AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
215 PM PDT MON JUN 1 2015

.SYNOPSIS...WARM AND DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED ACROSS NEVADA ON
TUESDAY...WITH TEMPERATURES TYPICAL OF EARLY JUNE. THE NEXT
DISTURBANCE WILL PRODUCE SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS MAINLY ELKO COUNTY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING IN CALIFORNIA WILL KEEP AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE FORECAST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM
THE PACIFIC WILL INCREASE RAIN ACROSS NEVADA NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

VIGOROUS TROUGH ROTATING THROUGH THE PAC NW THIS AFTERNOON, WITH
STRONG INSTABILITY AND DYNAMICS JUST CLIPPING NE NEVADA WITH A FEW
STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. INTENSE SUPERCELL NORTH OF MONTELLO SHOWED
ROTATION AND LARGE HAIL ON RADAR FOR A TIME, WITH ADDITIONAL
STORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE RUBY MOUNTAINS. INSTABILITY WANES
QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET, WITH ANY SHOWERS AND CUMULUS RAPIDLY
DISSIPATING. TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT TYPICAL OF EARLY JUNE.

TUESDAY...TROUGH PERSISTS OVER THE PAC NW, WITH WARM DRY SW FLOW
OVER NEVADA. VERY LITTLE IF ANY INSTABILITY TOMORROW, WITH NAM
FORECASTING POSITIVE LIFTED INDICES. LEFT AN ISOLATED AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORM MENTION ACROSS FAR NORTHERN NEVADA TO MATCH THE
NEIGHBORING WFOS, BUT THERE CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE MUCH. SW BREEZES
RAMP UP SOME TUESDAY AFTERNOON, AVERAGING 10-20 MPH, WITH A FEW
GUSTS OF 25-30 MPH, WITH THE WARM DRY SW FLOW ALOFT. AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES VERY NEAR EARLY JUNE NORMALS.

WEDNESDAY...TROUGH REMAINS ANCHORED OVER THE PAC NW, WITH THE NEXT
SHORTWAVE EMANATING FROM THIS TROUGH ENTERING NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
AT 5 AM WEDNESDAY. MODEL GUIDANCE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT THAT
TROUGH AXIS WILL ARRIVE IN NE NEVADA DURING THE AFTERNOON PEAK
HEATING HOURS, IGNITING ANOTHER ROUND OF SCATTERED CONVECTION
MAINLY ACROSS ELKO COUNTY. INCREASED POPS, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF ELKO COUNTY, WHERE CONVECTION WILL BE MOST
FAVORED. CAPE/SHEAR COMBINATION WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR STRONG TO
LOCALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ELKO COUNTY WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES AGAIN VERY NEAR EARLY JUNE NORMALS. TURNER

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY. MODELS COMING
INTO SOME AGREEMENT ON BRINGING ANOTHER TROUGH INTO THE REGION
WITH SUFFICIENT MOISTURE TO KEEP THINGS ON WET SIDE.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT STARTS WITH A BROAD TROUGH OVER THE WEST COAST AND
WESTERN INTERMOUNTAIN REGION ...BUT THE MAIN SOURCE OF RH FROM THE
NORTHEAST PACIFIC. SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY FOR SHOWERS...BUT MOSTLY
SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW CHANCE.

FROM THURSDAY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE LONG RANGE PERIOD...THE
TROUGH DIGS ALONG THE COAST AND CLOSES DRAMATICALLY. IT DOES NOT
DEEPEN APPRECIABLY...STAYING BETWEEN 565 AND 570 DM AT 500 MB...BUT
A DECENT RIDGE FORMS TO THE NORTHWEST....CREATING A QUASI-REX BLOCK
OVER THE WEST. THIS KEEPS THE LOW IN PLAY OVER THE GREAT BASIN.
HENCE...POPS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

THE REAL THING TO TALK ABOUT IS HURRICANES ANDRES AND BLANCA IN THE
EASTERN PACIFIC. THESE DIMINISH OVER TIME...BUT THEIR TROPICAL
MOISTURE GETS ENTRAINED INTO THE COASTAL LOW AND BROUGHT INTO
NEVADA. THE MAIN TRAJECTORY LOOKS AT THIS WRITING TO BE INTO WHITE
PINE COUNTY...BUT IT'S NOT DUE UNTIL ABOUT SUNDAY...SO AM KEEPING AN
OPEN MIND. KEPT POPS IN ALL WEEK...ON THE LOW SIDE...BUT KEEPS A
MENTION OF PRECIP/STORMS.

TEMPS COOL OFF UNDER THE TROUGH FOR A NICE LATE SPRING WEEK. BB

&&

.AVIATION...EXPECTING SOME VCSH/VCTS AT KEKO THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...WITH MAINLY MIDDLE LEVEL CIGS AT KELY. KWMC AND KTPH ARE
MAINLY IN THE DRIER AIR TO THE WEST. WINDS COULD GUST INTO THE MID
20 KNOT RANGE AT ALL FIELDS...WITH HIGHER VARIABLE GUSTS NEAR THE
STORMS AROUND KEKO. THIS ALL TAPERS OFF AFTER SUNSET. VFR AT ALL
SITES WILL DOMINATE THROUGH THE PERIOD. A FEW BUILDUPS MIGHT OCCUR
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AROUND KEKO AND KWMC. BB

&&

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