What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory 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 wind advisory went out at Feb 7, 3:16 AM PST, 10 hours 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 7, 3:16 AM PST, 10 hours 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 316 AM PST Fri Feb 7 2020 .SYNOPSIS... The warm and dry trend will continue through Saturday before a strong cold front sweeps through the region. The cold front will bring gusty winds, a few snow showers and rapid drop in temperatures by Sunday. Breezy north to easterly winds are possible Saturday night into Monday with much stronger gusts for the Sierra ridges. && .SHORT TERM... Changes this morning: Wind speeds trending up for the NE wind event on Sunday-Monday. Plan for another quiet weather day today with warm temperatures, light winds, and dry conditions on tap. High pressure will continue to strengthen across the region, resulting in inversions becoming stronger across some valleys early this morning and tonight. Stronger inversions may result in poor ventilation, which will trap pollutants and smoke. Very dry conditions will persist and further dry out vegetation across the region. Today and Saturday will be prime days to prep ahead of the winds forecast for Sunday. Live in the Sierra, Tahoe Basin, Virginia city, or Mammoth Lakes vicinity? Doesn't hurt to double check your fencelines, outdoor items, or nearby trees. An area of low pressure is still on track to move into northern CA/NV this weekend, with gusty winds and chances for light snow in the Sierra. Winds will become breezy on Saturday, which will result in improved mixing and likely a bump up in the temperatures. Temperatures will warm up to around the low 60s, but most likely will not spike up to 73 degrees like last weekend. As the cold front drops through Saturday night through Sunday morning, there will be very light snow showers for the Sierra. Light accumulations, probably less than an inch or two, will be possible over the Sierra passes by Sunday morning. The primary concern in the short term remains the same. Very strong NE winds are probable Sunday night into Monday with Sierra ridge wind gusts over 100 mph possible. Strong NE ridge winds may result in ski area impacts, tree damage due to the unusual wind direction, powerline damage, and rough water conditions across Lake Tahoe. Most locations below the ridgelines will see gusts around 35 to 45 mph across the Tahoe Basin and in western Nevada. There could even be some potential for minor lake shore flooding early Monday morning along the west shore of Tahoe, depending on how much wind mixes down to lake level. At this point, gusts up to 45 mph should be expected for Tahoe. -Edan .LONG TERM...Monday through Thursday... A few changes were made in the day 6/7 time frame based on the most recent deterministic and ensemble model solutions...but that far out the changes were not very significant. The early part of the extended forecast is largely unchanged. Low pressure eases south-southeast Monday. We do continue to see gusty Sierra ridge winds Monday...but the overall speeds should be dropping as we move through the daytime and evening hours. Still...gusty winds could extend down to the Tahoe basin and prolong any lake impacts into Monday night. Cooling behind the upper level low and surface front extends into Monday before warming starts to take place Tuesday. This warming begins aloft in response to a building ridge. That could set the stage for valley inversions through Wednesday with poor ventilation early each day. Some afternoon low level warming by Wednesday should erode the valley inversions. Earlier model solutions hinted at the possibility of light precipitation Wednesday...but that seems to be gone in the latest solutions. The ECMWF remains rather aggressive with another front dropping south Thursday. This is absent from the latest operational GFS...but some of the GEFS ensemble members show the possibility of this front. With that in mind...we have made some adjustment to POPs in the Thursday time period...increasing them a bit over the far northern part of the forecast area. We have not added much in the way of QPF as this north to south trajectory would not be conducive to significant precipitation amounts. Winds could also begin to increase ahead of any trough that drops south. That would increase both high temperatures and mixing for Thursday. && .AVIATION... VFR except for the potential for FZFG around KTRK tonight, along with light winds. VFR conditions will persist through Saturday morning ahead of the next cold front. Gusty west winds will materialize ahead of the front along with the increased potential for mtn wave turbulence and local LLWS as surface gusts reach to 35 kts. Behind the front Saturday night into Sunday morning, plan for isolated MVFR with -SHSN Saturday night into Sunday focused on the Sierra terminals. On Sunday, gusty NE winds to 30 kts for valleys and terminals, while Sierra ridge gusts will exceed 85 kts into Sunday night. LLWS likely in the Sierra, along with significant mtn wave turbulence. -Edan && .REV Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NV...None.
