&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED AT 238 AM /

SYNOPSIS...TODAY AND WEDNESDAY WILL BE WINDY. NEXT LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL PUSH ACROSS INTO THE REGION LATER TODAY AND WEDNESDAY
PRODUCING...STRONG WINDS...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF NEVADA. IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT...CHILLY MORNING
TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...BUT OTHERWISE MILD WEATHER ON TAP
UNTIL SUNDAY WHEN THE MONSOON WILL CRANK INTO GEAR.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. A DEEP PACIFIC
LOW WILL CARVE ITS WAY ACROSS THE LKN CWA THIS FORECAST PERIOD.
AMONGST THE MAJOR MODELS...IMMACULATE CONSENSUS WITH REGARD TO A
SIGNIFICANT WIND EVENT FOR LATER TODAY AND AGAIN FOR EASTERN
ELKO...WHITE PINE...AND EASTERN NORTHERN NYE ON WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. IMPRESSIVE V-COMPONENT OR MERIDIONAL ANOMALIES...2 TO 3
STANDARD DEVIATIONS AT 700 MB. MOREOVER...MIXING TO 500 MB IS
POSSIBLE FOR LATER TODAY...WHERE THE SKEW-T DATA SHOWS 50 KNOTS AT
MULTIPLE SAMPLING SITES. WEDNESDAY...THE STRONG WINDS WILL BE
CONFINED TO THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA...COINCIDENT WITH THE
SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...AND AFTER THE FRONT CLEARS THE
REGION...WINDS SLACKEN IMMEDIATELY. HEADLINES FOR THIS WIND EVENT
HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR TODAY AND ADDITIONAL HEADLINES FOR WIND WILL
BE REQUIRED FOR WEDNESDAY...HELD OFF ON WEDNESDAY TO EXAMINE NEXT
RUNS OF MODELS.

THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING MOISTURE...INSTABILITY AND
LIFT TO THE REGION...ESSENTIALLY THE INGREDIENTS FOR CONVECTION.
NAM 12 DEPICTS A BROAD SWATH OF ENHANCED SURFACE COMPUTED CAPE
FROM LANDER AND HUMBOLDT TO NORTHEAST ELKO THIS EVENING...SPIKING
AS HIGH AS 400 J/KG...WHICH IS MAY BE A TAD HIGH AND A BY PRODUCT
OF CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK...BUT THE AREAL COVERAGE OF THESE
CAPES...LOOKS SOUND. THE ROBUST CAPES ARE ALSO CO-LOCATED WITH
NEGATIVE LIFTED INDICES...NEEDLESS TO SAY...EXPECTING
THUNDERSTORMS LATER TODAY BUT KEPT THEM ISOLATED. WEDNESDAY...THE NAM12
PROJECTS WIDESPREAD NEGATIVE LIS AND 200 TO 400 J/KG OF CAPE.
EXPECTING THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY. AS THE FORECAST PERIOD
UNFOLDS...MORE MOISTURE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION...FROM 12Z
WEDNESDAY TO 12Z THURSDAY...PORTIONS OF NORTHERN NEVADA CAN EXPECT
20 INCH OF QPF.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY. WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY THE MAIN HIGHLIGHT WILL BE THE UNSEASONABLY VIGOROUS
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR MAKING ITS WAY EAST AND OUT
OF NEVADA. COULD SEE SOME LINGERING LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY IN THE
EAST...AND HAVE MADE SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TO THE POP GRID BUT NOT ALL
THAT MUCH. WINDS SHOULD BE ON THE DECREASE DURING THE EVENING AND
NIGHT...WITH PERHAPS A FEW LINGERING GUSTS IN THE WEST WENDOVER
AREA. AS MENTIONED EARLIER BY PREVIOUS SHIFT...POST FRONTAL AIRMASS
MAY BRING ENOUGH COLDER AIR INTO REGION THAT CERTAIN OPEN AREAS SUCH
AS CLOVER VALLEY SOUTH OF WELLS...ETC...MAY HAVE LIGHT ENOUGH
WINDS...FEW ENOUGH CLOUDS...AND DRY ENOUGH AIR TO RADIATE BETWEEN 5
AND 10 DEGREES COLDER THAN SURROUNDING AREAS FOR THE THURSDAY
MORNING TIME FRAME. THERE COULD ALSO BE ANOTHER COLD MORNING ON TAP
FOR FRIDAY AS WELL...AND HAVE ACTUALLY MADE THAT ONE TO THREE
DEGREES COOLER THAN THURSDAY IN THE MIN TEMP GRID. MIGHT ACTUALLY
SEE MINIMUM TEMPS IN THE 30S DURING THESE TWO MORNINGS. WILL NOT
CALL FOR ACTUAL FREEZING TEMPS IN  LATE JUNE...BUT TENDER PLANTS OR
NEWLY SPRUNG UP ONES MIGHT NEED TO BE CARED FOR. ALSO YOUNG ANIMALS
MIGHT BE SUBJECT TO THE COLDER TEMPS. THIS IS STILL SEVERAL DAYS OUT
AND IT DOES BEAR SOME MONITORING.

FOR THE THURSDAY TIME FRAME...LOOK FOR HIGHS AT OR JUST BELOW NORMAL
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. SKIES SHOULD BE SUNNY THOUGH FOR MUCH OF THE
AREA. NORTHERN NEVADA WILL REMAIN UNDER A MAINLY WEST TO EAST FLOW
DURING THIS TIME. FLOW WILL GRADUALLY TURN WEST AND SOUTHWEST DURING
FRIDAY AS HEIGHTS RISE SLIGHTLY AND 700 MB TEMPERATURES INCREASE 1
TO 4 DEGREES C. MODELS CONTINUE TO TRY BUILDING THE UPPER RIDGE WEST
WITH A CENTER OF CIRCULATION POSSIBLY SETTING UP OVER ARIZONA AND
UTAH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. HEIGHTS AND UPPER LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE TO RISE...AS WILL SURFACE TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
COULD SEE ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON BUT
THIS WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE LOCATION OF THE LOW-MID LEVEL
FLOW AND HOW MUCH MOISTURE GETS DRAWN UP INTO IT. AS OF THIS TIME
THE EUROPEAN KEEPS IT OVER THE LAS VEGAS AREA...WITH THE GFS STAYING
PUT ON THE ARIZONA SOLUTION.

AVIATION...AN UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE CLOSER TO THE
CALIFORNIA COAST TODAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN A MUCH TIGHTER PRESSURE
GRADIENT AT THE SURFACE...RESULTING IN INCREASING WIND SPEEDS ACROSS
ALL SITES DURING THE MID TO LATE MORNING HOURS. THESE WINDS WILL
WILL HAVE GUSTY WINDS AND THESE WILL STRENGTHEN DURING THE DAY.
COULD SEE SOME BLOWING DUST ACROSS KWMC...KTPH...AND KEKO LATER THIS
AFTERNOON DUE TO THE STRONG WINDS...WITH VSBYS AND CIGS DECREASING
TO MVFR.

FIRE WEATHER...A STRONG FRONT CONTINUES TO BARREL ITS WAY TOWARDS
THE GREAT BASIN. THIS AFTERNOON EXPECTING STRONG WINDS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT AND DRY THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN ZONES. BOTH TODAY AND
WEDNESDAY WILL BE WINDY. TUESDAY THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL
MATERIALIZE OVER NORTHERN NYE...WHITE PINE COUNTY...LANDER AND
EUREKA COUNTIES BETWEEN I80 AND HIGHWAY 50. HAVE ISSUED A RED FLAG
WARNING FOR THIS AFTERNOON FOR GUSTY WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITY FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 454...455 AND 457. HAVE ALSO
ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR MUCH OF THE SAME AREAS...BUT ADDING THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF ELKO COUNTY. FOR WEDNESDAY...THE RHS WILL BE
MARGINAL FOR RED FLAG CRITERIA...BUT CLEARLY THE WIND WILL
MATERIALIZE OVER THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE LKN CWA. HAVE HELD OFF
ON ISSUING HEADLINES FOR WINDS ON WEDNESDAY UNTIL WE CAN SEE THE
NEXT RUNS OF THE MODELS TO BEST DETERMINE THE AREAL COVERAGE FOR
THE WIND EVENT. AT THIS TIME...EXPECTING ENHANCED WINDS OVER
455...EASTERN PORTION OF 457 AND 470. AS MANY CUSTOMERS ALREADY
KNOW...THE FIRES ZONES DON'T MATCH UP WITH PUBLIC ZONES...SO
DIFFERENT OPTIONS ARE BEING WEIGHED ON HOW BEST TO HANDLE THE WIND
EVENT FOR WEDNESDAY. CONVECTION WILL ENTER THE WESTERN ZONES BY
18Z TODAY...BUT THIS WILL BE HIGH BASED AND VERY LITTLE QPF WILL
MAKE IT TO THE GROUND THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. HOWEVER...AS THE
ATMOSPHERE BECOMES MORE SATURATED...LESS VIRGA AND DRY TS...AND
MORE WETTING RAINS...THUS EXPECTING DRY THUNDERSTORMS TO
TRANSITION TO WET. PRECIPITATION ACTIVITY WILL LINGER INTO
THURSDAY.

HYDROLOGY...LAMOILLE CREEK IS STILL HOLDING STEADY AT MINOR FLOOD
STAGE LEVEL...WITH CONTINUING HIGH FLOWS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

FOR THE MARYS RIVER...ISSUING RIVER STATEMENTS AT THIS TIME BUT IT
IS NOT EXPECTED TO FLOOD. STILL...EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS AND RESIDENT
REPORTS INDICATE THAT DEETH HAS BEEN HIGHER THAN THE GAGE ACTUALLY
SHOWS. WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE OUT.

SOUTH FORK HUMBOLDT...WATER RELEASES FROM THE DAM APPEAR TO HAVE
DECREASED FROM MONDAY AND SO THE RIVER STAGE HEIGHT IS DOWN. THIS IS
MOST LIKELY DUE TO DRAMATICALLY REDUCED SNOW PACK.

ON THE HUMBOLDT MAIN STEM...STILL WATCHING AS A FLOOD WAVE MOVES DOWN
STREAM. FIRST ONE APPEARS NEAR DEETH WHERE LAMOILLE AND MARYS WILL
FEED IT AND THEN IT WILL MOVE SLOWLY TOWARD ELKO. SECOND IS THE ONE
BELOW SOUTH FORK AROUND CARLIN...AND WILL AFFECT PALISADE...BATTLE
MOUNTAIN...AND COMUS...AND EVENTUALLY WINNEMUCCA. THIS IS MORE LIKE
AN EASTERN UNITED STATES SLOW MOVING FLAT RIVER AND WILL BEAR
WATCHING FOR SEVERAL MORE DAYS.
