AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
832 AM PST THU NOV 29 2012

.UPDATE...
BUMPED UP THE START TIME OF THE WIND ADVISORIES AND HIGH WIND
WARNINGS SO THAT THEY ARE IN EFFECT STARTING THIS MORNING. WINDS
HAVE PICKED UP ALONG THE RIDGES AND IN SOME FOOTHILL LOCATIONS
WITH GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH THIS MORNING. WINDS ALONG THE HIGHWAY 295
CORRIDOR WILL BE VERY STRONG WITH GUSTS UP TO 70 MPH. GUSTS ARE
ARE EXPECTED TO EXCEED 80 MPH IN WIND PRONE LOCATIONS, WITH
CLOSURES LIKELY ALONG THE HIGHWAY 395/580 CORRIDOR. EKL

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 AM PST THU NOV 29 2012/

SHORT TERM...

..MAJOR STORMS TO AFFECT THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND...

A SERIES OF POWERFUL, WET STORM SYSTEMS ARE SET TO SLAM INTO
NORTHERN CA/NV OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, ASSOCIATED WITH A PLUME
OF DEEP SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE IN THE PACIFIC. THIS "ATMOSPHERIC
RIVER" WILL ACT MUCH LIKE A FIRE HOSE POINTED AT THE WEST COAST,
SPREADING HEAVY PRECIPITATION UP AND DOWN THE SIERRA AND WESTERN
NEVADA. THIS WILL BRING RISES IN OUR AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS, ALONG
WITH POTENTIAL FLOODING BY THE WEEKEND. IN ADDITION TO THE HEAVY
PRECIPITATION, PERIODS OF HIGH WINDS AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOW WILL
ALSO OCCUR. FORECASTER CONFIDENCE REMAINS HIGH WITH RESPECT TO THIS
MAJOR STORM.

THE NEXT STORM IN THE SERIES WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT, INCREASING WINDS ALOFT AND SPREADING
PRECIPITATION INTO THE SIERRA. VALLEY WINDS INCREASE TONIGHT AND
INTO FRIDAY MORNING AS 700MB FLOW REACHES 60-70KT. THE STRONGEST
WINDS WILL AFFECT THE HIGHWAY 395 CORRIDOR FROM RENO TO MAMMOTH
LAKES, ESPECIALLY FRIDAY MORNING AS DOWNSLOPE WIND GUSTS REACH UP TO
70 MPH AT TIMES. WIND PRONE AREAS COULD REACH UP TO 80 MPH.

THESE WINDS MAY BE DAMAGING AT THESE SPEEDS, WITH EXTREME CROSSWINDS
ACROSS NORTH-SOUTH HIGHWAYS SUCH AS HWY 395/I-580. PEAK WIND GUSTS
WILL BE FRIDAY MORNING, AHEAD OF THE MAIN PRECIPITATION. AS THE
PRECIP BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA, THIS WILL
HELP DAMPEN THE WINDS SOMEWHAT. BLOWING DUST WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN
FOR AREAS EAST OF RENO-CARSON CITY.

BY THURSDAY NIGHT, THE MAIN PRECIP WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE
NORTHERN SIERRA, SPREADING INTO THE TAHOE BASIN AND EVENTUALLY SOUTH
INTO MONO COUNTY BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. HYDROLOGIC CONCERNS ARE
ADDRESSED BELOW IN THE HYDROLOGY SECTION, PLEASE SEE FOR ADDITIONAL
DETAILS WITH RAINFALL AMOUNTS AND FLOODING CONCERNS.

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE LAKE TAHOE BASIN
ABOVE 7000 FEET AND MONO COUNTY FOR ELEVATIONS ABOVE 7500 FEET AS
WELL. SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED, GENERALLY ABOVE 7000-7500
FEET THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY DURING THE HEAVIEST PRECIP. DURING
THIS TIME, WE EXPECT 1-3" OF LIQUID IN THE TAHOE BASIN, WITH EVEN
HIGHER AMOUNTS OVER 3" ALONG THE SIERRA CREST. THIS WILL MEAN
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 7000-7500 FEET WILL SEE MULTIPLE FEET OF HEAVY WET
SNOW THROUGH FRIDAY. FOR THE LAKE TAHOE BASIN, WE EXPECT SNOW
AMOUNTS GENERALLY 8-16" BETWEEN 7000-8000 FEET, BUT ELEVATIONS ABOVE
8000 FEET WILL SEE 2-3 FEET OF SIERRA CEMENT THROUGH FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. FURTHER SOUTH INTO MONO COUNTY, 6-12" OF SNOW IS
EXPECTED ABOVE 7500 FEET, MAINLY WEST OF HIGHWAY 395 INCLUDING
MAMMOTH LAKES.

AS FOR RAINFALL IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS, WE COULD SEE UP TO 0.5" OF
RAINFALL IN WESTERN NEVADA FRIDAY AS WE START TO GET GOOD SPILLOVER
INTO THE LEE OF THE SIERRA. BY FRIDAY EVENING, THIS ROUND BEGINS TO
WIND DOWN, WITH PRECIP BECOMING LIGHTER AND SHOWERY FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY. UPSLOPE FLOW INTO THE SIERRA WILL KEEP AT LIGHT
RAIN/SNOW IN THE SIERRA THROUGH SATURDAY BEFORE THE NEXT WAVE MOVES
INTO THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT.  HOON

LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

MODELS REMAIN IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE STRONGEST STORM TO
IMPACT THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.
HIGH CONFIDENCE REMAINS IN A HEAVY RAIN EVENT WITH HIGH SNOW LEVELS
WITH THIS STORM. BRUNT OF THE STORM WILL AFFECT THE AREA FROM 06-21Z
SUNDAY.

SNOW LEVELS WILL RISE ABOVE 8000 FEET BY SATURDAY EVENING AND HOVER
NEAR 9000-9500 FEET THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. THEY WILL THEN CRASH
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT SUNDAY AFTERNOON, BUT THIS WILL BE AS THE
PRECIP ENDS. MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS EVENT CONTINUES TO BE RAIN WITH
SNOW CONFINED TO THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS. SOME SNOW MAY FALL BEHIND
THE FRONT, BUT AMOUNTS WOULD BE A FEW INCHES OR LESS BELOW 8500
FEET.

STRONG WINDS, LIFT AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL MOVE IN BY 06Z SUNDAY
INTO THE SIERRA WITH HEAVY RAINS. THE STRONG LIFT, MOISTURE AND A
WEAKLY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL PROMOTE EXCELLENT SPILLOVER INTO
WESTERN NEVADA WITH HEAVY RAINS EVEN EXTENDING EAST OF THE HWY 395
CORRIDOR AT TIMES. HEAVIEST RAINS EXPECTED NEAR AND NORTH OF HWY 50,
BUT THERE WILL STILL BE HEAVY AMOUNTS FURTHER SOUTH INTO MONO
COUNTY. PLEASE REFER TO THE HYDROLOGY DISCUSSION BELOW FOR QPF
AMOUNTS AS WELL AS THE YOU-TUBE BRIEFING AND FLOOD WATCHES FOR MORE
INFORMATION.

IN ADDITION TO ALL THE RAINFALL, WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG WITH
STRONG GRADIENTS AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT. WIDESPREAD WIND GUSTS TO
45 KTS ARE LIKELY WITH LOCALLY HIGHER GUSTS. WITH SATURATED SOILS,
DOWNED TREES MAY BECOME ANOTHER ISSUE TO DEAL WITH BY SUNDAY MORNING
(SIMILAR TO WHAT OCCURRED AFTER THE RAIN IN THE 2005 FLOOD). WINDS
AT 700 MB ARE 80+ KTS SUNDAY MORNING WHICH WOULD RESULT IN WIND
GUSTS OVER 150 MPH FOR THE SIERRA CREST!

WEAK RIDGING WILL BUILD IN MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH LIGHTER WINDS
ALONG WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND DRY CONDITIONS. MODELS KEEP THE
BRUNT OF THE NEXT WARM STORM TO THE NORTH, BUT DO SAG IT FAR ENOUGH
SOUTH BY WEDNESDAY FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF RAINFALL WITH NIGH SNOW
LEVELS ABOVE 7500 FEET. HOWEVER, AMOUNTS WITH THAT EVENT LOOK MUCH
LIGHTER AT THIS TIME. ONE WORD OF CAUTION, 06Z GFS CAME IN MUCH
WETTER FOR LASSEN COUNTY SO THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED.
WALLMANN

AVIATION...
SCT SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE IN THE SIERRA WITH OCNL MVFR CONDS IN -RA.
WINDS WILL REMAIN BREEZY WITH S-SW WINDS GUSTING TO 35-40 KTS IN THE
SIERRA TO EXTREME WESTERN NV. WITH SIERRA RIDGE WINDS NEAR 60 KTS,
SOME MTN WAVE TURBULENCE AND LLVL WIND SHEAR ESPECIALLY FOR
KTRK/KTVL.

TONIGHT, STRONGEST WINDS ARRIVE WITH PK WING GUSTS TO 45 KTS AROUND
KTVL/KTRK AND 50-55KTS FOR KRNO. STILL EXPECT STRONG SW WINDS ON
RIDGES SO MTN WAVE TURBULENCE WILL CONTINUE AND POSSIBLY BE STRONGER
WITH LLWS NEAR AND JUST EAST OF THE SIERRA. RAIN WILL ALSO INCREASE
ACROSS THE TAHOE BASIN WITH MVFR-IFR CONDS NEAR AIRPORT MINS. SCT
SHOWERS WITH 30-40PCT CHC OF MVFR CONDS AT KRNO/KMMH THRU 12Z
TONIGHT.

STRONG WINDS CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY WITH MORE WIDESPREAD MVFR/IFR
CONDS IN RAIN. A BREAK IN PRECIP FOR WRN NV FRI NIGHT INTO SATURDAY
BUT GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE. STRONGEST STORM STILL ON TRACK FOR
SAT NIGHT/SUNDAY WITH VERY STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN WITH
WIDESPREAD IFR CONDS LIKELY, EVEN INTO WRN NV SUNDAY MORNING.

HYDROLOGY...

THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY, WE EXPECT THE FIRST ROUND OF HEAVY
PRECIPITATION INTO THE SIERRA WITH SNOW LEVELS GENERALLY BETWEEN
7000-7500 FEET. AS FOR PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS, WE EXPECT TO SEE A
BURST OF HEAVY PRECIP FRIDAY, WITH PRECIP AMOUNTS OVER 3 INCHES
ALONG THE SIERRA CREST. FOR THE LAKE TAHOE BASIN AND LASSEN COUNTY,
WE WILL SEE 1-3 INCHES OF RAINFALL, WHICH COULD LEAD TO MINOR
FLOODING OF SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS IN THE EASTERN SIERRA. THIS
FIRST STORM WILL SERVE TO MOISTEN UP THE THE SOILS AND PRIME IT
BEFORE THE NEXT BIG STORM ON SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY.

STRONGEST STORM OF THE SERIES STILL ON TRACK FOR SATURDAY
NIGHT/SUNDAY. ABUNDANT MOISTURE WITH STRONG FORCING WILL MAKE THIS
AN EXCELLENT SPILLOVER EVENT. GFS IS EXTREMELY WET AND MAY BE TOO
WET. HOWEVER, USING IT WITH A BLEND TO THE NAM AND EC, STILL EXPECT
6+ INCHES NEAR THE SIERRA CREST IN THE 24 HOUR PERIOD 00Z SUN TO 00Z
MON. TAHOE BASIN TO WESTERN LASSEN LOOKING LIKE 3-5 INCHES WITH ONLY
SLIGHTLY LIGHTER AMOUNTS INTO THE WESTERN NEVADA FOOTHILLS. WITH
SUCH A STRONG SPILLOVER SIGNATURE, EVEN THE 395 CORRIDOR LIKELY TO
SEE 1-2 INCHES ON THE VALLEY FLOOR WITH LIGHTER AMOUNTS OF 1/4 TO
1/2 INCH OUT TO THE BASIN AND RANGE.

SMALL STREAM AND URBAN FLOODING ISSUES ARE LIKELY GIVEN THE HEAVY
RAINFALL FALLING ON SATURATED SOILS FROM YESTERDAYS AND FRIDAYS
STORMS. MAINSTEM RIVERS ARE A BIT MORE DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY THE
SUSAN WHICH WE HAVE A BIT MORE DIFFICULT TIME FORECASTING QPF FOR.
RIGHT NOW, LATEST INFORMATION WOULD PUT THE SUSAN RIVER JUST BELOW
FLOOD STAGE SUNDAY MORNING. AS FOR THE TRUCKEE, VISTA IS FORECAST TO
HAVE MINOR FLOODING AT THIS TIME, WITH SOME ISSUES POSSIBLE NEAR
TRUCKEE, CA AS WELL. THAT DRAINAGE IS MORE SENSITIVE TO SNOW
LEVELS, BUT IT APPEARS THAT SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH
DURING THE EVENT. DAY SHIFT WILL BE EVALUATING THE TRUCKEE AND SUSAN
RIVERS MORE CLOSELY.

CONTINUING WITH RIVER FLOOD WATCH FOR THE TRUCKEE AT VISTA (SPARKS)
WITH MINOR FLOODING POSSIBLE THERE. WILL ALSO CONTINUE THE AREAL
FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL THE SMALLER STREAMS IN THE SIERRA FROM
BRIDGEPORT, CA NORTH TO LASSEN COUNTY AND INTO EXTREME WESTERN
NEVADA. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTIES WITH QPF AMOUNTS AND SNOW LEVELS,
BUT CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER, ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO SNOW LEVEL THAN
12-24 HOURS AGO. WALLMANN/HOON
