AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
347 AM PDT MON APR 26 2010

.SHORT TERM...
ANOTHER WARM DAY ACROSS THE REGION TODAY AS THE RIDGE OVER THE GREAT
BASIN EXITS TO THE EAST. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE
THIS AFTERNOON MARKING THE BEGINNING OF AN OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN
CHANGE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

THIS AFTERNOON WINDS WILL PICK UP FROM TAHOE NORTHWARD AS THE DEEP
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WE HAVE BEEN ANTICIPATING FINALLY MAKES ITS WAY
TOWARDS THE NORTHWEST US COAST. HAVE ISSUED A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AS THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT
BEGINS TO TIGHTEN OVER THE SIERRA. THIS WILL MARK THE BEGINNING OF A
STRONG WIND EVENT OVER THE REGION TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

GFS/ECMWF SHOW THE UPPER JET TO BE CENTERED OVER THE NORTHWESTERN
HALF OF THE CWA BY 12Z TUESDAY...INCREASING WINDS CONSIDERABLY AS IT
CONTINUES TO MOVE OVER THE AREA. HAVE DECIDED TO HANDLE THIS EVENT
ACCORDING TO CONFIDENCE REGARDING PRODUCTS ISSUED THIS MORNING. HIGH
CONFIDENCE FOR THE TAHOE ZONE TO RECEIVE SOLID ADVISORY WIND SPEEDS
EARLY TUESDAY SO WILL LET THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY LEAD INTO A ZONAL
WIND ADVISORY BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
FOR EXTREME NORTHEASTERN CA...WILL ALSO GO WITH A WIND ADVISORY AS
THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN STRONGER WINDS AFFECTING THE 395
CORRIDOR. WINDS WILL DISSIPATE AS HEAVIER PRECIP MOVES INTO THE AREA
FROM THE NORTHWEST EARLY TOMORROW AFTERNOON. FINALLY HAVE ISSUED A
HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THE LEE OF THE SIERRA AND POINTS EAST IN MONO
COUNTY BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT AND ENDING TOMORROW EVENING. IN
ADDITION TO A STRONG SURFACE GRADIENT BUILDING OVER THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA...THERE IS GOOD INDICATION OF A SHORT LIVED DOWNSLOPE PATTERN
EVOLVING IN THE LEE OF THE MOUNTAINS.

DECIDED TO KEEP THE HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE RENO/CARSON CITY/MINDEN
AREA AS NOT TOO SURE WHETHER IT WILL BE A HIGH END ADVISORY OR LOW
END WARNING EVENT. SAME THOUGHT FOR MINERAL COUNTY...SO WILL LEAVE
IT TO THE DAY SHIFT TO DECIDE. THE MAIN STORY IS THAT IT WILL BE
VERY WINDY AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION.

MODELS STILL AGREE ON THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT AS IT IS EXPECTED
TO BEGIN TO MOVE THROUGH LASSEN AND PLUMAS COUNTY BY TUESDAY
MORNING. IT WILL THEN PROGRESS SOUTHEAST AND INTRODUCE HEAVIER
PRECIP IN TAHOE AND WESTERN NV TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL NOT BE A
SHADOWING EVENT AS THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET WILL PUSH RAIN INTO
WESTERN NV TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SNOW LEVELS WILL START OUT
ABOVE 8000 FEET AND SLOWLY DROP TO AROUND 5500 FEET BY TUESDAY
NIGHT. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR BEFORE THE COLD ARRIVES
SO EXPECTING MOST PRECIP IN SIERRA VALLEYS AND WESTERN NV TO BE
RAIN. HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT THE AREA OF THE HEAVIEST PRECIP WILL BE
FROM TAHOE NORTHWARD WITH 1-2 INCHES STORM TOTAL IS POSSIBLE. THERE
IS SOME CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATION ABOVE 7000 FEET
BUT NOT TOO CONFIDENT.

PRECIP WILL BEGIN TO DWINDLE FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE TUESDAY
NIGHT AS TEMPERATURES PLUMMET IN THE COLD POST FRONTAL AIR. SHOWERS
ARE POSSIBLE INTO WEDNESDAY DUE TO THE INSTABILITY WITHIN THE COLD
POOL. TEMPERATURES WILL BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WEDNESDAY
AS THE TROUGH PUSHES EAST. LABELLE

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
MADE FEW CHANGES HERE AS MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH SATURDAY
THEN DIVERGE A BIT FOR SUNDAY. THURSDAY SHOULD SEE A FEW MORE
SHOWERS BEFORE A SHORT WAVE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW MOVES IN
EARLY FRIDAY REINFORCING COLD AIR AND SHOWERS. THIS SHORT WAVE HAS
THE TRAJECTORY OF AN INSIDE SLIDER SO IT WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED
CLOSELY. POPS FOR NV SIERRA FRONT TO MONO/MINERAL COUNTIES MAY NEED
TO BE ADJUSTED UPWARD SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE COMING DAYS IF JET
LOCATION/INSTABILITY ARE FAVORABLE.

BY SATURDAY...LOW WILL SLOWLY PULL AWAY WITH MORE NORTHERLY FLOW.
NOT SURE HOW MANY SHOWERS WILL REMAIN...BUT WILL KEEP IN SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR NOW. TEMPS WILL BEGIN TO MODIFY...BUT STILL REMAIN A FEW
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

FOR SUNDAY...EC MOST AGGRESSIVE IN FLATTENING EAST PAC BUILDING
RIDGE WHILE GFS HAS A MODERATE AMPLITUDE RIDGE BUILDING JUST OFF THE
COAST. GEFS SUPPORTS GFS WHILE 12Z EC ENSEMBLE SHOWS HUGE SPREAD.
WILL GO IN BETWEEEN WITH WEAK RIDGING. SUN DOES LOOK DRY EITHER WAY
PER GFS/EC...AND ALSO SHOULD SEE TEMPS APPROACH NORMAL. THE
DIFFERENCES REALLY START TO IMPACT THE FORECAST JUST BEYOND THE
CURRENT 7-DAY PERIOD. WALLMANN
