AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
244 PM PDT SUN MAY 9 2010

.SHORT TERM...
INTERESTING FORECAST TODAY AS WE TRANSITION FROM CONVECTION AHEAD
OF A SHORT WAVE TROF TODAY TO GUSTY WINDS AHEAD OF THE NEXT UPPER
LOW MONDAY MRNG AND AFTN TO ANOTHER TASTE OF WINTER BY LATE MONDAY
INTO MONDAY EVNG.

DIFFLUENCE ALOFT AND LOW LVL INSTABILITY AHEAD OF SHORT WAVE MOVING
INTO THE SIERRA THIS AFTN HAS PRODUCED ISOLATED TSTMS AND SCATTERED
SHOWERS OVER THE RGN. EVEN WITH THE LOSS OF THE LOW LVL INSTABILITY
THIS EVNG THINK THE MID/UPPER LVL INSTABILITY WILL BE ENOUGH TO
CONTINUE SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A FEW TSTMS GIVEN INTO THE EVNG HOURS.
THIS SHORT WAVE PROGRESSES EAST LATE TONIGHT BUT THE NEXT...MORE
SIGNIFICANT UPPER LOW MOVES IN BEHIND IT.

LOW LOCATED NEAR 47N 140W WILL DROP ESE OVERNIGHT AND BEGIN MOVING INTO
NRN CA BY LATE MON MRNG. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING TIMING
OF THIS FEATURE SO CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY HIGH IN ITS FORECAST TO MOVE
ACROSS THE CWA MONDAY AFTN/EVNG. MAIN JET ASCD WITH THIS UPPER LOW
SHOULD DROP INTO THE NRN CWA EARLY MONDAY THEN SLOWLY DROP SOUTH.
POSITION OF THE JET ACROSS THE NRN CWA WILL LIMIT WIND POTENTIAL
THERE...BUT SOUTH OF THE JET WINDS SHOULD KICK UP DURING THE MRNG.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW INSTABILITY INCREASING FROM HWY 50 NORTH
BY EARLY AFTN WITH APPROACH OF THE JET...BUT REMAINING FAIRLY
STABLE ALOFT FOR A LONGER TIME TO THE SOUTH. H700 WINDS NEVER
EXCEED 40 KTS AND MOST OF THE TIME ARE 35 KTS OR LESS ON MONDAY.
TEMPS FALL FAIRLY FAST MONDAY AFTN NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 AS WELL AS
COLD POOL MOVES INTO THE NORTH NORTH OF THE MAIN JET. THINK A FEW
GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH AREA POSSIBLE RENO/CARSON CITY AREA EARLY IN
THE DAY...BUT THESE WILL NOT BE LONG LIVED AS PCPN SPILLS OVER AND
A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE RGN. SOUTH OF HWY 50 PROSPECTS AREA
BETTER FOR LONGER LIVED GUSTS TO 50 MPH OR BETTER AS THE AREA
STAYS SOUTH OF THE JET LONGER...ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO GOOD
INDICATORS OF ENHANCED DOWN SLOPE WINDS. WILL BUMP UP WINDS
THROUGH MONO COUNTY AND INTO ZONE 1 IN NV...MINERAL/LYON...WITH
WIND PRONE AREAS ALONG HWYS 395 AND 95 LIKELY TO SEE THE HIGHEST
GUSTS. WILL RAISE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THESE LOCATIONS. WILL ALSO
INDICATE A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR TAHOE AND PYRAMID AGAIN MONDAY.
WINDS HAVE INCREASED AT TAHOE TODAY AND ARE MARGINAL NOW. PYRAMID
HAS YET TO SEE INCREASED WINDS AND WHILE THEY MAY GUST BRIEFLY
EARLY THIS EVNG THESE WILL NOT BE LONG LIVED ENOUGH TO WARRANT
CONTINUING THE ADVISORY THIS EVNG.

PCPN SHOULD START AS A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW IN THE SIERRA MONDAY
THEN CHANGE TO ALL SNOW AS SNOW LEVELS FALL THROUGH THE DAY. INTO
WRN NV SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP TO THE VALLEY FLOORS IN THE
EVNG...BUT BY THEN THE HEAVIEST PCPN WILL HAVE ENDED. WHILE SOME
ACCUMULATION IS LIKELY ABOVE 6500 FEET IN THE THE SIERRA...MOST
ROAD SURFACES WILL NOT HAVE ADVERSE AFFECTS THROUGH THE
DAY...EXCEPT AT THE VERY HIGHEST PASSES. MONDAY NIGHT WILL OFFER A
BETTER CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATION AS TEMPS DROP..BUT EVEN IN THE
SIERRA THE HEAVIEST PCPN WILL END BETWEEN 11/03 UTC AND 11/06 UTC.
SO DO NOT ANTICIPATE ENOUGH ACCUMULATION TO WARRANT SNOW
ADVISORIES AT THIS TIME.

COOLER TEMPS OVERNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT WITH SHOWERS DEVELOPING THE
ENTIRE CWA. THESE SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO TAPER OFF TUESDAY AS UPPER
LOW MOVES SLOWLY EAST. ECMWF IS STILL TRYING TO INDICATE SOME WRAP
AROUND MSTR LATE TUESDAY AND IS HOLDING POPS INTO FAR WRN NV.
OTHER MODELS ARE NOT AS ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THIS...BUT WILL HANG ON
TO SOME LOW POPS FOR TUESDAY AFTN INTO TUES EVNG TO ACCOUNT FOR
THIS. LOWERED TEMPS A FEW DEGREES TUESDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR INCREASED
CLOUD COVER...PRESENCE OF UPPER LOW OVER THE RGN AND CONTINUED
THREAT OF PCPN ALL COMBINING TO REDUCE HEATING. MLF

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
NUDGED DOWN HIGHS SLIGHTLY WEDNESDAY OTHERWISE LITTLE TO NO CHANGE
TO EXTENDED GRIDS.

COOL NORTHERLY FLOW WEDNESDAY WILL KEEP HIGHS 5-10 DEGREES BELOW
AVERAGE. WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...A WEAK IMPULSE WILL MOVE
DOWN THE BACKSIDE OF THE EXITING TROUGH THROUGH CALIFORNIA. THIS IS
NOT EXPECTED TO DO MUCH OTHER THAN PERHAPS BUILD A FEW CUMULUS ON
THE SIERRA THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND TERRAIN
CONVERGENCE. HOWEVER...IT MAY KEEP TEMPS DOWN A BIT MORE THAN WE
HAVE CURRENTLY INDICATED FOR THURSDAY (ALTHOUGH NOT MORE THAN A FEW
DEGREES).

FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...THE TAIL END OF A PACIFIC NORTHWEST
DISTURBANCE WILL SWIPE OUR NORTHERN CWA WITH A LOW CHANCE OF LIGHT
SHOWERS.

FINALLY BY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...THE REGION SHOULD BE UNDER MODEST
RIDGING WITH SOME MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE SKIRTING THE NORTHWEST
CWA IN SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS FLOW SHOULD ALLOW HIGH TEMPS TO
WARM TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE WITH SOLID 70S TO EVEN LOW
80S OUT IN THE BASIN AND RANGE. WITH THE GLANCING MOISTURE I HAVE
LEFT THE RUNNING SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR NOW. SNYDER
&&

.AVIATION...
LIFT FOR THUNDERSTORMS NEAR KTRK/KTVL/KRNO HAS WANED SIGNIFICANTLY
WITH THE THREAT FOR THUNDER SHIFTING EAST OF KRNO INTO THIS EVENING.
GUSTS 35-40 KTS AND VERY SMALL HAIL PSBL WITH SHOWERS AND STORMS
EARLY THIS EVENING WELL EAST OF KRNO (WHERE THE SURFACE HAS NOT BEEN
RAIN-COOLED). FOR THE TERMINALS...A FEW SHOWERS COULD HANG AROUND
TIL 00Z-02Z ESPECIALLY IN THE SIERRA.

MONDAY...A STRONGER SYSTEM WILL BRING A BRIEF PERIOD OF GUSTY WINDS
(35 KTS FOR KRNO) FOLLOWED BY SNOW AROUND 18Z FOR KTRK/KTVL AND RAIN
FOR KRNO BETWEEN 21Z-00Z. VIS/CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO CRASH BELOW MINS
FOR SIERRA SITES FROM ARND 21Z TO 03Z/06Z TUESDAY AS SNOW INTENSIFIES.

FOR KRNO...RAIN WILL CHANGE TO SNOW 00Z-03Z TUESDAY WITH A PERIOD OF
LOWERED CIGS/VSBYS PRIOR TO 06Z. SNOW SHOULD NOT ACCUMULATE ON THE
RUNWAY MONDAY EVENING WITH VERY WARM GROUND TEMPS. SNYDER
