Area Forecast Discussion...RESENT
National Weather Service Reno NV
1111 AM PDT Thu Apr 6 2017

.UPDATE...
Winds have already increased and are blowing quite strong across
the Sierra and immediate lee. Gusts to 115 mph have occurred on a
few Tahoe area ridges with gusts 50 to 55 mph in the Tahoe Basin,
Mono and Lassen Counties as well as the Sierra Front. Winds will
continue at similar speeds through this afternoon and the high and
advisories look good. The adjustments were to increase the ridge
winds and some valley locations to better match observations.

We are also upgrading the Winter Storm Watch to a Warning. Still
expect several feet of snow up high with mainly impacting the
Sierra passes through tomorrow morning. Snow levels do lower
tomorrow afternoon into Friday night with accumulating snow down
to 5000-5500 feet in Lassen County, lake level in Tahoe and
6500-7000 feet in Mono. The winds will also be gusty in those
areas as well with gusts 50 to 55 mph at times in the lower
elevations. Ridge gusts may reach 150 mph tonight. Wallmann/-Zach

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 251 AM PDT Thu Apr 6 2017/

SYNOPSIS...

Winds will increase today and continue into Saturday morning ahead
of an incoming atmospheric river storm. The strongest winds are
expected this afternoon and again Friday afternoon. Multiple
rounds of heavy rain and higher elevation snow will occur tonight
through Friday night with snow and snow pellet showers bringing
additional accumulations Saturday even down to western Nevada
valley floors. A drier pattern is likely for early next week with
another moderate storm possible for the end of next week.

SHORT TERM...Today through Saturday Night...

The well advertised Atmospheric River (AR) storm is on track to
reach the region tonight, with a myriad of significant impacts
possible through Saturday. This includes heavy rain and mountain
snow, major travel impacts, possible flooding, and strong winds. The
AR would be categorized as a solid moderate event, with an uptick
in ensembles bordering on strong. This is a highly unusual event
for April with the forecast liquid precipitation 2-day totals in
some locations having not been observed in 10-20 years.
Confidence is high for heavy precipitation late Thursday night
through Saturday, but lower for snow levels and subsequently snow
totals and flood potential. That being said, however, the trend
for snow levels has at least been in a downward direction.

Here are the highlights with regards to this storm:

PRECIPITATION: Warm air advection today ahead of the main storm will
bring isolated areas of light rain and mountain top snow, with the
main AR moisture push starting tonight into Friday. The period for
peak precipitation rates still looks to be on Friday, followed by a
secondary wave Friday night. The first piece should lead to the
highest precipitation rates in the northern and central Sierra,
while the second piece has more of a focus in the central and
southern Sierra. The final piece on Saturday, when the upper low
shifts through the region, has trended stronger due to the core of
the low making it farther south. The atmosphere will be highly
unstable due to the cold pool aloft with showery precipitation
bringing a mix of snow and snow pellet showers down to all valley
floors. Overall, liquid precipitation totals haven't changed much
with 2-5 inches along the Sierra crest and 1-3 inches in the Tahoe
Basin, eastern Sierra foothills, and northeast California. 0.5-1.5
inches is possible along the Sierra Front with lesser amounts
into west central Nevada. There is a chance for an isolated strike
or two of lightning throughout the event, but will leave mention
out of the forecast for now as confidence remains lower.

SNOW LEVELS: This will be the key to the forecast and is also still
where the greatest uncertainty lies. Snow levels look to start
around 6000-6500 feet near the Oregon border, 7000-7500 foot range
around the Tahoe region, and 7500-8000 feet in Mono Co. There is
still the question of some warming Friday afternoon, however the
overall trend has been to limit the warming potential as flow
remains more southwesterly. The deviations among available
guidance has also declined, but is still in the 500-1000 foot
range, which would still yield appreciable differences in the
forecast. The biggest potential variation in snow totals will be
in the 6000-7500 foot range (7000-8000 foot range in Mono Co)
where there is less certainty in the heavier rounds of
precipitation falling as rain or snow. A cold front will shift
through the region Friday night, which will take snow levels down
to 4000-5000 feet by Saturday.

HYDROLOGIC CONCERNS: Rises are certain on all mainstem rivers,
with several forecast to reach monitor stage. Currently, mainstem
river flooding is not expected outside of the Middle Fork of the
Feather River at Portola where minor flooding is expected. The
Humboldt River at Imlay remains in moderate flood stage, but it
has been here for a couple of weeks already due to snowmelt. The
river forecasts are highly dependent on snow levels, and if they
were to stay higher longer, flooding may become more of an issue.

The greatest concern remains for lower elevation creeks and
streams, especially those flowing out of the western Nevada
Sierra Front. The ground is already saturated from this record
winter and the lower elevation snowpack is ripe, and will lead to
significant runoff. Also be prepared for rises on all terminal
lakes, including but not limited to: Washoe, Honey, Silver, Swan,
and White Lakes. A flood watch remains in effect for the lower
elevations of the Sierra, northeast California, and the western
Nevada Sierra Front. Small debris flows or rock slides are also
possible due to the heavy rain, especially in the lower elevations
of the Sierra on Friday.

WINDS: 700 mb winds continue to increase today with gusts this
afternoon reaching 40-50 mph in valley locations and around 100 mph
across Sierra ridges. The jet stream moves across northern CA/NV
tonight into Friday with 700 mb winds increasing to 55-70 kts.
This may lead to a period where Sierra ridges experience gusts
nearing 150 mph. Cross-sections and model soundings would indicate
the best downslope enhancement potential to be tonight, ahead of
the main moisture plume, however, the south-southwest direction is
not as favorable as west-southwest would be. The better wind
direction coincides with the heavy precipitation, which tends to
dampen out wave activity. The period of strongest winds is likely
to be this afternoon into the night and then again Friday
afternoon between the two heavier rounds of precipitation. Post-
frontal breezy conditions will continue into Saturday.

If it were me...

Finish completing preparations for this storm by this afternoon
including any flood mitigation measures--areas that have seen
flooding this past winter may easily see them again. Plan for snow
issues in the mountains such as delays, possible road closures,
and chain controls. Avoid mountain travel tonight through Saturday
as travel is likely to become very slow and hazardous. There may
be a couple of short windows where the snow levels are high enough
for it to only be rain or slush on Donner and Echo Summits,
however, don't count on this as it remains in the critical snow
level uncertainty belt. Be ready for much colder temperatures this
weekend with the potential for light snow or pellet accumulations
even on western Nevada valley floors Saturday. If you have any
early season sensitive vegetation, it may be a good idea to cover
those plants or, if possible, take them indoors. This storm is
highly dynamic and the smaller details may change as the event
unfolds, so be sure to continue to monitor the forecast. -Dawn

LONG TERM...Sunday Morning through Next Week...

Shortwave ridging and subsequent increasing heights with a more
zonal flow pattern will keep the weather quiet into the middle of
the upcoming week. Temperatures along the ridges were cooled a
little to keep the warming trend tamped for higher elevations.
Models tend to warm higher elevations too rapidly during the
transition seasons when flow is more zonal; valley temperatures were
not modified significantly. Daytime highs will warm back into the
mid/upper 60s by mid week before the next spring system moves into
the region.

The next weather producer is shaping up to be another decent system
backed by a weaker-variety atmospheric moisture tap. Inland AR
indicators are favorable for a moisture push into the Sierra, but
wind trajectories are less favorable for a strong push into
western Nevada. Currently, models are pointing to a much more
modest amount of moisture than this weekend's system, but we will
be watching for significant shifts in moisture content. The way
this season has progressed has shown that initial estimates for
QPF have been biased lower than what has actually transpired.

Snow level projections are trending colder from previous runs, but
still show a period of rain for elevations up to 7500 ft.
Flooding potential remains uncertain due to questions in QPF and
snow level variations this far out. What can be said with
confidence: Another system will bring a period of higher elevation
snow and valley rain to the Sierra and western Nevada later next
week. Expect the potential for travel disruptions over Sierra
passes and keep flood mitigation efforts in place. Boyd

AVIATION...

Ridge winds around 50-85 kts will continue to increase ahead of a
significant late season storm. As ridge winds pick up this
morning, a period LLWS is possible for Sierra locations; expect
turbulent conditions along the Sierra Front from the surface on
up. Surface wind gusts increase to 30-40 kts late this morning
with gusty conditions continuing through Saturday PM. During
rain/snow, winds will likely dampen leading to an erratic gust
pattern and increased gust spread that may be a complication
during takeoff/landing and for unfixed winged aircraft.

700 mb winds increase to 60-70 kts with mountain wave/turbulence
likely with periods of LLWS possible especially for Sierra
locations. Very heavy rain and mountain snow will bring long periods
of reduced CIGs/VIS to Sierra terminals with heavy rain expected for
KRNO/KCXP Friday. Snow accumulations for Sierra terminals could
range from a few inches to a foot or more. By Saturday light snow
accumulations of snow/snow pellets will be possible for KRNO/KCXP.
