AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
410 AM PDT MON JUN 1 2015

.SYNOPSIS...THERE WILL BE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY ACROSS
NORTHERN NEVADA THROUGH THURSDAY. TROPICAL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO
FLOW INTO THE GREAT BASIN FROM THE SOUTH LATE IN THE WEEK FOR AN
INCREASED CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. PERIODS OF HEAVY
RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.UPDATE...A LITTLE MORE CONVECTIVE THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT EARLY
THIS MORNING. A VERY ACTIVE CELL HAS DEVELOPED SW OF BATTLE
MOUNTAIN HEADED NE. CELL COINCIDES WITH KINK IN THE JET FLOW ALOFT
AND LEADING 60KT JET CORE DEFINING THE SHORTWAVE AXIS. UPDATED TO
STRETCH ISOLATED SHOWERS FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST TO COVER MOST OF
LANDER AND EUREKA COUNTIES FOR THE MORNING HOURS. ALSO ADDED
THUNDERSTORM WORDING THIS MORNING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED AT 251 AM /

SYNOPSIS...THERE WILL BE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY ACROSS
NORTHERN NEVADA THROUGH THURSDAY. TROPICAL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO
FLOW INTO THE GREAT BASIN FROM THE SOUTH LATE IN THE WEEK FOR AN
INCREASED CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. PERIODS OF HEAVY
RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE NEXT WEEKEND.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY. WITH THE CURRENT RIDGE
CENTERED JUST EAST OF THE 4-CORNERS AREA OF THE COUNTRY AND A
NEGATIVE-TILT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING INTO NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA AT THIS TIME...A COUPLE LINES OF SHOWERS HAVE
DEVELOPED OVER WESTERN NEVADA UNDER THE DIFFLUENT AREA ALOFT. ONE
LINE IS TRAINING THROUGH WINNEMUCCA AND A SECOND ONE THROUGH
BATTLE MOUNTAIN. APPARENTLY NOT MUCH PRECIPITATION IS REACHING THE
GROUND AS THE LOWER LAYERS HAVE DRIED OUT OVER THE PAST COUPLE
DAYS. LOW PRESSURE WILL BRING A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
PRIMARILY NORTHERN NEVADA IN A COOLER REGIME AS IT MOVES THROUGH
THE GREAT BASIN.

TODAY THROUGH THIS EVENING. A FAIRLY ROBUST SHORT WAVE LOBE AXIS
WILL PASS THROUGH THE CWFA TODAY. SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP MAINLY NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 DURING THE
AFTERNOON THEN TAPER OFF SOUTH TO NORTH IN THE EVENING...TRAILING
THE AXIS. BREEZY CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED IN SOME LOCALES TODAY
AS THIS FEATURE MOVES THROUGH.

MIDNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. AS THE SHORT WAVE EXITS WELL TO
THE NORTH...THE LKN CWFA WILL BE UNDER A QUASI-ZONAL FLOW ALOFT.
THUS THIS WILL BE A RELATIVELY CALM PERIOD. THERE MAY BE STILL BE A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP NEAR THE OR/ID BORDERS.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. A RETURN TO A WETTER
PATTERN FOR THE LONG TERM SEEMS LIKELY. MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD
AGREEMENT...WITH THE EURO COMING INTO LINE WITH THE GFS THIS
EVENING.

ON WEDNESDAY...THINGS WILL START TO LOOK INTERESTING FOR CONVECTION.
POTENT SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA...COINCIDING WITH
PEAK HEATING. MODEST MOISTURE WILL YIELD CAPE IN THE 500-1000 J/KG
RANGE...WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OF 20-40 KNOTS. A MODEST JET WILL ALSO
BE IN PLACE ACROSS NORTHEASTERN NEVADA. THIS COULD ALLOW FOR SOME
STRONG STORMS. THIS WILL NEED WATCHING...AS MODELS HAVE TRENDED THIS
FURTHER WEST AND ALONG THE I80 CORRIDOR.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...FLOW TURNS SOUTHERLY AS OUR NEXT WEATHER MAKER
BEGINS TO MOVE IN. MODELS HAVE AN UPPER LEVEL LOW AROUND SAN FRAN
THURSDAY EVENING. THIS WILL BEGIN TO ADVECT MOISTURE INTO THE GREAT
BASIN. INTERESTING TO NOTE...THAT TROPICAL MOISTURE COULD BE
ADVECTED NORTHWARD WITH NEAR RECORD PWAT VALUES. THIS WILL NEED TO
BE WATCHED THE NEXT FEW DAYS. COULD PROVIDE EFFICIENT
SHOWERS/STORMS.

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...MODELS START TO DIVERGE ON PLACEMENT OF
THE LOW. EURO HAS THE LOW OVER SO CAL...WHILE THE GFS IS OFF THE SW
CALI COAST. REGARDLESS...SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA
FROM THE SOUTH WITH INCREASING MOISTURE. GFS SHOWS A WELL NOTED
TROPICAL CONNECTION...WHILE THE EURO DOES NOT QUITE TAP INTO THAT.
THIS IS A TRICKY SITUATION...SINCE THIS RELIES ON THE POSSIBLE
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF "BLANCA" AND THE MOISTURE BEING ADVECTED FROM
THE TROPICAL SYSTEM. THE ENSEMBLE SUPPORT IS ABOVE AVERAGE AT THIS
TIME...SO BUMPED UP POPS QUITE A BIT...BUT DID NOT GET TOO AGGRESSIVE
UNTIL BETTER AGREEMENT CAN BE ACHIEVED.

AVIATION...VFR EXPECTED AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
HAD SOME VCSH/-SHRA AT KWMC EARLIER THIS EVENING...BUT THAT IS
SHIFTING EAST. THIS ACTIVITY IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTS TO 30
KNOTS. DECIDED TO ADD A PERIOD OF VCSH AT KEKO THROUGH THIS
MORNING. COULD BE AN OUTSIDE SHOT AT VCHS/VCTS AT KEKO TODAY (MON)
AFTERNOON...BUT THAT IS LESS THAN 15%.

&&

.LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
