AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
342 AM PDT SAT MAR 19 2011

.SYNOPSIS...A POTENT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BRING A PLETHORA OF
WEATHER...INCLUDING STRONG WINDS...SNOW AND RAIN...AND COOLER THAN
NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR REST OF THE WEEKEND. PERIODS OF ACTIVE
WEATHER WILL CONTINUE OVER THE COURSE OF NEXT WEEK ACROSS NORTHERN
NEVADA.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY. VERY ACTIVE PATTERN EXPECTED
FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY FROM THIS MORNING
SHOWS A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW CLEARLY SPINNING WELL OFF THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST. TO THE SOUTH AND WEST OF THIS LOW IS A LARGE
AREA OF MOISTURE IN THE PACIFIC THAT WILL BE MOVING EAST OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE DAYS AND IS PROGGED TO BE PICKED UP BY THIS UPPER
LOW...WHICH WILL HAVE IMPLICATIONS DURING THIS FORECAST PERIOD.

FIRST...WINDS HAVE BEEN GUSTING ALL NIGHT IN ELY AND
TONOPAH...WITH HIGHEST GUSTS OF AROUND 40 MPH IN ELY. HAVE WENT
AHEAD AND ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR NORTHERN NYE AND WHITE PINE
COUNTIES BEGINNING LATER THIS MORNING AS WINDS ARE PROGGED TO PEAK
TO JUST ABOVE ADVISORY THRESHOLDS DURING THE MORNING INTO THE
AFTERNOON FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS.

ENERGY FROM THE MAIN TROUGH WILL COME ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
TODAY ALONG WITH A COLD FRONT. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL OUT
OVER THE EAST-CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA LATER TODAY.
THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT FEATURE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MODEL
RUNS BUT MODEL QPF HAS BACKED OFF SOME. STILL COULD EXPECT A QUICK
INCH OR TWO DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS OVER PORTIONS
OF WHITE PINE...EAST NORTHERN NYE...AND SOUTHERN ELKO COUNTIES.
ALSO OF NOTE...LIFTED INDICES ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF NEVADA
CONTINUE TO REMAIN NEGATIVE DURING THE AFTERNOON TODAY. LAPSE
RATES OF 7.5 TO 8.5C/KM ARE DEPICTED IN THE 850-500MB LAYER...SO
WILL CONTINUE THE IDEA OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY NORTH OF
THE US HIGHWAY 50 CORRIDOR.

BY TONIGHT THE UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE ITS MOVEMENT TO THE SOUTH
AND BY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING WILL BE STATIONED OFF THE WEST COAST
OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. A VERY TIGHT MSLP GRADIENT OF 12MB IS
FORECAST TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE CWA SUNDAY AFTERNOON. GFS 700 MB
WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE IN TH 40-55 KNOT RANGE
SUNDAY...INCREASING TO AS HIGH AS 65 KNOTS BY 21/06Z. SREF
GUIDANCE IS SHOWING ANOMALOUSLY STRONG 850 MB WINDS IN THE 4-5 SD
RANGE...AND GEFS IS ALSO DEPICTING ANOMALOUSLY STRONG WINDS. HAVE
ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOR NORTHERN
NYE...WHITE PINE...AND SOUTHERN LANDER/EUREKA COUNTIES. SOUTH TO
SOUTHEAST WINDS ARE ANTICIPATED TO REACH 30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS
TO 60 MPH DURING THIS TIME...WITH ELKO AND HUMBOLDT COUNTIES
SEEING AT LEAST WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THIS WIND EVENT AS VERY STRONG WINDS ARE POSSIBLE.

A WINTER STORM WATCH HAS ALSO BEEN ISSUED FOR NORTHERN
NYE...WHITE PINE...AND SOUTHERN LANDER/EUREKA COUNTIES FOR
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 6000 FEET SUNDAY EVENING INTO MONDAY EVENING. 250
MB JET ENERGY WILL ROUND THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH AND WILL
PUSH INTO SOUTHERN NEVADA SUNDAY EVENING. THE AFOREMENTIONED SWATH
OF MOISTURE ACROSS THE PACIFIC IS PROGGED TO ALSO SWING INTO
SOUTHERN NEVADA AS WELL FOR THE NIGHT ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY. UPPER
LEVEL DIV-Q FORCING REMAINS DECENT FOR THIS PERIOD...WITH LOW
LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF AROUND 6 C/KM. THE COMBINATION OF THESE
ELEMENTS...WITH THE STRONG WINDS...COULD END UP MAKING TRAVEL
EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IN THE WATCH AREA WITH MUCH BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW. WILL ALSO NEED TO KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE ON THIS EVENT
AS IT DRAWS NEAR.

ON MONDAY THE 500 MB TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO SLOWLY ADVANCE
EASTWARD...RESULTING IN A CONTINUATION OF UNSETTLED WEATHER WITH
SHOWER ACTIVITY AND COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY. QUASI-STATIONARY
500MB MEAN TROUGH OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST WILL KEEP THE
WEATHER COOL AND UNSETTLED OVER THE GREAT BASIN THROUGH THIS PERIOD.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS AVERAGE...WITH DISCREPANCIES IN TRACK OF
MULTIPLE SHORTWAVE TROUGHS NEXT WEEK. PRECIP WILL BE ABOVE
AVG...WITH TEMPS NEAR AVG FOR THIS PERIOD.

MONDAY NIGHT STRONG 500MB TROUGH AXIS WILL SWING THROUGH THE GREAT
BASIN ENDING THE WIDESPREAD SNOW...WITH CONVECTIVE SNOW SHOWERS
CONTINUING THROUGH THE NIGHT AND INTO TUESDAY. QPF AMOUNTS WILL BE
LIGHT WITH LOCALIZED SNOW ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS.
SMALL BREAK IN THE ACTION ON TUESDAY NIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
BUILDS IN...BEFORE THE NEXT PACIFIC SHORTWAVE IMPACTS THE AREA
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE NIGHT. GFS/ECMWF COME INTO A LITTLE
BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THIS FEATURE OVER THE LAST 24HRS...BUT THE EC
TRACK IS FURTHER SOUTH THE GFS. HAVE INCREASED POPS TO CHANCE...BUT
THIS FEATURE IS A PROGRESSIVE MINOR SHORTWAVE...SO QPF AMOUNTS
SHOULD BE LIGHT.

ON THURSDAY ANOTHER SHORTWAVE RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE
REGION...AHEAD OF ANOTHER STRONG CLOSED 500MB LOW DIGGING OFF THE
CALI COAST.  GFS CURRENTLY HAS A 525DAM OFF THE NORTHERN CALI COAST
THURSDAY NIGHT. ON FRIDAY THIS STRONG FEATURE IS PROGGED TO IMPACT
THE GREAT BASIN...FIRST WITH STRONG WINDS...THEN RAIN QUICKLY
CHANGING OVER TO SNOW. THIS COULD BE HEADLINE SYSTEM...BUT STILL
VERY FAR OUT IN TIME.  POSSIBLE LINGERING SHOWERS ON SATURDAY...HAVE
KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GOING.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY...WITH SOME TEMPO MVFR
CIGS POSSIBLE IN CONVECTIVE RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS
WILL ALSO BE STRONG AGAIN TODAY...ESPECIALLY AT KTPH/KELY WERE MAX
GUSTS HAVE A HIGH PROBABILITY TO REACH 30KTS. WINDS AND SHOWERS WILL
DIE DOWN AFTER SUNSET TONIGHT.

&&

.LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WIND ADVISORY FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 7 PM PDT THIS EVENING
FOR NORTHERN NYE COUNTY...WHITE PINE COUNTY.
