AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
1030 AM PST MON NOV 22 2010

.UPDATE...
UPDATED FORECAST TO EXPIRE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN THE TAHOE
BASIN. SNOW HAS TAPERED TO LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS AND ADDITIONAL
ACCUMULATION WILL BE GENERALLY UNDER 3 INCHES AND ALONG THE CREST.
ALSO SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE WIND GUSTS APPROACHING 40-45
MPH IN SOME FOOTHILL LOCATIONS.

NEXT SYSTEM DROPPING DOWN THE COAST WITH SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING
DECENT MOISTURE TAP FOR A SYSTEM COMING IN FROM THE NORTH. DYNAMIC
ARCTIC FRONT AND MOISTURE/VERY COLD SYSTEM STILL SUGGESTING DECENT
SNOWFALL FOR THE CURRENT WARNING AREA. AMOUNTS FOR THE I-80 AND
HIGHWAY 50 CORRIDORS WILL BE QUITE A BIT LIGHTER ALTHOUGH
SPILLOVER AHEAD OF FRONT TO THE WEST OF HIGHWAY 395 COULD RESULT
IN A LONGER PERIOD OF SNOWFALL AND LOCALLY HEAVIER SNOW AMOUNTS BY
MIDDAY TUESDAY. WILL BE FINE TUNING THE DETAILS FOR TUESDAYS
SYSTEM. ALREADY BUMPED RIDGE WINDS UP AS GUSTS WILL BE APPROACHING
100 MPH. HOHMANN

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 355 AM PST MON NOV 22 2010/

SHORT TERM...
SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE REGION OVERNIGHT BROUGHT SNOW
SHOWERS TO MANY LOCATIONS...WITH THE HEAVIEST SNOW CONFINED TO THE
SIERRA. WHILE MOST OF THE PRECIP SHOULD END ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN
NEVADA LATER THIS MORNING...LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE IN THE
SIERRA THE REST OF TODAY WITH ONLY MINOR ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS
EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL AS AN
UNSEASONABLY COLD UPPER LOW REMAINS OVER THE WRN US.

FOR TUESDAY...A STRONG...FAST MOVING ARCTIC FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
PASS THROUGH THE REGION. THIS FRONT IS EXTREMELY DYNAMIC...WITH VERY
STRONG FRONTOGENESIS ALONG THE COLD FRONT AND 700MB TEMPS BEHIND THE
FRONT EVENTUALLY DROPPING TO LESS THAN -20C. EXPECT A BURST OF HEAVY
SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS ALONG THE FRONT AS IT DIVES SOUTHWARD THROUGH
THE FORECAST AREA. THE SIERRA COULD EASILY SEE ANOTHER FOOT OR TWO
ON TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY AS THERE WILL BE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF LIGHT
TO MODERATE SNOW SHOWERS AHEAD OF THE MAIN FRONT. FURTHER EAST...THE
SPEED OF THE FRONT COULD LIMIT ACCUMULATIONS SOME ACROSS WESTERN
NEVADA...HOWEVER STILL COULD SEE SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATE
WITH THE MAIN BAND. GUSTY WINDS ALONG THE FRONT COULD CAUSE BRIEF
PERIODS OF NEAR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS. CURRENT FORECAST HAS THE FRONT
NEAR A SUSANVILLE TO GERLACH LINE AROUND 10 AM TUESDAY...THEN NEAR A
RENO-TAHOE TO FALLON LINE AROUND MID DAY...EVENTUALLY PUSHING
THROUGH MONO-MINERAL COUNTIES LATE TUESDAY EVENING. WILL LIKELY
UPGRADE WINTER STORM WATCHES TO WARNINGS FOR ALL ZONES EXCEPT 3 AND
4. WILL LEAVE ZONES 3 AND 4 UNDER A WATCH FOR NOW AS SOME DETAILS
STILL NEED TO BE IRONED OUT.

GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS
700 MB FLOW INCREASES TO 50-60 KTS...SO DECIDED TO ISSUE A WIND
ADVISORY FOR THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING FOR ZONE 3. GUSTS
TO 50 MPH POSSIBLE WITH LOCALLY HIGHER GUSTS IN THE WIND PRONE AREAS
ALONG HIGHWAY 395.

THE WEATHER WILL DRY OUT WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH AND FRONT
EXIT THE REGION...HOWEVER IT WILL BE QUITE COLD. MORNING LOWS WILL
RANGE FROM THE SINGLE DIGITS TO BELOW ZERO IN MANY AREAS. HIGHS WILL
ONLY CLIMB INTO THE 20S IN MANY OF THE VALLEY LOCATIONS.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
SHORT WAVE RIDGE TO HOLD THU/FRI IN WAKE OF VERY COLD TROUGH BEFORE
ANOTHER SYSTEM APPROACHES FOR THE WEEKEND. MODELS IN DECENT
AGREEMENT WITH THE OVERALL PATTERN ALTHOUGH DIFFER ON DETAILS
ESPECIALLY CONCERNING NEXT SYSTEM FOR THE WEEKEND.

DID NOT MAKE A LOT OF CHANGES TO THU/FRI WITH MUCH BELOW NORMAL
VALLEY TEMPS EXPECTED. WITH RIDGE FLATTER THAN EARLIER PROGS...HAVE
COOLED MTN TEMPS A BIT. STILL EXPECT INVERSIONS TO PLAGUE LOWER
VALLEYS NORTH OF HWY 50. DID ADJUST TEMPS UPWARD A BIT ON FRI SOUTH
OF HWY 50 WHERE LITTLE SNOW COVER IS EXPECTED. WHILE H7 WINDS DO
INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST...THEY ARE 25 KTS OR LESS BY 00Z SAT. DO
NOT EXPECT THE INVERSIONS TO MIX YET ALTHOUGH BETTER CHANCE ALONG
THE OREGON BORDER AS H7 TEMPS ARE NEAR -6C AND H7 WINDS ARE NEAR 40
KTS. LOWS FRI MORNING WILL BE COLD AGAIN FOR SNOW COVERED VALLEYS
AND WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THOSE VALLEYS ARE A GOOD 5 DEGREES
COLDER THAN NUMBERS I HAVE IN RIGHT NOW.

FOR THE WEEKEND...MODELS ARE BACK TO A BIT FASTER AND FLATTER
SOLUTION WITH MORE W-SW FLOW INSTEAD OF SOUTH. ENSEMBLES ALSO SHOW A
MORE PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM SO HAVE LEANED BACK IN THIS DIRECTION.
VALLEY TEMPS WILL ACTUALLY WARM THIS WEEKEND AS THEY MIX WITH
WINDS/PRECIP BUT STILL BE BELOW NORMAL. SNOW LEVELS TO START OFF
5-6000 FEET BEFORE FALLING BACK TO VALLEY FLOORS BY SUN. PRECIP
AMOUNTS DO NOT LOOK THAT IMPRESSIVE RIGHT NOW WITH LIGHT-MODERATE
SNOWS FOR THE SIERRA AND VERY LIGHT PRECIP INTO WRN NV. WALLMANN

AVIATION...
WK SYSTEM TO MV THRU THIS MORNING THEN A BIT OF A BREAK FOR THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING. NEXT SYSTEM WITH STRONG COLD FRONT TO ARRIVE AFT
