AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
848 AM PDT TUE JUN 11 2013

SYNOPSIS...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...ALONG
WITH GUSTY WINDS...WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH AFTERNOON THROUGH
THURSDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO GRADUALLY LOWER TO NORMAL
LEVELS BY THURSDAY. DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY ON THROUGH
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER UPDATE...EXPECT LOWER DEWPOINTS AND DECREASING
PWATS THIS AFTERNOON SO INTRODUCED DRY THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE
FORECAST MAINLY FOR ELEVATIONS BELOW 7500 FEET...A FEW STORMS WILL
BE WET IN THE VALLEYS BUT DUE TO LOWERING MOISTURE AND 25 TO 30 KT
STORM MOTIONS MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE DRY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED AT 337 AM /

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A CENTER OF LOW PRESSURE
MOVED OVER THE REGION OVERNIGHT TO BRING INCREASED MOISTURE. THE
LOW WILL EJECT OFF TO THE NORTHEAST TODAY...LEAVING WEAK TO
MODERATE INSTABILITY IN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE
CWA...RESULTING IN SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. WHILE AN
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING...BEST CHANCES
FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS
OVER MAINLY CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEVADA. A 50 TO 60KT JET OVER THE
REGION TODAY WILL LEAD TO GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS FROM THE LATE
MORNING THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. AIR MASS STABILIZES
SOMEWHAT TONIGHT...HOWEVER COULD SEE SOME RAIN SHOWERS. BY LATE
WEDNESDAY MORNING INSTABILITY INCREASES ONCE AGAIN OVER NORTHERN
AND EAST-CENTRAL NEVADA FOR THE THREAT OF MORE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY
GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM. AN UPPER
LEVEL LOW WILL BE POSITIONED ACROSS OREGON AND WASHINGTON
STATE...WITH A COLD FRONT CLIPPING PARTS OF NORTHERN NEVADA ON
THURSDAY. THIS WILL INCREASE PRECIP CHANCES AND THERE COULD BE
SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA...MAINLY NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 80. INSTABILITY DOES NOT LOOK GREAT...BUT AT LEAST SOME
CHANCE FOR ISOLATED STRIKES WILL BE POSSIBLE. IT APPEARS THESE
STORMS COULD BE DRY IN NATURE GIVEN LACK OF SUFFICIENT MOISTURE.
CENTRAL NEVADA SHOULD REMAIN DRY...WITH GUSTY SW WINDS AHEAD OF
THE BOUNDARY. AFTER THURSDAY...NEVADA SHOULD REMAIN DRY THROUGH
THE LONG TERM. ON FRIDAY...A SHORTWAVE RIDGE WILL QUICKLY MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA...BEFORE ANOTHER TROUGH DIGS OFF THE CA COAST
INTO SATURDAY. THIS WILL PLACE LKN CWA IN BROAD SW FLOW...WITH
INCREASING TEMPS AND DECREASING MOISTURE VALUES. WINDS WILL BE
QUITE GUSTY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA.
JRM

AVIATION...AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL RESULT IN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON.
LOCALIZED OUTFLOW WINDS CREATED FROM THESE STORMS WILL REACH 45 TO
55 MPH. IN ADDITION...BLOWING DUST WILL HELP REDUCE VISIBILITIES AT
THE KWMC/KEKO TERMINALS.

FIRE WEATHER...MOISTURE INCREASED FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS NEVADA
OVERNIGHT...AND WILL COMBINE WITH AN UNSTABLE AIR MASS TODAY TO
PRODUCE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. BEST CHANCES WILL BE ACROSS
CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN NEVADA. GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE
ALSO EXPECTED OVER MOST OF THE REGION TODAY. WINDS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SUBSIDE THIS EVENING.
