AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
224 PM PDT THU JUL 4 2013

.SYNOPSIS...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. SOME
STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS, HAIL, AND LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE SOME MINOR FLASH FLOODING.
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE FRIDAY AND CONTINUE
TO DECREASE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. COVERAGE WILL BECOME LIMITED
MAINLY EAST OF HIGHWAY 95 AND MONO COUNTY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
BACK IN EARLY NEXT WEEK CAUSING TEMPERATURES TO WARM.

&&

.SHORT TERM...

THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY UNSTABLE TODAY WITH THIS
MORNING'S SOUNDING ALREADY SHOWING OVER 1400J/KG OF CAPE. IN
ADDITION TO CONTINUED TRIGGERING FROM OUTFLOWS, LARGER SCALE
FORCING WILL COME IN THE FORM OF A BOUNDARY DROPPING OUT OF OREGON
ASSOCIATED WITH A TROUGH IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THIS BOUNDARY
WILL HELP CONTINUE THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT FOR THE VERY NORTHERN
ZONES INCLUDING NORTHERN LASSEN AND WASHOE COUNTIES AS WELL AS
EASTERN MODOC COUNTY. SOME JET SUPPORT WILL AID IN VENTILATION OF
THESE STORMS ALLOWING THEM TO BECOME A LITTLE MORE ORGANIZED THAN
THE CACOPHONY OF THE LAST FEW DAYS. IT WOULD BE REASONABLE TO
EXPECT A VERY ISOLATED SUPERCELL OR CONVECTIVE COMPLEX DEVELOPING
FROM THIS AFTERNOON'S STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG WINDS,
LARGE HAIL, AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

LARGE SCALE CONVERGENCE SHIFTS EASTWARD FRIDAY AND INTO THE
WEEKEND. THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL ALSO SHIFT
EASTWARD MAINLY INTO CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEVADA. HOWEVER, THERE
COULD STILL BE A FEW AFTERNOON BUILD-UPS FROM MONO COUNTY INTO
WEST CENTRAL NEVADA. HAVE KEPT ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE FORECAST FOR AREAS IN EASTERN PERSHING/CHURCHILL/MINERAL AND
MONO COUNTIES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

WINDS INCREASE FRIDAY AND WILL BE A CONCERN FOR CHOPPY CONDITIONS
ON AREA LAKES. THIS WILL BE ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR LAKE TAHOE AND
PYRAMID LAKE WHERE THERE WILL BE AN INFLUX OF PEOPLE USING THESE
RECREATION AREAS OVER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. WINDS WILL BE BREEZY
WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH AND A FEW ISOLATED HIGHER GUSTS TO 35 MPH.
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN AS BOAT TRAFFIC INCREASES AND PERSONAL
FLOTATION DEVICES SHOULD BE USED AT ALL TIMES. BOYD

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

A SOUTHWEST FLOW PATTERN ALOFT WILL PROVIDE WARM AND DRY
CONDITIONS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST.
TEMPERATURES SUNDAY WILL REMAIN NEAR THE MID 90S ACROSS MUCH OF
WESTERN NEVADA WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE MAINLY ACROSS
MINERAL COUNTIES AND THE FAR EASTERN EXTENTS OF PERSHING AND
CHURCHILL COUNTIES. ACROSS SIERRA VALLEYS LOW TO MID 80S CAN BE
EXPECTED. BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY RIDGING WILL BEGIN TO NUDGE ITS
WAY BACK ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN WHICH WILL SOLIDIFY THE WARM DRY
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE MID AND
UPPER 90S TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH TRIPLE DIGITS POSSIBLE IN
WARMER VALLEYS ACROSS THE BASIN AND RANGE. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
WILL BEGIN TO WORK ITS WAY TOWARD THE SIERRA ON WEDNESDAY AND WILL
RESULT IN ENHANCED THERMAL AND PRESSURE GRADIENTS. THIS WILL
MATERIALIZE INTO BREEZY WINDS BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH
AFTERNOON ZEPHYR BREEZES PERSISTING ON THURSDAY. DRY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY WITH TEMPERATURES REMAINING
ABOUT 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. FUENTES

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

STORMS MOVING A BIT QUICKER TODAY WITH CELL SPEEDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A FEW MORE DRY STRIKES THAN THE LAST COUPLE
DAYS.  SPOTTERS ON THE GROUND ARE REPORTING HAIL, HEAVY RAIN AND
GUSTY OUTFLOWS TO 50 MPH. A FEW STORMS MAY LINGER LATE TONIGHT AND
VERY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING NORTH AND EAST OF SUSANVILLE TO FALLON.

FOR FRIDAY, A TROUGH OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL BRING DRIER AIR
AND BREEZY AFTERNOON WINDS TO AREAS WEST OF A LINE FROM BRIDGEPORT
TO RENO TO CEDARVILLE. PEAK GUSTS WILL BE NEAR 30 MPH WITH A FEW
GUSTS TO 35 MPH IN WIND PRONE AREAS ALONG HIGHWAY 395. AFTERNOON
HUMIDITY WILL FALL TO NEAR 15%, BUT DO NOT THINK THE DRYING WILL BE
WIDESPREAD ENOUGH FOR A LARGE AREA OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS. AREAS
EAST AND SOUTH OF THE BRIDGEPORT TO RENO TO CEDARVILLE LINE WILL
CONTINUE TO HAVE A 10-20% CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. STORMS FRIDAY
WILL BE DRIER WITH A FEW MORE DRY STRIKES AWAY FROM THE RAIN CORES.

FOR THE REST OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND, DRY CONDITIONS WITH THE TYPICAL
AFTERNOON WINDS OFF THE SIERRA.  PEAK GUSTS SATURDAY MAY REACH 30
MPH, WITH LIGHTER WINDS FOR SUNDAY.  THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES FALL TO
ABOUT 10-15% AND LIMITED TO AREAS EAST OF HIGHWAY 95.  OVERNIGHT
RECOVERIES WILL DECREASE AND MAY BECOME POOR BY SUNDAY NIGHT ON MID
AND UPPER SLOPES. BRONG

&&

.AVIATION...

THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS.
EXPECT ERRATIC WIND SHIFTS FROM OUTFLOW THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
THERE IS ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO SUSTAIN THESE STORMS WELL AFTER THE
TYPICAL HOURS OF ACTIVITY. TAKE CARE AROUND THESE STORMS SINCE
THEY WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL, STRONG WINDS, AND
DANGEROUS LIGHTNING. ALSO, GUSTY WINDS COULD KICK UP QUITE A BIT
OF DUST ESPECIALLY EAST OF HIGHWAY 395 AND COULD SIGNIFICANTLY
REDUCE VISIBILITIES.

THREAT OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ALONG THE SIERRA AND SIERRA FRONT
REDUCES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE PRIMARY CONVERGENT
ZONE SHIFTS INTO CENTRAL NEVADA. WESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE
FRIDAY AND MAY BE A CONCERN FOR NORTH/SOUTH ORIENTED RUNWAYS AS
GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH CREATE ERRATIC CROSSWINDS. FLYING CONDITIONS
IMPROVE OVER THE WEEKEND AS WINDS DROP AND DRIER HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS BACK OVER THE REGION. BOYD
