AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
940 AM PDT FRI MAY 25 2012

.SYNOPSIS...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE GREAT BASIN
TODAY BRINGING IN COOLER AIR...SHOWERS...AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS.
SHOWERS WILL SPREAD ACROSS MOST OF THE GREAT BASIN TODAY. AS THIS
LOW MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH THE STATE THIS WEEKEND...THE MOUNTAINS
OF NORTHERN AND EAST CENTRAL NEVADA WILL ACCUMULATE SEVERAL INCHES
OF SNOW. SHOWERS WILL BE TAPERING OFF SUNDAY AND A WARMING TREND
WILL BEGIN ON MEMORIAL DAY.

&&

.UPDATE...INCREASED ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE ACROSS THE
REGION FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. DON'T NECESSARILY
THINK THERE WILL BE ANY MORE THUNDERSTORMS THAN PREVIOUSLY
EXPECTED...JUST DON'T FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL BE AS CONFINED
AS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT ESPECIALLY GIVEN MOST RECENT NAM AND GFS
LI'S PREDICTED TO BE NEGATIVE ACROSS CENTRAL NEVADA...AND GIVEN
RECENT CU BUILDUPS IN CENTRAL NEVADA. NO OTHER CHANGES AT THIS
TIME. RCM

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED AT 313 AM /

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

OVERVIEW. SHOWERS HAVE BEEN TAPERING OFF OVER NORTHERN NEVADA THIS
MORNING. SOME STRONGER SHOWERS BEGAN DEVELOPING OVER WESTERN
NEVADA AFTER MIDNIGHT...RENO WFO HAD SNOW SHOWERS WITH LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS ON GRASSY AREAS AS RNO AIRPORT TEMPERATURES WERE IN
THE 40S WITH LIGHT RAIN. MODELS ARE INDICATING THE CENTER OF THE
ELONGATED INCOMING UPPER LOW TO BE OVER THE CA/OR BORDER AT THIS
TIME. THE RUC AND NAM 09Z TIMING SEEMS ABOUT RIGHT WHILE THE
GFS/ECMWF MAY BE A LITTLE LATE ON THE TIMING. THE ECMWF AND THE
NAM BOTH DEVELOP SHOWERS WHERE THEY ARE OCCURRING AT THIS TIME
HOWEVER A TAD LATE. THINK THE ENERGY AROUND THIS SYSTEM IS BEING
UNDERPLAYED. THAT BEING SAID...CANNOT GET MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT
WITH THE TRACKING OF THIS FEATURE THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING.

TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE MODEL DEPICTION OF THE UPPER JET FLOW IS
LEANING TOWARDS BALANCE AT THIS TIME AND THE CORE IS OVER CENTRAL
NEVADA THIS MORNING. HOWEVER FURTHER DIGGING IS POSSIBLE AS THE
WESTERN CORE IS WILL REMAIN SLIGHTLY STRONGER TODAY AND KEEP THE
LOW STRETCHED...ALLOWING FOR DELAYED PRECIPITATION PROGRESS INTO
CENTRAL NEVADA. CONDITIONS WILL BE VERY DRY AGAIN TODAY IN CENTRAL
NEVADA. HAVE ISSUED A RED FLAG WARNING FOR FIRE ZONES 455 AND 457
AND A WIND ADVISORY FOR ZONES 035 AND ZONES 041. WINDS WILL BE
STRONGEST OVER NORTHEASTERN NYE COUNTY AND SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF
WHITE PINE COUNTY. THINKING GREAT BASIN PARK AREA WILL SEE
STRONGEST WINDS BUT ELY GUIDANCE HAS INCREASED THE LAST TWO MODEL
RUNS. WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH EXPECTED...THE GREAT BASIN PARK BASE
COULD GET OVER 50 MPH. MOST OF THE QUANTIFIABLE PRECIPITATION
SHOULD BE OVER HUMBOLDT COUNTY TODAY AS THE UPPER ENERGY PULLS THE
MOISTURE AWAY FROM MOST OF THE CWFA. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE AROUND
6500 FEET OVER NORTHWEST NEVADA AND ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP
SHOULD BE CONFINED TO THE NORTH. THE MU CAPE IS LOW SO DO NOT
EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO MAINTAIN OVERNIGHT AS THE CENTER OF THE
LOW MOVES INTO NEVADA.

SATURDAY. THE CENTER OF THE UPPER LOW IS PURPORTED TO MOVE
THROUGH TONOPAH AND THEN LIFT NORTH AND TRACK THROUGH NE NV. AN
INTENSE PRECIPITATION CORE IS PROPOSED BY THE MODELS STRETCHING
FROM TONOPAH THROUGH NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY. THINK THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT WILL BE EAST OF THIS CORE WHERE THE MOST INSTABILITY
IS APPEARING NEAR THE CENTER OF THE STACKED LOW AND UNDER THE
110KT JET FEATURE.

A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW IS POSSIBLE BELOW 6500 FEET HOWEVER NO
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED BELOW THAT LEVEL. THE RUBY MOUNTAINS
COULD ACCUMULATE 4-6 INCHES OF NEW SNOW.

NOT EXPECTING TRAVEL PROBLEMS AS THE SNOW WILL BE CONFINED TO THE
HIGHEST ELEVATIONS...BUT RECREATION ISSUES WILL ARISE FOR PERSON
OUTDOORS ON THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY. QUIET AND DRY
UNEVENTFUL WEATHER THROUGH NEXT WEEK...LITTLE TO DISCUSS. COOL NW
FLOW SUNDAY BEHIND DEPARTING STORM SYSTEM WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS
RECOVERING TO THE 60S. FLOW TRANSITIONS TO ZONAL MEMORIAL DAY AND
TUESDAY...FOLLOWED BY 500 MB RIDGING WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. 00Z
ECMWF/GFS BOTH FORECAST PEAK HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE INTENSITY AT 586 DM
ACROSS NEVADA ON THURSDAY. SUNNY DAYS AND CLEAR NIGHTS WITH A
WARMING TREND AND FEW CLOUDS. ALL POP GRIDS ZERO MONDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY. NEXT FRIDAY...AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WILL APPROACH 90 IN
THE SW FLOW BEHIND THE DEPARTING RIDGE AXIS. BT

AVIATION...STRONG STORM SYSTEM IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AT 12Z FRI
WILL MOVE TO NORTHERN NYE COUNTY 12Z SAT. MID CLOUD DECKS WILL
THICKEN AND LOWER ACROSS NEVADA THROUGH 00Z. -SHRA MOST LIKELY AT
KWMC/NW NEVADA THROUGH 00Z. -SHRA/TSRA WILL EXPAND ACROSS NEVADA
00-12Z SAT WITH CEILINGS LOWERING TO MVFR AT TIMES.

PRIMARY IMPACT TO AVIATION OPERATIONS IS EXPECTED 12Z SAT-00Z SUN
WITH NUMEROUS -SHRA AND ISOLATED -TSRA. CIGS/VIS WILL LOWER TO MVFR
AT TIMES WITH MOUNTAINS OBSCURED. BT

FIRE WEATHER...RED FLAG WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ZONES 455 AND 457
THROUGH 11 PM TONIGHT FOR WIND AND RH COMBINATION CONCERN. MAIN
CONCERN IS EASTERN 457 AND SOUTHEAST 455. GREAT BASIN PARK AREA
COULD EXCEED 50 MPH AT BASE LEVEL. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY PAST 11 PM
TONIGHT HOWEVER RH LEVELS WILL INCREASE THUS REDUCING CONCERN.
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER NORTHERN ZONES
TODAY...AND EASTERN ZONES SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP ENOUGH
FOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ABOVE ABOUT 6500 FEET. SHOWERS WILL TAPER
OFF SUNDAY. A WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN ON MEMORIAL DAY AS DRIER
CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED NEXT WEEK.
