AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
230 PM PDT MON AUG 20 2012

.SYNOPSIS...MONSOON MOISTURE WILL QUICKLY RETURN TO NEVADA TONIGHT
AND TUESDAY MORNING WITH CLOUDY SKIES...SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS MAINLY ELKO AND WHITE PINE COUNTIES TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY BE STRONG
PRODUCING SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS AND
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN ARE EXPECTED IN NYE AND WHITE PINE COUNTIES ON
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY
HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY SHUNTED SOUTHWARD TO CENTRAL NEVADA THIS
AFTERNOON. PRECIPITABLE WATER HAS BEEN REDUCED TO 0.50-0.60 INCH
ACROSS ELKO COUNTY...JUST ENOUGH FOR SOME CUMULUS. STRONGEST
INSTABILITY /CAPE TO NEAR 1000 J/KG AND LIFTED INDEX NEAR -4/
RESIDES ACROSS SOUTHERN NYE AND SE WHITE PINE COUNTIES...AND THIS
IS WHERE ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CONFINED THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...RICH MONSOON MOISTURE POISED JUST TO THE SOUTH ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEVADA AND THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY. RIDGE AXIS OVER
EASTERN NEVADA THIS AFTERNOON WILL MOVE EAST INTO UTAH BY
MIDNIGHT ALLOWING FOR MOISTURE TO SURGE NORTHWARD INTO NEVADA
OVERNIGHT. EXPECT GENERALLY CLOUDY SKIES...SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS
AND VERY MILD OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 50S AND
LOWER 60S. FORECASTING NOCTURNAL CONVECTION IN NEVADA IS NEVER
EASY...BUT 12Z NAM/GFS BOTH SUGGEST ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO WARRANT
MENTIONING AT LEAST ISOLATED THUNDER OVERNIGHT.

TUESDAY...ACTIVE THUNDERSTORM DAY EXPECTED AHEAD OF APPROACHING
TROUGH...BUT ONLY ACROSS EASTERN NEVADA. MODELS CONTINUE TO
DEPICT AN EXTREMELY TIGHT MOISTURE GRADIENT ACROSS NEVADA...WITH
PW RANGING FROM 1 INCH NEAR WENDOVER...DOWN TO LESS THAN 0.25 INCH
NEAR WINNEMUCCA. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP OVER EASTERN NEVADA /PRIMARILY ELKO AND WHITE PINE
COUNTIES/ TUESDAY AFTERNOON...AHEAD OF A QUASI-DRYLINE THAT WILL
BISECT THE CWA AT PEAK HEATING. CAPE AND BULK SHEAR VALUES WILL
ORGANIZE CONVECTION ACROSS EASTERN NEVADA...AND JET DYNAMICS FROM
APPROACHING TROUGH WILL HELP AS WELL. WITH THE CONSISTENCY IN
MODEL SOLUTIONS...WENT AHEAD AND ADDED WIND/HAIL WORDING TO THE
ZONES FOR EASTERN NEVADA TUESDAY. WESTERN NEVADA BONE DRY IN THE
DRY SLOT...WITH A VERY TIGHT GRADIENT IN THE POP GRIDS. EXPECT SW
TO W WINDS TO INCREASE TO AT LEAST BREEZY LEVELS...AS 700 MB WINDS
INCREASE TO NEAR 20 KTS.

WEDNESDAY...AS FIRST SUGGESTED BY THE ECMWF MODEL /AS USUAL/
ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY ARRIVES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...TO
NEAR LAS VEGAS BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THIS
FEATURE WILL EFFICIENTLY PULL ADDITIONAL MONSOON MOISTURE INTO OUR
SE ZONES FOR INCREASED THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE. NAM/GFS HAVE BOTH
FOLLOWED THE ECMWF'S LEAD...SO INCREASED POP GRIDS SUBSTANTIALLY
ACROSS WHITE PINE/NYE COUNTIES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
EXPECT LION'S SHARE OF THE MOISTURE TO BE CONFINED SOUTH AND EAST
OF THE RUBY MOUNTAINS...BUT IN THOSE AREAS LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
AND LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE A CONCERN.  TURNER

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY. EURO AND GFS START
OFF WITH AN OKAY AGREEMENT ON THE BIG PIC...BUT TIMING ISSUES ARE
ALREADY ON THE TABLE. CONUS RIDGE BREAKS DOWN WITH THE ONSLAUGHT OF
THE PACIFIC CLOSED LOW WHICH MOVES EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
INTO EXTREME SOUTHERN NEVADA. THE EC IS FASTER AT 500 MB...ALSO MORE
ROBUST ON BRINGING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST
PART OF THE FORECAST AREA...OR INTO EXTREME SOUTHEAST WHITE PINE
COUNTY. THE FLOW OF MOISTURE WILL BE SHORT LIVED...FROM WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. DYNAMICS ARE ALSO
LIMITED WITH WEAK SURFACE CONVERGENCE IN THE REGION AND A WEAK JET
STREAK OVER NORTHERN NEVADA. POPS SEEMED A BIT LOW IN THE INITIAL
PART OF THE FORECAST WITH THE CLOSED LOW IN THE VICINITY SO UPPED
THEM TO CHANCE FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...AND THEN BACKED
OFF. ALSO...LISTED CONVECTION AS SCATTERED OR ISOLATED IN THE FIRST
PART...AND THEN LISTED AS CHANCE OR SLIGHT CHANCE AFTER. BY LATE
FRIDAY OR EARLY SATURDAY...MAJOR UPPER TROF MOVES INTO PACIFIC
NORTHWEST WHICH CREATES SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE SIERRA NEVADA INTO
THE GREAT BASIN...AND DRIES OUT THE ATMOSPHERE OVER US THROUGH THE
REST OF THE PERIOD. BUT IT ALSO COOLS IT OFF A BIT WITH HIGHS
GENERALLY IN THE 80S...WITH A STRAY 90 OR SO IN CENTRAL NEVADA
VALLEYS AND HUMBOLDT COUNTY. LOWS END UP IN THE 40S AND 50S...WITH A
FEW 30S IN THE FAR NORTH AND HIGHER POPULATED TERRAIN.

WINDS GET A BIT GUSTY...BUT NOT REALLY IMPRESSIVE...WITH APPROACH OF
MERIDIONAL TROUGH TO NORTH.  BB

&&

.AVIATION...DRY AIR IN PLACE OVER NEVADA AND THIS WILL CONTINUE
OVERNIGHT...WITH ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR ANY STORMS NEAR KTPH OR
KELY. ON TUESDAY...A LITTLE SURGE OF MOISTURE WILL MOVE NORTH
INTO THE STATE...PROVIDING A CHANCE FOR STORMS AT KTPH...KELY
AND...TO A LESSER DEGREE...KEKO. WINDS WILL GENERALLY TURN SOUTH
TO SOUTHWEST AND BE A BIT GUSTY TUESDAY AFTERNOON.  BB

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CONFINED TO THE
SOUTHERN FWZ THIS AFTERNOON...455 AND 457. MONSOON MOISTURE SURGES
QUICKLY NORTH ACROSS THE DISTRICT TONIGHT WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS.
ISOLATED LIGHTNING CANNOT BE RULED OUT OVERNIGHT. SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED ACROSS THE EASTERN FWZ ON TUESDAY...
WITH THE HIGHEST COVERAGE ACROSS FWZ 469...470...AND 455. SOME
STORMS ACROSS EASTERN NEVADA ON TUESDAY WILL BE STRONG PRODUCING
STRONG GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WILL FAVOR
THE SE FWZ ON WEDNESDAY...FWZ 455 AND 457. THROUGH THE ENTIRE
FORECAST PERIOD...LAL WILL BE ENHANCED TO 4-5 AT TIMES...BUT ALL
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE SUFFICIENT WETTING RAINS TO
LIMIT NEW LIGHTNING IGNITION POTENTIAL.  TURNER

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL
NEVADA...NORTH CENTRAL NEVADA...NORTHEAST NEVADA AND SOUTH
CENTRAL NEVADA.

.DAY ONE...THIS MORNING THROUGH TONIGHT.

DEEP MOISTURE WILL COMBINE WITH INSTABILITY AND LIFT TO PRODUCE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF NORTHERN NEVADA
THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. STORM MOTION WILL GENERALLY BE SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST TO BEGIN THE DAY. THE THREATS FROM TODAY'S STORMS WILL
BE HEAVY RAIN...STRONG WIND GUSTS TO 45 TO 55 MPH...AND CLOUD TO
GROUND LIGHTNING. SOME OF THE STORMS MAY BE STRONG...AND COULD
PRODUCE SMALL HAIL AND WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 58 MPH.

ALTHOUGH LOCALIZED FLOODING IS A CONCERN FOR MUCH OF NORTHERN
NEVADA TODAY...A HEIGHTENED RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING EXISTS IN
WHITE PINE COUNTY. SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE AND THE POSSIBILITY FOR
STORMS TO MOVE OVER OR DEVELOP OVER THE SAME AREAS HAS LEAD TO THE
ISSUANCE OF A FLASH FLOOD WATCH TODAY FROM 11 AM TO 11 PM FOR THIS AREA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

LOOK FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE MAINLY OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY...WITH ACTIVITY
DIMINISHING IN AREAL COVERAGE THURSDAY AS MUCH DRIER AIR MOVES IN
FROM THE WEST.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS ARE ASKED TO REPORT WEATHER PHENOMENA ACCORDING TO
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE.
