AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
218 PM PDT FRI MAY 9 2014

.SYNOPSIS...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE IN NORTHERN NEVADA...BEFORE DIMINISHING AFTER SUNSET.
SATURDAY WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...WITH MOUNTAIN SNOW LIKELY. NEXT WEEK...HIGH
PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE GREAT BASIN AND TEMPERATURES WILL WARM
INTO THE SEVENTIES WITH DRY WEATHER.

&&

.SHORT TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL
PERSIST THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.

REST OF FRIDAY...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE
MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY MARGINAL MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND STRONG JET DYNAMICS. THIS WILL WEAKEN AND
EVENTUALLY DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET. CLOSE TO THE ID BORDER...SOME
SHOWERS MAY PERSIST OVERNIGHT.

SATURDAY...UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL SLIDE ACROSS NORTHERN
NEVADA FROM THE PAC NW. THIS WILL SLIDE A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS
THE AREA...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD/NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...SUFFICIENT MOISTURE...INSABILITY...AND LIFT WILL BE
PRESENT TO SUPPORT CONVECTION. LIS WILL BE IN THE 0 TO -2
RANGE...STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE...AND CAPE AROUND 100-200
J/KG. ANY THUNDERSTORM COULD PRODUCE BRIEF HEAVY RAIN...SMALL
HAIL/GRAUPEL...AND GUSTY WINDS. SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL...BUT ANY
NOTICEABLE VALLEY ACCUMULATIONS LOOK UNLIKELY...SINCE IT IS MOVING
THROUGH DURING THE AFTERNOON. LATER IN THE EVENING...SOME NORTHERN
ELKO COUNTY VALLEY LOCATIONS ABOVE 6000 FT COULD SEE LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS. NO IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED FROM THE SNOW. THE MOUNTAINS
MAY SEE 2-6 INCHES OF FRESH SNOW...BUT CURRENT THINKING IS THAT NO
WINTER HEADLINES WILL BE NEEDED.

CURRENTLY CONCERNED ABOUT STRONG GUSTY WINDS DEVELOPING POST
FRONTAL IN NW NYE COUNTY. MAV/MET GUIDANCE SHOWS SUSTAINED WINDS
OF 30-34 KNOTS...WHICH WOULD TRANSLATE TO A STRONG WIND ADV. A
WIND ADV MAY BE REQUIRED...BUT WANTED TO WAIT ANOTHER SHIFT TO
SEE ADDITIONAL MODEL GUIDANCE. 6 HR MSLP CHANGE IS ~11MB...WHICH
IS VERY IMPRESSIVE. THESE WINDS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP LATE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND GET STRONGER THROUGH THE EVENING.

SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...UPPER LEVEL LOW IS SLOW TO MOVE OUT OF
UTAH AND WILL RESULT IN ISOLATED SHOWERS AND PERHAPS AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM. THIS WILL BE CONFINED TO EASTERN NEVADA. LEFT THUNDER
OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR NOW...BUT ADDITION OF THUNDER MAY BE
NEEDED.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY. UPPER PATTERN WILL
MORPH INTO A BROAD RIDGE OVER THE WEST COAST WITH 589 DM CENTER OVER
CENTRAL-SOUTHERN CALI BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE RIDGE AXIS MOVES TO
CENTRAL NEVADA BY THURSDAY NIGHT AND THE CLOSED HIGH CENTER OPENS
WITH MAX HEIGHTS DROPPING TO 586 DM. BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON THE AXIS IS
OVER WESTERN UTAH AND HEIGHTS DROP ANOTHER 10 DM. DRY PATTERN OVER
THE SIERRAS WITH WINDS ON THE LIGHT SIDE UNTIL LATE IN THE PERIOD
WHEN CYCLONIC FLOW BEGINS TO APPEAR ON THE WESTERN HORIZON AND THE
SURFACE GRADIENT CLOSES LITTLE FOR A SLIGHT INCREASE IN WIND SPEEDS
FRIDAY. VIRTUALLY ARID AIR MASS OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHERN THROUGH
THE PERIOD GUARANTEES VERY LOW TO NON-EXISTANT POPS FOR THE WEEK
UNTIL ABOUT FRIDAY MORNING WHEN A WEAK IMPULSE OVER EXTREME EXTREME
EXTREME...DID I MENTION EXTREME?...NEVADA WILL CREATE LOW POPS
AGAIN. BEYOND THE LONG RANGE...SAY A WEEK FROM SUNDAY-MONDAY...MAYBE
SOME LOW POPS AGAIN IN NORTHERN NEVADA. BB

&&

.AVIATION...ISOLATED SHOWERS WITH THE OFF AND ON LIGHTNING STRIKE IN
FAR NORTHERN NEVADA WILL DECREASE AFTER SUNSET FRIDAY. SOME SHOWERS
AT KEKO MAY PRODUCE SMALL HAIL OR GRAUPEL. A COLD FRONT EXITED THE
STATE TO THE EAST LATE MORNING FRIDAY AND WINDS BEHIND IT ARE WEST
TO NORTHWEST AND GUSTING TO THE 20S KNOTS. THIS WILL ALSO CONTINUE
AT KWMC...KEKO...KELY UNTIL SUNSET. GUSTS WILL CONTINUE AT KTPH
THROUGH ABOUT 03Z SATURDAY THEN DECREASE. ONLY SITE WITH CIGS IS
KEKO WHERE THEY TEND TO BETWEEN BKN060 AND BKN080. THESE WILL
DECREASE RAPIDLY AFTER SUNSET. ANOTHER ROUND OF LIGHT SHOWERS
EXPECTED AT KEKO SATURDAY MORNING...BUT VERY ISOLATED. SOME MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS AT KEKO AND KELY POSSIBLE...BUT KELY ONLY HIGHEST
RIDGES.

&&

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