AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
327 AM PST THU FEB 13 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
MILD TEMPERATURES AND BREEZY WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND.
STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY WITH A CHANCE
OF RAIN AND SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW IN THE NORTHERN SIERRA. A MUCH
COLDER SYSTEM MAY BRING A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW AND STRONG WINDS FOR
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
&&

.SHORT TERM...
IN THE SHORT TERM, BREEZY CONDITIONS WITH CONTINUED MILD, NEAR
RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE INTO THE START OF THE
WEEKEND. POTENTIAL FOR A STRONG DOWNSLOPING WIND EVENT WILL BE IN
PLACE SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AND A HIGH WIND WATCH HAS
BEEN POSTED.

CURRENTLY, A SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE PLUME IS PROVIDING RAINFALL
ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WITH LIGHT RAINFALL REACHING INTO
WESTERN LASSEN AND PLUMAS COUNTIES. FEW TENTHS OF AN INCH OF RAIN
ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE TODAY MAINLY ACROSS WESTERN LASSEN COUNTY
WITH LIGHTER AMOUNTS SOUTH ACROSS THE TAHOE BASIN. ANOTHER DAY OF
WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED TODAY AND AGAIN ON
FRIDAY. MANY WESTERN NEVADA VALLEYS WILL WARM INTO THE MID AND
UPPER 60S WITH SIERRA VALLEYS REACHING INTO THE UPPER 50S TO NEAR
60.

MODERATE BREEZES WILL BE IN PLACE TODAY WITH GUSTS GENERALLY IN THE
30-35 MPH RANGE ACROSS MUCH THE REGION WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH
CLOSER TO THE OREGON BORDER. ANOTHER JET SEGMENT WILL PUSH ACROSS
THE SIERRA TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY AND WILL PROVIDE STRONGER GUSTS BY
FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH 40-45 MPH GUSTS EXPECTED. THE MORE IMPRESSIVE
WIND EVENT LOOKS TO BE SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT AS AN UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES THE COAST AND DRIVES A 115KT
JET ACROSS THE SIERRA. MODELS SHOWING 700MB WINDS BETWEEN 60-70KTS
ACROSS THE TAHOE BASIN BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. MODEL CROSS SECTIONS
DEPICTING STABLE STRATIFICATION NEAR RIDGE LEVEL ALONG WITH
MINIMAL SHEER TO 500MB WHICH WOULD FAVOR VERTICAL WAVE PROPAGATION
AND GROWTH. NAM IS MORE PRONOUNCED WITH THIS FEATURE BUT STILL
PRESENT IN THE GFS NONETHELESS THE PAST FEW RUNS. HAVE ENOUGH
CONFIDENCE TO ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR SATURDAY FOR NORTHEASTERN
CALIFORNIA AND NORTHWEST NEVADA INCLUDING THE RENO/CARSON/MINDEN
REGION. THE WATCH ALSO INCLUDES MONO COUNTY BUT CONFIDENCE HERE IS
LOWER DUE TO DIFFERENCES IN THE STRENGTH OF THE JET BY THE TIME IT
DIPS SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA. WIND GUSTS REACHING 70 MPH ARE EASILY
POSSIBLE IN A DOWNSLOPE EVENT AND OVER 80 MPH IS POSSIBLE FOR WIND
PRONE AREAS.

AFTER THE WIND, THE NARROW MOISTURE PLUME WILL CROSS THE SIERRA
NEAR THE TAHOE BASIN EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. SNOW LEVELS WILL
QUICKLY DROP FROM OVER 8,000' TO NEAR 6,000' BY SUNDAY MORNING AS
COLDER AIR ALOFT ARRIVES WITH THE TROUGH. TRAVEL IMPACTS ACROSS
THE PASSES ARE POSSIBLE WITH 10-12 INCHES OF SNOWFALL POSSIBLE NEAR
THE CREST. WESTERN NEVADA WILL BE LARGELY SHADOWED OUT WITH A FEW
HUNDREDTHS OF RAIN ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE. FUENTES

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

LARGE LOW IN THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC WILL BE IN CONTROL OF THE PATTERN
THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.  THE CORE OF THE LOW WILL
TRACK TOWARD THE BRITISH COLUMBIA/PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST FOR MID
WEEK. THE LOW WILL PUSH THE JET FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TO
OVER RENO-TAHOE FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK BRINGING THE POTENTIAL
FOR A SIGNIFICANT SNOW EVENT IN THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA.
CONFIDENCE IS ALSO THERE FOR A SIGNIFICANT WIND EVENT TUESDAY AS
THE SYSTEM APPROACHES.

LATEST 00Z MODELS HAVE SHOWN A FASTER PROGRESSION OF THE INITIAL
WAVE, WITH RAIN AND SNOW POSSIBLE OVER THE NORTHERN SIERRA AND
NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA BY TUESDAY MORNING.  AS THE JET DROPS SOUTH
THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA WILL TRANSITION TO A COLDER AIR MASS
ALLOWING SNOW LEVELS TO EASILY DROP BELOW 6000 FEET BY TUESDAY
EVENING AND DOWN TO THE NEVADA VALLEY FLOORS BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE, MODELS VARY QUITE A BIT AS A RIDGE BEGINS TO
BUILD OVER THE CENTRAL PACIFIC, WHICH MIGHT PREVENT THE COLD CORE OF
THE LOW FROM DROPPING SOUTH OF 45N. THE ORIENTATION OF THE JET IS
MORE NORTHWEST TO SOUTHWEST WHICH IS LESS FAVORABLE FOR A PROLONGED
HEAVY SNOW EVENT IN THE SIERRA.  HOWEVER MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW
ADDITIONAL WAVES TRACKING ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND NORTHERN
NEVADA INTO THURSDAY. BRONG

&&

.AVIATION...

THE JET WILL REMAIN OVER SOUTHERN OREGON, SO SURFACE GUSTS OF 30-40
KTS, PERIODS OF STRONG RIDGE WINDS, MOUNTAIN WAVES AND TURBULENT
APPROACHES WILL PERSIST FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

AN AREA OF PRECIPITATION IS TRACKING ACROSS CALIFORNIA EARLY THIS
MORNING AND WILL IMPACT AREAS NORTH OF TRUCKEE TO FALLON. THIS
COULD LOWER CEILINGS TO MVFR WITH RAIN AS THE PRIMARY
PRECIPITATION TYPE.

THE JET WILL DIP SOUTH ON SATURDAY WITH STRONGER SURFACE WINDS OF
50-60KTS LIKELY FOR RENO-CARSON-MINDEN AND NORTHWARD TO THE OREGON
BORDER. THIS WILL ALSO BRING A PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN
AND SNOW WITH MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE FOR THE TAHOE
TERMINALS AFTER 00Z SUNDAY. BRONG
