AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
908 AM PDT THU AUG 26 2010

.UPDATE...
UPDATED TO REMOVE THUNDERSTORMS FOR LAKE TAHOE AND RENO-CARSON CITY
THIS MORNING AND TO RAISE DEWPOINTS SIGNIFICANTLY BASED ON OBS.

THE ALTOCUMULUS/ACCAS HAS MOVED OFF TO EAST OF PYRAMID LAKE AND
DOES NOT LOOK THAT IMPRESSIVE YET BASED ON SATELLITE AND LOOKING
OFF TO THE NORTHEAST FROM THE OFFICE. HOWEVER...AS THE UPPER
DISTURBANCE (CURRENTLY NEAR SAN FRANCISCO) APPROACHES IN THE NEXT
FEW HOURS IT WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON LIFTING/COOLING THE ATMOSPHERE
AND WE WILL BEGIN TAPPING INTO BOUNDARY LAYER AIR WHICH HAS MOISTENED
CONSIDERABLY SINCE YESTERDAY. THEREFORE...SCATTERED STORMS OVER
THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN CWA STILL LOOKS ON TRACK. SNYDER
&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 705 AM PDT THU AUG 26 2010/

UPDATE...

12Z SOUNDING CAME IN WITH 0.86" PRECIPITABLE WATER THIS
MORNING...VERY MOIST SHOWING HOW MUCH THE MONSOONAL MOISTURE HAS
REALLY GOTTEN PULLED UP INTO OUR AREA. STARTING TO GET A GOOD LOOK
AT SOME OF THE MORNING INSTABILITY OUTSIDE OUR WINDOW HERE IN
RENO...WITH SOME ALTOCUMULUS ALREADY BUILDING JUST TO THE EAST.
VERY UNSTABLE SOUNDING HAS INDICES OF -3 LIFTED INDEX AND 575 J/KG
CAPE AND DEW POINTS ACROSS THE REGION ARE IN THE MID-UPPER 40S.
THE FLOW ALOFT IS ALSO REALLY STRONG OUT OF THE SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST...WHICH WILL MAKE FOR SOME FAST MOVING STORMS THIS
AFTERNOON. FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK...ESPECIALLY WITH THE SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS EAST AND SOUTH OF RENO AND GUSTY WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON.

STORMS TODAY WILL PRODUCE BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL...STRONG GUSTS UP
TO 50 MPH AND SMALL HAIL. NOT REALLY EXPECTING TOO MANY FLASH
FLOODING PROBLEMS...BUT ANY STORMS THAT CONTINUE TO REDEVELOP OVER
THE SAME AREAS MAY CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS.

THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A COUPLE SEVERE STORMS THIS
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY WITH THE +30KTS OF 3-8KM BULK WIND SHEAR
ALOFT. AGAIN...BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE WILL BE EAST OF HIGHWAY 395
AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80.

STILL A CHANCE THAT WE MAY SEE SOME ISOLATED STORMS IN THE RENO-
TAHOE AREA THIS MORNING AS THE UPPER WAVE MOVES INLAND...BUT THE
MAIN FOCUS WILL STILL BE IN THE EASTERN ZONES THIS AFTERNOON.  HOON

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 309 AM PDT THU AUG 26 2010/

SHORT TERM...

MONSOONAL MOISTURE IS ADVECTING INTO THE AREA WITH SOME LOCATIONS
MEASURING DEW POINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S EARLY THIS MORNING.
LOOKING AT THE WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGE...AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE LOCATED WEST OF POINT CONCEPTION CONTINUES TO MOVE
TOWARDS THE REGION. STRONG UPPER LOW WILL EJECT A SHORTWAVE AND PULL
THE DISTURBANCE ACROSS THE AREA BRINGING INCREASED MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY TO THE EASTERN SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA. UPPER LEVEL
JET STREAK IS PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION WHICH COINCIDES WITH
A THETA-E AXIS AND MONSOONAL MOISTURE SURGING UP FROM SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA. SLIGHT CHANCE FOR ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS EARLY THIS
MORNING...MAINLY IN MONO COUNTY AND UP TO RENO-TAHOE.

BEST INSTABILITY FOR THUNDERSTORM FORMATION WILL SHIFT EAST OF RENO
BY EARLY AFTERNOON TODAY AS SOUTHWEST WINDS INITIATE ALONG THE
SIERRA FRONT. WITH THE UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK OVERHEAD WINDS WILL
PICK UP ALONG THE SIERRA FRONT WITH RIDGE GUSTS BETWEEN 55 AND 65
MPH THIS AFTERNOON. WITH MODERATE WIND SHEAR IN PLACE SOME STORM
ORGANIZATION IS POSSIBLE...WHICH WOULD ALLOW STRONGER STORM CORES TO
INITIATE EAST OF A LOVELOCK TO HAWTHORNE LINE. WITH THE AMOUNT OF
MOISTURE IN PLACE TO THE SOUTH...MOST STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
WET...BUT SOME DRY THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP ALONG THE I80
CORRIDOR.

WESTERLY WINDS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY WILL CONFINE ALL CONVECTION EAST
OF THE CWA LEAVING THE RIDGES ALONG THE SIERRA WITH GUSTY WINDS
BETWEEN 25 AND 35 MPH. TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO COOL AS HEIGHTS DROP
AND THE COLD POOL ASSOCIATED WITH THE MAIN LOW BEGINS TO DIG DOWN
FROM THE NORTHWEST. HIGHS FRIDAY WILL BE ROUGHLY 5-10 DEGREES COOLER
THAN TODAY. FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY MORNING A STRONG COLD
FRONT SWINGS THROUGH THE REGION BRINGING INCREASING CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA. TEMPERATURES
WILL COOL AGAIN SATURDAY WITH MOST LOCATIONS 10-15 DEGREES BELOW
AVERAGE...WITH HIGHS IN THE 60S FOR THE SIERRA VALLEYS AND IN THE
70S FOR LOWER VALLEYS. LINDAMAN

LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE LONG TERM FORECAST. FALL-LIKE TROUGH WILL
DROP INTO THE GREAT BASIN AS WE GO INTO SUNDAY. LATEST GFS ENSEMBLE
RUNS CONTINUE VERY LITTLE SPREAD AND ARE SHOWING 500MB HEIGHTS
BETWEEN 3 TO 4 STD DEV BELOW AVERAGE. KEPT TEMPERATURES FOR SUNDAY
WELL BELOW MOS GUIDANCE...WITH MID-UPPER 60S IN WESTERN NV AND
MID-UPPER 50S IN THE SIERRA. NUMEROUS RAIN SHOWERS AND EVEN SOME
THUNDERSTORMS UNDERNEATH THE COLD POOL ALOFT WILL HELP TO KEEP
TEMPERATURES PRETTY COOL ON SUN.

700MB TEMPS WILL DROP TO BELOW FREEZING...BRINGING SNOW LEVELS DOWN
TO AROUND 9000 FEET. NOT REALLY GOING TO AFFECT MAJOR
POPULATION...BUT INTERESTING ENOUGH THAT WE MAY SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW
IN THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS AFTER THIS LOW MOVES OUT OF THE AREA.

LATEST ECMWF STILL TAKES THE MAIN ENERGY TO THE SOUTH OF MONO
COUNTY...SO KEPT THE CHANCE FOR SOME WRAP AROUND PRECIP IN MONO
COUNTY LINGERING INTO MONDAY MORNING. MODELS SEEM TO BE
FLIP-FLOPPING ON THE TRACK OF THE MAIN ENERGY...SO DID NOT RAISE
POPS DOWN SOUTH FOR MONDAY EITHER.

LOW WILL MOVE OUT OF THE AREA ABOUT AS FAST AS IT CAME IN...WITH
TEMPERATURES BOUNCING BACK ABOUT 5-10 DEGREES MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
EXPECT SOME AVERAGE LATE SUMMER TEMPERATURES AS WE GO INTO THE
SECOND HALF OF NEXT WEEK WITH DRY CONDITIONS.  HOON

AVIATION...

WINDS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TODAY AROUND 20Z IN THE VALLEYS...WITH
GUSTS 30-35KT FROM THE SOUTHWEST. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED -TSRA WILL
DEVELOP MAINLY TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF KRNO. THERE IS A 10% CHANCE
OF -TSRA AFFECTING KRNO-KTRK-KTVL THIS MORNING...MAINLY BETWEEN
12-18Z. AFTER THAT...WEST WINDS WILL PREVENT ANY STORMS OVER TAHOE
AND RENO.  HOON

FIRE WEATHER...

BUSY FIRE WEATHER EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. DEEP TROUGH
APPROACHES NORTHERN CA TODAY...ALONG WITH A SURGE OF MONSOON
MOISTURE PUSHING IN FROM THE SOUTH. WINDS WILL BE FAIRLY STRONG
TODAY WITH GUSTS 35-40 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WINDS WILL
BE BREEZY OVER MONO AND MINERAL COUNTIES...BUT WITH THE INFLUX OF
MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH...RH VALUES MOSTLY REMAIN ABOVE 20% OR
NON-CRITICAL ...SO WILL NOT ISSUE RED FLAG FOR THOSE ZONES AT THIS
TIME. MIN RH THIS AFTERNOON OF 10-15% NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 WILL BE
CRITICAL FOR RED FLAGS.

INFLUX OF MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH WILL ALSO BRING A THREAT OF
THUNDERSTORMS AND LIGHTNING TO REGION TODAY. BEST CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS LOOK TO BE EAST AND SOUTH OF RENO THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...WHERE THE BEST MOISTURE AND FORCING ARE COMING TOGETHER.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ON THE BLENDED TPW ALREADY SHOWING OVER
0.8" OVER EASTERN CALIFORNIA ALREADY THIS MORNING. THIS IS EXPECTED
TO PUSH EAST INTO EASTERN NEVADA AS THE LOW APPROACHES. THE TRICKY
PART WILL BE THE TRANSITION BETWEEN WET AND DRY STORMS...BECAUSE
THE FURTHER NORTH YOU GO...THE STRONGER WINDS ALOFT...FASTER
STORMS...AND LOWER PWAT WILL ALLOW FOR LESS PRECIP TO REACH THE
GROUND. MIX OF WET/DRY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LIKELY ALONG THE
INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR EAST OF RENO IN PERSHING AND CHURCHILL
COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON...WITH WETTER STORMS FURTHER SOUTH INTO MONO
AND MINERAL COUNTIES. LIGHTNING MAY SPARK NEW FIRES THIS
AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL GET FANNED BY GUSTY WINDS. SOME STORMS MAY
BECOME SEVERE TODAY WITH GUSTY AND ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS UP TO 60
MPH.

FIRE WEATHER WATCHES STILL IN PLACE FOR FRIDAY...WITH MAIN AREAS OF
CONCERN BEING FROM INTERSTATE 80 SOUTHWARD. DRY SLOT ALOFT WILL GET
ENTRAINED INTO THE BOUNDARY LAYER FOR MUCH DRIER CONDITIONS COMPARED
TO TODAY...EXCEPT FOR THE WINDS MAY NOT BE QUITE AS WIDESPREAD.
