What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Reno, NV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Mar 26, 2:17 AM PDT, 7 hours 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 26, 2:17 AM PDT, 7 hours 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 217 AM PDT Sun Mar 26 2017 .SYNOPSIS... The next spring storm will move across the Sierra and western Nevada today into Monday with travel impacts possible for the Monday morning commute in the Sierra. Breezy winds may create choppy lake conditions through the weekend. Storm on Thursday may bring additional rain and snow to the Sierra and western Nevada. && .SHORT TERM... The next spring storm is still on track to move into the Sierra and western Nevada later today. No big changes were made to the forecast with the primary concerns being snow for the Sierra passes late tonight into early Monday morning and choppy conditions on Monday for Pyramid Lake. There may be some light warm air advection precipitation early today, but it appears that much of it will be either right along the Oregon border or along the Sierra crest. The bulk of the precipitation moves into the Sierra after 6pm which will result in a period of moderate to heavy snow for elevations mainly above 6000 feet. The main cold front pushes through in the morning where snow levels may drop down to around 4500 feet for northeast CA. Bottom line: If you are traveling back from a ski weekend in the mountains you will want to plan on leaving before this evening to avoid slowdowns and delays due to the snow moving into the Sierra. Simulations have continued to be on the drier side, but with the sufficient moisture and colder air there will be some snow accumulations by Monday morning. For areas above 7000 feet, including the passes, we are forecasting between 5 to 7 inches. Although we could see some light snow into western Nevada with brief periods of spillover, it appears that we will be dealing with wet roads Monday morning. Some areas like the foothills above Reno and Carson City, the north valleys of Reno and Virginia City could see a couple of slushy wet inches, so plan on leaving plenty of time for your morning commute. Monday will be brisk as westerly flow transitions to northerly flow behind the cold front. There may be a few leftover showers Monday afternoon with the cold core of the low over north central Nevada, but overall precipitation chances will be on the decrease. As the area of low pressure pulls away and allows ridging to build in across the region, the Sierra and western Nevada should experience a bit of a warming and drying trend. This will be relatively short-lived as the next system approaches the area for late Wednesday into Thursday. -Edan .LONG TERM...Wednesday Night through Saturday... Primary changes made to the long term forecast involve increasing pops/QPF for the Thursday time frame while lowering pops/QPF a little for Wednesday evening. This is all in response to operational models starting to converge toward a solution by Thursday. There are still some differences in the solutions...and the models still have plenty of time to go off the rails...but for now forecast confidence is starting to increase in a system dropping south-southeast across the Great Basin Thursday. The leading edge of this system begins to affect areas near the Oregon border Wednesday evening. The surface front slides south by early Thursday and crosses the forecast area by Thursday afternoon. Snow levels were adjusted down a little for Thursday afternoon...but raised slightly ahead of this low. Overnight lows for Wednesday night into Thursday morning were also raised as winds should not decouple overnight. Highs Thursday may be early in the day as well...prior to frontal passage. The ECMWF is still a bit more aggressive with the upper low/trough Thursday...carving it farther west and dropping it south faster than the GFS. The Canadian and most of the GEFS ensemble members tend to favor the GFS solution. The GFS is trending farther west than previous runs...so we will see how this plays out. We increased pops during the day to account for better lift/forcing along the front and with the upper low. Instability parameters support a slight chance of thunder over far northwest Nevada and the basin and range country of western Nevada Thursday afternoon/evening. QPF is still a bit of a question. Normally an overland trajectory would not be conducive for significant precipitation amounts...and that is how we have it for now. But the highly convective nature of the system could produce brief heavy bursts of precipitation east of Highway 95 Thursday. The upper low exits to the southeast slowly Friday morning with a few lingering showers over parts of Pershing/Churchill/Mineral counties. A ridge begins to build after that with mild air returning by Saturday. This will bring above normal temperatures for the weekend if the GFS and its ensemble members are correct...for now the ECMWF is producing another low that drops south across the forecast area next Sunday. This is in contrast to ridging on the GFS. && .AVIATION... Mountain obscurations expected this morning with increasing cloud cover through the day as the next spring storm moves into the Sierra and western Nevada. Light snow showers will be possible for Sierra terminals by daybreak, but main push of precipitation will not move in until after 0z today. Winds will increase through the day today with surface gusts generally up to 30 kts. For the Sierra ridges, wind gusts could be around 65 kts, leading to increased risk for mountain wave activity and turbulence. This storm will move through quickly with periods of snow producing IFR conditions in the Sierra and northeast CA. For the lower valleys into western NV there could be a brief period of rain or a rain/snow mix by Monday morning as the cold front moves through. A dry period Tuesday and Wednesday gives way to another system Thursday that drops south across the region. Showers and possibly thunderstorms are expected with this system. -Edan && .REV Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NV...None.
