AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
529 AM PST MON DEC 1 2014

.UPDATE...
SOME FREEZING FOG HAS BEEN FORMING AROUND I-80 IN WESTERN NEVADA
FROM FERNLEY OUT TO LOVELOCK. UPDATED TO ADD PATCHY FREEZING FOG
TO THIS AREA THAT SHOULD LAST UNTIL MID-MORNING. AT THIS POINT, IT
IS DIFFICULT TO SAY HOW WIDESPREAD IT IS SO WILL NOT ISSUE AN
ADVISORY. WALLMANN

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 326 AM PST MON DEC 1 2014/

SYNOPSIS...

AFTER A LULL IN WEATHER ACTIVITY TODAY, UNSETTLED CONDITIONS
WILL RETURN THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK WITH PERIODS OF
VALLEY RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW. WINTER CONDITIONS WILL IMPACT
TRAVEL ACROSS SIERRA PASSES FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
THURSDAY AS A DEEP SYSTEM PUSHES ONSHORE OUT OF THE PACIFIC.

SHORT TERM...

THE SYSTEM THAT PUSHED THROUGH THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND HAS
LIFTED NORTHWARD. WEAK RIDGING AHEAD OF THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE WILL
KEEP CONDITIONS DRY TODAY BEFORE BREAKING DOWN TUESDAY. THIS
RIDGING WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES ACROSS SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA
VALLEYS WILL REBOUND INTO THE LOW 50S TODAY AS GENERALLY LIGHT FLOW
BECOMES SOUTHERLY. AS TEMPERATURES WARM, SNOW LEVELS WILL BEGIN TO
RISE UP TO ABOUT 8000 FEET.

DEPICTIONS OF THE MID-WEEK SYSTEM IN SHORT TO MID-RANGE MODELS
HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT LEADING UP TO THE LATEST MODEL RUNS.
HOWEVER, THE LAST 2 RUNS OF THE NAM/GFS/ECMWF ALL SHOW THE SYSTEM
MOVING INTO THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA IN TWO DISTINCT WAVES.
THEREFORE, IT WAS NECESSARY TO MAKE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON
THESE LATEST TRENDS. WE ENDED UP SPLITTING THE PRECIPITATION
FIELDS BASED ON THE MODEL GUIDANCE BRINGING THE FIRST WAVE INTO
THE SIERRA BY NOON ON TUESDAY OVERSPREADING WESTERN NEVADA TUESDAY
EVENING UNTIL A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT VERY EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING. AFTER THIS POINT, WESTERN NEVADA BECOMES MORE SHADOWED
WHILE THE FOCUS OF THE WAVE SHIFTS FROM MONO/TAHOE NORTHWARD TO
THE TAHOE/LASSEN AREA. THE NEXT SURGE BEGINS WEDNESDAY EARLY
AFTERNOON WITH THE UPPER LOW AND CONTINUES INTO THURSDAY MORNING
WHILE REMAINING FOCUSED FROM THE TAHOE BASIN NORTHWARD.

THERE WILL BE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH SNOW LEVEL AS THE PAST WEEKEND'S
STORM. ATMOSPHERIC PROFILES APPEAR TO BE ISOTHERMAL, AND WILL TAKE
A FEW HOURS TO COOL SNOW LEVELS DOWN TO AROUND 6500/7000 FEET. IT
COULD BE POSSIBLE TO WET-BULB DOWN TO LAKE TAHOE LEVEL, BUT THAT
WILL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH WE DRY TODAY. THE MORE LIKELY SCENARIO
WILL BE FOR SNOW LEVELS TO MOSTLY HANG-UP AROUND 7000 FEET WITH
MIXED PRECIPITATION DOWN TO LAKE LEVEL RESULTING IN VERY LITTLE
SNOW ACCUMULATION. IT IS A DIFFERENT STORY ABOVE 7000 FEET WHERE
THE PROFILE SHOULD BE AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW FREEZING. WITH LIQUID
TOTALS UPWARDS OF 1.5-2.25 INCHES ABOVE 7000 FEET, SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
COULD REACH 18 INCHES TO 2 FEET WITH LOCALLY HIGHER TOTALS TOWARDS
THE CREST. THIS WILL BE MAINLY FOR THE TAHOE BASIN AND ALPINE
COUNTY WHERE THE MOST MOISTURE WILL BE DIRECTED. A WINTER STORM
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE SNOW TOTALS.

NORTHWARD IN LASSEN/PLUMAS COUNTIES, SNOW LEVELS WILL GENERALLY BE
TOO HIGH TO WARRANT A WATCH AT THIS TIME EVEN THOUGH LIQUID TOTALS
WILL RANGE FROM 1-1.75 INCHES. ADDITIONALLY, 10-15 INCHES COULD
ACCUMULATE ABOVE 8000 FEET IN MONO COUNTY MAINLY FALLING IN THE
FIRST WAVE. MONO COUNTY HAS BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE WATCH DUE TO THE
EXTENDED DURATION OF ACCUMULATION OF THESE LOWER TOTALS. STORM
TOTAL LIQUID EQUIVALENTS TAPER QUICKLY OUT OF THE SIERRA INTO THE
GREAT BASIN WHERE 0.25-0.5" IS CURRENTLY EXPECTED. BOYD

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

FEW CHANGES MADE TO THE LONG TERM WITH SPLIT FLOW DEVELOPING IN THE
SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA WITH A MEAN RIDGE OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN
WEST. THURSDAY, UPSLOPE FLOW WILL CONTINUE IN THE WAKE OF THE UPPER
LOW WITH SOME SHOWERS IN THE NORTHERN SIERRA, BUT MORE ISOLATED IN
WESTERN NEVADA. THESE SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT.

FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND, THE SPLIT FLOW WILL BE NOTICEABLE AS THE
MAIN POLAR JET RIDES NORTH INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA. THE WEAKER
SOUTHERN STREAM WILL BE ALONG THE MEXICAN BORDER. AS A RESULT,
SYSTEMS WILL SPLIT APART AND LARGELY LEAVE THE AREA DRY. IT LOOKS TO
BE A 'DIRTY' FLOW WITH ABUNDANT MID AND HIGH CLOUD COVER, BUT LITTLE
IN THE WAY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND FORCING FOR ANY PRECIP WHILE
WINDS REMAINS LIGHT.

TEMPERATURES LOOK TO AVERAGE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE
PERIOD. THE CLOUD COVER WILL PERMIT MILD OVERNIGHT LOWS A FEW
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL. LIGHT
WINDS WILL ALSO RESULT IN LITTLE MIXING WITH WEAK LOW LEVEL
INVERSIONS LIKELY IN WESTERN NEVADA. WALLMANN

AVIATION...

SOME MVFR/IFR CIGS IN THE EASTERN SIERRA AND EXTREME WRN NV THIS
MORNING. MAIN TERMINALS AFFECTED ARE KTVL/KTRK/KCXP. EXPECT SOME
GRADUAL CLEARING AFT 17Z AS WINDS ALOFT BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY AND
BRING IN DRIER AIR. STILL EXPECT OCNL MVFR CIGS IN THE SIERRA AROUND
TAHOE THRU 12Z TUE. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT OVERALL AT THE SFC INTO
TUESDAY AS WELL.

NEXT STORM LOOKS TO BE SIGNIFICANT BEGINNING 18Z TUE AND LASTING
THROUGH 12Z THU. PERIODS OF IFR CONDS IN THE SIERRA WITH -RA/SN
DURING THIS TIME. FOR WRN NV, OCNL MVFR CONDS IN -RA MORE FROM 12Z
WED THRU 06Z THU. AT THIS TIME, SNOW LEVELS LOOK HIGH ENOUGH FOR
LITTLE IN THE WAY OF SNOW ACCUMULATION AT THE MAJOR TERMINALS WITH
THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF KMMH WEDNESDAY MORNING. WALLMANN
