WARM AND DRY WEATHER WILL RETURN ON TUESDAY AS A RIDGE MOVES BACK INTO THE REGION. && .SHORT TERM...MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN BRINGING A DEEP UPPER LEVEL LOW INTO THE SILVER STATE...HOWEVER...THE LOCATION AND THE TIMING OF THE PRECIPITATION BANDS AND THE TRACK OF THE UPPER LOW HAS NOT BEEN IN SYNC AMONGST THE GFS...NAM AND ECMWF. VERY CONFIDENT THAT THERE WILL BE BOTH SNOW AND RAIN...AND SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE OVER 6500 FEET. GIVEN THE TIME OF THE YEAR...STRONG CAA WILL ACCOMPANY THIS SYSTEM...WITH TEMPERATURES AT 700MB PLUMMETING TO -6 TO -9C BY 12Z SUNDAY MORNING. NCEP MODELS HINT AT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...SATURDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...BUT NOTHING OVERTLY ORGANIZED.AT 12Z SUNDAY...THE GFS DEPICTS THE H5 LOW OF 544 DAM DIRECTLY OVER CARLIN AND ELKO...WHILE THE ECMWF PROJECTS THE H5 LOW DIRECTLY BETWEEN SACRAMENTO AND LAKE TAHOE. FAST FORWARD...JUST 12 HRS LATER AT 00Z MONDAY...THE ECMWF HAS THE H5 LOW OVER THE JARBIDGE WILDERNESS AREA...WHILE THE NAM AND GFS HAVE THE H5 LOW OVER WENDOVER. THE PLACEMENT OF THAT LOW WILL DRIVE WHERE AND WHEN THE BEST DYNAMICS/PRECIPITATION WILL BE. ADDITIONALLY...A STRONG GRADIENT WILL SET UP ON THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT OF THE UPPER LOW...BRINGING STRONG WINDS INTO CENTRAL NEVADA. .LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY. THE UPPER TROUGH RESPONSIBLE FOR AN UNSEASONABLY COOL AND SHOWERY WEEKEND WILL BE LIFTING INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES DURING MEMORIAL DAY. AS THIS OCCURS...ANOTHER POTENT TROUGH WILL DIG SOUTH FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA TO OFF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST. IN BETWEEN THESE TWO SYSTEMS...A WEAK SHORT WAVE RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE GREAT BASIN WILL DRIER AIR OVERSPREADING THE REGION AND DECREASING THE PRECIPITATION CHANCES FROM WEST TO EAST DURING MONDAY. H7 TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO RANGE FROM ZERO TO PLUS THREE RESULTING IN MAX TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 50S TO MID 60S MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE LATEST OPERATIONAL GFS/ECMWF IS SUPPORTED BY THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN GUIDANCE THIS FORECAST CYCLE IN KEEPING THE STRONG UPPER TROUGH OFF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST THROUGH THE WEEK. AT THE SAME TIME...EACH OPERATIONAL MODEL SUGGESTS THE STRONG RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS RETROGRADES TO A POSITION NEAR THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES. THIS WILL INCREASE THE H5 HEIGHTS ALONG WITH TIGHTENING MID LEVEL GRADIENT OVER THE GREAT BASIN DURING THE WEEK. A PRONOUNCED MID LEVEL JET / 110+ KTS/ WITHIN THE GRADIENT WILL AFFECT THE GREAT BASIN WITH SEVERAL WINDY DAYS FROM MID WEEK ON. WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA MAY BE MET ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN AND CENTRAL ZONES WHILE MORE CLOUDS WILL INHIBIT DEEP MIXING OVER THE WESTERN ZONES LATE IN THE WEEK. ALL IN ALL...WINDY AND WARMER CONDITIONS WITH SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. && .AVIATION...A COLD UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE APPROACH THE GREAT BASIN TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL SPREAD FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEVADA TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. VFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY...HOWEVER CIGS MAY LOWER TO MVFR CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY HEAVIER SHOWER ACTIVITY. ANY GUSTY WINDS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING...THEN INCREASE AGAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON. && .FIRE WEATHER...SOMEWHAT CHALLENGING TO VISUALIZE A FIRE WEATHER SCENARIO THAT WOULD BE CONDUCIVE TO FIRE STARTS WHEN MUCH OF THE LOCAL AREA LOOKS LIKE THE EMERALD CITY...AND ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW IS EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND. ENHANCED PRESSURE GRADIENT FORCES ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPCOMING STORM WILL RESULT IN GUSTY WINDS...AT THIS TIME HAVE HELD OFF ON ISSUING HEADLINE PRODUCTS FOR WINDS...BUT THAT WILL BE RE-EVALUATED AS THE STORM UNFOLDS AND THE GUIDANCE COMES INTO BETTER AGREEMENT. WARMER AND DRIER CONDITIONS WILL TEMPORALLY RETURN TO THE REGION MIDWEEK AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE EASTERN GREAT BASIN/FOUR CORNERS REGION. HOWEVER...ALL THE WHILE...A SECOND COLD PACIFIC SYSTEM WILL BE CHURNING AWAY. THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER OF NCEP CONTINUES TO PROJECT BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE LKN CWA DAYS 6 TO 10. && .LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 97/89/89/97
