AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
200 AM PST SAT FEB 15 2014

.SYNOPSIS...UNSEASONABLY MILD THIS AFTERNOON WITH MOST VALLEYS
ENJOYING NEAR RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S. SOUTHWEST WINDS
WILL BE STRONG AND GUSTY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN AND
NORTHWEST NEVADA. A QUICK MOVING COLD FRONT WILL BRING SNOW
SHOWERS TO NORTHERN NEVADA ON SUNDAY...WITH MOST SNOW FALLING IN
ELKO COUNTY. DRY AND MILD MONDAY AND TUESDAY BEFORE A STRONG COLD
FRONT BARRELS THROUGH NEVADA TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY.

VERY MILD MORNING UNDER A THICK CIRRUS CANOPY, WITH MOST LOCATIONS
HOLDING IN THE 40S AT MIDNIGHT. FOR SOME PERSPECTIVE, THE
TEMPERATURE AT THE ELKO AIRPORT AT MIDNIGHT WAS 3 DEGREES ABOVE
THE NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR MID FEBRUARY! PACIFIC MOISTURE
CONTINUES TO STREAM ACROSS NEVADA, WITH THE CIRRUS NOT ALLOWING
MUCH IF ANY RADIATIONAL COOLING.

TODAY...WINDY AND UNSEASONABLY WARM. EFFICIENT MIXING AND LACK OF
SNOWCOVER, PLUS THE VERY WARM START THIS MORNING, WILL ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO SOAR INTO THE 60S FOR ALL VALLEYS THIS AFTERNOON.
WARMEST VALLEY LOCATIONS ACROSS THE W/SW ZONES IN THE LOWER 70S.
EVEN EXPECTING UPPER 40S AND LOWER 50S ALL THE WAY UP THE RUBY
MOUNTAINS. SEVERAL RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED. THE
NUMBER TO BEAT AT THE ELKO REGIONAL AIRPORT IS 62, SET IN 2011.

SW WINDS WILL BE STRONG AND GUSTY ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA BY THIS
AFTERNOON, WITH MARKEDLY LESS WIND ACROSS CENTRAL NEVADA.
INHERITED WIND ADVISORY FOR HUMBOLDT AND NORTHERN ELKO COUNTIES
LOOKS APPROPRIATE, AND ACTUALLY INCREASED THE WIND/WIND GUST GRIDS
FOR THESE ZONES. GFS BUFR SOUNDINGS FOR WINNEMUCCA SHOW THE WARM
AIR WILL ALLOW FOR IMPRESSIVE MIXING TO NEAR 650 MB, WITH NEAR 50
KTS AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER BY 4 PM. AS SUCH, WIND GUSTS
NEAR 50 MPH ARE EXPECTED IN THE VALLEYS OF HUMBOLDT AND NORTHERN
ELKO COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON. HIGHER GUSTS TO 60 MPH ON THE HIGHEST
TERRAIN/SUMMITS. CERTAINLY A WINDY DAY FOR SOUTHERN ELKO COUNTY,
INCLUDING ELKO/SPRING CREEK, AVERAGING 20-30 MPH WITH GUSTS NEAR
40 MPH. EXPECT THESE WINDS TO REMAIN JUST BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.
WENT AHEAD AND ADDED AREAS OF BLOWING DUST IN THE GRIDS FOR THE
WESTERN ZONES THIS AFTERNOON, AND EASTWARD TO SW ELKO COUNTY THIS
EVENING. DESPITE A MOSTLY CLOUDY SKY, EXCELLENT MIXING SHOULD BE
ABLE TO LOFT SOME WESTERN NEVADA DUST INTO THE ATMOSPHERE THIS
AFTERNOON. TRIMMED BACK SHOWER MENTION TO PRETTY MUCH NOTHING
ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA TODAY, WITH STRONG SHADOWING EXPECTED.
STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO ALLOW FEW IF ANY RAINDROPS FROM REACHING
THE GROUND.

SUNDAY...VERY FAST-MOVING SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
RACES ACROSS NEVADA. SHORTWAVE AXIS EXPECTED TO BE ON THE NW
CALIFORNIA COAST AT 4 AM SUNDAY, NEAR BATTLE MOUNTAIN AT 10 AM,
AND NEAR SALT LAKE CITY BY 4 PM. IN OTHER WORDS, FORCING FOR
PRECIPITATION WILL BE REASONABLY STRONG BUT VERY BRIEF. EXPECTING
A BRIEF PERIOD OF SNOW SHOWERS CENTERED ON ELKO COUNTY SUNDAY
MORNING, TAPERING QUICKLY ACROSS EASTERN ELKO COUNTY IN THE
AFTERNOON. WARM GROUND AND QUICK MOVEMENT WILL ENSURE SNOW AMOUNTS
WILL BE LIGHT. 1-2 INCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS, WELL LESS THAN AN INCH
FOR SOME VALLEYS. ADDED A MENTION OF ISOLATED THUNDER FOR EASTERN
ELKO COUNTY SUNDAY AFTERNOON, AS GFS LIFTED INDEX SUGGESTS WEAK
INSTABILITY ALONG THE SURGING COLD FRONT BY MIDDAY. PRIMARY IMPACT
WILL AGAIN BE WIND, WITH WEST WINDS AVERAGING 20-30 MPH BEHIND
COLD FRONT PASSAGE. CURRENTLY BELIEVE GUSTS WILL MOSTLY BE NEAR
OR LESS THAN 40 MPH, SO OPTED NOT TO ISSUE ANOTHER WIND ADVISORY.
TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY MILDEST IN THE MORNING, NEAR 50, BEFORE
FALLING IN THE AFTERNOON.

MONDAY...DRY AND MILD, BREEZY AND PLEASANT. AIR REMAINS PACIFIC IN
ORIGIN, KEEPING HIGHS IN THE 50S. SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED CLOUD
COVER BEHIND DEPARTING SHORTWAVE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY, WITH
MUCH MORE SUN EXPECTED.

TURNER

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THE MODELS ARE IN VERY
GOOD AGREEMENT THIS MORNING. A COOL....PREDOMINANTLY UNSETTLED
PATTERN WILL CONTINUE PRIMARILY AFFECTING NORTHERN NEVADA.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED.
THE FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO BE ZONAL. WINDS ON THE HIGHER
TERRAIN WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE AHEAD OF AN INCOMING SHORTWAVE LOW.
LOW TEMPERATURES TUESDAY MORNING WILL GENERALLY BE AROUND 30 DEGREES.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BE
STRENGTHENING AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL WORK THERE WAY DOWN TO THE
SURFACE. SOME SHOWERS WILL BEGIN NEAR THE IDAHO AND OREGON BORDERS TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. A COLD FRONT WILL DEVELOP AND MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT
BASIN TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE FLOW IS FAST...VERY NEAR
ZONAL DEPICTED AT THIS TIME. IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET A QUICK 2-3
INCHES OF SNOW OUT OF THIS SYSTEM AS IT MOVES THROUGH WITH THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE EXPECTED IN THE ELKO AND SPRING CREEK AREAS AROUND
DAYBREAK. COULD POSE VERY FEW PROBLEMS CONSIDERING THE DEPTH OF THE
WAVE AND THE CARRY-OVER OF WARM ROAD TEMPERATURES FROM TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EXPECTED LOW TEMPERATURES ONLY AROUND FREEZING TUESDAY
NIGHT. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 50S TUESDAY...THEN
RANGE FROM THE MID 40S ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA TO THE MID 50S SOUTH
OF HIGHWAY 50. LOW TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL GENERALLY BE
AROUND 30 DEGREES.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. A COLD NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL BE
PERSISTENT AS WILL THE SHOWERS ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA. WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE BREEZY ACROSS NORTHEAST NEVADA AS SEVERAL SHORTWAVES
PEPPER THE LKN CWFA. ANY ONE OF THESE WAVE COULD DEVELOP...OUT OF
THE BLUE...TO BECOME A LITTLE DEEPER AND PROVIDE FOR WEAK COLD FRONT
DEVELOPMENT. THE SHORTWAVE ON THURSDAY LOOKS THE MOST PROMISING AT
THIS TIME...HOWEVER THE RAPID UPPER FLOW IS STILL INTACT. SO FOR
NOW...NOTHING SIGNIFICANT CAN BE ASCERTAINED FROM MODEL DATA. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 40S. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL
RANGE FROM THE TEENS TO THE MID 20S.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED AT KWMC KEKO KELY AND
KTPH THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. HOWEVER SURFACE WINDS WILL BE
INCREASING AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE STRONGEST WINDS
WILL AFFECT KWMC.

&&

.LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WIND ADVISORY FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 10 PM PST THIS EVENING
FOR HUMBOLDT COUNTY...NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY.
