIONS SO
WILL ALLOW THE HIGH WIND WARNING TO EXPIRE. THERE COULD BE SOME
ISOLATED GUSTS GREATER THAN 45 MPH IN MONO COUNTY ALONG THE
HIGHWAY 395 CORRIDOR AND INTO MINERAL COUNTY ALONG WALKER LAKE FOR
A FEW HOURS...BUT THESE WILL NOT BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH FOR AN
ADVISORY. MLF

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 636 PM PDT TUE APR 27 2010/

UPDATE...
MOST RECENT OBSERVATIONS AT THE SIERRA RIDGES HAVE TOPPED AT
AROUND 140 MPH. HIGHEST WINDS NOTED ON KREV EVENING SOUNDING WERE
RIGHT AT 145 KTS. LOOKING AT WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY IT
APPEARS NOSE THE STRONGEST JET MAX IS NOW RIGHT OVER THE SIERRA.
THIS WOULD ACCOUNT FOR PCPN STARTING TO SPILL OVER THE SIERRA
INTO WRN NV BETTER THAN EARLIER IN THE DAY. SFC BOUNDARY APPEARS
TO BE DRAPED ACROSS THE NRN 1/3 OF THE CWA. HAVE NOTED THAT WINDS
HAVE DECREASE A BIT NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY AND IN AREAS WERE THE
PCPN IS SPILLING OVER BETTER. ONLY CATCH IS SHOWERS ARE PRODUCING
BRIEF GUSTY WINDS AS WINDS ALOFT MIX TO THE SFC. EVEN WITH WIND
WARNING/ADVISORIES ENDED IN ALL LOCATIONS BUT THE WRN NV BASINS
AND INTO MONO COUNTY...WE COULD STILL SEE BRIEF GUSTS TO NEAR 50
MPH IN THE SHOWERS ALONG THE SIERRA FRONT FROM MINDEN NORTH AND
INTO SE LASSEN COUNTY. WINDS HAVE DECREASED ENOUGH TO THE EAST
THAT BLOWING DUST REDUCING VISIBILITIES TO LESS THAN 1/2 MILE IS
NO LONGER OCCURRING. BUT AREAS OF BLOWING DUST WITH SOME REDUCTION
IN VISIBILITY IS STILL POSSIBLE THIS EVENING EAST OF HIGHWAY 95
AND WILL KEEP THE WIND WARNIGNS GOING UNTIL 11 PM. WILL ALSO EXTEND
TIMING OF SLIGHT CHANCE TSTMS TO LONGER INTO THE EVENING FOR WRN
NV BASINS AHEAD OF THE SFC BOUNDARY.

FINALLY...KTRK OBSERVATION SHOWS UP FOR WX TYPE NOW AND SLIDE MTN
TEMPS AREA FALLING. THUS SNOW LEVELS ARE BEGINNING TO LOWER. RADAR
RETURNS DO NOT SHOW EXCEEDINGLY INTENSE PCPN RATES THAT WOULD
LOWER SNOW LEVELS TOO FAST...BUT SNOW LEVELS SHOULD GET TO AROUND
5000 FEET BY 9 PM FOR THE SIERRA AND FAR WRN NV. WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORIES ARE CURRENTLY ON TRACK...BUT WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED
FOR ACCUMULATIONS INTO THE LATE EVENING. MLF

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 305 PM PDT TUE APR 27 2010/

SHORT TERM...
STRONG SPRING STORM CONTINUES TO HAMMER THE REGION. STRONG WINDS
CONTINUE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE GREATEST
OBSERVED WINDS NOW SOUTH AND EAST OF RENO/CARSON CITY. DUST
STORMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED FROM WEATHER SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY
OFFICIALS IN AND AROUND LOVELOCK AND FALLON AND HAVE ISSUED A DUST
STORM WARNING FOR PERSHING/CHRUCHILL COUNTIES UNTIL 7 PM TO ADDRESS
THE THREAT. THE STRONGEST WINDS ALONG THE HIGHWAY 395 CORRIDOR FROM
DOYLE TO GARDNERVILLE HAVE COME TO PASS AND HAVE GRADUALLY DECREASED
AS PRECIP HAS BEEN ABLE TO SPILL OVER THE SIERRA AT TIMES BY THE
ADVECTION OF HYDROMETEORS BY THE STRONG 140+ KT UPPER JET. STABILITY
PROFILES CONTINUE TO FAVOR STRONG WINDS UNTIL THE COLD FRONT
ARRIVES...WHICH IS JUST NOW PUSHING INTO FAR WESTERN LASSEN COUNTY
WHERE LIGHTNING STRIKES ARE ONGOING. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE
POTENTIAL FOR LIGHTNING PUSHING INTO THE FAR NRN ZONES NEAR THE
OREGON BORDER AND WILL KEEP THE MENTION OF ISOLATED STORMS GOING
INTO THE EVENING. SNOW LEVELS HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE TODAY BUT
HAVE GENERALLY REMAINED AROUND 7000 FEET WITH LITTLE ACCUMULATION IN
THE SIERRA EAST OF THE CREST DUE TO SNOWFALL RATES BEING ONLY LIGHT
TO MODERATE. SNOW LEVELS TO QUICKLY LOWER AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH TONIGHT WITH THE HIGHEST SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS
EXPECTED IN THE TAHOE AREA ABOVE 7000 FEET THIS EVENING. SNOW AND
BLOWING SNOW ADVISORIES STILL LOOK ON TRACK FOR TAHOE DOWN TO MONO
COUNTY. EVEN THOUGH THE MODELS ARE NOT SHOWING ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE
QPF FOR MONO COUNTY...STRONG OROGRAPHICS AND SNOWFALL RATES ARE
UNDERESTIMATED BY THE MODELS.

PRECIP WILL CONTINUE TO SPILLOVER THE SIERRA INTO WESTERN NV AT
TIMES THIS EVENING AND WILL BE A BIT MORE INTENSE ALONG THE FRONT.
SNOW LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER TO MOST VALLEY FLOORS NORTH OF
HIGHWAY 50 TONIGHT...BUT ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE LIMITED TO MAINLY
THE FOOTHILLS ABOVE 5000-5500 FEET WITH ONLY UP TO A FEW INCHES AT
BEST.

A COOL AND BREEZY DAY IS IN STORE FOR WEDNESDAY WITH CONVECTIVE
SHOWERS BUBBLING UP WITH DAYTIME HEATING. LITTLE IF ANY ADDITIONAL
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED ANYWHERE ACROSS THE AREA...INCLUDING
THE SIERRA DUE TO STRONG SUN ANGLE AND ONLY LIGHT TO MODERATE
SNOWFALL RATES. HOWEVER...A SECONDARY WAVE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO
THE NRN SIERRA AND INTO WRN NV WED EVENING WHICH IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE SHOWER ACTIVITY AND COULD LEAD TO A FEW INCHES OF SNOW IN
THE SIERRA AND A DUSTING TO IN INCH IN WRN NV.  THIS WILL NEED TO
WATCHED AS THERE COULD BE AREAS IN WESTERN NV THAT COULD SEE SOME
LOCALIZED TRAVEL ISSUES IF HEAVIER BANDS OF SNOW MATERIALIZE.

ALTHOUGH THE UPPER TROUGH SHIFTS EAST THURSDAY...REINFORCING COLD
AIR IS EXPECTED TO DROP THROUGH THE PAC NW INTO THE GREAT BASIN AND
WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM REBOUNDING SIGNIFICANTLY THURS OR FRIDAY.
SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE AGAIN EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WITH DAYTIME HEATING
BUT REMAIN ISOLATED TO SCATTERED.  MILNE

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT FOR THE WEEKEND BEFORE BEGINNING TO
DIVERGE IN THEIR SOLUTIONS FOR THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. LONGWAVE
TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS BEGINS TO SHIFT EAST SATURDAY WITH AN
UPPER RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC. THIS WILL KEEP THE CWA UNDER
NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT WITH A DRIER AIR MASS PUSHING INTO THE AREA.
TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO MODERATE OVER THE WEEKEND...REACHING NEAR
NORMAL BY SUNDAY.

BOTH THE GFS AND THE EC HAVE A LOW RIDING OVER THE TOP OF THE RIDGE
ON SUNDAY MOVING ACROSS ALASKA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA...BUT THE
DIFFERENCES EXIST IN WHERE MODELS TAKE THIS SYSTEM FOR THE EARLY
PART OF NEXT WEEK. THE GFS STRENGTHENS THE UPPER RIDGE INLAND OVER THE
WEST WHICH DEFLECTS THIS SYSTEM WELL NORTH OF THE AREA. THE
EC...HOWEVER...KEEPS THE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC...AND TROUGH
OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CONUS AND DROPS THE UPPER LOW STRAIGHT
INTO THE NORTHWEST. THESE TWO SOLUTIONS WOULD YIELD EXTREMELY
DIFFERENT WEATHER PATTERNS FOR THE AREA...ONE BEING DRY WITH
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS...AND THE OTHER COOL...WET...AND WINDY.
CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW FOR THIS PERIOD SO HAVE KEPT BOTH TEMPS AND
POPS NEAR CLIMATOLOGY. DF

AVIATION...

WHILE STILL GUSTY...WINDS ARE DECREASING FROM THEIR PEAK THIS
MORNING ACROSS THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NV. WINDS AT KTRK/KTVL ARE
CURRENTLY GUSTING AROUND 30 KTS WITH 35-40 KTS AT KRNO. STRONGEST
WINDS AS OF 20Z ARE FROM A KNFL-KLOL LINE EASTWARD WITH GUSTS OF
50-60 KTS. ALL WINDS WILL DECREASE THIS EVENING.

WIND SHEAR IN A LAYER 500-1500 FEET AGL HAS BEEN REPORTED AT ALL TAF
SITES...BUT HAS DECREASED SINCE THIS MORNING. THE SHEAR SHOULD DROP
OFF AS THE SURFACE WIND BECOMES MORE IN LINE WITH THE UPPER WINDS
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED THROUGH KTRK/KRNO BY
22-23Z AND KTVL AROUND 23-00Z.

SHOWERS CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA WITH SNOW LEVELS AROUND 6500
FEET...DROPPING RAPIDLY TONIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT. MVFR-IFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD BE EXPECTED IN THE SHOWERS AT KTVL/KTRK AND
PERIODS OF MVFR AT KRNO. WIDESPREAD MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION WILL
CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. DF
