Area forecast discussion, Apr 24, 12:21 PM PDT, 2 hours 10 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV 1221 PM PDT SUN APR 24 2011 .SYNOPSIS...STRONG PACIFIC SYSTEM SWEEPING ACROSS THE SILVER STATE...EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TODAY ACROSS HUMBOLDT... LANDER...EUREKA...ELKO AND WHITE PINE COUNTIES. && .UPDATE...THE UPDATE IS FOR THE GROWING THREAT OF ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. A VERY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT IS IN PLACE...WITH THE KWMC SOUNDING SHOWING A LIFTED INDEX OF -3 AND NAM12 DEPICTED SURFACE COMPUTED CAPES FROM 200 TO 300 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON. RADAR DATA INDICATE MULTIPLE PULSE TYPE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE LKN CWA. HAVE ISSUED A SUITE OF SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED AT 330 AM / SYNOPSIS...A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BRING SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND THE CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM TODAY. A VIGOROUS JET STREAM WILL BRING STRONG WINDS TO THE GREAT BASIN ON MONDAY. IN ADDITION TO THE WINDY CONDITIONS...A COLD FRONT WILL BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS AND MOUNTAIN SNOW TO NORTHERN NEVADA. COOLER WEATHER AND PARTIAL CLEARING IS EXPECTED BY TUESDAY...WITH A WARMING TREND EXPECTED BY MIDWEEK. SHORT TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. CURRENTLY SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ARE MOVING THROUGH THE CWA AS MOIST PACIFIC ONSHORE FLOW CONTINUES TO ADVECT INTO THE GREAT BASIN. BY THIS AFTERNOON SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AND INCREASE IN INTENSITY AS INSTABILITY INCREASES DUE TO A 500MB SHORTWAVE TRACKING ACROSS THE AREA DURING MAX HEATING. NAM12/GFS ARE INDICATING -1 LI VALUES AND UPPER LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE PROGGED TO STEEPEN...SO KEPT THE ISOLATED CHANCE OF THUNDER GOING IN THE CURRENT FORECAST. QPF AMOUNTS WILL MOSTLY STAY BELOW .10"...BUT LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS COULD BE POSSIBLE. BRIEF BREAK IN THE ACTION TONIGHT BEFORE AN ANOMALOUS 150KT JET STREAK MOVES OVER CENTRAL NV MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. 700MB WINDS WILL REACH 40-45KTS...ALONG WITH A TIGHTENING SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT ON MONDAY SHOULD SUPPORT WIDESPREAD ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS. WINDS BECOME NORTHWEST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...AS STRONG CAA WORKS INTO NORTHERN NV. SREF 850MB ANOMALIES REACH 3-4 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ACROSS ELKO COUNTY ON MONDAY NIGHT...IN ADDITION 6HR MSLP PRESSURE CHANGE OF 8MB COULD CAUSE LEE-SIDE WINDS ACROSS ELKO COUNTY TO REACH HIGH WIND CRITERIA WITH LOCALIZED GUSTS TO 60MPH POSSIBLE IN RUBY VALLEY AND WEST WENDOVER. HAVE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH TO HIGHLIGHT THIS THREAT. IN ADDITION TO THE WINDS LOCALIZED HEAVY UPSLOPE MOUNTAIN SNOW COULD BE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY AND THE RUBY MOUNTAINS. PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO START AS RAIN...WITH A FEW ISOLATED TSTMS POSSIBLE MONDAY AFTERNOON...BEFORE CHANGING OVER TO SNOW MONDAY NIGHT. SOME MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS COULD BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE VALLEYS OF ELKO COUNTY...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE NW SLOPES OF THE RUBY MOUNTAINS (LAMOILLE/SPRING CREEK). ONLY MINOR MOUNTAIN ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA. SNOW SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF ALONG WITH THE STRONG DOWNSLOPE WINDS TUESDAY MORNING...PARTIAL CLEARING AND COOL TEMPS EXPECTED TUESDAY AFTERNOON. LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY. THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE UNDER A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT TUESDAY NIGHT. STRONG SURFACE WINDS WILL EVENTUALLY DIMINISH IN THE MORE WIND PRONE AREAS LIKE KTPH...WEST WENDOVER...AND THE LEE-SIDE OF THE RUBIES. COLD AIR...CONTINUING TO FILTER IN FROM THE NORTHWEST DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...MAY MODERATE SOME DURING THE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON PERIOD AS MODELS INDICATE WARMING 700 MB TEMPERATURES OF +4C IN THE SOUTH TO -4C IN THE NORTH. HAVE KEPT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON HIGHS SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER AND BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...MAINLY NORTH OF US50...WITH NEAR OR JUST ABOVE FOR PORTIONS SOUTH OF THIS LINE. 300K ISENTROPIC ANALYSIS DOES SHOW SOME WEAK LIFT IN THE NORTH FOR THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY SO WILL CONTINUE WITH ISOLATED SHOWER ACTIVITY FOR THIS TIME FRAME...MAINLY NORTH OF I-80. THIS SHOULD NOT BRING MUCH IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATION. DURING THE NIGHT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...SHORTWAVE RIDGING TRANSITIONS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA QUICKLY WITH THE NEXT TROUGH DROPPING SOUTHEASTWARD FOR THURSDAY. HAVE KEPT ISOLATED POPS IN FOR THE NORTH DURING THIS TIME AS WELL AS THERE ARE SOME TIMING AND STRENGTH DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PROGS. COULD SEE BREEZY CONDITIONS THURSDAY AND WILL WATCH HOW THIS EVENT UNFOLDS. THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MAIN ENERGY WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE UNITED STATES WITH NORTHERN NEVADA RECEIVING THE SOUTHERN END OF THIS SYSTEM. POSSIBLE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE FRIDAY SO ONCE AGAIN...AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES DROP TO BELOW NORMAL LEVELS. MODELS SOLUTIONS ARE VERY INCONSISTENT FOR THE NEXT WEEKEND PERIOD SO WENT WITH CLIMO POPS AS A RESULT. AVIATION...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT KTPH TODAY WITH WDLY SCT MVFR/ISOLD IFR CIGS/VSBY OVER NORTHERN NV THIS AFTERNOON WITH SYSTEM ENCROACHING UPON FORECAST AREA. WINDS GENERALLY SW-W10-20G30KT OVER THE REGION AFTER 18Z TODAY. ISOLD TS POSSIBLE KEKO AND KELY SITES...BUT CONFIDENCE IS AROUND 10 PERCENT AT KEKO AND 20 PERCENT AT KELY. HAVE PLACED CB CLOUD GROUP IN BOTH FORECASTS. && .LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... HIGH WIND WATCH FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING FOR EXTREME EASTERN ELKO COUNTY.
