AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
301 AM PDT FRI JUL 15 2011

.SYNOPSIS...A PERSISTENT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST WILL CONTINUE TO BRING WARM AND BREEZY CONDITIONS TO THE
SILVER STATE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
COULD BE POSSIBLE ACROSS HUMBOLDT COUNTY TODAY...WITH DRY
CONDITIONS ACROSS EASTERN NEVADA. A WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED TO
BEGIN ON SUNDAY AND CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS
MORNING SHOWS A DISTINCT SHORTWAVE OVER NORTHERN CALI...WITH A
65KT JET STREAK OVER CENTRAL NEVADA. MOISTURE RIBBON LOOKS LIKE IT
IS PIVOTING BACK WEST OVER WESTERN NV...WITH PWAT VALUES EXPECTED
TO DROP BELOW THE CRITICAL .5" FOR ALL OF THE CWA EXCEPT HUMBOLDT
COUNTY AND EXTREME EASTERN LANDER COUNTY...AND ALONG THE ID/NV
BORDER. MOST CONCENTRATED AFTERNOON CONVECTION IS EXPECTED ACROSS
WESTERN HUMBOLDT COUNTY...AS THIS AREA WILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF THE DYNAMIC TROP FOLD ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE.
GFS/NAM ARE INDICATING 500-300MB LAPSE RATES APPROACHING 8C/KM AND
PWAT VALUES AROUND .6". STORMS WILL BE A MIX OF WET/DRY WITH THE
STRONGEST STORMS PRODUCING UP TO .05" OF RAIN. ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE CWA TODAY IT WILL BE BREEZY AND DRY WITH HIGHS
IN THE MID-80S. SATURDAY WILL BE EVEN DRIER AS PWAT VALUES DROP TO
.25" ACROSS ALL OF THE CWA...EXCEPT HUMBOLDT COUNTY. WINDS WILL
ALSO BE A LITTLE HIGHER AS MID-LEVEL JET WINDS MIX DOWN TO THE
SURFACE ALLOWING FOR WINDS GUSTS OVER 30MPH...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
CENTRAL AND EASTERN NV.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY. DRY SW FLOW
WILL PREVAIL ENSURING A DRY FORECAST FOR MOST OF NEVADA STRAIGHT
THROUGH NEXT WEEK.

EXCEPTIONALLY DRY AIR ARRIVES SUNDAY...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES FALLING TO LESS THAN 0.25 INCH FOR MOST OF NEVADA. MODELS
HAVE BEEN VERY CONSISTENT IN PROJECTING LAYER RH TO FALL TO 7-15%
SUNDAY AS STRONG SW FLOW ALOFT PULLS DRY AIR IN FROM THE EASTERN
PACIFIC. SURFACE DEWPOINTS FOLLOW SUIT SUNDAY...5-15 DEGREES IN THE
AFTERNOON /PERHAPS NEAR ZERO IN NYE COUNTY/. STRONG SOUTH WINDS WILL
BRING FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS /SEE BELOW/. SUNDAY WILL BE THE HOTTEST
DAY OF THE WEEKEND AS WELL...WITH MOST VALLEYS CLIMBING INTO THE
LOWER 90S.

MONDAY...TROUGH PERSISTS ALONG THE PACIFIC NW COAST. IN FACT...00Z
ECMWF MODEL INTENSIFIES THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE TROUGH INTO A
CLOSED 568 DM LOW NEAR EUREKA CALIFORNIA MONDAY EVENING. THIS
EVOLUTION WOULD TEND TO DRAW THE ESTABLISHED MONSOON FLOW IN UTAH
AND ARIZONA WESTWARD TO EXTREME EASTERN NEVADA. PERHAPS AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM IN EASTERN WHITE PINE COUNTY MONDAY...CURRENTLY EXPECT
NOTHING MORE THAN THAT AS DRY AIR MAINTAINS ITS GRIP ON MOST OF
NEVADA. HOT TEMPERATURES MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH LOW TO MID 90S
PREDOMINATING.

TUESDAY...TROUGH EJECTS JUST TO THE NORTH OF NEVADA. THIS WILL SERVE
ONLY TO INCREASE THE TRANSPORT OF DRY W/SW WINDS INTO THE GREAT
BASIN...SHUNTING ALL MONSOON MOISTURE WELL EAST OF US. THICKNESSES
DO DECREASE WITH THE TROUGH PASSAGE FOR ABOUT 5 DEGREES OF COOLING
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY...MORE DRY AIR FOR NEVADA AS TROUGH ONLY
REORGANIZES IN THE PACIFIC NW. RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD
NEAR 0% AS THE DRY PATTERN CONTINUES NEXT WEEK. BT

&&

.AVIATION...VFR AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND.
FROM 18Z FRI-03Z SAT EXPECT ISOLATED -TSRA ACROSS HUMBOLDT AND
NORTHERN ELKO COUNTIES. BEST INSTABILITY NEAR THE OREGON/IDAHO
BORDERS...VERY LITTLE CONFIDENCE THAT CONVECTION WILL AFFECT
KWMC/KEKO AND WILL ONLY INCLUDE CB MENTION IN 12Z TAFS. AFTER 18Z
TODAY...SOUTH WINDS STRONG AT KTPH AND KELY AGAIN WITH GUSTS NEAR
30 KTS EXPECTED. BT

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DRY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT
FROM ELKO COUNTY INTO HUMBOLDT COUNTY TODAY...AS THE NEXT PACIFIC
SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES INTO NORTHERN CALI. AREAL COVERAGE OF DRY
LIGHTNING IS NOT EXPECTED TO INCREASE ABOVE 10% WITH THE HIGHEST
STRIKE COUNT ANTICIPATED ACROSS FWZ 467. IN ADDITION TO THE DRY
LIGHTNING...A RED FLAG WARNING FOR LOW RH/WINDS IS IN EFFECT THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS CENTRAL NV. LOOKS TO BE LOW END EVENT
ON THE WIND SIDE OF THINGS WITH MAX GUSTS NO GREATER THEN 35MPH.
WINDS SHOULD INCREASE ANOTHER 5 MPH ON SATURDAY AND ESPECIALLY
SUNDAY WITH MAX GUSTS REACHING THE 40/45 MPH RANGE. A WATCH HAS
BEEN ISSUED FOR BOTH AFTERNOONS THIS WEEKEND TO HIGHLIGHT THIS
THREAT. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD DECREASE THIS WEEKEND WITH A
FEW STORMS EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHERN 467 ON SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...AND DRY CONDITIONS FOR SUNDAY.
