AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
331 AM PST THU FEB 27 2014

.SYNOPSIS...

THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF PACIFIC STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SNOW
TO THE SIERRA THROUGH THIS MORNING. ROAD RESTRICTIONS AND CHAIN
CONTROLS ARE IN EFFECT FOR AREA PASSES. AFTER A BRIEF LULL THIS
EVENING, ADDITIONAL STORMS WILL MOVE INTO THE WEST COAST FRIDAY
AND SOMETIME EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE NEXT STORM WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT
SNOW MAINLY TO MONO COUNTY BUT POSSIBLY FARTHER NORTH TO THE
SOUTHERN REACHES OF THE TAHOE BASIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM...

A FEW SIGNIFICANT ADJUSTMENTS WERE NECESSARY CONCERNING SNOW
TOTALS MAINLY FOR MONO COUNTY FOR THE FRIDAY TO SATURDAY STORM.
NAM, GFS, AND EC MODEL DEPICTIONS OF THE JET HAVE SHIFTED
NORTHWARD WITH A FAVORABLE ORIENTATION TO BRING SIGNIFICANT SNOW
TO AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 395 IN MONO COUNTY. SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS HAVE BEEN BUMPED UP BY ABOUT 25 PERCENT FOR THESE
AREAS WITH TOTALS RANGING FROM 4 TO 12 INCHES ALONG HIGHWAY 395
FROM CONWAY SUMMIT TO MAMMOTH AIRPORT AND FROM 15 TO 22 INCHES
ABOVE 7000 FEET. HIGHER TOTALS AROUND AND ABOVE 2 FEET WILL BE
POSSIBLE TOWARDS THE SIERRA CREST. ALSO, THERE IS ABOUT A 20
PERCENT CHANCE THAT THE LOWER REACHES OF THE TAHOE BASIN COULD SEE
SOME TOTALS HIGHER THAN CURRENTLY FORECASTED. HOWEVER, THIS FLOW
REGIME IS NOT AS FAVORABLE FOR THE TAHOE BASIN DUE TO A LOSS OF
UPSLOPING.

OTHERWISE, THE FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK. PRECIPITATION IS
STREAMING ACROSS THE SIERRA WITH EMBEDDED CONVECTIVE BANDS. SOME
SIERRA TOTALS AT AND ABOVE 7000 FEET HAVE EXCEEDED 5 INCHES;
PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE UNTIL LATE MORNING BECOMING
INCREASINGLY SPORADIC AS THE LOW MOVES INTO THE CALIFORNIA
INTERIOR. SNOW LEVELS MAY DROP BELOW 5000 FEET BRIEFLY AS MORE
INTENSE CONVECTIVE BANDS PRECEDE THE LOW.

ASIDE FROM THE DIFFERENT ORIENTATION OF THE JET, LITTLE HAS
CHANGED IN THE PRESENTATION OF THE NEXT SYSTEM AS IT TRACKS
THROUGH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. A WINTER WEATHER
WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MONO COUNTY. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SNOW
AMOUNTS COULD BE HIGHER FOR ALPINE COUNTY AND THE SOUTHERN REACHES
OF THE TAHOE BASIN WHERE THERE IS MORE UNCERTAINTY AND OVERALL
LOWER CONFIDENCE IN TOTAL LIQUID EQUIVALENT AMOUNTS. GENERALLY
HAVE LESS THAN 6 INCHES OF SNOW, BUT MAY NEED TO ADJUST SLIGHTLY
HIGHER TO ADVISORY IF THE 12Z MODEL RUNS COME IN A LITTLE WETTER.
BOYD

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

FEW CHANGES MADE TO THE LONG TERM WITH UNCERTAINTY REMAINING HIGH.
GFS/EC/GEFS CONTINUE TO SHOW DIFFERING SOLUTIONS WITH THE GEFS MEAN
A GOOD AVERAGE OF WHAT TO EXPECT. EC CONTINUES TO BE THE WETTEST
SOLUTION AND THE GFS DRIEST.

STILL EXPECT SOMEWHAT OF A BREAK SUN/SUN NIGHT ALTHOUGH A FEW
SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE IN THE SIERRA DUE TO MOIST UPSLOPE
FLOW. BOTH THE GFS/EC HAVE THE NEXT SYSTEM FOR LATE MONDAY/MONDAY
NIGHT, AND IT IS FAIRLY WEAK. GFS IS WEAKER THAN EC, BUT IT STILL
LOOKS LIKE THERE COULD BE A DECENT CHANCE OF LIGHT PRECIP NORTH OF
I-80. ANOTHER BREAK TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY BEFORE ANOTHER SYSTEM
APPROACHES FOR LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. GFS IS WEAKER THAN
PREVIOUS RUNS AS IS THE GEFS WHILE THE EC CONTINUES WITH A FAIRLY
STRONG SYSTEM. AT THIS POINT, WITH THE UNCERTAINTY, MADE FEW IF ANY
CHANGES.

THE ONE THING THAT DOES LOOK CERTAIN IS THAT THE REGION WILL BE IN A
WEAK MEAN RIDGE. THEREFORE EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO WARM SLOWLY AND
RISE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE BY MIDWEEK. SNOW LEVELS WILL ALSO
RISE, PERHAPS TO AROUND 6000-6500 FEET FOR THE MON-MON NIGHT SYSTEM
