Area forecast discussion, Feb 6, 3:00 PM PST, 2 hours 11 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
300 PM PST FRI FEB 6 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG PACIFIC STORM WILL AFFECT THE REGION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
DAYS WITH VERY STRONG WINDS THROUGH TONIGHT. HEAVY RAIN AND HIGH
ELEVATION SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD THROUGH THE SIERRA TONIGHT
INTO SATURDAY MORNING. AFTER A BRIEF BREAK SUNDAY ANOTHER STORM IS
LIKELY SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH ADDITIONAL RAIN AND HIGH ELEVATION
SNOW.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
A POWERFUL PACIFIC STORM AND ATMOSPHERIC RIVER (AR) WILL CONTINUE TO
PUSH INTO THE REGION OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THIS STORM HAS A DEEP
MOISTURE PLUME ASSOCIATED WITH IT, CONTAINING PRECIPITABLE WATER
OVER 1.5" MOVING ONSHORE THROUGH TONIGHT. HEAVY PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED FOR THE SIERRA, INCLUDING HIGH ELEVATION SNOW MAINLY ABOVE
8000 FEET. LIGHTER RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO SPILLOVER
INTO WESTERN NEVADA THIS EVENING AND INTO SATURDAY MORNING.
EXTREME WINDS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED TODAY ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST
AREA POSSIBLY EVEN STRONGER WINDS THAT WHAT WE SAW IN DECEMBER. SEE
OUR LATEST LOCAL STORM REPORT FOR THE DETAILS, BUT OVERALL WE'VE
SEEN A WIDESPREAD HIGH-END WIND STORM TODAY. WIND GUSTS HAVE BEEN
WIDESPREAD AT 60-70 MPH WITH EXTREME GUSTS UP TO 90 MPH IN MANY
VALLEY LOCATIONS. WIND DAMAGE HAS BEEN ALSO AS IMPRESSIVE AND
WIDESPREAD WITH NUMEROUS LARGE TREES AND POWER LINES DOWNED,
TRACTOR-TRAILERS BLOWN OVER, CANCELLED AND DIVERTED FLIGHTS INTO
RENO-TAHOE AIRPORT, AND WIDESPREAD DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. STRONG WINDS
HAVE ALSO HELPED TO START A FEW SMALL WILDFIRES AROUND THE REGION.
BLOWING DUST HAS CREATED VERY LOW VISIBILITIES DOWN TO 1/4 MILE OR
LESS AT TIMES. RIDGE WINDS IN THE SIERRA HAVE REACHED OVER 140 MPH
TODAY. STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS, ALTHOUGH
AS PRECIPITATION MOVES IN, THIS WILL DAMPEN THE WINDS SOMEWHAT. HIGH
WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH 4AM SATURDAY MORNING, BUT MAY
NEED TO BE DROPPED EARLY IF THE WINDS DROP BELOW 55 MPH.
PRECIPITATION IS PUSHING WELL INTO THE NORTHERN SIERRA THIS
AFTERNOON WITH SNOW LEVELS FALLING MUCH LOWER THAN EXPECTED. IT'S
SNOWING RIGHT NOW AT AROUND 5600 FEET AT BOGARD AND FREDONYER SUMMIT
IN LASSEN COUNTY, MAINLY DUE TO THE EVAPORATIVE COOLING THE LOW
LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. SNOW LEVELS WILL FLUCTUATE IN A LARGE WAY
TONIGHT, RISING TO OVER 8000 FEET AFTER MIDNIGHT AS EVIDENCED BY
SOME OF THE WIND PROFILERS UPSTREAM IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
STORM TOTAL RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO BE BETWEEN 1.5" TO 3.0" OF
RAINFALL THROUGH SATURDAY WITH LOCALIZED AREAS NEAR THE SIERRA CREST
RECEIVING UP TO 4 INCHES OF PRECIP. IN WESTERN NEVADA, PRECIP
AMOUNTS WILL BE AROUND 0.25 TO 0.50" OR SO THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.
WITH SNOW LEVELS RISING TO NEAR 8000 FEET TONIGHT, THIS WILL LIMIT
THE AMOUNT OF SNOWFALL BELOW 8000 FEET. A FEW INCHES OF SLUSH CAN BE
EXPECTED AT THE PASS LEVEL AROUND 7000 FEET IN TAHOE, BUT OVERALL
THE BIGGEST SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE ABOVE 8000 FEET AROUND TAHOE AND IN
THE HIGH SIERRA OF MONO COUNTY. WHERE SNOW AMOUNTS OF 12-24 INCHES
OF HEAVY WET SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY FOR MONO COUNTY REMAINS IN PLACE FROM 7PM TONIGHT
THROUGH 1PM SATURDAY FOR ELEVATIONS ABOVE 8000 FEET. FOR LAKE TAHOE,
NO WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED DUE TO ONLY MOUNT ROSE
SUMMIT AND CARSON PASS BEING THE MAIN IMPACTS FROM SNOWFALL TONIGHT.
HOON
SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...
THE NEXT SYSTEM THAT WILL IMPACT THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA
CONTINUES TO TREND HIGHER WITH MOISTURE AND LOWER IN REGARDS TO SNOW
LEVELS. ADDED ANOTHER 10% TO LIQUID TOTALS PUSHING MUCH OF THE
CREST OVER 2 INCHES WITH SOME OF THE HIGHER PEAKS REACH 3 INCHES.
THIS IS SHAPING UP TO BE ANOTHER ROUND OF SIGNIFICANT SNOW
ACCUMULATION ABOVE 8000 FEET. COULD SEE AN ADDITIONAL 2 FEET IN SOME
AREAS MAINLY AROUND THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE TAHOE BASIN TOWARDS THE
CREST. TOTALS WILL TAPER QUICKLY INTO THE CARSON RANGE AND GREAT
BASIN, BUT COULD SEE OVER A FOOT ABOVE 8000 FEET ALONG THE CARSON
RANGE DOWN TO MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN. UP TO A HALF INCH OF RAIN IS
EXPECTED ALONG THE SIERRA FRONT INTO THE VIRGINIA RANGE; SOME MIX OF
SNOW IS POSSIBLE, BUT NOT EXPECTING ANY ACCUMULATION. AS FOR SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS AROUND LAKE TAHOE, STILL EXPECTING ABOUT 2-4 INCHES AS
SNOW LEVELS DROP TO 5500 FEET BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. DUE TO THE
STRONGER BAROCLINICITY, FORCING IS MUCH STRONGER AND SPILL-OVER INTO
THE GREAT BASIN IS ANTICIPATED. HAVE INCREASED RAIN TOTALS EAST OF
THE VIRGINIA RANGE TO AROUND 0.10 INCHES WITH UPSLOPE AREAS UP TO
0.20 INCHES.
WINDS WILL BE ANOTHER CONCERN AS SHORT TO MID RANGE MODELS ARE
TRENDING HIGHER WITH WIND SPEEDS. UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM,
MOISTURE WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO DAMPEN THE SPEEDS FOR MANY LOCATIONS.
STILL, GUSTS COULD APPROACH 40 MPH ALONG THE SIERRA FRONT, NORTHERN
LASSEN/WASHOE COUNTIES, AND ALONG THE SURPRISE VALLEY; NOT NEARLY AS
SIGNIFICANT AS THE PRECEDING WIND EVENT. BOYD
.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
THERE WAS NO CHANGE TO THE LONG TERM FORECAST. NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA
AND WESTERN NEVADA WILL BE UNDER NORTHEAST-EAST FLOW ALOFT TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY AS AN UPPER LOW DROPS FROM THE EASTERN GREAT BASIN
INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA OR ARIZONA. THIS WILL BRING NEAR AVERAGE
TEMPERATURES BUT NO PRECIPITATION AS THE CORE OF THE LOW/INSTABILITY
SKIRTS THE REGION.
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVERHEAD FOR ABOVE
AVERAGE TEMPERATURES AND LIGHT WINDS UNDER CLEAR/SUNNY SKIES.
SNYDER
&&
.AVIATION...
RAIN AND HIGHER ELEVATION SNOW HAS ALREADY PUSHED INTO THE NORTHERN
SIERRA AND NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND WILL PUSH INTO WESTERN NEVADA
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. WIDESPREAD SIERRA TERRAIN
OBSCURATION IS ALREADY UNDERWAY, WITH HIGHER TERRAIN OBSCURATION TO
SPREAD INTO WESTERN NEVADA THIS EVENING. SNOW LEVELS MAY BRIEFLY DIP
DOWN TO AROUND 6000 FEET THIS EVENING IN HEAVIER PRECIPITATION IN
NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA. HOWEVER, THE KTRK/KTVL RUNWAYS SHOULD REMAIN
WARM ENOUGH TO ELIMINATE MORE THAN A LIGHT AND SLUSHY ACCUMULATION
ON UNTREATED PAVEMENT.
WINDS TODAY HAVE KICKED UP LARGE AMOUNTS OF DUST WHICH IS REDUCING
VISIBILITIES SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE CARSON VALLEY NEAR KCXP AND
OVER/DOWNWIND OF DRY LAKE BEDS OUT IN WESTERN NEVADA. WINDS AND ANY
LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN THIS EVENING FROM ABOUT
HIGHWAY 50 NORTH AS THE RAIN AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOW SPREADS OVER
THE AREA AND DECREASES THE INTENSITY OF THE MOUNTAIN WAVES. FARTHER
SOUTH IN MONO AND MINERAL COUNTIES, STRONG WINDS MAY CONTINUE UNTIL
09-12Z AS MOISTURE/PRECIP WILL TAKE LONGER TO REACH THOSE AREAS.
HOWEVER, WHILE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE SUBSTANTIALLY TONIGHT
THERE WILL STILL BE SIGNIFICANT TURBULENCE AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO
25-35 KTS INTO SATURDAY MORNING.
SATURDAY WILL BRING LEFTOVER LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS TO THE
SIERRA WITH PERIODIC TERRAIN OBSCURATION. ANOTHER STRONG SYSTEM WILL
MOVE INTO EASTERN CALIFORNIA AND WESTERN NEVADA LATE SUNDAY AND
SUNDAY NIGHT. SNYDER
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES THE TREND OF BRINGING PERIODS OF
HEAVY PCPN INTO THE SIERRA THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING. HIGH SNOW
LEVELS WILL PROMOTE MORE RAIN THAN SNOW IN THIS SYSTEM AND THE
PERIODS OF HEAVIEST PCPN COULD PRODUCE ENOUGH HEAVY RAIN TO INCREASE
RUN OFF AND ELEVATE SMALL STREAMS...ESPECIALLY FROM THE CARSON RIVER
BASIN NORTH INTO NORTHEAST CA. THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT MAY LIMIT
STREAM RISES...CHIEF AMONG THESE ARE DRY SOILS AND ANTECEDENT VERY
LOW FLOWS. STILL...WITH UPWARDS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES OF LIQUID POSSIBLE
IN THE SIERRA AND CENTRAL PLUMAS AND WESTERN LASSEN COUNTIES...SOME
NEAR BANKFULL FLOWS ARE LIKELY ON THE SMALLER STREAMS WITH ELEVATED
FLOWS ON THE MAIN RIVERS.
WHILE NO SIGNIFICANT FLOODING CONCERNS EXIST AT THIS TIME...IT
WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR ANYONE NEAR SMALL STREAMS FROM MARKLEEVILLE
NORTH THROUGH THE TAHOE BASIN AND INTO NORTHEAST CA TO BE ALERT TO
THE POSSIBILITY OF RISING WATERS FROM LATE FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SATURDAY.
THE SECOND SYSTEM SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...WHILE LESS POTENT...
WILL BE MOVING ACROSS ALREADY SATURATED SOILS AND COULD CAUSE
MORE RAPID RISES EVEN WITH LESS RAINFALL.
WHILE WE DO NOT PLAN ANY FLOOD WATCHES AT THIS TIME...WE WILL BE
CAREFULLY MONITORING THE SITUATION AS THE RAIN STARTS FRIDAY AND
BECOMES HEAVY FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. 20
