AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
322 AM PDT MON JUL 15 2013

ADDED FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW.

.SYNOPSIS...

A DRY AND WARM PATTERN WILL BE IN PLACE THROUGH THE UPCOMING
WEEK. BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM PUSHES THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THEREAFTER,
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE WEST. THIS WILL RESULT IN STEADILY
RISING TEMPERATURES WITH TRIPLE DIGITS POSSIBLE FOR WESTERN NEVADA
BY NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM...

VERY FEW CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE PRECEDING FORECAST WHICH
CONTINUES TO VERIFY WELL. MODELS HAVE BEEN VERY CONSISTENT FROM
ONE RUN TO ANOTHER WITH THE CURRENT WEATHER PATTERN. HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS FIRMLY IN PLACE OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES WITH
LOW PRESSURE OFF THE PACIFIC COAST. TUESDAY, LOW PRESSURE WILL
MOVE ONSHORE COMPOUNDING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND WESTERN NEVADA BEFORE TRACKING NORTHWARD AROUND THE
UPPER HIGH. THIS WILL RESULT IN A CONTINUATION OF DRY CONDITIONS
WITH SOUTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY FLOW AND BREEZY WINDS FOR
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WITH THE LOW'S TRACK, HOWEVER, THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL NOT BE IN A FAVORABLE ORIENTATION TO CAUSE VERY
WIDESPREAD BREEZY WINDS. EXTREME NORTHWESTERN NEVADA AND EXTREME
NORTHEASTERN CALIFORNIA ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS PATTERN AND
WILL LIKELY ACHIEVE CRITICAL VALUES CONCERNING FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS WITH GUSTS AROUND 35 MPH AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY LESS
THAN 15%. FOR AREAS SOUTH OF I-80 WINDS WILL BE A LITTLE SLOWER
WITH GUSTS IN THE 20-30 MPH RANGE.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE REST OF THE
WEEK AS AN EXTENSION OF THE RIDGE BUILDS OVER NEVADA. WINDS RETURN
TO TYPICAL ZEPHYR SPEEDS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. TEMPERATURES WILL
BEGIN TO TREND BACK INTO THE MID/UPPER 90S FOR MANY WESTERN NEVADA
VALLEYS BY WEDNESDAY. BOYD

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN WITH
RIDGE OVER UTAH TRACKING EAST OVER NEVADA FOR THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL
LEAD TO HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WITH POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS BY
THE WEEKEND.

AFTERNOON HIGHS ACROSS THE WESTERN NEVADA VALLEYS WILL CLIMB TO THE
UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100 BY FRIDAY, AND MAY EXCEED 100 IN THE
RENO-CARSON AREA FOR THE WEEKEND. IN THE SIERRA VALLEYS, HIGHS WILL
CLIMB INTO THE 80S TO LOW 90S BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

MODELS ARE DEVELOPING A BIT MORE INSTABILITY FOR THE WEEKEND WITH
THE BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 50. A FEW RUNS
ARE HINTING AT THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING AS FAR NORTH AS RENO-TAHOE
FOR SUNDAY. WITH THE HOT CONDITIONS THE INITIAL THREATS FROM
THUNDERSTORMS ARE DRY STRIKES AND STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS. BRONG

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR CONDITIONS THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WITH A DRY AND STABLE SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA. WINDS WILL FALL
INTO A TYPICAL SUMMER TIME PATTERN WITH PEAK GUSTS 20-25 KTS.

WINDS COULD BE A BIT STRONGER, GUSTS NEAR 30 KTS, FOR TUESDAY WITH A
LOW PASSING THROUGH NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA. BRONG

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

MAIN CONCERN IS THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FORECAST TO TRACK
NORTHWARD ALONG THE WEST COAST WITH A JET PASSING OVER NORTHEAST
CALIFORNIA AND NORTHWEST NEVADA ON TUESDAY. THIS WILL PRODUCE THE
BEST CHANCE FOR CRITICAL CONDITIONS OVER EASTERN LASSEN, NORTHERN
WASHOE AND THE SURPRISE VALLEY. GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH ARE POSSIBLE
STARTING BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH VERY LOW HUMIDITY.

FARTHER SOUTH IN THE TAHOE BASIN AND SIERRA FRONT, GUSTS 30-35 MPH
ARE POSSIBLE, BUT THE JET IS PROBABLY A BIT TOO FAR AWAY TO
PROVIDE ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR A SUSTAINED WIND EVENT.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER NEVADA FOR BY LATE IN THE WEEK, WITH
AFTERNOON HIGHS NEAR 100 IN THE LOWER VALLEYS AND 80S TO LOW 90 IN
THE SIERRA. THUNDERSTORMS MAY START TO BUILD BY THE WEEKEND SOUTH
OF HIGHWAY 50, BUT COULD SPREAD AS FAR NORTH AS RENO-TAHOE. DRY
SURFACE CONDITIONS, HOT TEMPERATURES WILL LEAD TO HIGH BASED AND
POTENTIALLY DRY THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS.  BRONG
