AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV
203 PM PDT SUN APR 24 2016

.SYNOPSIS...A COUPLE MORE STORMS WILL IMPACT THE GREAT BASIN THIS
WEEK. THE FIRST ONE IS BRINGING VALLEY RAINS THIS EVENING...WHICH
WILL CHANGE OVER TO SNOW LATE TONIGHT. TRAVEL WILL BE IMPACTED
MONDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON ON MANY SUMMITS AND HIGHER ELEVATION
VALLEY AREAS. PRECIPITATION LATER THIS WEEK IS EXPECTED TO BE
RAIN IN THE VALLEYS WITH MORE SNOW TO THE MOUNTAINS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. TROUGH ENERGY DIGGING IN
ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN TONIGHT INTO MONDAY WILL SPREAD MODERATE
AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE ACROSS THE CWA BEFORE EXITING TO THE EAST
MONDAY EVENING. EXPECT VALLEY RAINS THIS EVENING TO CHANGE OVER TO
SNOW LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING DOWN TO AROUND 4500
FEET...WHICH WILL MEAN ALL BUT THE LOWEST VALLEY LOCATIONS. NOT
EXPECTING MUCH IF ANY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ON ROADWAYS BELOW 5500
FEET UNLESS A HEAVY SNOW SHOWER DEVELOPS...ALTHOUGH GRASS AND
OTHER SLIGHTLY COOLER SURFACES MAY SEE SOME ACCUMULATIONS. MOST
VALLEY LOCATIONS WITH ELEVATIONS ABOVE 5500 FEET SHOULD SEE 1-5
INCHES OF SNOW BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. LOCATIONS ALONG THE NORTHERN
SLOPES OF MOUNTAINS SUCH AS SPRING CREEK IN ELKO COUNTY MAY SEE
HIGHER SNOW AMOUNTS DUE TO UPSLOPE ENHANCEMENT WITH THE NORTHERLY
WINDS. AS FOR NORTHERN ELKO COUNTY AND THE RUBY MOUNTAINS...THE
WINTER WEATHER WATCHES HAVE BEEN ELEVATED TO WINTER STORM
WARNINGS...WITH SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO THE TIMING OF THE EVENT.
ADDITIONALLY...WIND ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR HUMBOLDT AND
NORTHWESTERN NYE COUNTIES FOR MOST OF THE DAY ON MONDAY AS
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS RISE WITH THE TIGHTENING OF SURFACE GRADIENTS
ALONG WITH MID-LEVEL WINDS MIXING DOWN.

SHOWERS TAPER OFF MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS NORTHWESTERLY FLOW
MOVES IN OVER THE GREAT BASIN. BY TUESDAY NIGHT ANOTHER TROUGH WILL
DIG IN ALONG THE WEST COAST...WITH MORE PRECIPITATION MOVING INTO
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEVADA WEDNESDAY. THIS NEXT SYSTEM WILL BE
WARMER HOWEVER...WITH MOST VALLEY PRECIPITATION FALLING AS RAIN.
MOUNTAINS WILL SEE MORE SNOW.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY THE PERIOD LOOKS
UNSETTLED WITH BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. MODEL AGREEMENT IS OK
ON THE OVERALL PATTERN BUT STILL DISAGREE ON SYNOPTIC AND
MESOSCALE DETAILS.

SPECIFICALLY...AS A 500MB SHORTWAVE RIDGE EXISTS THE
STATE...ANOTHER SYSTEM DIVES SOUTH ALONG THE SIERRAS
MTNS...FORMING ANOTHER 500MB CLOSED LOW OVER SOUTHWESTERN NV BY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE APPARENT SFC LOW NEAR VEGAS. THIS WILL
SPREAD PRECIP IN THE WESTERN AREAS BEGINNING WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...PUSHING EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL NEVADA WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. BY THURSDAY...ANOTHER SHORT WAVE WILL DIVE SOUTH INTO THE
BASE OF THE TROF...WHICH IN TURN DIGS THE MAIN 500MB LOW SOUTHEAST
INTO NORTHERN AZ. THERE ARE DISAGREEMENTS ON HOW FAR SOUTHWARD
THIS SHORTWAVE WILL GO..AND THEREFORE WHERE THE 500MB LOW ENDS UP
BY THURSDAY EVENING. ADDITIONALLY...THEY ALSO DISAGREE AND FAR
WESTWARD THE 500MB CLOSED LOW FROM THE SYSTEM THAT JUST HIT THE
STATE ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY GETS PULL BACKWARDS INTO MONTANA.
DESPITE THESE DISAGREEMENTS...CENTRAL NV WILL SEE THE GREATEST
IMPACT FROM THE SYSTEM WITH SOME AREAS PICKING UP OVER 1 INCH OR
MORE OF EQUIVALENT PRECIP WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. TOO
EARLY TO SAY WHERE THE FRONTAL OR WRAP AROUND BAND WILL SET
UP...BUT LIKELY SOMEWHERE IN NE NYE OR WHITE PINE COUNTY AREAS.
THE OTHER CHALLENGE WITH THIS SYSTEM IS SNOW LEVELS. IT CURRENTLY
LOOKS WARMER THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE SO ELEVATIONS BELOW 6500 FT
SHOULD SEE ALL RAIN; HOWEVER...SOME WINTER HEADLINES ARE LIKELY
REQUIRED FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS INCLUDING SOME SUMMITS. FURTHER
NORTH...SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY WITH
MUCH LIGHT AMOUNTS OF QPF. WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FROM THE TWO 500MB
LOWS TO THE EAST CONTINUE THE SHOWER CHANCES IN EASTERN NV ON
FRIDAY...ALBEIT LESS THAN ON THURSDAY. WESTERN AREAS ARE LIKELY TO
REMAIN DRY WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS ON FRIDAY. BY SATURDAY...A
WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM DIGS SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHERN NV UNDERNEATH THE
NW FLOW ALOFT...PRODUCING SOME SHOWERS ONCE AGAIN IN MAINLY
EASTERN NV. FINALLY...ON SUNDAY..THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM DEVELOPS
ANOTHER CLOSED 500MB LOW...BUT THIS TIME ITS IN UTAH SO THE
EFFECTS ARE MINIMAL WITH MAINLY KEEPING SFC AND FLOW ALOFT OUT OF
THE NORTH OR NORTHWEST ON SUNDAY WITH A SHOWER OR TWO ALONG THE
UT/NV BORDER.

AS FOR TEMPS...MAINLY 40S AND 50S ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY UNDER
QUITE A BIT OF CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP BEFORE WARMING TO NEAR OR IN
THE 60S ON FRIDAY. UPPER 50S TO UPPER 60S ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
WITH A FEW LOCATIONS HITTING THE 70S IN NW NYE AND NW HUMBOLDT
COUNTY ON SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...DETERIORATING CONDITIONS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
FOR ALL SITES. SHOWERS AND/OR PERIODS OF RAIN SHOULD HIT KWMC
FIRST BEFORE KELY AND KEKO EXPERIENCE LATER TONIGHT AS CIGS LOWER
TO MVFR...AND EVENTUALLY IFR. CHANGE OVER TO SNOW IS NOT
EXPECTED TO OCCUR UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING FOR KELY AND KEKO;
HOWEVER...NO ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED ON RUNWAYS DUE TO WARM
SURFACES AND AIR TEMP REMAINING SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING. AS FOR
KWMC AND KTPH...SNOW IS NOT EXPECTED...HOWEVER THE NORTHERLY WINDS
WILL INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD...HITTING 30 MPH SUSTAIN BY
EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. AS EXPECTED...ICING AND TURBULENCE WILL
ALSO BE AN ISSUE ALOFT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...RIVERS CREEKS AND STREAMS HAVE BEEN FLOWING WITHOUT
MUCH INCIDENT THIS SPRING SEASON AND IT HAS BEEN NICE TO HAVE THE
WATER BACK. HOWEVER WITH THE EXPECTED NEW SNOWFALL...PERIODS OF RAIN
ON SNOW...AND PROJECTED WARMER TEMPERATURES BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK...SOME CREEKS RUNNING OFF THE MOUNTAINS MAY EXCEED BANK-FULL.
LAMOILLE CREEK AND MARTIN CREEK ARE TWO NAMED CREEKS TO WATCH IF
SNOW-MELT ESCALATES HOWEVER THERE ARE NUMEROUS SMALL CHANNELS
ORIGINATING IN THE MOUNTAINS THAT MAY CAUSE FLOODING ISSUES OR
SOGGY ROADWAYS.
