AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
210 AM PDT SAT NOV 1 2014

.SYNOPSIS...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE SILVER
STATE TODAY AND TONIGHT AS A STORM SYSTEM BRINGS RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS TO MANY AREAS...AS WELL AS GUSTY WINDS TO PARTS OF
CENTRAL NEVADA.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY. IR IMAGERY SHOWS PLENTY OF
CLOUDINESS ACROSS EASTERN NEVADA AND SOME DRIER AIR PUNCHING
THROUGH THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE. IT IS SNOWING ON THE
SIERRAS AND HEAVY RAIN HAS BEEN REPORTED AT THE RENO AIRPORT IN
THE PAST FEW HOURS. FALLON AND LOVELOCK ARE INTERMITTENTLY
REPORTING RAIN WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND 50 DEGREES. THERE IS SOME
INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD AIR CLASH JUST TO THE WEST OF
THE CWFA AT THIS TIME. SO THE PRECIPITATION IS APPROACHING BUT
THE SNOW LEVELS AND ANY POSSIBLE FORTHCOMING SNOW PRODUCTS FOR
EASTERN NEVADA IS STILL A TOUGH CALL UNTIL THE TROUGH DISTINCTLY
BEGINS TO LIFT NORTHEAST.

TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT. MODELS AGREE TO MOVE THE BASE OF THE
TROUGH THROUGH THE STATE. TEMPERATURES WILL START OUT RELATIVELY
WARM OVER EASTERN NEVADA THEN DROP DURING THE DAY AS THE
PRECIPITATION AND COOLER AIR MOVE IN. OVER WESTERN NEVADA
TEMPERATURES WILL START OUT A LITTLE COOLER AND FALL DURING THE
DAY AS WELL. SNOW IMPACTS IN THE VALLEYS WILL BE MINIMAL DUE TO
THE DAYTIME ARRIVAL OF THIS SYSTEM. THE TROUGH DEPTH HAS ALLOWED
SOME COOLER AIR TO FILTER INTO HUMBOLDT COUNTY THIS MORNING. THERE
MAY BE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS OVER EASTERN NEVADA AS THE COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH AND BETTER MIXING WILL BOOST WIND GUSTS OVER THE
SOUTHWEST PART OF THE LKN CWFA...THAT IS...NE NYE AND WHITE PINE
COUNTIES WHERE THE SURFACE GRADIENT IS SUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED...AT
LEAST FOR A SHORT TIME. ADDED WIND ADVISORY FOR THOSE AREAS. MODELED
JET ENERGY SEEMS ABOUT BALANCED NOW...WAITING FOR THE TROUGH
EJECTION. ALSO ADDED A SNOW ADVISORY FOR NORTHERN LANDER AND
EUREKA COUNTIES ADDRESSING THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS MORE SO THAN
VALLEYS.

SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. A POST-TROUGH NORTHERLY FLOW WILL
KEEP SNOW SHOWERS GOING ACROSS EASTERN NEVADA. TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE TO BE BELOW NORMAL.

MONDAY. ENOUGH RIDGING MAY EXPAND OVER THE GREAT BASIN TO DRY
THINGS OUT AND BEGIN A WARM-UP.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. AT THE ONSET OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD...THE SYNOPTIC TROF WILL EXTEND FROM MANITOBA TO
ARIZONA WITH THE RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN U.S.. AT OOZ TUESDAY THE 570
DAM WILL BISECT EASTERN NV...AND BOTH THE ECMWF AND THE
GFS...PROJECT INCREASING HEIGHTS. BY 00Z WEDNESDAY...THE RIDGE
WILL BE IN ITS FULL GLORY WITH THE 582 DAM OVER WINNEMUCCA AND
LUND. WITH THIS DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE...EXPECT A WARMING AND
DRYING TREND. BY THURSDAY...THE RIDGE BEGINS TO FLATTEN AND A
DRIER SW FLOW DEVELOPS.

&&

.AVIATION...A PACIFIC LOW WILL BRING A BATCH OF UNSETTLED WEATHER TO
NORTHERN NEVADA. ANTICIPATING THE POSSIBILITY OF MVFR AND SHORT
STINTS OF IFR LATER TODAY AND INTO SUNDAY. EXPECT OBSCURED MT TOPS
AND LIGHT TO MODERATE TURBULENCE.
