...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1045 PM PDT FOR
SOUTHEASTERN PLUMAS AND CENTRAL SIERRA COUNTIES...

AT 842 PM PDT...RADAR SHOWED THUNDERSTORMS WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY 
RAINFALL CONTINUING IN THE AREA NEAR SIERRAVILLE AND CALPINE ALONG 
HIGHWAY 89. A TRAINED WEATHER SPOTTER REPORTED NEARLY AN INCH OF 
RAIN IN A HALF HOUR AND HAIL THE SIZE OF QUARTERS AROUND 815 PM.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL 
CREEKS AND STREAMS...COUNTRY ROADS...AS WELL AS RANCHLAND ALONG THE 
BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. A FEW INCHES OF FAST FLOWING WATER IS
POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
622 PM PDT WED JUL 3 2013

.UPDATE...
LATEST RADAR IMAGERY CONTINUED TO SHOW TWO PRIMARY AREAS OF
CONVECTION, ONE BEING SPARKED ALONG THE EASTERN SIERRA FROM MONO
LAKE NORTHWARD INTO THE WEST SIDE OF THE TAHOE BASIN AND THE
SECOND ALONG CONVERGENCE ZONE FROM LASSEN INTO NORTHERN WASHOE
COUNTY. STORMS HAVE BEEN HEAVY RAIN PRODUCERS WITH RADAR
ESTIMATING 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS. 18Z NAM
AND LATEST MESOSCALE MODEL DATA SUGGEST SHORTWAVE WILL KEEP
CONVECTION GOING THROUGH THE EVENING WITH ACTIVITY SPREADING
NORTHWARD INTO WESTERN NV AND MERGING WITH CELLS ALONG THE
NORTHERN BAND OF STORMS WHICH ARE PROPAGATING SOUTHEASTWARD IN
ADVANCE OF SHORTWAVE. THERE HAS BEEN AN RELATIVELY STRONG NORTH
GRADIENT OVER THE BASIN AND RANGE INTO THE RENO AREA FOR MUCH OF
THE LATE AFTERNOON AND MODELS SHOW THIS WEAKENING THIS EVENING AND
ALLOWING FOR OUTFLOW TO PUSH OUT TO THE EAST THROUGH 9 PM. SO WILL
CONTINUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO EXPIRATION AS SLOW MOVING STORMS
WILL STILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING FLASH FLOODING. HOHMANN

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 230 PM PDT WED JUL 3 2013/

SYNOPSIS...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PRODUCE ONE MORE DAY OF RECORD HEAT BEFORE
TEMPERATURES DECREASE THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. ABUNDANT
MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN,
STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING THROUGH INDEPENDENCE
DAY. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL DIMINISH FRIDAY AND BE LIMITED
MAINLY TO WEST CENTRAL NEVADA AND MONO COUNTY OVER THE WEEKEND.

SHORT TERM...

THUNDERSTORMS ARE INITIATING A LITTLE LATER THAN PREVIOUSLY
ANTICIPATED. IT IS SUSPECTED THAT SUBSIDENCE BEHIND YESTERDAY'S
MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE VORTEX AND AN EXTENSION OF THE RIDGE AXIS ARE
SUPPRESSING EARLY AFTERNOON CLOUD DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER, STILL
EXPECT SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS ANOTHER DISTURBANCE ROTATES AROUND THE
WESTERN PERIPHERY OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER WESTERN NEVADA AND
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. MODERATE AND ENHANCED CUMULI HAVE FORMED IN
MONO COUNTY AND WILL SPREAD NORTH.

CONVECTIVE MODE AND STORM EVOLUTION...THERE WERE SEVERAL THINGS TO
NOTE IN THE MORNING SOUNDING. FIRST, THERE WAS A 500MB DRY SLOT
THAT WILL ALLOW INITIAL OUTFLOW WINDS TO APPROACH SEVERE.
SECONDLY, PRECIPITABLE WATER WAS 0.85" WITH SLOW STORM LEVEL
WINDS. THIS WILL CAUSE STORMS TO RAPIDLY EVOLVE INTO HEAVY RAIN
PRODUCERS AND FLASH FLOODING WILL AGAIN BE A CONCERN. A FLASH
FLOOD ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND FROM WASHOE TO DOUGLAS COUNTY. ANOTHER HEAVY RAIN
RELATED CONCERN WILL BE FOR AREAS THAT RECEIVED HEAVY RAIN
YESTERDAY IN THE SIERRA; THESE AREA WILL BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO
MUD SLIDES THIS AFTERNOON. FINALLY, OUTFLOWS FROM STORMS, MAINLY
EAST OF HIGHWAY 95, HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO KICK UP DUST WHICH COULD
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE VISIBILITY OVER VULNERABLE TRAVEL CORRIDORS
LIKE I-80 NEAR LOVELOCK.

THUNDERSTORMS DIMINISH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. CLOUD COVER MAY LINGER
KEEPING LOW TEMPERATURES A LITTLE WARMER OVER 70 DEGREES IN
WESTERN NEVADA VALLEYS. AS THINGS HEAT UP AGAIN THURSDAY,
THUNDERSTORMS WILL FIRE AGAIN. THESE STORMS WILL START OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN MONO COUNTY TO THE TAHOE BASIN. ACTIVITY SPREADS
NORTHEAST AS AN UPPER TROUGH DROPS OUT OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.
STORM MOTIONS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE LATER IN THE DAY CAUSING GUSTY
WINDS TO BE A CONCERN. TROUGHING CONTINUES TO DEEPEN SHUNTING THE
MAIN CONVERGENT ZONE FARTHER EAST INTO CENTRAL NEVADA BY FRIDAY.
CONTINUE TO HAVE SLIGHT CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE EASTERN
ZONES FRIDAY AFTERNOON, BUT EXTENSIVE THREAT WILL BE OVER FOR THE
SIERRA AND SIERRA FRONT. AS WINDS BECOME BREEZY FRIDAY, TEMPERATURES
COOL INTO THE MID/UPPER 90S FOR WESTERN NEVADA VALLEYS.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

SYNOPTIC SCALE SURFACE CONVERGENCE SHIFTS INTO CENTRAL NEVADA BY
SATURDAY AS WEAK TROUGHING SETTLES OVER THE PACIFIC COAST. THIS
WILL RESULT IN DRYING FLOW THAT WILL SCOUR OUT DEEPER MOISTURE
THAT HAS FUELED AFTERNOON CONVECTION THIS WEEK. SOME SLIGHT
CHANCES REMAIN SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AFTERNOON FROM EASTERN PORTIONS
OF PERSHING/CHURCHILL COUNTIES THROUGH MINERAL COUNTY INTO
SOUTHERN MONO COUNTY. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO DROP SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY INTO THE LOW/MID 90S FOR WESTERN NEVADA VALLEYS AND
UPPER 60S TO AROUND 80 IN THE SIERRA.

RIDGING BEGINS TO INCREASE MONDAY ONWARD. TEMPERATURES WILL TREND
BACK INTO THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100 IN WESTERN NEVADA BY TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER, FLOW CONTINUES TO BE DRY, AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT A CONCERN AT THIS TIME THROUGH MID WEEK. BOYD

AVIATION...

CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IS THE PRIMARY CONCERN AGAIN TODAY. STORMS
HAVE STARTED TO DEVELOP OVER MONO AND MINERAL COUNTIES EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. A DISTURBANCE IS MOVING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AROUND THE
WESTERN EDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE. THIS WILL CAUSE THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY TO SPREAD NORTHWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON INTO THE
EVENING HOURS. GUSTS FROM THESE STORMS WILL GENERALLY BE AROUND 45
MPH, AND MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY SMALL HAIL. ALSO, WITH THE AMOUNT
OF MOISTURE PRESENT IN THE ATMOSPHERE, PERIODS OF IFR/LIFR DUE TO
HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE SHOULD ONE OF THESE STORMS MOVE OVER
ANY OF THE TERMINALS. VISIBILITY MAY ALSO BE REDUCED BY BLOWING
DUST, ESPECIALLY FOR TERMINALS EAST OF HIGHWAY 95. CONVECTIVE
TURBULENCE AND LIGHTNING WILL ALSO BE A DANGER TO AIRCRAFT NEAR
TSTMS TODAY.

FOR THURSDAY TSTMS SHOULD DEVELOP AGAIN BUT THEY SHOULD BE MOVING A
BIT FASTER THAN TODAY. THIS COULD LEAD TO ORGANIZED AREAS OF STRONG
GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL. WHILE BRIEF HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE THURSDAY,
IT SHOULD BE LESS WIDESPREAD THAN TODAY. BOYD

FIRE WEATHER...

SLOW MOVING WET THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING.
GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS OVER 50 MPH AND HAIL ARE ALSO THREATS THIS
EVENING.

FOR TOMORROW A WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SIERRA AS
THE RIDGE STARTS TO BREAK DOWN.  THIS WILL ALLOW STORMS TO MOVE AT
10-15 MPH, BUT WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN PLACE STORMS WILL CONTINUE
TO PRODUCE WETTING RAINS WITH ONLY A FEW DRY STRIKES AWAY FROM RAIN
CORES. STORMS WILL INITIALLY FIRE ALONG THE SIERRA CREST NORTHWARD
TO WESTERN LASSEN COUNTY THEN PUSH EAST INTO WESTERN NEVADA BY MID
TO LATE AFTERNOON.  AGAIN MAIN THREATS ARE GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS, HAIL
AND HEAVY RAIN.

BY FRIDAY THE WEST FLOW ALOFT INCREASES WITH AREAS NORTH OF
MARKLEEVILLE TO FALLON STARTING TO DRY OUT.  ZEPHYR WINDS WILL
RETURN TO THE SIERRA FRONT AND NORTHWEST NEVADA WITH PEAK GUSTS
FRIDAY AFTERNOON NEAR 30 MPH WITH MINIMUM HUMIDITY FALLING TO NEAR
15%. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON EAST OF
A LINE FROM GERLACH TO BRIDGEPORT.

FOR THE REST OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND, DRY CONDITIONS WITH THE TYPICAL
AFTERNOON WINDS NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50.  SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 50, THE FLOW
ALOFT IS A BIT MORE SOUTHERLY WILL WILL HELP KEEP SOME MOISTURE IN
PLACE FOR A LOW CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH OF BRIDGEPORT TO
FALLON.  BRONG
