AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
334 AM PST THU MAR 11 2010

.SHORT TERM...

SHORTWAVE RIDGE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION TODAY WILL PROVIDE A
SHORT LIVED BREAK IN THE RECENT ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WITH TEMPS
REBOUNDING TO NEAR NORMAL AND LIGHT WINDS. AS THE RIDGE SLIDES
TONIGHT IN RESPONSE TO NEXT APPROACHING PACIFIC TROF...HIGH CLOUDS
WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE OVER THE REGION.

THE NEXT TROF WILL REACH THE WEST COAST BY FRI AFTERNOON WITH
INCREASING WIND AND PRECIP SPREADING OVER THE REGION FROM WEST TO
EAST. THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE A BETTER MOISTURE TAP THAN THE
PREVIOUS TWO SHORTWAVES BASED ON THE LATEST MODEL QPF APPROACHING
1 INCH NEAR THE SIERRA CREST. SNOW LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE
FROM 6500-7000 FT THRU FRI AFTN FOR THE TAHOE BASIN AND AROUND
6000 FT FOR NERN CA BEFORE DROPPING QUICKLY FRI EVE...EVENTUALLY
DOWN TO ALL VALLEY FLOORS BY LATE FRI NIGHT. AS A RESULT...THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS NEAR THE CREST WEST OF LAKE TAHOE HAVE A DECENT
CHANCE OF RECEIVING A FOOT OF SNOWFALL. AT LAKE LEVEL THE AMOUNTS
WILL BE MORE LIMITED...POSSIBLY 4 TO 8 INCHES AT BEST...DUE TO A
PERIOD OF RAIN BEFORE THE CHANGEOVER TO SNOW BY EARLY FRIDAY
EVENING. FOR THE LASSEN ZONE...ONLY THE HIGHEST PASSES APPEAR TO
BE IN LINE FOR ADVISORY CRITERIA SNOW AMOUNTS...WITH ONLY A FEW
INCHES OF SNOW ELSEWHERE IN THE ZONE AFTER PRECIP STARTS AS RAIN.
FOR MONO COUNTY...SNOW AMOUNTS MAY REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA NEAR
THE SIERRA CREST...ALTHOUGH THE MOISTURE BAND IS STILL EXPECTED
TO WEAKEN AS IT PROGRESSES TO THE SOUTH. 700 MB FLOW OF 50 TO 55
KT WILL PRODUCE STRONG RIDGE GUSTS OF AT LEAST 100 MPH IN THE
SIERRA.

FOR THE LOWER ELEVATIONS...STRONG WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN
FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. POTENTIAL FOR WIND GUSTS REACHING
ADVISORY CRITERIA IS DECENT...BUT HIGH WIND POTENTIAL IS LOW AS
VERTICAL PROFILES SHOW THE CRITICAL STABLE LAYER SETTING UP LOWER
THAN THE OPTIMAL ELEVATION.

SNOW IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS INCLUDING THE RENO AREA WILL BE
LIMITED...ALTHOUGH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD POOL ALOFT LATE FRI
NIGHT MAY PRODUCE A SHORT DURATION BAND OF HEAVIER SNOW.

BY SATURDAY MORNING...THE STEADY PRECIP WILL BE OVER WITH
LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS DISSIPATING AS DRIER AIR MOVES INTO THE
REGION. THE FAR EASTERN PORTIONS OF PERSHING AND CHURCHILL
COUNTIES MAY SEE A FEW SNOW SHOWERS LINGER INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON BEFORE THE CYCLONIC FLOW MOVES FARTHER TO THE EAST.
TEMPS AGAIN DROP TO ABOUT 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL SATURDAY WITH
40S OVER MOST LOWER ELEVATIONS AND BRISK NW-N WINDS...FOLLOWED BY
ONE MORE CHILLY NIGHT AS SKIES CLEAR AND WINDS DIMINISH. MJD

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

RIDGE TO BUILD INTO THE REGION SUNDAY IN WAKE OF DEPARTING LOW
FOR SIGNIFICANT WARMING TREND. RIDGE AXIS TO SHIFT OVER THE SIERRA
MONDAY WITH TEMPS JUMPING INTO THE MID 60S IN WRN NV VALLEYS WITH
CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS. RIDGE AXIS TO SHIFT EAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA TUESDAY AS A TROUGH APPROACHES THE WEST COAST. STILL A
MILD DAY EXPECTED WITH SOME INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS AND GRADUAL
STRENGTHENING SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS.

FOR WEDNESDAY...MODELS PUSH ENERGY EJECTING FROM GULF OF ALASKA LOW
INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.  00Z ECMWF IS FARTHER NORTH WITH THE
TRACK THAN IT SOLUTIONS YESTERDAY.  MAIN ISSUE IS HOW MUCH THE RIDGE
WILL FLATTEN AND IF THERE WILL BE WARM AIR ADVECTION PRECIP NEAR THE
OREGON BORDER.  THINKING OR MID WEEK IS FOR INCREASED WINDS AND A
BIT OF COOLING WITH RAIN REMAINING NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA.  BRONG

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR CONDITIONS TODAY...WITH SYSTEM AFFECTING THE TERMINALS
FRIDAY-FRIDAY NIGHT.

APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND UPPER JET WILL BRING STRONG RIDGE WINDS
OF 60-80KTS...DEVELOPING OF MOUNTAIN WAVE AND 35-45KT SURFACE GUSTS
FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY EVENING.  PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW LIKELY
FOR KTRK AND KTVL LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY MORNING...WITH
CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW AT KRNO. BRONG
