AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
1020 AM PDT WED JUN 29 2011

.UPDATE...
UPPER LOW IS BEGINNING TO MOVE EAST AT A FASTER PACE AS UPPER JET
WORKS AROUND TO EAST SIDE OF SYSTEM AND PACNW TROUGH ADVANCES
INLAND. LARGE SCALE LIFT WILL CONTINUE IN ADVANCE OF UPPER LOW
WITH DAYTIME HEATING ADDING TO ABUNDANT MOISTURE TO INCREASE
INSTABILITY. HEATING/LARGE SCALE LIFT WILL MAXIMIZE OVER THE
BASIN AND RANGE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. LOW-MID LEVEL SHEAR PROFILES ALONG FRONTAL
BOUNDARY HAVE BEEN ELEVATED THIS MORNING ACROSS FAR EASTERN
PERSHING AND CHURCHILL COUNTIES WITH RADAR SHOWING ROTATION IN
DEEPER CELLS. LATEST SPC MESOSCALE ANALYSIS WERE INDICATING LARGE
0-3KM SRM IN THIS AREA. SO A FEW STORMS WILL BECOME ORGANIZED AND
STRONG THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE THE MAIN FOCUS SHIFTS EAST
OF AREA. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE QUICKLY FROM WEST TO EAST THIS
EVENING ON BACK SIDE OF TROUGH. RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE GENERALLY
BEEN AROUND 0.50-1.00 INCHES IN THE SIERRA WITH 0.10-0.25 INCHES
OVER WESTERN NV. AMOUNTS WILL BE MORE SPOTTY DUE TO THE CONVECTIVE
NATURE THIS AFTERNOON BUT SHOULD BE AROUND 0.10 INCH OR LESS IN
MOST LOCATIONS EXCEPT WHERE HEAVIER CELLS DEVELOP AND PRODUCE
UPWARDS TO 0.25 INCH AMOUNTS IN THE BASIN AND RANGE. HOHMANN

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 305 AM PDT WED JUN 29 2011/

SHORT TERM...
ANOMALOUSLY COLD/DEEP UPPER LOW OVER SAN FRANCISCO WILL CONTINUE TO
BRING SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION THIS MORNING
AS IT BEGINS TO SWING INLAND. AS OF 3 AM...RAINFALL AMOUNTS GREATER
THAN 0.75 INCH HAVE BEEN MEASURED IN MANY AREAS OVER AND WEST OF THE
SIERRA CREST...WITH BETWEEN 0.20-0.40 INCH FOR MOST SIERRA LOCATIONS
EAST OF THE CREST...LOCALLY OVER 0.50 INCH ON THE WEST SHORE OF LAKE
TAHOE. SHOWERS HAVE BEGAN SPILLING OVER INTO WRN NV LATE LAST NIGHT
BUT SO FAR MOST LOCATIONS HAVE SEEN LESS THAN 0.10 INCH. SNOW LEVELS
HAVE BEEN SLOW TO FALL...BUT SHOULD STILL DROP TO 8500-9000 FT THIS
MORNING. A FEW INCHES OF WET SNOW IS POSSIBLE ON THE HIGHEST PEAKS.

NUMEROUS SHOWERS OVER THE SIERRA AND NWRN NV WILL TAPER TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS THROUGH THE MID TO LATE MORNING HOURS AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES
INTO THE SIERRA. 00Z MODELS STILL SHOW GOOD INSTABILITY OVER EASTERN
PERSHING...CHURCHILL...AND MINERAL COUNTIES LATE THIS MORNING AND
AFTERNOON UNDER THE LEADING EDGE OF THE COLD POOL ALOFT. 00Z MODELS
ALSO DEPICT STRONG CONVERGENCE ALONG A SURFACE BOUNDARY TO THE EAST
OF HWY 95. STILL EXPECT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP IN THESE
AREAS LATE THIS MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON...THEN QUICKLY PUSH EAST
INTO CNTRL NV.

HIGHS TODAY WILL BE WELL BELOW AVERAGE WITH THE UPPER LOW OVERHEAD.
700 MB TEMPS AS LOW AS -2C AND 500 MB HEIGHTS IN THE 560S WILL KEEP
TEMPS IN THE 60S ALONG THE HWY 395 CORRIDOR AND IN THE 50S FOR THE
SIERRA VALLEYS AND TAHOE BASIN. THE WIND WILL PICK UP AGAIN THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS WRN NV...BUT WITH GUSTS ONLY TO AROUND 25 MPH.

THE UPPER LOW WILL EJECT WEDNESDAY NIGHT BRINGING AN END TO THE
THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPS WILL BE ON
THE COOL SIDE FOR ALMOST JULY AS DRIER AIR MOVES IN AND SKIES BEGIN
TO CLEAR.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE ERN PAC AND SWRN STATES THE LATTER
HALF OF THE WEAK...WITH ZONAL FLOW ALOFT AND RISING HEIGHTS OVER OUR
REGION. THIS WILL BRING GRADUAL WARMING WITH HIGHS RETURNING TO NEAR
AVERAGE BY FRIDAY AND TO SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE BY SATURDAY.
WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY AS MODELS PROJECT WEAK
SURFACE GRADIENTS...WITH A THERMAL TROUGH TO THE WEST OF THE SIERRA
CREST. SCV

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS AGAIN SHOWING GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE BULK OF
THE EXTENDED PERIOD AS FOUR CORNERS HIGH BUILDS EARLY BEFORE
STARTING TO SHIFT TO THE EAST A BIT BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. ECMWF
AND GFS DO HINT AT A SHORT WAVE TROF MOVING TOWARD THE RGN FROM THE
WEST BY THE END OF THE PERIOD WHILE MOST MODELS SHOW A WEAK
DISTURBANCE LIFTING NORTH AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH
MONDAY/TUESDAY. BEST INSTABILITY SHOULD BE MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH
SOME OVERNIGHT CONVECTION POSSIBLE INTO MONDAY NIGHT. PWAT PROG NOT
AS WET TODAY AS 24 HOURS AGO...BUT STILL UP TO ALMOST 0.75 INCHES
FOR THE SRN CWA BY TUESDAY AFTN. WILL KEEP ISOLD TSTMS ACROSS THE
SOUTH ON SUNDAY AND INTRODUCE THEM FARTHER NORTH BY MONDAY/TUESDAY
AND MENTION SHOWERS AS WHILE FOR THOSE DAYS. ALTHOUGH THE FAR NRN
ACTIVITY COULD WELL BE DRY BOTH DAYS. LIGHT H700 FLOW ACROSS THE SRN
CWA WILL ADD TO CHANCES FOR WET STORMS BY MONDAY. HIGHS REACH AROUND
10 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE BY SUNDAY AND CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY PART
OF NEXT WEEK. MLF

AVIATION...
UPPER LOW TO MOVE OVER THE RGN TODAY WITH PERIODS OF RAIN AND TSTMS
THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. BETTER CONVECTION COVERAGE TO THE EAST OF
HIGHWAY 95 TODAY WHILE LOWEST CIGS/VSBYS WILL BE CONFINED TO THE
SIERRA AND INTO NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA. CIGS SHOULD DROP BELOW VFR
THIS MORNING BUT NOT LIKELY TO GO AS LOW AS IFR EXCEPT NEAR THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS. PERIODS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN BELOW 9000 FEET
COULD ALSO DROP VSBYS TO AROUND 4 MILES AT TIMES. HIGHER ELEVATIONS
SHOULD SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW AS SNOW LEVELS DROP THROUGH THE MORNING
WITH MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION AND IFR CONDITIONS ABOVE 9000 FEET.

TO THE EAST CIGS LOWER TO AROUND 3500 FEET AND POSSIBLY LOWER FOR A
BRIEF TIME THIS MORNING WHEN HEAVIEST BAND OF PCPN MOVES INTO WRN
NV. VSBYS SHOULD STAY ABOVE 4 MILES. WINDS LESS TODAY IN CORE OF
UPPER LOW EXCEPT IN AREAS EAST OF HIGHWAY 95 WHERE CONVECTION OCCURS
AND SFC WINDS COULD BE ERRATIC AND GUSTY. MLF

HYDROLOGY...
ANOMALOUSLY COLD UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES MOVING EAST OVER THE AREA
TODAY BRINGING COOLER TEMPS...SO LESS SNOWMELT THROUGH TODAY AND
TONIGHT. BUT THERE REMAIN FLOODING CONCERNS AS LIGHT TO MODERATE
RAINS FALL OVER PARTS OF THE REGION...WITH THE HEAVIEST RAIN FROM
TAHOE NORTH. PCPN TOTALS SO FAR HAVE NOT BEEN QUITE AS HIGH AS
EXPECTED...ALTHOUGH SOME AREAS OF LASSEN COUNTY INTO NRN WASHOE
COUNTY HAVE SEEN STORM TOTALS APPROACHING 0.75 INCHES. FARTHER SOUTH
TOTALS HAVE BEEN AROUND 0.50 INCHES ALONG THE CREST IN THE TAHOE
AREA AND LESS TO THE SOUTH INTO ALPINE AND MONO COUNTIES. STILL
EXPECTING ADDITIONAL RAIN THIS MORNING MANY AREAS...MAYBE ANOTHER
0.25-0.35 INCHES. SNOW LEVELS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO FALL AS WELL...AT OR
ABOVE 9500 FEET NOW. THIS SHOULD LOWER A BIT MORE THROUGH THE
MORNING BEFORE RISING THIS AFTERNOON. SO MOST PCPN FALLS AS RAIN
TODAY...AND WILL CONTRIBUTE SOME TO MELTING MORE SNOW AND CAUSE
DIRECT RUNOFF OVER AREAS THAT HAVE LITTLE SNOW AND HAVE RECEIVED
RAIN ALREADY.

IN THE TAHOE AREA SOME SMALL STREAMS HAVE RESPONDED WELL THIS
MORNING WITH ADDITIONAL RESPONSES POSSIBLE AS MORE RAIN FALLS. NO
SIGNIFICANT FLOODING HAS OCCURRED OR IS EXPECTED UNLESS RAIN RATES
INCREASE MUCH MORE. BUT SOME FLOODING OVER VERY LOW LYING AREAS NEAR
THE SMALL STREAMS IS POSSIBLE THIS MORNING. SO WILL MAINTAIN THE
AREAL FLOOD ADVISORY THERE THROUGH THE DAY AND LET LATER SHIFTS
EVALUATE. TO THE NORTH THE HEAVIEST RAINS IN LASSEN COUNTY ARE
MAINLY EAST OF THE SUSAN RIVER BASIN AND THE RIVER HAS NOT RESPONDED
AS MUCH AS FORECAST. MORE RAINS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY...BUT SHOULD NOT
CAUSE MUCH IN THE WAY OF FLOODING CONCERNS.

THE WALKER RIVER BASIN REMAINS THE GREATEST CONCERN AS IT STILL HAS
THE LARGEST HIGH ELEVATION SNOWPACK OF ANY BASIN AND THE RAINFALL
WILL HELP MELT OFF ADDITIONAL SNOW. THE WEST WALKER RIVER ABOVE
TOPAZ WILL SEE MINOR FLOODING LATER TODAY DUE TO RAIN AND SNOWMELT
RUNOFF...WITH NEAR MODERATE FLOODING POSSIBLE LATER TONIGHT...SO
WILL MAINTAIN THE FLOOD WARNING TODAY. WHILE DOWNSTREAM THERE HAS
BEEN A SLIGHT DECREASE IN THE FLOWS...THIS SHOULD REVERSE IN THE
NEXT FEW DAYS AS FLOWS INCREASE AGAIN FROM TODAY'S MELT AND
INCREASED MELT LATER THIS WEEK AS TEMPERATURES WARM AGAIN. A FLOOD
WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR MODERATE FLOODING FROM MASON TO THE
WEBER RESERVOIR. PREVIOUSLY SPOTTERS REPORTED WATER TO WITHIN A
COUPLE OF INCHES OF BRIDGE BOTTOMS CROSSING THE WALKER RIVER IN THE
MASON VALLEY...WITH SIGNIFICANT FLOODING OF AGRICULTURAL AREAS. IN
ADDITION...FLOOD WATERS ARE NEARING THE LOWEST STRUCTURES ALONG THE
RIVER. DOWNSTREAM OF WEBER RESERVOIR ON THE MAINSTEM WALKER AND
TOPAZ LAKE ON THE WEST WALKER REMAIN UNDER A FLOOD WATCH AS
ADDITIONAL RELEASES MAY BE NECESSARY.

SMALLER CREEKS AND STREAMS THROUGHOUT MONO COUNTY HAVE ALREADY SEEN
MINOR FLOODING DUE TO SNOWMELT AND ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE RECEDED
SLIGHTLY DUE TO THE COOLER TEMPERATURES...THESE WILL RISE ONCE AGAIN
WITH THE RAIN FALLING ON TOP OF A RIPE HIGH ELEVATION SNOW PACK AND
ADDITIONAL FLOODING MAY BE POSSIBLE LATER THIS WEEK AS ABOVE AVERAGE
TEMPERATURES RETURN TO THE AREA. GREATEST FLOODING CONCERNS IN THE
SMALLER STREAMS INCLUDE AREAS ABOVE BRIDGEPORT...IN THE LEE VINING
AREA...THE MAMMOTH LAKES AREAS AND THE UPPER REACHES OF THE OWENS
RIVER IN FAR SRN MONO COUNTY. PREVIOUS REPORTS INCLUDE SEVERAL
CAMPGROUNDS ALONG CREEKS AND STREAMS FLOODING IN ADDITION TO
BACKCOUNTRY ROADS. AN AREAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR MONO
COUNTY. DF/MLF
