AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
620 PM PST SAT DEC 26 2015

.SYNOPSIS...A COUPLE WEAK WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL BRING A FEW SNOW
SHOWERS TO THE SILVER STATE NEXT WEEK. OTHERWISE AN EXTENDED COLD
WEATHER PATTERN IS IN STORE.

&&

.UPDATE...LATEST OBSERVATION CAME IN AT -12F AT OUR COOP STATION
IN WILDHORSE. ALSO...CURRENT TEMPERATURES AT EUREKA AND ELKO ARE
EITHER BELOW ZERO AT THIS TIME OR GETTING CLOSE TO IT. THEREFORE...WENT
AHEAD AND DECREASED MORNING LOWS TOMORROW FOR MANY LOCALES IN
NORTHERN NEVADA. ALSO...WITH THE DROP IN FORECAST TEMPS...ISSUED A
WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTHEAST ZONES AS THE WIND SPEED IS
JUST OVER ADVISORY CRITERIA. TEXT PRODUCTS WILL BE OUT
SOON...GRIDS HAVE BEEN SENT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED AT 227 PM /

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. BIGGEST NEWS...VISIBLE
SATELLITE SHOWS VERY FEW CLOUDS OVER NEVADA WITH LOTS OF SNOW COVER.
WINDS ON THE LIGHT SIDE EXCEPT FOR CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEVADA AND
THEY ARE EXPECTED TO WANE OVERNIGHT. REASON FOR THE WIND THERE? A
1041 MB SURFACE CENTERED ON ELKO WITH SURFACE RIDGES EXTENDING INTO
SOUTHWEST NV AND WESTERN UT. THERE IS AN ATTENDANT TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT...FOR THE TIME BEING...OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN NV WHICH
IS DRIVING THE WINDS.

AS THE HIGH DRIFTS, WINDS WILL DIE DOWN AND DIRTY UPPER RIDGE WILL
MOVE IN AND WEAKEN SOME...THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON WHEN RIDGE AXIS
EXITS STATE. IT WILL BE REPLACED BY A PROACTIVE TROUGH ALONG THE
WEST COAST WHOSE ORIENTATION WILL KEEP A FRIGID NORTHERLY TRAJECTORY
INTO THE GREAT BASIN THROUGH THE SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD...ALONG
WITH SOME COLD MARINE AIR.

POPS RETURN TO THE REGION LATE SUNDAY AND CHANCES FOR SNOW EXTEND
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH TUESDAY. QPF IS NOT HIGH SO NOT
EXPECTING MUCH ADDED ACCUMULATION.

TEMPS...TONIGHT...FRIGID. COLDEST OF THE YEAR. DROPPED MINS DOWN
ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO 15 DEGREES DEPENDING ON SNOW COVER AND EXPECTED
CLOUD DEVELOPMENT. HUMBOLDT COUNTY WILL GET SOME CLOUDS SOONER THAN
ANYONE ELSE SO REDUCED THEIR SUNDAY MORNING MINS THE LEAST. WINDS
WILL KEEP WHITE PINE AND NORTHERN NYE FROM DROPPING RIGHT AWAY AFTER
SUNSET. NORTHERN LANDER/EUREKA AND ELKO COUNTIES WILL DROP FAST AND
HARD. SOME PLACES IN ELKO COUNTY WILL SEE -12 TO -20 FOR A LOW. MAY
BE A FEW SPOTS THAT HIT THE -20S TONIGHT.

CLOUDS WILL KEEP A STRONG WARMING OF MAX TEMPS FROM HAPPENING DURING
THE SHORT TERM PERIOD BUT WILL HAVE A DECIDEDLY DAMPING EFFECT ON
MIN TEMPS...KEEPING THEM FROM DROPPING TOO FAST...OR WARMING UP TOO
MUCH.

EXPECT SOME FREEZING FOG IN PATCHES TONIGHT ESPECIALLY IN VALLEYS
AND PLACES NEAR ANY MOISTURE SOURCE.

LAST...THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY WHICH EXPIRED SATURDAY MORNING WILL
NOT BE RE-ISSUED FOR SUNDAY MORNING DUE TO LIGHT WINDS. TEMPS WILL
BE FRIGID BUT WINDS AND WIND CHILLS WILL NOT MEET THE NATIONAL
CRITERIA. WILL PROBABLY ISSUE A SPS ON THE TEMPS NONETHELESS.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. THE LONGWAVE TROF
AXIS WILL BE OVER THE SPINE OF THE ROCKIES. EXPECTING THE 500 MB
HEIGHTS TO BUILD OVER CALIFORNIA...WITH SOME SHORT WAVE ENERGY
DIGGING BACK INTO THE GREAT BASIN...ALBEIT A VERY DRY
PERTURBATION. EXPECT A BLOCKING PATTERN TO SET UP. WITH SNOW PACK
IN PLACE OVER MOST OF THE VALLEYS...EXPECT A PROLONGED COLD SNAP
WITH HIGH TEMPS IN THE 20S. TEMPERATURES WILL RUN 12 TO 15F BELOW
NORMAL AT KEKO...KELY...AND KWMC.

AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE ENSUING 24 HR PERIOD.

&&

.LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WIND CHILL ADVISORY FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO 9 AM PST SUNDAY FOR
NORTHEASTERN NYE COUNTY-WHITE PINE COUNTY.

THE EXTREME COLD WILL NOT BE LIFE THREATENING IF YOU TAKE SOME
PRECAUTIONS. IT IS EASY TO GET SO COLD YOU START MAKING POOR
DECISIONS. IN EXTREME COLD...BRAIN FUNCTION SLOWS DOWN. THERE IS
LITTLE CHANCE FOR A STRONG WARMING TREND FOR A FEW DAYS. JUST BE
CAREFUL.

RESIDENTS ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA ARE URGED TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS
DUE TO THE EXTREME COLD. LIMIT YOUR OUTDOOR EXPOSURE TO A FEW
MINUTES TO AVOID FROSTBITE. IF HEATING YOUR HOUSE BY PROPANE
OR FUEL OIL...MAKE SURE YOUR TANKS ARE FULL. ENSURE VEHICLES ARE
WINTERIZED...HAVE A STRONG BATTERY...AND IF IT IS A DIESEL MAKE
SURE IT IS PLUGGED IN. DON'T FORGET YOUR PETS AND ANIMALS NEED
SHELTER TO ESCAPE THE COLD AND HAVE A FRESH WATER SUPPLY. IF
TRAVELING ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA...ENSURE YOU PACK A WINTER
SURVIVAL KIT.
