AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
350 AM PST WED DEC 10 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM IS EXPECTED THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. STRONG
DAMAGING WINDS ARE LIKELY THURSDAY WITH WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SNOW
THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY. TRAVEL IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED WITH
THIS SYSTEM DUE TO THE WIND AND SNOW. A BRIEF BREAK IS EXPECTED THIS
WEEKEND WITH UNSETTLED WEATHER RETURNING NEXT WEEK.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
A STRONG WINTER STORM THAT IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE SIERRA AND
WESTERN NEVADA EARLY THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. MAIN CHANGES TO THE
FORECAST WERE TO UPGRADE WINTER STORM WATCHES ALONG THE SIERRA TO
WINTER STORM WARNINGS. ALSO ISSUED WIND ADVISORIES FOR PERSHING,
CHURCHILL, SOUTHERN LYON, AND MINERAL COUNTIES.
**WINDS**
STRONG AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WINDS WILL BEGIN LATE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. HIGH WIND WARNINGS ARE IN PLACE ACROSS THE
SIERRA AND PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEVADA THROUGH THE SIERRA FRONT WHICH
INCLUDES RENO/CARSON/MINDEN AREA. A STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT
ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS ALOFT AND DOWNSLOPE ENHANCEMENT WILL MAKE
THESE AREAS MOST FAVORABLE TO SEE THE STRONGEST WINDS. WIDESPREAD
WIND GUSTS OF 60-75 MPH GUSTS ARE EXPECTED ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES
AND WESTERN NEVADA ALONG THE HWY 395/I580 CORRIDOR. WIND PRONE AREAS
COULD EASILY REACH GUSTS UP TO 80-90 MPH. FARTHER EAST ACROSS
PERSHING, CHURCHILL, AND MINERAL COUNTIES HAVE ISSUED A WIND
ADVISORY BEGINNING EARLY THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.
WINDS WILL BE ALSO BE STRONG IN THESE AREAS WITH WIDESPREAD GUSTS UP
TO 55 MPH EXPECTED. AREAS OF BLOWING DUST WILL BE AN ISSUE
ESPECIALLY WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS TRANSPORTING DUST FROM THE CARSON
SINK NORTHWARD ACROSS INTERSTATE 80. DRIVERS MAY ENCOUNTER
SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS TO VISIBILITY.
DANGEROUS BOATING CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS AREAS LAKES WITH
FORECAST WAVE HEIGHTS UP TO 6-7 FEET ON LAKE TAHOE AND UP TO 5 FEET
ON PYRAMID LAKE. HAZARDOUS TRAVEL IS LIKELY FOR HIGH PROFILE
VEHICLES ENCOUNTERING CROSS WINDS WITH TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS LIKELY.
WINDS WILL START TO DIMINISH LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON BUT REMAIN
GUSTY UNTIL THE PASSAGE OF A SURFACE COLD FRONT. WINDS WILL CONTINUE
TO SLOWLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT WITH LIGHTER WINDS
FRIDAY.
**PRECIPITATION**
HAVE UPGRADED THE WINTER STORM WATCHES ACROSS THE SIERRA TO WINTER
STORM WARNINGS AND HAVE ALSO INCLUDED EASTERN SIERRA COUNTY
NORTHWARD THROUGH LASSEN COUNTY IN THE WINTER STORM WARNING FOR
AREAS ABOVE 5,000 FEET. PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN LATE THURSDAY
MORNING ACROSS LASSEN COUNTY THEN SPREAD SOUTH AND EAST ACROSS THE
TAHOE BASIN THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.
HAVE DELAYED THE ONSET OF THE PRECIPITATION A BIT AS BOTH THE EC AND
GFS HAVE BEEN DIGGING THE LOW ACROSS THE EASTERN PACIFIC OVER THE
PAST FEW RUNS. THIS IS BEGINNING TO ORIENT THE JET MORE SOUTHERLY
AND AS A RESULT HAS BEEN DECREASING THE AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION
ACCUMULATING ON THE EASTERN SIERRA BY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS AT THAT IN
THE GFS WITH THE EC TRENDING DRIER AS WELL. WILL NOT LOWER EXPECTED
AMOUNTS AS DRASTICALLY AS THE GFS BUT HAVE TRENDED A BIT LOWER.
OVERALL SNOWFALL OF 1.5-2.5 FEET ALONG THE SIERRA NEAR THE TAHOE
BASIN IS EXPECTED WITH LOCALIZED AREAS NEAR 3 FEET POSSIBLE. AT
LAKE LEVEL, 7-14 INCHES IS POSSIBLE. FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS MONO
COUNTY 1-2 FEET EXPECTED IN THE SIERRA WITH UP TO 2.5 FEET POSSIBLE
ALONG THE CREST. LOWER ELEVATIONS ALONG THE 395 CORRIDOR DOWN TO
6,000 FEET COULD SEE 6 INCHES IN MONO COUNTY. SEE THE LATEST WINTER
WEATHER STATEMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
INTO WESTERN NEVADA, LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS UP TO 2 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE
ABOVE 5000-5500 FEET FRIDAY MORNING AS THE PRECIPITATION ENDS.
LARGELY EXPECTING RAINFALL BELOW 5,000 FEET IN WESTERN NEVADA WITH
1/3 TO 2/3 INCH EXPECTED ALONG THE SIERRA FRONT WITH UP TO AN INCH
IN THE FOOTHILLS. EASTWARD ACROSS THE BASIN AND RANGE UP TO A
QUARTER OF AN INCH OF RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE. FUENTES
.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
A FEW MINOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST THIS
CYCLE...MAINLY TO ADJUST POPS IN THE DAY 6/7 TIME FRAME. OVERALL THE
PATTERN HAS CHANGED LITTLE FOR THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.
SHORT WAVE RIDGE BUILDS BRIEFLY OVER THE FORECAST AREA LATE SATURDAY
INTO SUNDAY. THERE COULD BE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS EARLY
SATURDAY...BUT THESE WILL DISSIPATE THROUGH THE DAY. HIGH TEMPS
REMAIN AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE AS MIXING IS MINIMIZED.
THE NEXT SYSTEM IS SHOWN PUSHING INTO THE WEST COAST BY MONDAY
MORNING. THIS TROUGH IS FAIRLY STRETCHED OUT AND THERE REMAIN SOME
INCONSISTENCIES AMONGST THE MODELS WITH REGARD TO TIMING OF THIS
SYSTEM. GEM IS ACTUALLY THE FASTEST BRINGING PCPN INTO THE WESTERN
PART OF THE CWA MONDAY MORNING FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY THE GFS. THE
ECMWF HOLDS OFF THE PCPN UNTIL LATER IN THE DAY. GIVEN DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS...WE DECIDED NOT TO SPEED UP THE TIMING
BUT DID BUMP UP POPS THROUGH THE DAY FOR WESTERN PARTS OF THE CWA.
SNOW LEVELS ARE LIKELY TO START LOWER WITH THIS SYSTEM GIVEN THE
AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL COOL AIR IN PLACE AT THE ONSET OF THE PCPN.
A SECONDARY SHORT WAVE ROTATES THROUGH THE BASE OF THE MAIN TROUGH
FOR TUESDAY KEEPING AT LEAST CHANCE POPS IN PLACE OVER THE WESTERN
AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE CWA. AT THIS POINT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT
TO GET TIMING CORRECT FOR A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES THIS FAR OUT IN
THE FORECAST...SO WE HAVE KEPT SORT OF A BROAD BRUSHED AREA OF
SLIGHT TO CHANCE POPS FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. PRESENCE OF
CLOUDS AND PCPN KEEP HIGH TEMPS AT OR BELOW AVERAGE FOR BOTH DAYS. 20
&&
.AVIATION...
FREEZING FOG HAS DEVELOPED AT KTRK THIS MORNING. THIS FOG SHOULD
LIFT OUT THROUGH THE DAY WITH VFR CONDITIONS DEVELOPING FOR THE
ENTIRE REGION THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING. AFTER MIDNIGHT PCPN SHOULD
BEGIN MOVING INTO THE FAR NORTHEAST PORTIONS OF CA. THIS WILL START
THE PROCESS OF DRIVING CIGS INTO THE MVFR RANGE BEFORE MORE
WIDESPREAD RAIN AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOW PRODUCES IFR CONDITIONS
NORTH OF TAHOE BY THURSDAY MIDDAY. PCPN SPREADS SOUTH AND EAST
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AND CHANGES TO
SNOW RATHER QUICKLY ABOVE 5500 FEET THURSDAY EVENING. WIDESPREAD IFR
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY FOR THE SIERRA...NORTHEAST CA AND FAR
NORTHWEST NV STARTING THURSDAY EVENING. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ON SIERRA
RUNWAYS IN THE 6 TO 12 INCH ARE POSSIBLE BY THE TIME THE SNOW TAPERS
OFF FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
WINDS ARE JUST AS MUCH A HAZARD IN THIS STORM...IF NOT MORE SO...
THAN THE PCPN. WINDS INCREASE BELOW 10K FT STARTING LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...THEN CLOSER TO THE SFC BY LATE TONIGHT. IT IS NOT OUT OF
THE QUESTION TO SEE SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE 25-40 KT RANGE FOR MANY
TERMINALS BY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING WITH GUSTS IN THE 50-65 KT
RANGE. OFF THE SURFACE...WINDS INCREASE TO 70-85 KTS OVER THE SIERRA
WITH MUCH STRONGER GUSTS. PEAK WINDS SHOULD OCCUR IN THE 11/08 UTC
TO 11/18 UTC TIME FRAME. THESE VERY STRONG WINDS ARE UNIDIRECTIONAL
SO DIRECTIONAL SHEAR IN THE LOW LEVELS WILL NOT BE AS A MUCH A
CONCERN...BUT THERE COULD BE SPEED SHEAR IN THE LOWER 4-5K FT LAYER.
SIGNIFICANT TURBULENCE IS LIKELY ALONG AND EAST OF THE SIERRA WITH
THE SYSTEM GIVEN THESE VERY STRONG WINDS. 20
