AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
312 PM PST WED NOV 17 2010

.SHORT TERM...

...FIRST SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM OF THE SEASON ON ITS WAY...

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WEST COAST WILL GIVE WAY TO A STRONG COLD
TROUGH DROPPING OUT OF THE GULF OF ALASKA THIS WEEKEND. NOT MUCH IN
THE WAY OF PRECIPITABLE WATER...BUT WITH THE EXTREMELY COLD
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND THE SNOW WILL BE LIGHT AND
POWDERY AND WON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM ACCUMULATING IN THE SIERRA.

BY THURSDAY...THE TROUGH WILL PUSH INTO THE PAC NW...WITH THE JET
DIPPING INTO OREGON. WINDS ALOFT WILL INCREASE SHARPLY...WITH 700MB
WINDS REACHING UP TO 55KTS BY THURSDAY MORNING IN NORTHERN CA/NV.
ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE SIERRA AND SIERRA FRONT FROM
RENO-TAHOE NORTHWARD FOR THURSDAY...WITH WINDS EXPECTED TO KICK IN
EARLY IN THE MORNING. STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO GUST NORTH OF
US-50... UP TO 50 MPH...WITH SOME WIND PRONE AREAS ALONG HIGHWAY 395
REACHING UP TO 60 MPH. SIERRA RIDGE GUSTS WILL REACH OVER 90 MPH AT
TIMES ON THURSDAY.

AS THE TROUGH DIPS FURTHER SOUTH ON FRIDAY...WE SHOULD SEE ANOTHER
ROUND OF WINDY CONDITIONS ON FRIDAY...THIS TIME MAINLY SOUTH OF
RENO-TAHOE. ANOTHER WIND ADVISORY FOR FRIDAY MAY BE NECESSARY.
LATEST GFS AND NAM BRING IN PRECIP TO THE NORTHERN SIERRA FRIDAY
EVENING...AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO NORTHERN CA/NV. PRECIP WILL
SPREAD DOWN INTO MONO COUNTY AND THE WESTERN NEVADA VALLEYS LATER
FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA.

WINTER STORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE SIERRA ZONES STARTING
FRIDAY NIGHT AND GOING THROUGH SUNDAY. WE SHOULD SEE A FEW BURSTS OF
HEAVIER PRECIP THROUGH THE WEEKEND...ASSOCIATED WITH THE EMBEDDED
SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH THE MAIN TROUGH. THIS WILL LIKELY CAUSING
SOME MAJOR TRAVEL IMPACTS TO MOST OF THE LOCAL AREA.

WITH THE VERY COLD AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TROUGH...SNOW LEVELS
WILL COME DOWN QUICKLY ON FRIDAY NIGHT TO MOST VALLEY FLOORS. THE
ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE THE LOWEST WESTERN NV VALLEYS NEAR
LOVELOCK...FALLON AND HAWTHORNE WHERE THEY WILL LIKELY SEE A
RAIN/SNOW MIX ON FRIDAY NIGHT-SATURDAY.

BY SATURDAY NIGHT...THE SECOND WAVE WILL COME THROUGH LOWERING SNOW
LEVELS TO ALL VALLEY FLOORS AND DUMPING ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY SNOW
IN THE SIERRA. WITH THE VERY COLD AIR MOVING IN SATURDAY
NIGHT...700MB TEMPS DIPPING TO -12C TO -14C...SNOW RATIOS WILL
INCREASE TO NEAR 20:1 IN THE SIERRA AND SNOW AMOUNTS WILL PILE UP
FAST. BY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING SNOW TOTALS IN THE HIGH SIERRA ABOVE
TAHOE WILL END UP AROUND 2 TO 4 FEET...WITH AROUND 1 TO 2 FEET NEAR
LAKE LEVEL. THERE WILL BE SOME LESS SNOW DOWN INTO MONO
COUNTY...WITH AROUND 1 TO 2 FEET OF SNOW ABOVE 8000 FEET LIKELY.
WE'LL HAVE TO WATCH THE NEXT MODEL RUNS WITH RESPECT TO
MONO...BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE QPF TOTALS HAVE BEEN TRENDING HIGHER.

SNOW AMOUNTS IN THE LOWER WESTERN NV VALLEYS STILL HAVE SOME
UNCERTAINTY...BUT SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW LIKELY. IF MODELS CONTINUE
TO SHOW MORE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW SPILLING OVER INTO WESTERN
NV VALLEYS THIS WEEKEND...WE MAY NEED TO EXPAND THE WINTER STORM
WATCH INTO THE NV VALLEYS FOR SATURDAY NIGHT. SINCE THE BULK OF THE
SNOW IN THE WESTERN NV VALLEYS IS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL SATURDAY
NIGHT...WILL HOLD OFF ON A WATCH FOR THE RENO-CARSON CITY-MINDEN
AREA AT THIS TIME.  HOON

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

AS THE RIDGE OVER SOUTHWEST AK PERSISTS...THE TROUGH OVER THE WEST
COAST WILL CONTINUE TO DROP SNOW ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING. THE LONGWAVE RIDGE WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO TREK SOUTHEAST
MONDAY WHICH WILL ENHANCE NORTH FLOW BRINGING DRIER AIR TO THE
REGION BREAKING UP THE SNOW AND GRANTING US A BRIEF REPRIEVE BY MONDAY
EVENING.

FOLLOWING THE WEEKEND SYSTEM...THERE IS SOME DISAGREEMENT AS TO
WHETHER OR NOT THE AREA WILL BE HIT WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF
PRECIPITATION TUESDAY. THE ECMWF DIGS A WELL AMPLIFIED SHORTWAVE
TROUGH ALONG THE FRONT SIDE OF THE APPROACHING RIDGE FROM AK. IN
THIS SOLUTION A WELL DEFINED...SATURATED FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE
REGION TUESDAY MORNING AND WOULD BE ANOTHER SOLID HIT OF SNOWFALL
FOR THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NV. THE GFS SOLUTION HOWEVER...SHOWS A
MUCH LESS AMPLIFIED SHORTWAVE WITH MOST OF THE DYNAMICS AND MOISTURE
WELL NORTHEAST OF OUR AREA. HAVE KEPT CHANCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE OF
PRECIP IN THE FORECAST THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT FOR NOW.

LONGWAVE RIDGE WILL THEN PROPAGATE SOUTHEAST FOR THE MIDDLE AND
END OF THE WEEK KEEPING NORTH FLOW AND COLD TEMPERATURES ACROSS
THE AREA. DRYING AND CLEARING WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND SUGGEST
TEMPERATURES IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS LIKELY WITH EXPECTED
SNOW COVER. LABELLE

.AVIATION...

WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE AFTER 02Z THIS EVENING AT ALL TERMINALS
AS RIDGE WINDS GREATLY INCREASE DUE TO AN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM. EXPECT LLWS OVERNIGHT THROUGH 15Z THURSDAY MORNING AS
STRONGER SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL THEN MIX TO THE SURFACE. MAX GUSTS OF
40KTS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING.

A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE SIERRA AND WESTERN
NV THIS WEEKEND. IT WILL LIKELY SNOW AT ALL TERMINALS SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY WITH PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER SNOW.
