AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
902 AM PDT TUE AUG 19 2014

.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRING MOISTURE
NORTHWARD INTO NEVADA TODAY. THIS RESULTS IN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN NEVADA.
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL RESULT IN COOLER THAN NORMAL CONDITIONS
OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.UPDATE...HAVE BUMPED POPS IN EXTREME SOUTHEAST PART OF WHITE PINE
COUNTY FOR THIS MORNING. HEAVY RAIN HAD BEEN FALLING THIS MORNING
IN THIS AREA RESULTING FROM THE LEFT FRONT QUADRANT PORTION OF THE
JET. HAVE FLOOD ADVISORY OUT THIS MORNING FOR EASTERN WHITE PINE
COUNTY. BUMP POPS SLIGHTLY OVER NORTHERN NV THIS AFTERNOON AS THE
AIRMASS BECOMES QUITE UNSTABLE WITH INCREASING MOISTURE.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED AT 420 AM /

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. UPPER LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY
LOCATED NEAR SAN FRANCISCO WITH A BROAD SOUTHERLY FETCH OVER THE
AREA BRINGING MOISTURE NORTH. SHORTWAVE NEAR ELY HAS KEPT
THUNDERSTORMS GOING MUCH OF THE NIGHT AND THERE APPEARS TO HAVE
BEEN SOME FLASH FLOODING AROUND GREAT BASIN NATIONAL PARK WHERE
LEHMAN CREEK HAS RISEN RAPIDLY AND OVER AN INCH OF RAIN HAS BEEN
REPORTED IN SEVERAL AUTOMATED GAUGES. A FLASH FLOOD WARNING IS IN
EFFECT FOR THIS AREA...AT LEAST UNTIL WE HEAR MORE ABOUT WHAT SORT
OF FLOODING MAY HAVE TAKEN PLACE THERE. THUNDERSTORMS APPEAR TO BE
GRADUALLY WINDING DOWN AS THAT SHORTWAVE HEADS EAST...BUT MOISTURE
PLUS INSOLATION PLUS LOWERING HEIGHTS MEANS THAT CONVECTION SHOULD
DEVELOP WITH DAYTIME HEATING LATER ON ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.
MOST CONCENTRATED AREAS SHOULD BE THE EAST WHERE PW'S WILL BE
HIGHEST...BUT MARGINAL PW'S PLUS CYCLONIC CURVATURE UNDER THE
LOW'S INFLUENCE AND VORT MAXES FLOATING AROUND SHOULD GET A FEW
STORMS GOING TO THE WEST AS WELL. HIGHS SHOULD DROP A FEW DEGREES
WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR ALOFT BUT STILL RATHER WARM.

TOMORROW THE LOW SINKS TO OUR SOUTH AND AN EXTENDED TROUGH TO OUR
NORTH BEGINS TO INFLUENCE US WITH WESTERLY WINDS. THIS WILL START
TO DIMINISH THE MOISTURE AND WHILE STORMS ARE AGAIN
EXPECTED...COVERAGE SHOULD DIMINISH. TEMPERATURES WILL PROBABLY
DROP A BIT MORE ONCE AGAIN AS THE AIR COOLS A BIT MORE ALOFT BUT
STILL OK FOR AUGUST. RCM

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY. MODELS ARE ALL
HINTING AT SOME KIND OF TROUGH OVER THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY. HAVE KEPT MAINLY ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
OVER THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THROUGH THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS...NORTHERN NEVADA WILL SIT AT THE BASE OF THE TROUGH.
AFTERNOONS WILL GENERALLY BE DRY...WITH JUST ISOLATED ACTIVITY
ALONG THE BORDER WITH UTAH AND SOUTHWEST IDAHO. AFTER SATURDAY
MODEL SOLUTIONS BEGIN TO DIVERGE ON MANY OF THE MINOR FEATURES.
HAVE KEPT FORECAST UNCHANGED FOR THIS TIME FRAME. TEMPERATURES
DURING THE LONG TERM WILL BE AT OR JUST BELOW NORMAL LEVELS.

AVIATION...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
ISOLD -TSRA POSSIBLE AT KEKO AND KELY. PROBABILITY FOR TS AT KWMC
IS BELOW 10 PERCENT...SO WILL GO WITH VCTS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
CONVECTIVE WIND GUSTS TO 40 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORM.

FIRE WEATHER...LIGHTNING FROM THUNDERSTORMS IS THE MAIN SHORT
TERM CONCERN. CERTAINLY RAINS WILL PROBABLY BE WETTING OVER
EASTERN AREAS WHERE PW'S ARE NEAR OR ABOVE 1 INCH...AND IN FACT AS
OF THIS WRITING AREAS OF SOUTHEASTERN WHITE PINE COUNTY HAVE
ALREADY RECEIVED AN INCH AND A HALF OF RAIN. FURTHER WEST
HOWEVER...PW'S STAY MUCH LOWER...CLOSER TO A HALF INCH...SO WHILE
STORM MOTION WILL NOT BE TOO FAST...SOME DRY LIGHTNING SHOULD BE
EXPECTED. HOPEFULLY THE RECENT BOUT OF WET WEATHER DURING THE
FIRST HALF OF AUGUST WILL MAKE FUELS LESS EAGER TO IGNITE.
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL START TO DECLINE WEDNESDAY AND SHOULD
BE NOTICEABLY LOWER THURSDAY. AS A TROUGH DIGS IN FROM THE NORTH
LATER IN THE WEEK...WINDS MAY BECOME A CONCERN...BUT STILL SOME
TIME TO WATCH THAT. RCM

.LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
