AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
325 PM PST SUN JAN 3 2016

.SYNOPSIS...

A MORE ACTIVE STORM PATTERN WILL SET UP ACROSS THE REGION THIS
WEEK AND RESULT IN PERIODS OF IMPACT TO TRAVEL, ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE SIERRA. AT THIS TIME, THE IMPACT APPEARS GREATEST FOR TUESDAY
AND NEXT WEEKEND AS A COUPLE OF STRONGER STORMS BRING MORE
WIDESPREAD AND MODERATE SNOWFALL POTENTIAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM...

A PATTERN CHANGE IS UNDERWAY AS STRONG JET DEVELOPS ACROSS BAJA
AND NORTHERN MEXICO EARLY THIS WEEK WITH A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVE
FEATURES EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE WEST COAST AND DROP SOUTHEAST
INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN STATES MON-TUE. THE AREA WILL REMAIN ON THE
COLD SIDE OF THE JET ALTHOUGH CLOUDS AND INCREASING MOISTURE HAVE
ALLOWED FOR A SIGNIFICANT MODIFICATION OF THE AIRMASS FROM 24
HOURS AGO. AS A RESULT, CONFIDENCE IN SNOW LEVELS AND THEREFORE
SNOW AMOUNTS FOR THE LOWEST ELEVATIONS (BELOW ABOUT 4500 FEET) IS
LOWER THAN AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS. ALSO, ALONG THE LINES OF
CONFIDENCE, THIS PATTERN FAVORS THE SIERRA FROM THE TAHOE BASIN
WEST OF HIGHWAY 89 SOUTHWARD INTO MONO-ALPINE COUNTIES.

THE FIRST SYSTEM ARRIVES LATE TONIGHT AND WILL INCREASE SHOWER
COVERAGE MAINLY FOR THE SIERRA MONDAY ALTHOUGH A BRIEF SPILLOVER
IS LIKELY WITH SHORTWAVE TROUGH PASSAGE MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING FOR SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS INTO NORTHWEST NV AND BASIN
AND RANGE WHERE COLD AIR WILL REMAIN TRAPPED IN SOME OF THE
VALLEYS DUE TO LIMITED MIXING. ELSEWHERE, ACCUMULATIONS WILL
GENERALLY BE 2-5 INCHES ALONG THE SIERRA CREST, AN INCH OR TWO AT
LAKE LEVEL AND ALONG HIGHWAY 395 THOUGH MONO COUNTY, AND POSSIBLY
UP TO AN INCH IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE SIERRA FRONT AND ALONG
HIGHWAY 395 BETWEEN RENO AND SUSANVILLE. THIS WOULD RESULT IN
GREATEST IMPACTS FOR THE MONDAY EVENING COMMUTE.

OUR ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE SECOND OF THE SERIES OF STORMS
TUESDAY WHICH MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY MORE ROBUST IN THEIR
QPF SIGNATURES. FLOW IS INITIALLY SOUTHERLY ALOFT AND THIS WOULD
FAVOR THE SIERRA CREST WITH SPILLOVER BEST FROM CARSON CITY
SOUTHWARD. HOWEVER, AS THE MAIN TROUGH ADVANCES INLAND, THE FLOW
TURNS SOUTHWESTERLY AND THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR POTENTIAL SPILLOVER
TO OTHER AREAS OF WESTERN NV ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE AGAIN IS NOT VERY
HIGH IN THESE AREAS. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ENOUGH IN SNOW AMOUNTS OF
10 TO 20 INCHES ALONG THE SIERRA CREST FROM TAHOE SOUTHWARD TO
WARRANT A WINTER STORM WATCH. HOWEVER OTHER HEADLINES FOR TRAVEL
IMPACTS WILL LIKELY BE NECESSARY FOR NORTHEAST CA AS WELL AS PARTS
OF FAR WESTERN NV AS OUR PICTURE OF SNOW ACCUMULATIONS BECOMES
MORE FOCUSED. CURRENT TIMING HAS SNOW ARRIVING IN THE SIERRA
AROUND OR JUST BEFORE DAYBREAK TUESDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY MODERATE ALTHOUGH SLOWLY.
EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP LOW TEMPERATURES UP TONIGHT BUT
ALSO LIMIT MIXING MONDAY. WINDS WILL PICK UP SOME FOR VALLEY
LOCATIONS (GUSTS 20-25 MPH) MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY WITH
IMPROVED MIXING. WINDS WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER RIDGES MON
NIGHT INTO TUE WHEN GUSTS AT THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS COULD APPROACH
100 MPH. HOHMANN

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

THE 12Z OPERATIONAL GFS/NAM/ECMWF HAVE CONTINUED THE TREND OF AN
ELONGATING TROUGH COMING INTO CALIFORNIA ON WEDNESDAY AS THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE TROUGH DIVES TOWARDS STRONG JET LEVEL FLOW
OVER NORTHERN MEXICO. THE EC AND GFS ENSEMBLES AND THE SREF ALSO
INDICATE THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS WITH MODEL SPREAD TO THE SOUTH OF
THE UPPER LOW CORE OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST.

WITH THE CONTINUED SUPPORT AMONG MODELS, HAVE KEPT POP CONSERVATIVE
EAST OF THE SIERRA AS AN ELONGATING TROUGH TENDS TO BACK WINDS ALOFT
TO SOUTHERLY FOR REDUCED OR EVEN ELIMINATED SPILLOVER INTO WESTERN
NEVADA, AND POSSIBLY REDUCED PRECIPITATION EAST OF LAKE TAHOE AND
HIGHWAY 395 IN THE SIERRA. A COUPLE OF NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS MAY BE IN
DOUGLAS COUNTY ALONG AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 395 AND SOUTH/WEST OF
SUSANVILLE IN PLUMAS AND LASSEN COUNTIES WHERE SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT
DOESN'T TYPICALLY RESTRICT SPILLOVER AS MUCH. ALL SAID AND TOLD
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT, I WOULD EXPECT A VERY MODEST 3 TO 6
INCHES FOR THE TAHOE BASIN WEST OF HIGHWAY 89, WITH 5 TO 10 INCHES
FOR ALPINE AND MONO COUNTIES WEST OF HIGHWAY 395. AS A SIDE NOTE,
THE 18Z GFS HAS COME IN WITH LESS OF AN ELONGATION OF THE TROUGH
WHICH WOULD PROMISE AT LEAST DOUBLE THE CURRENT SNOWFALL FORECAST
FOR THE SIERRA. HOWEVER, THIS HAS MUCH LESS MODEL SUPPORT AND IS A
FLOP FROM RECENT MODEL RUNS SO IT HAS BEEN REJECTED FOR NOW.

THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT REMAINS RATHER UNCERTAIN AS MODELS ARE
STILL ARGUING OVER WHETHER THE MAIN UPPER LOW CORE WILL MOVE BY
BETWEEN JUST OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST AND INTERSTATE 5, OR CLOSER TO
THE SIERRA. CLOSER TO THE SIERRA WOULD BRING A BAND OF DEFORMATION
OR WRAP-AROUND SNOW TO THE SIERRA INTO FAR WESTERN NEVADA, WITH A
FARTHER WEST TRACK BRINGING ONLY SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS. FOR NOW, I
HAVE LEFT PRECIPITATION CHANCES ABOUT THE SAME AS WE AWAIT A TIGHTER
ENVELOPE OF POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS.

FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT SHOWS A LULL BEFORE ANOTHER POTENTIAL SYSTEM
FOR SATURDAY. THAT SYSTEM STILL LOOKS RATHER COLD WITH SNOW AND
PERHAPS A LOWEST VALLEY RAIN/SNOW MIX. SNYDER

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR WITH THICK HIGH CLOUDS IN PLACE THROUGH TONIGHT.

MONDAY, LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST WILL MOVE
OVER THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA. -SHSN ARE EXPECTED TO BREAK
OUT IN NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND THE EASTERN SIERRA BY MID-LATE
MORNING, WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON.
WIDESPREAD HIGHER TERRAIN OBSCURATION IS EXPECTED, WITH TAHOE
TERMINALS TO SEE IFR CIGS/VIS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOWFALL ON UNTREATED PAVED AREAS WILL BE
POSSIBLE.

FOR WESTERN NEVADA, THE TIMING FOR ISOLD TO SCT -SHSN WILL BE AROUND
MID-AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING. WITH NO PAVED SURFACE ACCUMULATIONS
EXPECTED, BRIEF MVFR CIGS/VIS AND TERRAIN OBSCURATION WILL BE THE
MAIN IMPACT.

AN ACTIVE WINTER PATTERN REMAINS ON TRACK FOR THE WEEK AHEAD WITH
MANY PERIODS OF REDUCED CIGS/VIS FOR SIERRA TERMINALS AND BRIEF
REDUCTIONS FOR KCXP AND KRNO. SNYDER
