AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
320 AM PST WED DEC 9 2015

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH THROUGH NORTHERN
NEVADA AND BECOME STATIONARY FROM HUMBOLDT COUNTY TO NORTHERN
WHITE PINE COUNTY THIS EVENING. THIS FRONT RETURNS NORTH AS A
WARM FRONT LATER TONIGHT BEFORE A MUCH STRONGER COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEVADA THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY
EVENING. MUCH COLDER AIR WITH SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. UNSETTLED WEATHER CONTINUES AS ANOTHER SNOW EVENT MAY
IMPACT THE REGION LATE SUNDAY INTO NEXT MONDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THE SHORT TERM GUIDANCE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT FEATURING RAPID CHANGES TAKING PLACE ACROSS THE
GREAT BASIN THROUGH FRIDAY.

TODAY...A WEAK COLD FRONT ENTERS INTO HUMBOLDT AND ELKO COUNTIES
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR IN ADVANCE OF THE
COLD FRONT...ISENTROPIC LIFT ALONG THE 295 K SURFACE INDICATE ONLY
MARGINAL UPGLIDE IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY...HOWEVER SLIGHTLY BETTER
UPGLIDE IS AVAILABLE IN ELKO COUNTY WHERE THE BETTER THREAT FOR
SHOWERS/QPF IS FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON. SNOW LEVELS ABOVE 8000
FEET THIS MORNING WILL LOWER TO AROUND 7000 FEET THIS AFTERNOON.
SOME OF THE HIGHEST TERRAIN ACROSS NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY MAY MIX
AND CHANGE TO SNOW WITH LITTLE IN ANY ACCUMUALTION.

TONIGHT...THE ABOVE MENTIONED WEAK COLD FRONT BECOMES NEARLY
STATIONARY FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST /HUMBOLDT COUNTY TO
NORTHERN WHITE PINE/ COUNTY THIS EVENING. THIS FRONT LIFTS NORTH
WITH OVERRUNNING PRECIPITATION BEGINNING ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA
TOWARD DAYBREAK THURSDAY MORNING.

THURSDAY...MUCH STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL CHANGE MORNING RAIN
TO SNOW ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA THURSDAY AFTERNOON. H7
TEMPERATURES PLUMMET TO MINUS 9 DEG C ACROSS THE NORTH WITH
ACCUMULATING SNOW ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY WHERE A
WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT. AS THE FRONT SLOWLY SINKS
SOUTHEAST...POWERFUL SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL MIX TO THE SURFACE IN
ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT IN CENTRAL NEVADA. POTENTIAL WIND GUSTS
TO 60 MPH MAY AFFECT AN AREA FROM SOUTHERN LANDER/EUREKA/NORTHERN
NYE COUNTIES INTO WHITE PINE COUNTY WHERE A HIGH WIND WATCH IS IN
EFFECT FOR THURSDAY.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...STRONG WINDS FOR CENTRAL NEVADA
AND ACCUMULATING SNOW FOR NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY DIMINISHES EARLY
THURSDAY EVENING. A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PROVIDE CHILLY
CONDITIONS WITH SNOW SHOWERS LATER THURSDAY NIGHT THOUGH FRIDAY.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY.

5-WAVE PATTERN INDICATES THAT THE LONG WAVE TROF WILL OVERHEAD OR IN
THE VICINITY FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD SO ACTIVE WEATHER IS EXPECTED.
THIS MEANS ABOVE AVERAGE PRECIP AND AVERAGE TO BELOW AVERAGE TEMPS.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE IN
NORTHEASTERN NV BEFORE A POSITIVE TILT SHORTWAVE RIDGE BRIEFLY
BUILDS IN AND KEEP MOST AREAS DRY SATURDAY BEFORE A WARM FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH FRONTAL SYSTEM OFF THE WEST COAST SLIDES EAST ACROSS
NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON.  STRONG ISENTROPIC
LIFT WILL PRODUCE ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS THIS AREA BEFORE THE WARM
FRONT LIFTS JUST NORTH OF THE STATE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. QPF
AMOUNTS ARE QUITE IMPRESSIVE IN NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY FROM 00-12Z
SUNDAY...SO AT LEAST A WINTER WEATHER ADV OR WINTER STORM WARNING IS
LIKELY FOR AT LEAST THIS AREA...POSSIBLY FOR OTHER NORTHEASTERN
LOCATIONS AS WELL.  DUE TO THE WARM FRONT...SNOW LEVELS RISE SO THIS
COULD LIMIT THE SNOW AMOUNTS IN THE VALLEYS BELOW 6500FT.  HIGH
TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 30S AND 40S AS 500MB HEIGHTS NUDGE
UPWARD.

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...THE FRONTAL SYSTEM MENTIONED ABOVE
SLAMS INTO THE PACNW BEFORE DIVING TO THE SOUTHEAST.  THERE ARE
STILL SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES BUT ALL DRIVE THE COLD FRONT THROUGH
THE AREA LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON TO SUNDAY NIGHT...AND FINALLY EXITING
THE CWA MONDAY MORNING.  HEADLINES ARE LIKELY FOR THIS EVENT AS MOST
OF THE PRECIP SHOULD BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW WITH WIDESPREAD
ACCUMULATION.  ADDITIONALLY...VERY STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS ARE ALSO
EXPECTED PRE AND POST-FRONTAL SO WIND HEADLINES ARE ALSO LIKELY ON
SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY.  POST FRONTAL SHOWERS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH
MONDAY EVENING BEFORE THE 500MB SHORTWAVE TROF AXIS EXISTS INTO UTAH
MONDAY EVENING.  TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE 30S AND
POSSIBLE 40S SUNDAY WITH 20S AND 30S MONDAY AS 500MB HEIGHTS DROP TO
THE 535-540DM RANGE.  OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD REMAIN IN 20S SUNDAY AND
MONDAY MORNING.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...SOME INDICATIONS THAT ANOTHER WEAK
SHORTWAVE WILL DIG SOUTH OVER THE AREA INTO THE BASE OF THE 500MB
TROF (AXIS OVER UTAH) UNDER THE NORTHERN FLOW ALOFT.  THIS IS TO BE
EXPECTED UNDER THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT SO LOW END POPS ARE
WARRANTED...PRIMARILY IN EASTERN NV IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN. NO
SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATION EXPECTED FROM THIS SHOWER ACTIVITY.  TEMPS
SHOULD BE MAINLY IN THE 20S AND 30S WITH A FEW 40S POSSIBLE OUT WEST
AS 500MB HEIGHTS NUDGED CLOSER TO 550DM LEVEL.  TUESDAY MORNING LOWS
DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE AND BELOW ZERO...ESPECIALLY WHERE
SKIES CLEAR OUT.

WEDNESDAY...MODELS DIFFERENCE CREEP BACK INTO THE PICTURE BUT THAT'S
TYPICALLY THIS FAR OUT.  WHILE THE GFS BUILD A WEAK AND 500MB SHORT
WAVE RIDGE...THE EC DIGS ANOTHER 500MB TROF FROM THE PACIFIC NW INTO
THE CWA. SINCE THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN ALSO INDICATES A 500MB
SHORTWAVE (MUCH WEAKER THAN THE EC) PASSES THROUGH WENT AHEAD AND
PLACE SOME LOW END POPS IN NEAR THE ID/ND BORDER.  THIS ALSO LEADS
TO SIGNIFICANT 500MB HEIGHT DIFFERENCES SO WENT WITH A BLEND OF
MODEL FOR HIGH TEMPS...WHICH MEANS MOSTLY 30S ALTHOUGH 20S ARE
LIKELY IF OR WHERE THE INVERSION FORMS.  ONCE AGAIN COLD MORNING
LOWS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY WITH AT OR BELOW ZERO READINGS AT MANY
LOCATIONS.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED NEXT 24HRS; HOWEVER WINDS ARE
EXPECT TO INCREASE AT ALL LOCATIONS AND CIGS LOWER. A SHOWER IS ALSO
POSSIBLE AT OR NEAR KEKO AND KWMC DUE TO WARM FRONT LIFTING
NORTHWARD...THOUGH CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH AT THIS TIME (ADDED SIMPLY
VCSH). SOUTHERLY WINDS REALLY START CRANKING AT KWMC TOWARDS THE END
OF THE PERIOD (THU AM) AS THE COLD FRONT NEARS.

&&

.LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WINTER STORM WATCH FROM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY
AFTERNOON FOR NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY.

HIGH WIND WATCH FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING FOR
NORTHEASTERN NYE COUNTY-NORTHWESTERN NYE COUNTY-SOUTHERN LANDER
