AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
235 AM PDT TUE MAY 21 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHING THE WEST COAST WILL BRING STRONG
WINDS TO THE AREA TUESDAY, WITH GUSTY CONDITIONS LINGERING INTO
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MUCH COOLER FOR THE
SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK AS LOW PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE REGION
WITH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80.
&&

.SHORT TERM...
THE MAIN CHANGE TO THE SHORT TERM WAS TO BUMP UP WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND ADD A WIND ADVISORY FOR EASTERN LASSEN
AND NORTHERN WASHOE COUNTIES AS WELL AS THE SURPRISE VALLEY.

AN UPPER LOW IS APPROACHING THE OREGON AND WASHINGTON COASTS THIS
MORNING WITH MID AND HIGH CLOUDS STREAMING INTO CALIFORNIA AND
NORTHWEST NEVADA OUT AHEAD OF THE LOW. FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING, AN IMPULSE MOVING AROUND THE UPPER LOW WILL CREATE A
STRONG THERMAL GRADIENT ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND WESTERN
NEVADA AS A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE NORTHWEST STATES. THIS WILL
BRING STRONG, GUSTY WINDS TO THE AREA WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS
EXPECTED NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80. IN FACT, WIND PRONE AREAS OF THE
SURPRISE VALLEY DOWNWIND OF THE WARNER MOUNTAINS MAY SEE BRIEF
GUSTS OF 55-60 MPH WITH SOME DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT AS AN UPPER JET
MOVES INTO FAR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS EVENING. WITH POSSIBLE
DOWNSLOPE AND THE TIGHT GRADIENT, I HAVE HOISTED A WIND ADVISORY
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR LASSEN COUNTY ALONG AND EAST OF
HIGHWAY 395 AND OUT INTO WASHOE COUNTY NORTH OF PYRAMID LAKE.
ELSEWHERE, LOCAL ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS ARE POSSIBLE IN NORTHERN
PERSHING COUNTY AND IN THE IMMEDIATE LEE OF THE NORTHERN SIERRA
NEAR RENO, CARSON CITY, AND MINDEN BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK WIDESPREAD
ENOUGH FOR A WIND ADVISORY.

TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT, THE UPPER LOW WILL STALL OVER
THE NORTHWEST CONUS AS A BLOCKING RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS
HALTS THE LOW'S FORWARD PROGRESS. TWO UPPER DISTURBANCES WILL
ROTATE AROUND THE LOW, ONE ON WEDNESDAY AND THE OTHER THURSDAY
MORNING, BRINGING THE CHANCE FOR A FEW RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS
MAINLY NORTH OF A PORTOLA TO GERLACH LINE. IN ADDITION, A COLD
FRONT WILL PUSH INTO THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY
BRINGING A BIG DROP IN TEMPERATURES WITH BELOW AVERAGE HIGHS FOR
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. SNYDER

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
MADE FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO THE LONG TERM FORECAST AS UNCERTAINTY
INCREASES FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. MODELS AND THE ENSEMBLES BEGIN TO
SHOW A RANGE OF SOLUTIONS BY THEN WITH A COOLER/WETTER GFS/GEM TO A
WARMER/DRIER EC. OVERALL, DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE MANY CHANGES WITH THE
UNCERTAINTY AND THE FACT THAT THE GOING FORECAST ALREADY REPRESENTS
A MIDDLE OF THE ROAD APPROACH.

STRONG SHORT WAVE FOR THURS MOVES NORTHEAST OUT OF THE AREA FRIDAY
WITH A LIGHT WEST FLOW ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW OVER THE
PACIFIC NW. THE UPPER LOW REMAINS THROUGH SUNDAY WITH A BAGGY TROUGH
OVER THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA. WHILE MODELS ARE A BIT DRIER SAT
AND HAVE KEPT DRY, THE GFS BRINGS A DECENT SHORT WAVE INTO THE AREA
SUNDAY FOR SOME SHOWERS NORTH OF I-80. THE EC HAS BACKED OFF THIS
SOLUTION AND KEEPS A WEAKER SHORT WAVE TO NORTH. THE DISCREPANCIES
INCREASE MONDAY WITH THE EC HAVING A WEAKER TROUGH WHILE THE GFS/GEM
ARE STRONGER AND COOLER WITH A FEW SHOWERS. KEPT THE MENTION OF
SHOWERS MONDAY AS THE GEM/GFS ARE MORE CONSISTENT. IN ADDITION,
THE EC ENSEMBLE SUPPORTS THE NORTH AMERICAN MODELS IN CONTRAST TO
ITS DETERMINISTIC SOLUTION. WILL CONTINUE TO LEAN TOWARD THE
COOLER/WETTER IDEAS GIVEN THE MODEL SUPPORTS. HOWEVER, THE EC IS
PLAUSIBLE AS IT DOES SHOW A REASONABLE EVOLUTION TO THE PATTERN.
HOPEFULLY THIS BECOMES CLEARER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WALLMANN
&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH WED. MAIN ISSUE WILL BE WINDS TODAY/TONIGHT.
STRONG COLD FRONT TO INCREASE SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING. EXPECT PEAK GUSTS TO 35-40 KTS NORTH OF HWY 50
THIS AFTERNOON AND 30-35 KTS TO THE SOUTH. DO NOT EXPECT MUCH MTN
WAVE ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO MIXING, BUT THIS EVENING AS WIND
DECOUPLE SOMEWHAT EXPECT IT TO INCREASE. THERE COULD BE PERIODS OF
LLWS FOR KTRK/KTVL DUE TO THE CHANNELING EFFECTS OF THE TERRAIN
AFTER 04Z. EXPECT WINDS TO DIMINISH FROM NORTH TO SOUTH FM 06-15Z
WED AS THE COLD FRONT PASSES. OVERALL HIGH CONFIDENCE IN WINDS
TODAY, WITH LOW-MODERATE ON ANY POTENTIAL LLWS FOR THE TAHOE BASIN
TONIGHT. WALLMANN
