AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
614 AM PST FRI NOV 15 2013

.SYNOPSIS...SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE TAPERING OFF TODAY. THEN AFTER A
BRIEF BREAK...A SECOND STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF
THE WHITE STUFF TO NORTHERN NEVADA LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.
DRIER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

&&

.UPDATE...REFRESHED ZONE FORECAST PACKAGE TO ACCOMMODATE SHOWER
ACTIVITY SHIFTING FURTHER EAST THIS MORNING. MAINLY REMOVED
MENTION OF SHOWERS FROM HUMBOLDT AND NORTHWEST ELKO COUNTIES.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED AT 238 AM /

SYNOPSIS...SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE TAPERING OFF TODAY. THEN AFTER A
BRIEF BREAK...A SECOND STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF
THE WHITE STUFF TO NORTHERN NEVADA LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.
DRIER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY. IR SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS
CLOUDINESS MAINLY CONFINED TO NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50. RADAR INDICATES
A COUPLE OF DEFINED BANDS OF PRECIPITATION OVER NORTHERN NEVADA.
THE LEADING BAND NOW STRETCHES FROM EUREKA TO EAST OF THE RUBY
MOUNTAINS. A SECONDARY BAND STRETCHES ALL ALONG INTERSTATE 80 FROM
WINNEMUCCA TO DEETH...WITH A DRY SLOT SOUTH OF ELKO AT THIS TIME.
THE BACK EDGE OF THIS BAND IS EXITING THE WINNEMUCCA AREA NOW AND
ELKO SHOULD CONTINUE TO RECEIVE SNOW THROUGH DAYBREAK. AS OF 1 AM
PST...AIR TEMPERATURES AND ROADWAY TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE FREEZING
FOR THE MOST PART IN NORTHERN NEVADA. THE MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD
AGREEMENT FOR THE SHORT TERM.

TODAY. SHOWERS WILL BE TAPERING OFF TODAY. BY NOON TODAY...THE
SHORTWAVE AXIS WILL BE EAST OF ELKO AND SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO
RAPIDLY TAPER OFF ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA AND THE FOCUS THIS
AFTERNOON WILL BE WHITE PINE COUNTY. EXPECT A COUPLE INCHES OF
SNOW ACCUMULATION AT ANY GIVEN VALLEY LOCATION AS THIS LOW FEATURE
WORKS ITS WAY THROUGH THE AREA. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM
THE MID 30S TO THE MID 40S.

THIS EVENING. THIS SHOULD BE A BREAK IN THE ACTION AS A MEAN
TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. THE FLOW WILL BECOME EVEN
MORE NORTHERLY AND QUICKER AS A VERY SUBTLE SHORTWAVE RIDGE BLOWS
THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN.

MIDNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. A MORE POTENT SHORTWAVE WILL
MOVE INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND PRECIPITATION OUT AHEAD OF
THIS WAVE WILL BEGIN AFFECTING NORTHERN NEVADA AROUND MIDNIGHT.
SHOWERS SHOULD HOLD MAINLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80 THROUGH DAYBREAK
SATURDAY. AT PRESENT...IT IS DIFFICULT TO ACTUALLY DEFINE A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...HOWEVER A 120KT JET WILL SKIP ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA.
WIND GUSTS WILL BE IN THE 40S ACROSS ELKO COUNTY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW WILL CREATE A HAZARD. THE
GREATEST IMPACT WILL BE FELT IN ELKO COUNTY...ESPECIALLY NORTHERN
ELKO COUNTY WITH THE HIGHER TERRAIN...AND THE RUBY MOUNTAINS. UP
TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE ACROSS VALLEYS OF NORTHERN ELKO
COUNTY...WITH AROUND AN INCH EXPECTED IN THE ELKO AREA. 6000 FEET
ELEVATIONS COULD RECEIVE 3 TO 5 INCHES OF SNOW AND THE RUBY
MOUNTAINS WILL ACCUMULATE A FEW INCHES MORE THAN THAT. THE IMPACTS
FROM THIS STORM WILL LIKELY END BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH SOME
LINGERING SHOWERS OVERNIGHT. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 30S
TO THE MID 40S. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 20S.

SUNDAY. THERE MAY BE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS OVER EXTREME NORTHEAST
ELKO COUNTY IN THE MORNING BUT BY AFTERNOON...SUNSHINE SHOULD BE
MORE ABUNDANT. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 30S TO
THE MID 40S.

LONG TERM...A COLD AND PROGRESSIVE PATTERN WILL BE ON TAP. THE
FORECAST PERIOD COMMENCES WITH THE GFS AND THE ECMWF IN RELATIVELY
GOOD AGREEMENT AT 500MB DEPICTING NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE LKN
CWA...THAT IS TRANSITIONING TO A MORE ZONAL ORIENTATION/BROAD
ANTI-CYCLONIC REGIME...RESULTING IN DRY CONDITIONS MONDAY AND
TUESDAY. AS TIME ELAPSES...DIFFLUENT ONSHORE FLOW WILL IMPACT THE
WEST AND JUSTIFIED BUMPING UP POPS FOR WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER THE NCEP
RMOP BY F120 IS LESS THAN 30 PERCENT ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN AND
DOES NOT SHOW MUCH SIGN OF IMPROVEMENT UNTIL F192. GENERALLY
SPEAKING...THE PAST SEVERAL NIGHTS THE MODELS HAVE CONTINUED TO
PROG A SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO THE REGION...BUT TIMING AND STRENGTH
ISSUES PERSIST. GENERALLY WITH ENHANCED UPWARD VERTICAL VELOCITIES
COINCIDENT WITH PWS OVER .40 OF AN INCH. P-TYPE AND SENSIBLE
WEATHER-WISE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS
WITH RAIN IN THE VALLEYS AND SNOW ON THE MT TOPS.

AVIATION...A FAST MOVING FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO BARREL INTO
NORTHERN NEVADA BRINGING A WINTRY MIX TO THE SILVER
STATE....COMPLETE WITH REDUCED CIGS AND VSBY. IFR AND MVFR
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE FOR KEKO AND KELY.  EXPECT OBSCURED MT TOPS.
TRACE TO LIGHT ICING PROBABLE...MODERATE ICING POSSIBLE. EXPECTING
THE PRECIPITATION ACTIVITY TO TAPER OFF FROM THE WEST TO
EAST...BEGINNING WITH KWMC 12Z TO 13Z AND CLEARING KEKO BETWEEN 14Z TO
16Z.  KTPH WILL REMAIN DRY AND EXPECTING VFR CONDITIONS AT KTPH FOR
THE 24 HR PERIOD.

.LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
