AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
330 AM PDT MON JUN 6 2011

.SHORT TERM...

UPPER LOW MOVING INLAND CONTINUES TO BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SNOW
THIS MORNING TO THE SIERRA AND THE HWY 395 CORRIDOR. WITH THE LOW
JUST A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH THAN PROJECTED...FOCUS FOR THE HEAVIEST
PRECIP HAS SHIFTED TO SIERRA LOCATIONS BETWEEN THE NRN TAHOE BASIN
AND PLUMAS/LASSEN COUNTY LINE...AND LOCATIONS ALONG HWY 395 FROM
RENO/CC TO DOYLE. AS OF 3 AM...AROUND AN INCH OF RAIN HAS FALLEN IN
THESE LOCATION SINCE LAST NIGHT. PRECIP HAS BEEN HEAVY ENOUGH FOR A
LONG ENOUGH DURATION OVER TRUCKEE/TAHOE AREA TO CAUSE THE LOWEST
COUPLE THOUSAND FEET TO BECOME ISOTHERMAL NEAR FREEZING...BRINGING
SNOW LEVELS LOCALLY DOWN TO LAKE LEVEL. WEB CAMS HAVE SHOWN A WET
SLUSHY ACCUMULATION ON THE NORTHWESTERN SHORES AND IN TRUCKEE...BUT
THIS SHOULD MELT RATHER QUICKLY AS PRECIP INTENSITY DECREASES AND
SNOW CHANGES BACK OVER TO RAIN...PERHAPS AS EARLY AS SUNRISE. UNTIL
THEN...TEMPORARY SLUSHY ACCUMULATIONS DURING PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOW
WILL CAUSE SLICK DRIVING CONDITIONS. AWAY FROM THE TAHOE BASIN WHERE
PRECIP IS NOT AS HEAVY...SNOW LEVELS ARE AROUND 7500 FT. DECIDED TO
DROP THE WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR MONO COUNTY AS RADAR AND SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS INDICATE VERY LITTLE PRECIP...AND SNOW HAS NOT BEEN AN
ISSUE ON HWY 395.

HEAVY RAINFALL HAS CAUSED MODERATE RISES ON SOME SMALL CREEKS AND
STREAMS AROUND THE TAHOE BASIN AND ON THE EAST OF THE CARSON RANGE.
LOWERING SNOW LEVELS SHOULD HELP MITIGATE SOME OF THE RUNOFF FROM
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS...HOWEVER CONTINUED STEADY PRECIP THIS MORNING
WITH EMBEDDED HEAVIER BURSTS OF RAIN COULD RESULT IN SOME ADDITIONAL
URBAN AND SMALL STREAM ISSUES. SEE THE HYDRO SECTION BELOW FOR MORE
DETAILS.

RAIN WILL TAPER TO SHOWERS LATER THIS MORNING AS THE LOW CONTINUES
TO LIFT NORTHEAST. HOWEVER...STEADY RAIN MAY LINGER A LITTLE LONGER
INTO THE MORNING FROM LAKE TAHOE TO PLUMAS/LASSEN COUNTY DUE TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A WRAP-AROUND BAND. CONTEMPLATED REMOVING MENTION OF
THUNDER FROM THE FORECAST FOR THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE BASIN AND RANGE
AS MODELS NOW KEEP ALL THE INSTABILITY TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE
AREA...BUT COULD NOT RULE IT OUT JUST YET. MOST OF THE PRECIP SHOULD
MOVE OUT OF THE REGION BY THIS EVENING.

UPSTREAM ENERGY BEHIND OUR EXITING LOW WILL RESULT IN A HANGBACK
TROUGH TUE. THIS WILL KEEP TEMPS ALOFT FAIRLY COOL...AND WITH A
LITTLE DAYTIME HEATING...RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING...MAINLY ALONG AND
SOUTH OF I-80. AREAS NEAR THE OREGON BORDER LOOK TO REMAIN DRY TUE
AFTERNOON. CANNOT RULE OUT CONVECTION WED AFTERNOON FOR THE SAME
GENERAL AREAS AS ANOTHER LOW DROPS INTO WA/OR...SO MAINTAINED SLIGHT
CHANCES IN THE FORECAST. SCV

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

NO CHANGE TO THE ONGOING FORECAST. MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT
WITH UPPER LOW PASSING NORTH OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND RIDGE
APPROACHING THE WEST COAST. THIS WILL HELP PRODUCE WARMER AND
DRIER CONDITIONS FOR LATE THIS WEEK. HIGHS IN THE WESTERN NEVADA
VALLEYS COULD REACH 80 BY FRIDAY AND LOWS TO MID 80S FOR THE
WEEKEND. IN THE SIERRA...HIGHS SHOULD CLIMB INTO THE LOW
70S...WHICH WILL INCREASE SNOW MELT RUNOFF FROM THE WELL ABOVE
AVERAGE SNOWPACK FOR JUNE WITH INCREASING RIVER AND STREAM FLOW.

MODELS TRY TO PUSH A TROUGH INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA LATE IN THE
WEEKEND...WHICH MAY PRODUCE A FEW SHOWERS AND GUSTY WINDS ALONG
THE SIERRA FRONT. BRONG

&&

.AVIATION...
AREA OF RAIN CONTINUES TO AFFECT WESTERN NEVADA AND THE SIERRA
THIS MORNING WITH MVFR CONDITIONS AT THE TERMINALS. CEILINGS MAY
DROP BRIEFLY TO IFR AT KTVL AND KTRK THIS MORNING DUE HEAVY
PRECIPITATION CREATING AN ISOTHERMAL LAYER AND LOWERING SNOW
LEVELS TO NEAR 6000 FEET. OTHERWISE...FREEZING LEVELS SHOULD
REMAIN ABOVE 7000 FEET THROUGH THIS MORNING. AREA OF RAIN WILL
DECREASE IN THE RENO-TAHOE AREA AFTER 18Z AS THE LOW MOVES
OVERHEAD AND A WEST FLOW INCREASES.

THE LOW PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST TONIGHT...BUT A SECOND SYSTEM WILL
DROP INTO THE AREA TUESDAY WITH ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE.  BRONG

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES ALONG HIGHWAY 395 FROM MONO
COUNTY NORTH INTO LASSEN COUNTY. AN EAST FLOW IS GENERATING AN
UPSLOPE ENHANCEMENT TO THE PRECIP ALONG THE CARSON RANGE SHOULD
SWITCH TO THE WEST AS THE MAIN LOW PASSES OVERHEAD. PRECIP TOTALS
SO FAR ARE RISING ABOVE 1.00 INCH...WITH SEVERAL RAPID RISES ON
CREEKS AND STREAMS IN THE TAHOE BASIN AND OUT OF THE CARSON RANGE
AND INTO CARSON CITY AND SOUTH RENO. MAIN CONCERN THIS MORNING
WILL BE PONDING OF ROADS IN URBAN AREAS...AND SMALL CREEKS THAT
MAY NEAR BANKFULL OR EVEN CAUSE SOME MINOR FLOODING.

LOWERING SNOW LEVELS THROUGH THIS MORNING WILL HELP LOWER THE
OVERALL FLOOD THREAT IN THE TAHOE BASIN....BUT CREEKS WILL
CONTINUE TO RUN HIGH IN THE RENO-CARSON CITY AREA.

MOST MAINSTEM RIVERS WELL BELOW LEVEL OF CONCERN FOR TONIGHT.
WEST WALKER RIVER WILL CONTINUE A STEADY RISE THE NEXT FEW DAYS TO
REACH MONITOR STAGE ON JUNE 10TH. THE WEST FORK OF THE CARSON
RIVER BETWEEN WOODFORDS AND GARDNERVILLE WILL REMAIN NEAR MONITOR
STAGE THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.  BRONG
