AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV

CORRECTED ADVISORY INFORMATION

.SYNOPSIS...

A STRONG COLD FRONT IS PASSING THROUGH NORTHEASTERN CALIFORNIA AND
NORTHWESTERN NEVADA EARLY THIS MORNING BRINGING GUSTY NORTHWEST
WINDS AND SCATTERED SHOWERS. COOL AND BREEZY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE
WITH ANOTHER COLD FRONT POSSIBLE MONDAY MORNING. A WARMING AND
DRYING TREND IS ON TAP FOR THE MIDDLE AND END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
COLD NORTH WINDS REMAIN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THAT PASSED THROUGH
THIS MORNING. A FEW SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE ACROSS WESTERN NEVADA
BUT THESE SHOULD DIMINISH RAPIDLY AS TEMPS ALOFT WARM AND WE LOSE
SOLAR HEATING. GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT ON THE
RIDGES WITH 700 MB WINDS FROM THE N-NE, A SUPPORTIVE SURFACE
GRADIENT AND COLD AIR ADVECTION. AS IS TYPICAL FOR NORTHEAST
WINDS, THEY WILL BE STRONGEST ON THE RIDGES AND OVER LAKE TAHOE.
AS A RESULT, HAVE ISSUED A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS INTO SUNDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A FEW DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL TONIGHT AS WELL.

SUNDAY WE WILL BE UNDER A SHORT WAVE RIDGE AHEAD OF THE NEXT
SLIDER FOR MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND SLIGHTLY, BUT MORE SO
IN THE SIERRA DUE TO INVERSIONS FORMING IN THE VALLEYS AND THE
RAPID WARMING ALOFT.

CLOUDS WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF THE SLIDER SUNDAY NIGHT WHICH WILL
KEEP OVERNIGHT LOWS SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN TONIGHT NORTH OF HIGHWAY
50. THE MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK OF
THE SLIDER. NOW THEY HAVE IT JUST SKIRTING THE OREGON BORDER WITH
LITTLE IMPACT FURTHER SOUTH. WINDS WILL INCREASE A BIT MONDAY IN
ASSOCIATION WITH IT AND AS A RESULT TEMPERATURES WILL WARM NICELY
WITH GOOD MIXING. ANY SHOWERS WILL LIKELY BE CONFINED TO THE
OREGON BORDER CLOSE TO THE COLD FRONT.

THE COLD FRONT DOES SLIP SOUTH ENOUGH TO FILTER IN SOME COOLER AIR
FOR TUESDAY. STILL, IT DOES NOT LOOK ANOMALOUSLY COLD WITH TEMPS
ONLY A FEW DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE. WINDS WILL ALSO BE LIGHT TUESDAY
WITH ANOTHER SHORT WAVE RIDGE OVERHEAD. WALLMANN

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
VERY LITTLE HAS CHANGED AMONGST MODELS CONCERNING THE OUTLOOK
FROM MIDWEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND. ONLY VERY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS WERE
MADE TO THE FORECAST. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE FIRMLY IN PLACE
BUILDING OVER THE WEST COAST. A COUPLE OF WEAK SYSTEMS WILL
APPROACH NORTHERN CALIFORNIA/WESTERN NEVADA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
HOWEVER, IT IS VERY UNLIKELY THAT THE RIDGE WILL BREAK DOWN SINCE
THE JET STREAM IS DISPLACED WELL NORTH INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA AND
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THIS WILL KEEP THE STORM TRACK DEFLECTED
WELL OUTSIDE OF NORTHERN CA/WESTERN NV. LONG RANGE MODELS DO SHOW
THE BEGINNINGS OF A TRANSITION TO A MORE ACTIVE PATTERN AROUND
MARCH 4TH.

TEMPERATURES TREND WARMER FROM MIDWEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND STARTING
AROUND CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS AND INCREASING ABOVE NORMAL FRIDAY
INTO SATURDAY. GENERALLY, HIGHS WILL INCREASE FROM THE LOW 50S TO
LOW 60S IN WESTERN NEVADA VALLEYS AND FROM UPPER 30S TO UPPER
40S/LOW 50S IN THE SIERRA BY THE END OF THE WEEK. LOWS WILL ALSO
TREND WARMER FROM THE UPPER TEENS IN THE SIERRA AND LOW 20S IN
WESTERN NEVADA TO THE LOW 20S TO LOW 30S RESPECTIVELY. BOYD

&&

.AVIATION...
LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS LINGER SOUTH OF THE TAHOE BASIN FOR THE FIRST
FEW HOUR OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. HOWEVER, DRY AIR AND INCREASING
SUBSIDENCE ASSOCIATED WITH BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE WILL RAPIDLY
ERODE CLOUD COVER THIS EVENING. IN GENERAL, NORTHERLY WINDS WILL
ALSO SLOW THROUGH THE EVENING AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS.
MIXING ALONG LAKE TAHOE WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO KEEP FASTER WINDS AT
KTVL OVERNIGHT WITH GUSTS IN THE MID TEENS TO AROUND 20 KNOTS.
RIDGE WINDS BECOME EASTERLY AND MAY REACH 40-50 KNOTS; CONTINUE TO
ANTICIPATE LOW LEVEL TURBULENCE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SIERRA.

ELSEWHERE, NORTHERLY WINDS BECOME LIGHT TO CALM OVERNIGHT. VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. THE NEXT CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR MONDAY AS WEAK LOW PRESSURE SKIRTS OUR
NORTHERN ZONES MAINLY TO THE NORTH OF KSVE. LOCATIONS SOUTH OF
SUSANVILLE WILL REMAIN VFR BUT WILL SEE AN INCREASE OF MID CLOUDS.
