.SYNOPSIS...ABUNDANT MONSOON MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM
INTO NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEVADA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS FUELING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. HIGH CLOUDS STREAMING
NORTHWARD INTO CENTRAL NV THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF INVERTED TROUGH
OVER SOUTHWEST AZ/BAJA CA. THESE CLOUDS WILL INHIBIT CONVECTION
THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING AND WILL CUT BACK THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE TO
ISOLATED. THIS INVERTED TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO CENTRAL NV SUNDAY
AFTERNOON WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES INCREASING TO OVER 1
INCH. THEREFORE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE PLENTY JUICY FOR THE POTENTIAL
FOR HEAVY RAIN. PLUS DYNAMICS FROM INVERTED TROUGH WILL HELP WITH
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER ON THE DOWN SIDE EXTENSIVE CLOUD
COVER WILL INHIBIT DAYTIME HEATING AND HENCE CONVECTION. ALSO
FORECAST SOUNDING SHOW A WARM LAYER BETWEEN 500-400 MB WHICH WILL
ALSO HELP CAP CONVECTION. WITH THAT SAID WILL CONTINUE WITH FLASH
FLOOD WATCH FOR CENTRAL NV SUNDAY, BUT AS NOTED ABOVE NOT A CLEAR
CUT SITUATION AND COULD END UP GETTING MAINLY LIGHT SHOWERS WITH
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN. ON MONDAY INVERTED TROUGH
FEATURE MOVES INTO NORTHERN NV WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
NEARING 1.2 INCHES. HOWEVER WILL HAVE ALL THE UNCERTAINTY AS WAS
NOTED ABOVE FOR CENTRAL NV ON SUNDAY SO WILL NOT ISSUE A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME FOR NORTHERN NV FOR MONDAY.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY. MODELS IN FAIR
AGREEMENT WITH AN UPPER LOW AND SHORTWAVE SLOWLY MOVING ACROSS
NORTHERN NEVADA DURING THE LONG TERM.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. THE LOW AND SHORTWAVE WILL VERY
SLOWLY MOVE OUT OF NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA BRINGING
MOISTURE AND CONVECTION ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA WITH
PW'S INITIALLY OVER ONE INCH MONDAY NIGHT AND DECREASING TO NEAR
.75" ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH POCKETS OF SLIGHTLY HIGHER PW'S
IN NORTHERN NEVADA.

THURSDAY THE SHORTWAVE SLIPS EAST OF THE AREA WITH SOME DIFFERENCE
ON THE TIMING...BUT DO EXPECT MOST OF THE CONVECTION TO BE ACROSS
THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA MAINLY IN ELKO...EUREKA AND WHITE PINE
COUNTIES.

FRIDAY WILL BE DRIER WITH PW'S DROPPING TO NEAR A HALF INCH AS A
SHORTWAVE RIDGE CROSSES THE REGION BUT A FEW ISOLATED STORMS STILL
POSSIBLE MAINLY OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN.

SATURDAY SHOW A WEAK SHORTWAVE CROSSING NORTHERN NEVADA WHICH COULD
TRIGGER SOME CONVECTION SO INCREASED POPS FOR THIS PERIOD.
&&

.AVIATION...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH KELY HAVING THE BEST CHANCE AT 30 TO 40
PERCENT WITH LOWER CHANCES AT THE OTHER TERMINALS OF 15 TO 25
PERCENT. BRIEF HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS AS WELL AS
GUSTY WINDS NEAR THE STORMS.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...ABUNDANT MONSOON MOISTURE WILL FUEL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS, SOME WITH HEAVY RAIN, OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
