AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
822 PM PDT SAT MAR 31 2012

.UPDATE...

ALLOWED THE HIGH WIND WARNINGS FOR MONO AND MINERAL COUNTIES TO
EXPIRE AT 8 PM. WIND PRONE AREAS COULD STILL SEE SOME GUSTS OF UP
TO 55 MPH THROUGH MIDNIGHT, ALTHOUGH THE WINDS IN THE MAJORITY OF
THE AREAS HAVE SUBSIDED TO BELOW 45 MPH.

HEAVIEST SNOWFALL HAS ENDED IN THE TAHOE BASIN, WITH SNOW SHOWERS
EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT. A BAND OF HEAVIER SHOWERS IS CURRENTLY
MOVING THROUGH SACRAMENTO VALLEY AND EXPECTED TO HIT THE TAHOE
BASIN AROUND 11PM TONIGHT. THIS WILL BRING AN ADDITIONAL BURST OF
SNOW TO THE AREA, WITH ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 1-3 INCHES
AROUND LAKE LEVEL, AND 3-6 INCHES ABOVE 7000 FEET.

AS FOR THE RENO-CARSON CITY AREA WE WILL ALSO SEE SOME OF THESE
SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH AROUND MIDNIGHT, WITH UP TO AN INCH OF SNOW
POSSIBLE DOWN TO THE VALLEY FLOORS.

DOWN IN MONO COUNTY, THE HEAVIEST SNOW IS STILL MOVING THROUGH THE
SOUTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY, NEAR MAMMOTH LAKES. IN GENERAL,
THERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER 1-3 INCHES POSSIBLE THROUGH TONIGHT ABOVE
7000 FEET, WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS ALONG THE CREST. HOON

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 519 PM PDT SAT MAR 31 2012/

UPDATE...
WENT AHEAD AND ALLOWED THE HIGH WIND WARNINGS TO EXPIRE FOR AREAS
NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50. DUST STORM WARNING FOR THE WESTERN NEVADA
BASIN AND RANGE WAS ALSO ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AS THE COLD FRONT HAS
MOVED THROUGH THE AREA AND WINDS ARE DECREASING BEHIND THE FRONT.

THE BACK EDGE OF THE SNOW IS QUICKLY MOVING ACROSS THE SIERRA
CREST AT THIS TIME, WITH DONNOR SUMMIT EXPECTED TO BEGIN LETTING
UP WITHIN THE HOUR. WE'VE BEEN SEEING SOME HEAVY SNOWFALL IN AND
AROUND THE TAHOE BASIN LATE THIS AFTERNOON, WITH REPORTS OF 3-4
INCHES ALREADY COMING IN FROM AROUND TRUCKEE. WEBCAMS ARE SHOWING
ACCUMULATING SNOW ON ALL AREA HIGHWAYS AROUND THE TAHOE BASIN, AS
WELL AS AROUND TRUCKEE. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL SLOW DOWN AFTER
THE BACK EDGE PASSES THROUGH THE BASIN, ALTHOUGH BASED OFF LATEST
RADAR IMAGERY OVER THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY, WE SHOULD SEE PLENTY OF
SHOWER ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT AS THE COLD POOL PASSES OVERHEAD.

UPDATED THE EXPECTED SNOW ACCUMULATIONS FOR THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT IN THE TAHOE BASIN TO 3-6 INCHES AT LAKE LEVEL AND 5-10
INCHES ABOVE 7000 FEET...ALTHOUGH MAJORITY OF THIS WILL FALL
BEFORE 8 PM. HOON

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 305 PM PDT SAT MAR 31 2012/

SHORT TERM...
STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHED THROUGH RENO-CARSON AT 130 PM AND IS
TRACKING ACROSS WESTERN NEVADA WITH WIND GUSTS OF 50-70 MPH AHEAD
OF THE FRONT. WIDESPREAD BLOWING DUST WILL KEEP VISIBILITY BELOW 1
MILE ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 95 THROUGH 5 PM. SEVERAL SPOTTERS
HAVE REPORTED DUST STORM CONDITIONS AND NEAR ZERO VISIBILITY.

ONCE THE FRONT PASSES A SHARP CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE/SNOW LEVEL AND
WIND DIRECTION OCCURS. SNOW LEVELS HAVE DROPPED DOWN TO 4500-5000
FEET IN THE SIERRA AND FAR WESTERN NEVADA. BASED ON WEB CAMS AND
CHAIN CONTROLS SNOW IS JUST STARTING TO ACCUMULATE ON ROADS BELOW
7000 FEET IN THE TAHOE BASIN AND DOWN TO NEAR 5000 FEET IN EASTERN
PLUMAS AND LASSEN COUNTIES. SNOW LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO FALL
BEHIND THE FRONT AND ALLOW A FEW INCHES OF SNOW TO ACCUMULATE ON
ROADS IN THE NORTHERN SIERRA.

BACK EDGE OF THE HEAVY PRECIPITATION BAND EXTENDS FROM WESTERN
PLUMAS COUNTY TO STOCKTON. BEHIND THE HEAVY PRECIP IS A LARGE
AREA OF SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CORE OF THE LOW AND A
SECONDARY WAVE. THIS SECONDARY WAVE AND INSTABILITY FROM THE LOW
WILL MAINTAIN SHOWERS OVER THE SIERRA AND FAR WESTERN NEVADA INTO
THIS EVENING. SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE MODERATE TO HEAVY
SNOW IN THE SIERRA TONIGHT WITH ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS 3 TO 6
INCHES POSSIBLE ABOVE 7000 FEET.

FOR MONO COUNTY, THE FRONT WILL PASS BY EARLY EVENING WITH SNOW
LEVELS DROPPING FROM 8000-9000 FEET DOWN TO 6000 FEET. SEVERAL
INCHES OF SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE ALONG THE SIERRA CREST, WITH
MINIMAL TRAVEL IMPACTS FOR HIGHWAY 395 DUE TO SNOW.

ACROSS WESTERN NEVADA THE INITIAL RAIN BAND IS LIGHT WITH AMOUNTS
LESS THAN 0.05 INCHES. ADDITIONAL RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL
CROSS THE SIERRA THOUGH AMOUNTS WON'T BE TOO IMPRESSIVE AS THE
FRONT IS DETACHED FROM THE LARGE SCALE FORCING. SNOW LEVELS WILL
LOWER TO NEAR VALLEY FLOORS THIS EVENING, THOUGH ACCUMULATIONS ON
ROADS IS VERY UNLIKELY. BEST CHANCE FOR AN INCH OR SO OF SNOW WILL
BE IN THE FOOTHILLS ABOVE 5000 FEET AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 395.

SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH ACROSS ALL AREAS AFTER MIDNIGHT
WITH VERY LIGHT SHOWERS POSSIBLE INTO SUNDAY DUE TO LINGERING
MOISTURE. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS TO THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA
MONDAY WITH A WARMING TREND THROUGH TUESDAY. A NEW AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPS OFF THE WEST COAST MONDAY NIGHT, WITH INCREASING
WINDS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. GUSTS OF 40-50 MPH ARE POSSIBLE TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW NORTH
OF US-50. BRONG

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

ONLY MINOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE ONGOING FORECAST AS THERE ARE
STILL SOME PROBLEMS WITH MODELS DIVERGING TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK
AND INTO THE WEEKEND. UPPER LEVEL LOW DROPS DOWN THE WEST COAST
WEDNESDAY, PUSHING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION. THE GFS AND EC
REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SYSTEM, WHILE THE GEM CONTINUES
TO BE AN OUTLIER...BEING BOTH WETTER AND FASTER THAN OTHER MODELS.
WITH ENSEMBLES SUPPORTING THE GFS AND THE EC SOLUTION, HAVE KEPT THE
FORECAST TRENDING IN THAT DIRECTION. FRONT LOOKS TO FALL APART AS IT
CROSSES THE SIERRA, SO HAVE MAINTAINED HIGHEST POPS THROUGH THE
NORTHERN SIERRA AND NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA, WITH LESSER CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION ELSEWHERE. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY AHEAD OF AND ALONG THE
FRONT ON WEDNESDAY WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING OFF TO ABOUT 8 TO 12
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR THURSDAY.

HEADING INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, MODELS ARE HINTING AT A WEAK
SECONDARY WAVE DROPPING DOWN THE BACKSIDE OF THE TROUGH, BUT DIFFER
GREATLY IN THE DETAILS. THE GEM BROUGHT THE FIRST TROUGH THROUGH SO
QUICKLY THAT IT LEAVES THE DOOR OPEN FOR THE NEXT WAVE TO COME INTO
THE REGION FRIDAY. THE EC STILL HAS THE LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER THE
REGION SO THE SECONDARY WAVE DIGS SOUTH AND RE-AMPLIFIES THE TROUGH,
BUT THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE 12Z RUN IS FASTER PUSHING THIS
OUT OF THE REGION THAN THE 00Z RUN. THIS THEN LEADS TO A SHORTWAVE
RIDGE OVER THE REGION LEADING INTO THE WEEKEND INSTEAD OF A TROUGH
STAYING AROUND. THE GFS KEEPS THE BRUNT OF THE ENERGY FROM THE
SECOND WAVE TO THE NORTH, SHIFTING THE TROUGH EASTWARD AND ALLOWING
FOR WEAK RIDGING TO BUILD OVER THE WEST. THE 12Z RUN DIFFERS FROM
THE 00Z/06Z RUNS THROUGH IN THAT IT FLATTENS OUT THE RIDGE AND
BRINGS ANOTHER TROUGH INTO THE PACNW BY THE EARLY PART OF THE
WEEKEND. WITH SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY HAVE MAINTAINED THE FORECAST AS
IS, WITH TEMPERATURES JUST BELOW NORMAL AND LOW END CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION ACROSS NORTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES. DF

AVIATION...

STRONG COLD FRONT PASSING THE REGION IS STRETCHING APPROXIMATELY
FROM GERLACH TO PYRAMID LAKE TO BRIDGEPORT AS OF 2130Z, PROGRESSING
TOWARD THE SOUTH AND EAST. AHEAD OF THE FRONT STRONG AND GUSTY S-SW
WINDS AND AREAS OF BLOWING DUST CAN BE EXPECTED, WITH RAIN, SNOW AND
GUSTY W-NW WINDS ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT. WINDS REMAIN THE
GREATEST CONCERN, ESPECIALLY AS THE FRONT PASSES AS THERE WILL BE A
DRAMATIC WIND SHIFT. MANY PILOT REPORTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED WITH
LIGHT TO MODERATE TURBULENCE THROUGH A FAIRLY DEEP LAYER AS WELL AS
WIND SHEAR ON APPROACH TO LAND. THE WIND SHEAR WILL LESSEN INTO THE
EVENING AS THE WIND SPEEDS BEGIN TO DECREASE.

THE FRONT HAS ALREADY PASSED THROUGH KTRK, KTVL, AND KRNO AND IS
EXPECTED THROUGH KMMH BETWEEN 23-00Z. SNOW WILL CONTINUE AT KTRK AND
KTVL WITH BOTH AIRPORTS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW LANDING MINIMUMS
THROUGH 03Z, BUT WILL THEN STILL HAVE PERIODS OF MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS
IN CONTINUING SNOW SHOWERS. KMMH WILL HAVE A HEAVY BURST OF RA/SN
ALONG THE FRONT, BUT THEN WILL SWITCH TO LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS INTO
THE EVENING. FOR KRNO, INTERMITTENT RAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO
THE EVENING, WITH PERIODS OF REDUCED CIGS/VIS. DF
