AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
618 AM PDT MON JUL 29 2013

.FIRE WEATHER...
AFTER LOOKING AT THE MORNING SOUNDING AND TRENDS OVER YESTERDAY,
HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE A RED FLAG WARNING FOR ZONES 450 AND 458 IN
WESTERN NEVADA. SLIDE MOUNTAIN IS STILL BLOWING FORM THE SOUTHWEST
AROUND 20 MPH THIS MORNING AND THE SAC-RNO PRESSURE GRADIENT IS
FLAT VS. NEGATIVE YESTERDAY MORNING. WITH A DRY SLOT NOW WORKING
INTO THE SIERRA, EXPECT RH TO DROP TO AROUND 10% THIS AFTERNOON
FOR MANY AREAS NORTH OF HWY 50. WITH WINDS TO BE SLIGHTLY STRONGER
THAN YESTERDAY, THAT SHOULD PUT 450 AND 458 OVER THE TOP AS
YESTERDAY WAS VERY CLOSE WITH THE WINDS. EXPECT GUSTS 30-35 MPH IN
THOSE ZONES FOR 3-6 HOURS TODAY. OTHER ZONES LIKE 278/271/453/273 WILL
SEE A FEW LOCALIZED GUSTS OVER 30 MPH, BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK
WIDESPREAD.

THE WIND EVENT ORIGINALLY ADVERTISED FOR WEDNESDAY NOW APPEARS A
DAY LATER. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT CLEAR CUT AS ONE MODEL BRINGS THE
STRONGEST WINDS OVERNIGHT WHICH WOULD MITIGATE THE THREAT
SOMEWHAT. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS EVENT. WALLMANN

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 225 AM PDT MON JUL 29 2013/

SYNOPSIS...
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN IN EASTERN MONO AND MINERAL
COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, OTHERWISE DRY CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL THIS WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN NORMAL.
AFTERNOON AND EVENING BREEZES ARE EXPECTED THIS WEEK, WITH THE
BEST POTENTIAL FOR WIND GUSTS EXCEEDING 30 MPH ON WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY.

SHORT TERM...
SMOKE FROM THE ASPEN FIRE IN FRESNO COUNTY HAS WORSENED VISIBILITY
AND AIR QUALITY AROUND MAMMOTH LAKES AGAIN TONIGHT BASED ON WEB
CAMERA IMAGES AND SPOTTER REPORTS. KMMH DROPPED TO 5 SM AND HAS
REPORTED CEILINGS AROUND 3000-3500 FT AGL DUE TO THIS SMOKE. THIS
FIRE IS LIKELY TO BURN ACTIVELY AGAIN TODAY AND POSSIBLY FOR A
FEW MORE DAYS, WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT CONTINUING TO SEND SMOKE
OVER SIMILAR LOCATIONS. WILL CARRY MENTION OF SMOKE SOUTH OF MONO
LAKE INTO TUESDAY NIGHT FOR NOW.

THE WEAK UPPER LOW OFF THE CA COAST WHICH HAS PRODUCED
THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS WILL FINALLY EJECT INLAND AS
IT WEAKENS TODAY. WHILE THE BEST INSTABILITY AND FORCING IS
EXPECTED OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN NV, SOME LINGERING INSTABILITY
IS STILL INDICATED OVER EASTERN MINERAL AND MONO COUNTIES AND THE
FAR SOUTHEAST CORNER OF CHURCHILL COUNTY SO THE MENTION OF
ISOLATED THUNDER WILL BE MAINTAINED. ALTHOUGH LOSS OF DAYTIME
HEATING SHOULD LEAD TO DIMINISHING ACTIVITY, THE PAST FEW EVENINGS
HAVE SEEN OUTFLOW INTERACTIONS TRIGGER ADDITIONAL CELL DEVELOPMENT
SEVERAL HOURS AFTER SUNSET.

AWAY FROM THIS LINGERING AREA OF INSTABILITY, THE MAIN WEATHER
HIGHLIGHTS WILL BE INCREASING WINDS AND DECREASING HUMIDITY DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE WEAK SHORTWAVE PASSAGE ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST US THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE AFTERNOON ZEPHYR IS PROJECTED
TO OCCUR AROUND 06Z, WHICH IS A BIT LATER THAN OPTIMAL FOR
PRODUCING A SOLID LAKE WIND EVENT. WHILE SOME LOCALLY CHOPPY
CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON AREA LAKES NORTH OF I-80, THE GUSTS
WOULD BE REACHING THEIR PEAK NEAR AND AFTER SUNSET WHEN MOST
LAKES ARE CLOSED FOR BOATING ACTIVITY.

DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS
LOW PRESSURE SETS UP OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST. AT THIS
TIME, A TYPICAL ZEPHYR BREEZE IS EXPECTED FOR TUESDAY AS
SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROTATING AROUND THE MAIN LOW IS MORE LIKELY TO
REMAIN NEAR OR OFF THE COAST. FOR WEDNESDAY, THE WINDS SHOULD
INCREASE AGAIN AS THE LOW EDGES CLOSER TO THE COAST, ALTHOUGH THE
LATEST GFS AND ECMWF ARE A BIT SLOWER WITH THE WIND INCREASE AND
FAVOR THURSDAY FOR THE STRONGEST WINDS THIS WEEK. BASED ON THIS
LATEST GUIDANCE TREND, WILL LOWER THE WIND GUSTS A BIT FOR
WEDNESDAY, DOWN TO THE 30-35 MPH RANGE.

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO COOL A FEW DEGREES TODAY AND REMAIN
NEARLY STEADY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, EXCEPT FOR A BIT MORE COOLING
REACHING NERN CA-NWRN NV BY WEDNESDAY. HIGHS IN MOST WESTERN NV
VALLEYS SHOULD RANGE FROM THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S, WITH UPPER
70S TO LOWER 80S FOR THE SIERRA VALLEYS. MIN TEMPS MAINLY IN THE
50S ARE EXPECTED, WITH COOLER SIERRA VALLEYS DROPPING INTO THE
MID-UPPER 30S. MJD

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
MODELS CONTINUE THE TREND OF SLOWING THE TROUGH FOR THE MIDDLE OF
THE WEEK AND NOW HIT THE STRONGEST WINDS THURSDAY. HAVE INCREASED
THE WINDS A BIT THURSDAY WITH A DRY SLOT MOVING IN AS WELL. FIRE
WX WOULD BE THE MAIN CONCERNS WITH THIS EVENT WITH PEAK GUSTS TO
40 MPH. STILL, MODELS DIFFER ENOUGH ON TIMING THAT IT IS NOT A
SLAM DUNK YET. EC BRINGS THE STRONGEST WINDS THROUGH OVERNIGHT WED
NIGHT SO THU WINDS WOULD NOT BE AS STRONG WITH ITS SOLUTION.

ASIDE FROM THAT, WEST FLOW TO CONTINUE ALOFT INTO SATURDAY WITH
TEMPS SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE, MAINLY 70S SIERRA TO 80S WRN NV.
AFTERNOON BREEZES WILL BE MORE TYPICAL AS WELL WITH PEAK GUSTS
AROUND 25 MPH. SUNDAY, MODELS DIVERGE MORE WITH EC SHOWING MORE
RIDGING KEEPING THE UPPER LOW OFF THE COAST WHILE THE GFS/GEM
BRING IT ASHORE TO OUR NORTH. DIDN'T CHANGE MUCH FOR SUNDAY WITH
NEAR AVERAGE TEMPS AND ANOTHER DAY OF BREEZES. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH
THE RIDGE FROM NEW MEXICO WILL SLOWLY BUILD BACK TOWARD NV NEXT
WEEK IN ALL MODELS. WALLMANN

AVIATION...
MAIN CONCERN WILL BE SMOKE FROM THE ASPEN FIRE AROUND KMMH. EXPECT
VIS TO DROP TO 3SM AT TIMES THROUGH 20Z BEFORE IMPROVING TO VFR.
WITH ACTIVE FIRE AGAIN TODAY, VIS WILL LIKELY DROP BLO 5SM AFTER
04Z AGAIN. CIGS DUE TO SMOKE AROUND 3KFT THEN CLEARING A BIT
DURING THE AFTERNOON.

OUTSIDE OF KMMH, EXPECT VFR CONDS WITH ONLY ISOLD TSTMS SOUTH AND
EAST OF HAWTHORNE 22-02Z. PEAK GUSTS THIS AFTERNOON FROM W-SW 25
KTS AT KRNO/KCXP AND 20 KTS ELSEWHERE. WALLMANN

CLIMATE...
AS OF THIS MORNING, THE MEAN TEMPERATURE STANDS AT 80.5 DEGREES
WHICH IS STILL WELL AHEAD OF THE 80.0 DEGREE RECORD WHICH OCCURRED
IN JULY 2005 AND 2007. ALTHOUGH SOME COOLING IS EXPECTED FOR THE
FINAL THREE DAYS OF THE MONTH, THIS JULY STILL HAS A CHANCE OF
BEING THE WARMEST MONTH ON RECORD AT THE RENO AIRPORT. THE AMOUNT
OF COOLING AT NIGHT WILL LIKELY BE THE DECIDING FACTOR ON WHETHER
THIS JULY SETS A NEW RECORD FOR THE WARMEST MONTH. MJD
