Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Reno NV
225 PM PDT Thu Apr 14 2022

.SYNOPSIS...

The pattern we all probably wanted back in mid-winter is here with
multiple storm systems moving through the region over the next 7-10
days. Several periods of mountain snow and travel disruptions along
with strong winds are likely. Temperatures will be warmer than they
have been, but will generally be near to below normal.

&&

.SHORT TERM...

Our ongoing storm continues to drop quite a bit of rain and snow on
western Sierra slopes up to the crest from approximately Hwy 88
north. A sharp rain shadow east of the crest is present with some
limited spillover into far NE CA and the Tahoe Basin and nothing
into western Nevada. This will continue into the evening hours, with
some periods of travel difficulties over the crest, but limited
accumulation on roadways elsewhere due to the daytime warmth and
high sun angle. After sunset, it may be easier to see roadway
accumulation, but precipitation rates will also begin to taper back
then.

Otherwise, we'll continue to see gusty winds today and into this
evening, with many places staying rather breezy overnight tonight.
Most valley gusts will remain in the 30-40 mph range, with a few
locally stronger gusts in wind prone locations. This will continue
to bring travel difficulties for high profile vehicles, rough air
for aviators (we have had many wind shear and turbulence reports
today), along with choppy conditions on area lakes.

Winds will be lighter, but remain breezy on Friday with only a few
light lingering showers for the northern Sierra and northeast CA.
Our next storm moves in Friday night into Saturday with strong winds
and another round of rain and snow anticipated overnight into
Saturday morning. More details can be found in the long term section
below. -Dawn

.LONG TERM...

Saturday morning will see the progression of the latest system
working its way through the area. If your weekend plans involve road
travel, make sure to check with NDOT an CalTrans for the latest road
conditions ahead of your trip. Impacts will include rain/snow and
winds that could create travel headaches, especially with the
anticipated higher traffic volumes for the holiday weekend.

We are so pleased to welcome the precipitation, but need to be
cautious in our optimism for accumulations. This storm will be
largely a wind maker, with potentially damaging wind gusts of 60+
mph possible in and around the Eastern Sierra. Given westerly wind
direction, gusts blowing across N-S oriented roadways such as US-
395, US-95, and I-580 may create problems for high-profile vehicles.
Anyone interested in recreation on the lakes will see choppy
conditions, while aviators will encounter turbulence along the
Eastern Sierra.

Snow levels will be around 6000-6500' for Tahoe communities who
could see the bulk of the precipitation from this round.
Accumulations of snow will mostly reside to the west of Lake Tahoe,
where a 50% chance for up to 4" exists. Snow consistency will be
wet, and below 6000' most areas will see only rain. With a high sun
angle and warm soils, most roadways will remain wet, the exception
being the higher passes that could have some slushy or snowy
conditions. Looking to the south of Tahoe, the storm for Mono County
may produce up to 6" of snow for higher elevations west of US-395 as
it passes, and moves out by Saturday evening.

Easter Sunday awakens to clearing skies, with temperatures warming
toward the mid 60s to low 70s for western Nevada valleys, and Sierra
communities seeing mid 50s. The Easter Bunny needs ideal hopping
conditions to distribute his colorful and sweet goodies.
Temperatures are favorable for keeping chocolates from melting too
fast, and winds should allow ideal basket carrying and efficient egg
hiding. There won't be any rain threatening the egg hunts or
other outdoor events for Sunday.

Late Monday into Tuesday another chance for moisture arrives.
Spillover for this system may be limited due to the position of the
low pressure being well to the north of the region along the
Canadian border. Wind gusts of 30-40 mph are possible for the
ridges, but this could be modified if the position of the low shifts.

Going forward into the week, guidance suggests yet another frontal
feature approaches the area for Thursday night into Friday, and as
of now, appears to bring a decent moisture source to the area. I
know what you are wondering... Where was this a couple months ago?
Let's not question too much, some things we just accept, like this
wonderful late season boost to our water supply! -HRICH

&&

.AVIATION...

Today's round of active weather will taper off overnight tonight,
with Friday being a lull between systems. Another quick storm will
start overnight Friday and will last until Saturday evening. There
will be periods of strong winds, wind shear, and mountain wave
activity.

The system today will taper off throughout the night, ending the
Sierra snow and gusty winds. Winds today will also decrease
throughout the evening tonight, getting down to around 10-15 kts.
This evening there will be around 40 kts of LLWS, diminishing
tomorrow morning. On Friday, winds will be 15-20 kts gusting 20-30
kts.

The next system to move through will be Friday night, bringing
winds, rain, and snow to the region. Sierra terminals will see
several inches of snow on Saturday morning with gusts exceeding
40 kts with FL100 winds sustained at 50-55 kts. For the western
Nevada terminals, the winds will be the primary issues, but light
rain may be possible midday Saturday.

After a brief break Sunday into Monday, another storms moves in
Monday night into Tuesday. -Collins
