AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
300 PM PST FRI FEB 18 2011

.SYNOPSIS...A LARGE WINTER STORM WILL PRODUCE WIDESPREAD SNOW
ACROSS NEVADA TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. SCATTERED SNOW
SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE SUNDAY...WITH DRY WEATHER EXPECTED TO RETURN
ON MONDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM
WILL AFFECT THE GREAT BASIN TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING.
HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IN THE VARIOUS DETAILS IS MUCH LESS THAN ONE
WOULD PREFER ONE DAY BEFORE A WINTER WEATHER EVENT. THAT BEING
SAID...WIDESPREAD SNOW WILL OCCUR ACROSS ALL OF NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL NEVADA TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT WITH AT LEAST SOME
IMPACT EXPECTED.

INFRARED SATELLITE THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS A VERY COMPLEX SCENARIO ON
THE WEST COAST...ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS THAT MODELS ARE GIVING
VARIOUS SOLUTIONS AND CONFIDENCE IS LESS THAN OPTIMAL. FIRST
SHORTWAVE COMING ONSHORE IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA THIS AFTERNOON WILL
BEGIN IMPACTING NEVADA WEATHER TONIGHT...WITH SNOW EXPANDING QUICKLY
INTO THE WESTERN/SOUTHERN ZONES BY 10 PM. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL EJECT
INTO NEVADA AS IT IS KICKED ALONG/ABSORBED BY A MUCH LARGER/STRONGER
UPPER LOW SEEN CLEARLY OFF THE PAC NW COAST. THIS IS WHERE
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE DECREASES...AS INFRAFED SATELLITE INDICATES
THIS IS A VERY INTENSE SYSTEM WITH COLD AIR CUMULUS AND RECENT
LIGHTNING STRIKES WEST OF SEATTLE. UNCERTAIN HOW WELL THIS HAS BEEN
SAMPLED BY THE RAOB NETWORK...AND ALSO WEARY OF THE MODELED DETAILS
OF HOW THIS LOW INTERACTS WITH THE SHORTWAVE ENTERING NV TONIGHT. AT
ANY RATE...LIFT WILL INCREASE QUICKLY OVERNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH
SATURDAY AS STRONG UPPER LOW DIVES SOUTH OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST.
DIVERGENCE ALOFT WITH STRONG Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE...COUPLED WITH
PLENTIFUL MOISTURE...WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD SNOW ACROSS NORTHERN
AND CENTRAL NEVADA. FOR TONIGHT...EXPECT SNOW TO BEGIN INCREASING
AROUND 10 PM NEAR TONOPAH/NYE COUNTY...AS WELL AS HUMBOLDT COUNTY.
OPTED TO UPGRADE INHERITED WINTER STORM WATCH TO A WINTER STORM
WARNING FOR NYE COUNTY BEGINNING AT 10 PM...AS EXPECT ACCUMULATING
SNOW TO BEGIN THERE IN EARNEST BY 10 PM - MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. AT LEAST
PERIODS OF SNOW...HEAVY AT TIMES...WILL CONTINUE ACROSS NYE COUNTY
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...SO CONTINUED THE WARNING THROUGH 10 PM
SATURDAY. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS GREATER OF 6-8 INCHES LIKELY IN NYE
COUNTY..HIGHER ABOVE 6000 FEET.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF NORTHERN/CENTRAL NEVADA...HAVE ELECTED TO ISSUE
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW FOR MOST LOCATIONS...WHICH RUNS
FROM 4 AM SATURDAY THROUGH 4 AM SUNDAY. THE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS
INCLUDE HUMBOLDT COUNTY...IN WHICH THEIR ADVISORY BEGINS AT 10 PM
TONIGHT...AND AN UPGRADE TO A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR ZONE 034/THE
RUBY MOUNTAINS. IN GENERAL...CONFIDENCE IS VERY HIGH ON WIDESPREAD
SNOWFALL OCCURRING AREAWIDE SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. TO THAT
END...INCREASED POPS TO NEAR 100% AREAWIDE. THE UNCERTAINTY LIES IN
WHO WILL ACHIEVE WARNING CRITERIA VERSUS ADVISORY...AGAIN IT APPEARS
THE MODELS ARE STUGGLING WITH WAVE INTERACTION SO DETAILS ARE FUZZY
WITH REGARD TO QPF PLACEMENT EVEN THIS LATE IN THE GAME.
STILL...PRECIP PRODUCTION IS EXPECTED TO BE WIDESPREAD AND ALL
LOCATIONS IN THE CWA ARE FORECASTED TO RECEIVE MEASURABLE SNOW. A
BROAD ACCUMULATION OF 3-5 INCHES APPEARS LIKELY IN THE ADVISORY
AREA. ABOVE 6000 FEET...AMOUNTS WILL INCREASE WITH 8-12+ INCHES IN
THE RUBIES...THEREFORE THE WARNING. MORE UNCERTAINTY TO CONSIDER FOR
TOMORROW...SNOW WILL BE RATHER WET AND TEMPERATURES WILL NOT BE THAT
COLD...HOLDING LIKELY NEAR FREEZING/LOWER 30S. THEREFORE IT IS
LIKELY THAT MANY ROADWAYS WILL SIMPLY REMAIN WET MINIMIZING IMPACT.
ON THE OTHER HAND...NAM/GFS AGREE THAT SOME INSTABILITY WILL BE
PRESENT ESPECIALLY AHEAD OF THE SURFACE LOW...PROGGED TO GO FROM
NEAR AUSTIN TO WESTERN ELKO COUNTY BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
SO...CONVECTION MAY LOCALLY ENHANCE SNOWFALL RATES AND OVERCOME
WARM/WET ROADWAYS AT TIMES. GIVEN ALL OF THE VARIABLES AND
CONSIDERATIONS...FELT AN ADVISORY WAS BEST FOR MOST OF THE
AREA...BUT LOCAL LOW END WARNING AMOUNTS ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE.

CHOSE TO CONTINUE WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY...AS SNOW SHOWERS WILL PERSIST WITH COLDER WEST WINDS.
SATURDAY NIGHT...THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL HAVE ENDED...BUT WITH THE
SUN DOWN AND COLDER AIR...SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE MORE EFFICIENTLY.
SEVERAL MORE INCHES WILL ACCUMULATE SATURDAY NIGHT...PARTICULARLY
ON WESTWARD FACING SLOPES. INCLUDED SCATTERED CONVECTIVE SNOW
SHOWERS SUNDAY ALONG WITH COLDER MAX TEMPS...WITH CLEARING
EXPECTED BY SUNDAY NIGHT. BT

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY. THE BEGINNING OF
THE WEEK WILL START OFF RATHER BENIGN...BUT THE WEEK WILL LIKELY END
WITH COLDER TEMPERATURES AND A CHANCE OF SNOW. WEAK UPPER RIDGING ON
MONDAY WILL GIVE WAY TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WHILE AN UPPER LOW DIVES
SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND JUST OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST.
THE MODELS TEND TO DIVERGE AFTER THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK. THE
ECMWF HAS A COLD UPPER TROUGH DIGGING SOUTH INTO THE GREAT
BASIN ON WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...THE GFS HAS THE TROUGH CLOSING OFF AS
AN UPPER LOW AND MOVING INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ON THURSDAY. HAVE
LEANED TOWARD THE SLOWER AND WETTER GFS SOLUTION FOR NOW. EITHER
WAY...THE COLD AIR IS COMING. WHETHER IT IS A DAY EARLIER OR
NOT...AND WHETHER THERE IS A LOT OF SNOW WITH IT IS THE QUESTION.

&&

.AVIATION...SNOW WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE TAF SITES TONIGHT AND THE
CERTAINTY IS RATHER HIGH REGARDING THE LIKELIHOOD AND THE ONSET OF
SNOW. HOWEVER...THE DURATION MAY BE A LITTLE TRICKY. MOST OF THE
SITES SHOULD SEE THE SNOW TAPER OFF AFTER 00Z...BUT MODELS ARE
HINTING AT A BAND OF SNOW THAT MAY AFFECT KEKO AND KELY OVERNIGHT
SATURDAY NIGHT. IT WILL BE QUITE LIKELY TO SEE A SHORT TIME OF CIGS
BELOW 1000 FT AND VIS BELOW 3/4 MI WITH THIS SYSTEM.
