AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
336 AM PST SAT JAN 14 2012

.SHORT TERM...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL FLATTEN ACROSS THE REGION TODAY UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DROPPING SOUTH NEAR BRITISH
COLUMBIA. AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE REGION IT BRINGS INCREASED
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT ALLOWING IMPROVED
MIXING AND FURTHER WARMING OF WRN NV VALLEYS.

THIS AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DROP SOUTHWARD TOWARDS THE
REGION BRINGING WITH IT A STRONG COLD FRONT, WHICH WILL PUSH THROUGH
WRN NV AND THE SIERRA SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON. FEW CHANGES WERE
MADE TO THE GOING FORECAST AS STRENGTH AND TIMING OF THE WINDS WERE
REPRESENTATIVE OF LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS. MAIN IMPACT FROM COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL BE STRONG GUSTY WINDS COMBINED WITH A
SIGNIFICANTLY DRY AIR MASS AND MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES. THESE WINDY
AND DRY CONDITIONS HAVE RESULTED IN FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR SUNDAY
AND SUNDAY NIGHT. FOR MORE DETAILS OUTLINING THE FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS, PLEASE SEE THE FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW.

NAM AND GFS CONTINUE TO SHOW STRONG 700 MB FLOW BETWEEN 50 TO 60
KNOTS ACROSS THE SIERRA AND WRN NV ON SUNDAY. MODEL SOUNDINGS
INDICATE A WEAK CRITICAL LAYER POTENTIALLY FORMING JUST ABOVE
RIDGETOPS FOR SUNDAY AS WELL, WHICH WOULD HELP TO FORCE THE STRONGER
700MB FLOW DOWN THE FOOTHILLS AND TO THE VALLEY FLOORS IN SOME
LOCATIONS ALONG THE SIERRA FRONT. BUT DO NOT ANTICIPATE A HIGH
WIND EVENT SINCE FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL BE TOO FAST TO ALLOW A
SIGNIFICANT STABLE/CRITICAL LAYER TO DEVELOP. SO DECIDED TO ISSUE
A WIND ADVISORY FOR MONO COUNTY, MINERAL AND SOUTHERN LYON
COUNTIES, THE TAHOE BASIN, GREATER RENO-CARSON CITY- MINDEN, AND
LASSEN- EASTERN PLUMAS- EASTERN SIERRA COUNTIES. FORECASTER
CONFIDENCE IS HIGH FOR WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH WITH FRONTAL
PASSAGE WITH SOME LOCALLY HIGHER GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH. THERE IS ALSO
SOME CONCERN FOR AREAS OF BLOWING DUST ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT
AS IT PASSES QUICKLY THROUGH THE BASIN AND RANGE. DO NOT THINK
THAT VISIBILITIES WILL DROP BELOW 1 MILE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF
TIME, BUT VISIBILITY MAY VARY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
FOR AREAS MAINLY EAST OF 395.

IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION WITH THE COLD FRONT, IT STILL APPEARS
RELATIVELY MOISTURE-STARVED. CANNOT RULE OUT SOME CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT AS STRONG FRONTAL DYNAMICS COULD
GENERATE A COUPLE TENTHS OF AN INCH. TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT
WILL SIGNIFICANTLY PLUMMET, WITH HIGHS ANTICIPATED TO BE ABOUT 20
DEGREES COOLER ON MONDAY COMPARED TO SUNDAY. TUESDAY MORNING LOWS
WILL ALSO BE FRIGID IN MANY LOCATIONS AS A MUCH COLDER DRY AIR MASS
WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION. OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE FORECAST TO
BE IN THE SINGLE DIGIT AND TEENS IN WRN NV VALLEYS, WHILE IN THE
SIERRA VALLEYS SUB-ZERO READINGS MAY OCCUR. LINDAMAN

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
MADE FEW CHANGES TO THE LONG TERM AS MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH A TRANSITION TO A WET PATTERN. GFS HAS COME FURTHER SOUTH FOR
WED/THU IN LINE WITH EC AND ENSEMBLES. WILL CONTINUE TO USE A BLEND
OF ALL MODELS AS THEY ARE IN SUCH GOOD AGREEMENT. OVERALL, HIGH
CONFIDENCE IN A SERIES OF STORMS TO IMPACT THE REGION INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK WITH SOME WETTING RAINS/HIGH ELEVATION SNOW.

QUIET DAY TUESDAY WITH INCREASING CLOUDS AND CONTINUED BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. THEN FIRST STORM IN THE SERIES FOR WED. THIS WILL BE
MORE WARM AIR ADVECTION AND BEST CHANCES OF RAIN/SNOW REMAIN NORTH
OF SUSANVILLE-GERLACH. WHILE H7 TEMPS APPROACH FREEZING BY WED
AFTERNOON, PRECIP TYPE IS GOING TO BE TRICKY. SOME CONFLICTING
SIGNALS BETWEEN SFC GRADIENT/MODEL SOUNDINGS AS TO PRECIP TYPE. SOME
COLD AIR DAMMING IS POSSIBLE SO HELD SNOW LEVELS NEAR THE VALLEY
FLOORS INTO WED AFTERNOON THEN RISING WED NIGHT. ALSO, DEPENDING ON
THE STRENGTH OF THE WARM NOSE, A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN NEAR THE
OREGON BORDER IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

BEHIND THE INITIAL WARM AIR ADVECTION A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
THURSDAY SO CONTINUED WITH RELATIVELY HIGH POPS. AGAIN, THIS FRONT
LOOKS TO HAVE THE BRUNT NORTH OF SUSANVILLE-GERLACH, BUT SOME RAIN
WILL MAKE IT TO HIGHWAY 50 BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. PREV FORECAST
HANDLED THIS WELL SO MADE NO CHANGES. SNOW LEVELS WILL RISE TO
8-9000 FEET AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT, THEN FALL TO PERHAPS 6500 FEET
BEHIND IT.

AFTER A BRIEF BREAK THU NIGHT, WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE STRONGEST
SYSTEM IN THE SERIES IS SET FOR FRI AFTERNOON/FRI NIGHT. INCREASED
POPS SLIGHTLY HERE AS THIS STORM IS FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE PREVIOUS
TWO. BOTH GFS/EC HIT THE AREA NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 QUITE HARD, WITH A
MORE GLANCING BLOW TO MONO-MINERAL COUNTIES. SNOW LEVELS WILL ALSO
BE A LITTLE LOWER WITH THIS ONE, PERHAPS 1000 FEET LOWER THAN
THURSDAY. AS PREVIOUS SHIFT STATED, BEGINNING WED A SOLID 3-5+
INCHES OF WATER IS POSSIBLE ALONG THE SIERRA CREST FROM ALPINE
COUNTY NORTH WITH WETTING RAINS INTO WRN NV. LIGHTER AMOUNTS IN THE
SIERRA FURTHER SOUTH, BUT STILL THE BIGGEST STORM SINCE EARLY
OCTOBER. WALLMANN

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR WITH LIGHT WINDS THROUGH MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AT ALL TERMINALS.
CONTINUED VFR INTO EARLY SUN AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT.
WIND EVENT STILL ON TRACK FOR SUNDAY WITH GUSTS 40-45 KTS LIKELY AT
AREA TERMINALS 15Z-03Z ALONG WITH MTN WAVE TURBULENCE. FRONTAL
PASSAGE FROM 00-09Z MON FROM NORTH TO SOUTH WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW
SHOWERS POSSIBLE BEHIND THE FRONT. WALLMANN

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
STRONG COLD FRONT STILL ON TRACK TO MOVE THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. A SOLID WIND EVENT STILL LOOKS ON TRACK TOMORROW WITH
PEAK GUSTS AROUND 50 MPH ALONG THE 395 CORRIDOR, TAHOE BASIN AND
INTO MINERAL COUNTY. ANY STRONGER WINDS WOULD BE VERY LOCALIZED AND
OVER THE HIGHER RIDGES. DO NOT LIKE POTENTIAL FOR A HIGH WIND EVENT,
AND REASONING BEHIND THIS IS IN MAIN SHORT TERM DISCUSSION ABOVE.

HUMIDITY WILL ALSO BE QUITE LOW WITH AREAS NEAR AND SOUTH OF I-80
SEEING IT DROP TO 7-15% FOR A 4-6 HOUR PERIOD IN THE LATE MORNING
AND AFTERNOON. AS A RESULT, WILL UPGRADE THE WATCH TO A WARNING FOR
272, 273, 450 AND 459. FURTHER NORTH IN 270/271/278/458, DURATION OF
WINDS AND HUMIDITY LOOK SHORTER AS FRONT APPROACHES QUICKLY THERE.
PEAK GUSTS OF ONLY AROUND 40 MPH LIKELY THERE WITH RH DROPPING TO
THE UPPER TEENS ONLY FOR A BRIEF PERIOD. ALSO, WHILE RH WILL BE LOW
IN 453, WINDS DO NOT LOOK AS STRONG THERE, EXCEPT IN THE WESTERN
PORTION NEAR PYRAMID LAKE AND IN LYON COUNTY.

RESTATING THE PEAK PERIOD FOR WINDS AND LOW RH: IT WILL BE BETWEEN
10 AM AND 4 PM. WHILE THE RED FLAG WARNING WILL EXTEND A FEW HOURS
ON EITHER SIDE, THE WORST CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE ABOVE
TIME. EXPECT COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE AROUND 1PM NEAR THE OREGON BORDER,
4PM FOR RENO-TAHOE AND ABOUT 7 PM FOR MONO-MINERAL. TEMPERATURES
WILL FALL RAPIDLY WITH INCREASING HUMIDITY OVERNIGHT.

A MAJOR CHANGE TO A WETTER PATTERN LOOKS PROBABLE FOR THE END OF
NEXT WEEK. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE IN ADVANCE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME
SO FUTURE SHIFTS WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT TIME PERIOD. HOWEVER,
AFTER NEXT WEEKEND, EXPECT FIRE POTENTIAL TO GREATLY DECREASE WITH
THE ANTICIPATED RAIN/SNOW. WALLMANN

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK...CORRECTED

809 PM PST FRI JAN 13 2012

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE EASTERN SIERRA...
NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND WESTERN NEVADA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

WITH RIDGING IN PLACE...SIGNIFICANT WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS
TIME. BUT THAT WILL CHANGE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH INTO THE REGION SUNDAY. AHEAD
OF THE COLD FRONT CONDITIONS WILL BE VERY DRY AND WINDS COULD
GUST TO AROUND 55 MPH IN THE TAHOE BASIN AND ALONG THE SIERRA
FRONT SOUTH INTO MONO COUNTY. GUSTY WINDS TO NEAR 45 MPH ARE
POSSIBLE ELSEWHERE WITH BLOWING DUST LIKELY IN THE WESTERN NEVADA
BASINS. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS ALREADY IN PLACE IN THE TAHOE
BASIN AND ALONG THE SIERRA FRONT. ADDITIONAL WIND ADVISORIES OR
BLOWING DUST ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED NORTH INTO LASSEN COUNTY AND
EAST INTO THE WESTERN NEVADA BASINS.

ALONG THE FRONT A PERIOD OF SHOWERS IS POSSIBLE LATE SUNDAY INTO
EARLY MONDAY...BUT NO SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED. BEHIND
THE FRONT MUCH COLDER AIR WILL DIVE INTO THE REGION.

A PATTERN CHANGE IS LIKELY LATER NEXT WEEK AS PACIFIC MOISTURE
BEGINS TO PUSH INTO THE REGION WHILE RIDGING BREAKS DOWN. THIS
WILL ALLOW FOR INCREASING CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND NORTHWEST NEVADA BY LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
AT THIS TIME IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE HOW HIGH SNOW
LEVELS WILL RISE THURSDAY AND HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION COULD MOVE
INTO THE REGION.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.
