AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
236 PM PDT WED APR 13 2016

.SYNOPSIS...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL POP UP EACH AFTERNOON
FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. MEANWHILE COLDER AIR WILL INFILTRATE THE
REGION AND WINDS WILL BE INCREASING. RAIN WILL BE CHANGING OVER
TO SNOW THURSDAY WITH A COUPLE INCHES OF VALLEY ACCUMULATION
POSSIBLE BY FRIDAY. WINDS WILL BE STRONGEST ACROSS NYE COUNTY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. THUNDERSTORMS BEGAN
BLOSSOMING ABOUT 1 PM THIS AFTERNOON ESSENTIALLY IN LINE WITH THE
FORECAST...BACK AS FAR WEST AS THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN NORTHEAST AND
NORTHWEST NYE COUNTY...AS WELL AS EAST OF THE RUBY MOUNTAINS IN
ELKO COUNTY. THE MODELS SEEM TO BE DOING PRETTY WELL WITH THE
OUTGOING SYSTEM AND THE INCOMING COLDER AIR. LOW PRESSURE NOW
SPINNING ABOUT 500 MILES OFF THE WASHINGTON COAST WILL BRING A
BLAST OF COLD AIR AND SNOW TO THE GREAT BASIN.

TONIGHT. THE UPPER LOW OFF THE PACIFIC COAST WILL MOVE INTO THE
WASHINGTON STATE COASTAL REGION AND BEGIN TO AFFECT THE CURRENT
AIR MASS OVER NEVADA. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIE OFF ACROSS EASTERN
NEVADA THIS EVENING HOWEVER PRIMARILY ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL
PERSIST THROUGH THE NIGHT.

THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING. LOW PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY MOVE
FROM WASHINGTON STATE TO RE-CENTER OVER NORTHERN NEVADA. THERE MAY
BE SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AROUND ELY AND EASTWARD IN WHITE
PINE COUNTY IN THE AFTERNOON AND THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME
INSTABILITY ALONG THE NORTHERN NEVADA BORDER WITH IDAHO AND OREGON
DUE TO THE RAPID INTRUSION OF COLDER AIR AND THE CLASH OF AIR
MASSES. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR ELKO COUNTY WEST OF THE
RUBY MOUNTAINS AS WELL AS NORTHERN LANDER AND NORTHERN EUREKA
COUNTIES. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE FALLING TO THE VALLEY FLOORS ACROSS
MUCH OF THE GREAT BASIN DURING THE DAY OR EARLY EVENING HOWEVER
ROADWAYS WILL BE RELATIVELY WARM AND SHOULD NOT POSE A PROBLEM FOR
MOTORISTS.

THURSDAY MIDNIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. THERE MAY BE A COUPLE
INCHES OF VALLEY SNOW ACCUMULATION TO DEAL WITH HOWEVER WINDS
ACROSS NORTHERN NYE COUNTY FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING
ARE THE PRIMARY CONCERN RIGHT NOW. IN A POST-FRONTAL WIND FIELD
AND A VERY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT...WINDS AT TONOPAH AND
SIMILARLY POSITIONED VALLEYS AS WELL AS OVERPASSES MAY SEE WIND
GUSTS IN THE 50S TO POSSIBLY AROUND 65 MPH. A HIGH WIND WARNING IS
IN EFFECT.

SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST TO THE 4-CORNERS AREA OF
THE COUNTRY. WINDS WILL DIE DOWN AND A DRY PERIOD WILL ENSUE AS
RIDGING REGROUPS OUT OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY. LOW PRESSURE
APPEARS MORE LIKELY TO REMAIN NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS REGION FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THIS WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE MAIN EFFECT
FOR EASTERN NEVADA WILL BE CONTINUED MODERATE NORTH TO NORTHEAST
FLOW SUNDAY ...DIMINISHING TO A LIGHTER EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW BY
MONDAY. INCREASED CLOUD COVER MAY ALSO WRAP AROUND THE LOW AND INTO
EXTREME EASTERN NEVADA AT TIMES SUNDAY-MONDAY, ALTHOUGH THE
POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS IS SLIM. A GRADUAL WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED
EACH DAY, WITH HIGHS PUSHING ABOVE 70 DEGREES IN VALLEYS OF HUMBOLDT
AND NORTHWEST NYE COUNTIES...AND IN THE 60S FOR THE CENTRAL-EASTERN
NV VALLEYS.

FOR NEXT TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY...LATEST GUIDANCE FAVORS THE NEXT TROUGH
TO TRACK NEAR THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST, WITH RIDGE AXIS MOVING
ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN. THIS WOULD KEEP GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE REGION WITH SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW LEADING TO FURTHER
WARMING...WITH HIGHS IN MOST VALLEYS PUSHING INTO THE 70S BOTH DAYS.
AREAS OF CIRRUS WILL INCREASE TOWARD MIDWEEK AS THE RIDGE AXIS
PUSHES EAST TOWARD THE ROCKIES.

&&

.AVIATION...BEST CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND BRIEF THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING ACROSS NORTHEAST NV SOUTH AND EAST OF
ELKO...EXTENDING SOUTH TO NEAR US-50 AND US-6 INCLUDING KELY.
ELSEWHERE...SOME INCREASE IN S-SW WINDS IS EXPECTED MAINLY OVER
HUMBOLDT AND WESTERN ELKO COUNTY...WITH GUSTS NEAR 25-30 KT AT KWMC.
FOR THURSDAY...WEST WINDS WILL INCREASE FURTHER ACROSS THE REGION
WITH THE STRONGEST WIND POTENTIAL OVER NORTHERN LANDER-EUREKA
COUNTIES AND MUCH OF ELKO COUNTY WEST OF THE RUBY MTS...WHERE GUSTS
AROUND 40 KT ARE POSSIBLE. SHOWERS WILL ALSO INCREASE MAINLY NORTH
OF I-80 THURSDAY AFTERNOON...THEN SPREAD SOUTH THURSDAY NIGHT WITH
SNOW LEVELS DROPPING BELOW 5000 FT. SHORT PERIODS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBY
ARE POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT AT KWMC-KEKO-KELY.

&&

.LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WIND ADVISORY FROM 11 AM TO 9 PM PDT THURSDAY FOR NORTHERN ELKO
COUNTY-NORTHERN LANDER COUNTY AND NORTHERN EUREKA COUNTY-
