AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
301 PM PDT THU AUG 8 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN NEAR THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHERN
OREGON COAST THROUGH FRIDAY. MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WITH THE LOW
WILL BRING THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE BEST CHANCES NORTH
OF INTERSTATE 80. THE REGION WILL DRY OUT OVER THE WEEKEND AS THE
LOW RETREATS NORTH. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW AVERAGE THIS WEEK
BEFORE REBOUNDING TO NEAR AVERAGE NEXT WEEK.
&&

.SHORT TERM...
THE ADVERTISED UPPER DISTURBANCE IS MOVING INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
CONVECTION HAS STARTED TO DEVELOP EAST OF THE SIERRA CREST SOUTH
OF HIGHWAY 50, LIKELY MORE IN RESPONSE TO DAYTIME HEATING THAN THE
INCOMING LOW. FURTHER NORTH, MID LEVEL CLOUDS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE PERSISTING OVER NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND NORTHWEST
NEVADA WHICH IS DUE TO THE INCOMING FORCING. LATER THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEVELOP
OVER NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND NORTHWEST NEVADA AS THE MAIN FORCING
ARRIVES. FURTHER SOUTH IN THE LEE OF THE SIERRA, THE CONVECTION
SHOULD DEVELOP INTO THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS AS
PERIPHERAL COOLING ALOFT FROM THE DISTURBANCE AND W-NW WINDS
OFF THE SIERRA FORCE CONVERGENCE AND STRENGTHEN CONVECTION
ESPECIALLY FROM THE VIRGINIA RANGE (EAST OF RENO) EASTWARD.

ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP THROUGH EVENING WILL BE STEERED TO
THE NORTH OR NORTH-NORTHWEST BY THE DEEP LAYER FLOW AHEAD OF THE
UPPER WAVE. AS FAR AS STORM CHARACTER, SOME SHEAR ALOFT WITH THE
INCOMING DISTURBANCE AND AREAS OF MODEST INSTABILITY WILL BRING
SOME THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS WITH OUTFLOW WINDS OVER 60 MPH. THE
BEST CHANCES (ALTHOUGH STILL NOT HIGH) WILL BE IN WESTERN AND
WEST-CENTRAL NEVADA NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 WHERE SHEAR ALOFT AND THE
BEST HEATING/INSTABILITY OVERLAY. AREAS IN NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA
AND FAR NORTHERN WASHOE COUNTY HAVE BETTER SHEAR (WHICH CAN AID STORM
ORGANIZATION/LIFESPAN IN THE PRESENCE OF INSTABILITY) BUT THEY ARE
CONSIDERABLY COOLER DUE TO COPIOUS CLOUD COVER SO THERE IS A LOWER
THREAT FOR STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS THERE. STILL, LARGE AMOUNTS OF
SMALL HAIL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE.

THE UPPER DISTURBANCE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL MOVE NORTH INTO
SOUTHERN OREGON BY LATE TONIGHT. THIS WILL BRING A THREAT FOR
NOCTURNAL THUNDERSTORMS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80 AND ESPECIALLY NORTH
OF PYRAMID LAKE. FRIDAY MORNING, YET ANOTHER UPPER DISTURBANCE
ROTATES AROUND THE MAIN UPPER LOW NEAR CAPE MENDOCINO FOR A
CONTINUED THREAT FOR ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS NORTH OF A PORTOLA TO
LOVELOCK LINE.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING, CONVECTIVE COVERAGE LOOKS TO DECREASE
SUBSTANTIALLY AS FRIDAY MORNING'S WAVE EXITS INTO OREGON. CONVECTION
WILL HAVE TO DEPEND ON WESTERLY WIND CONVERGENCE AND RESIDUAL
MOISTURE FOR AFTERNOON DEVELOPMENT. THE BEST SHOT FOR THIS IS
ACROSS NORTHERN LASSEN AND WASHOE COUNTIES TO THE NORTH AND EAST
OF LASSEN PEAK. FURTHER SOUTH, A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS
WAS LEFT AS A FEW STORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT AS WEST WINDS KICK
IN DURING THE AFTERNOON.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY, MORE STABLE AIR IS PROGGED TO MOVE IN
AS THE UPPER LOW NEAR CAPE MENDOCINO FINALLY BEGINS TO EJECT
NORTHWARD FOR AN END TO THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT. THE ONLY
EXCEPTION MAY BE ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND NORTHERN
WASHOE COUNTIES FRIDAY NIGHT WHERE ONE FINAL UPPER WAVE MOVES
OVERHEAD. SNYDER

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
BY SUNDAY THE CUTOFF LOW WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE OREGON COAST AS
IT CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTH. MODELS DIVERGE AT THIS POINT WITH
CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE CUTOFF LOW OVER
THE WEST COAST AND ANOTHER APPROACHING SYSTEM IN THE GULF OF ALASKA.
MODELS DO AGREE WITH THE BASIC SYNOPTIC PATTERN OF A BROAD MEAN
TROUGH OVER THE WEST COAST AND AN AMPLIFIED RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL
U.S. EXTENDING INTO NORTHERN CANADA.

THE DIFFERENCES THAT DO EXIST IN THE MODELS ONLY RESULT IN SMALL
DIFFERENCES IN THE SENSIBLE WEATHER. IF THE GFS IS RIGHT
TEMPERATURES MIGHT BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES COOLER WITH A LITTLE MORE
CLOUD COVER NEAR THE OREGON BORDER AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS
FOR THE FAR NORTH. FOR THE MOST PART TEMPERATURES WILL BE REBOUNDING
TO NEAR NORMAL DURING THE WEEK WITH FAIR WEATHER CUMULUS OVER THE
SIERRA. TEMPERATURES WILL BE BACK TO THE UPPER 80'S TO LOW 90'S MOST
OF THE WEEK IN WESTERN NEVADA AND UPPER 70'S TO LOW 80'S IN THE
SIERRA. WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY LIGHT WITH USUAL AFTERNOON MOUNTAIN
BREEZES THROUGH THE WEEK. TOLBY
&&

.AVIATION...
INCOMING UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVING INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IS AND
WILL CONTINUE TO FIRE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING,
ESPECIALLY NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 AND WEST OF KNFL/KLOL. THUNDERSTORMS
WILL MOVE TO THE NORTH IN MODERATE FLOW ALOFT THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. LOW LEVEL S-SW FLOW WILL LIKELY KEEP MOST THUNDERSTORMS
PUSHED OFF THE CREST EAST OF HIGHWAY 395. THE PRIMARY THREAT TO
AVIATION WILL BE ABUNDANT LIGHTNING, GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS OF 35-45
KTS (LOCALLY 50-60 KTS POSSIBLE IF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP)
AND SEVERE TURBULENCE IN THE VICINITY OF STORMS.

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE OVERNIGHT NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 80 WITH THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION NORTH OF KSVE AND
GERLACH. THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE
CONSIDERABLY ON FRIDAY AS DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WORKS INTO
EASTERN CALIFORNIA AND WESTERN NEVADA. FAIRLY TYPICAL SOUTHWEST TO
WEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED AT TERMINALS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
SNYDER
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR DRY
LIGHTNING STRIKES GENERALLY NORTH OF A LINE FROM PORTOLA TO
LOVELOCK. STORMS WILL TRANSITION TO A HYBRID VARIETY WITH IMPROVING
CHANCES FOR WETTING RAINS TONIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY. CURRENT STORM
MOTIONS ARE RATHER QUICK AT AROUND 30 MPH BUT ARE TRACKING ACROSS
THE SAME AREAS. THIS MAY DAMPEN THE THREAT FOR NEW FIRE STARTS BUT
THERE IS STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR DRY STRIKES OUTSIDE OF THE MAIN
CORES OF THESE STORMS. STORMS WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH IN COVERAGE
AFTER MIDNIGHT BUT STILL EXPECT ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO LINGER
MAINLY ACROSS FAR NORTHERN LASSEN AND NORTHERN WASHOE COUNTIES
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.

THE UPPER LOW WILL SLOWLY TRACK NORTH ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND
WILL PROVIDE ANOTHER POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS PARTICULARLY OVER
FAR NORTHERN LASSEN AND WASHOE COUNTIES. THESE AREAS WILL SEE THE
BEST COMBINATION OF INSTABILITY AND DYNAMICS FRIDAY AFTERNOON WHICH
COULD PRODUCE SCATTERED CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES. HOWEVER,
THESE WILL REMAIN WET STORMS AND SHOULD LIMIT FIRE START POTENTIAL.
THIS ACTIVITY ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO LINGER OVERNIGHT AND INTO
SATURDAY MORNING AS THE CORE OF THE UPPER LOW CROSSES INTO NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. DRIER CONDITIONS AND SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES WILL
PREVAIL LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE LOW
PUSHES NORTH ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. FUENTES
