What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm 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 winter storm warning went out at Jan 8, 2:53 AM PST, 10 hours 40 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 8, 2:53 AM PST, 10 hours 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 253 AM PST Mon Jan 8 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Mainly dry and cool conditions prevail today except for very light snow near the Oregon border. A brief warmup, increasing winds and a few showers Tuesday will be followed by another cold storm Wednesday through Wednesday night, producing widespread wind and snow impacts at all elevations. && .DISCUSSION... A chilly start to the week will give way to slightly milder conditions this afternoon with highs edging into the lower 40s for western NV valleys and lower-mid 30s for Sierra communities--still about 5-10 degrees below average. An area of warm advection aloft will bring increasing mid-high level clouds today with a 30-40% chance of very light snow (1" or less), generally north of a Susanville to Gerlach line including the Surprise Valley. A pair of weather systems then moves quickly across eastern CA/western NV from Tuesday through Wednesday night: * TUESDAY--MORE WIND THAN PRECIP: The first system sweeps into the western US during the day Tuesday, initially containing a small tap of Pacific moisture and a touch of warming as highs rise to near 50 degrees for most western NV valleys. However, this moisture tap is rather shallow and loses much of its punch as it reaches the Sierra. Most areas east of the Sierra crest look to be shadowed out with even the Tahoe basin having only a 30-40% chance of receiving 1" of snow. Near the crest, most simulations are generating about 2-4" of snow, while an inch or two is also possible near the OR border including the Surprise Valley. Winds appear to be the bigger concern as westerly 700 MB flow increases to 50 kts near the Sierra crest and 60 kt in far northeast CA/far northwest NV. This setup could produce peak gusts of 50-60 mph downstream from the Warner Mts. into Surprise Valley and far northwest NV. Gusty winds of 40-50 mph may extend farther south to far western NV, although the more recent ensemble guidance is favoring Wednesday for stronger gusts across the majority of the region. * WEDNESDAY/WED NIGHT--A SATURDAY SEQUEL?: This midweek storm appears to have several similarities to last Saturday's storm. A period of stronger winds will precede the onset of the main snow during the mid morning-early afternoon, with potential for peak gusts of 45+ mph for lower elevations, 60+ mph in wind prone areas, and near 100 mph for Sierra ridges. Snow then advances rapidly from north to south during the day, setting up another scenario where travel conditions worsen rapidly across urban areas during the Wednesday PM commute with 1-2"/hour snowfall rates. The snow covered roads then transition to hazardous icy conditions in the evening. Heavier weekday traffic would further aggravate the potential for long delays and even a few highway closures. Projected snowfall amounts are also in a similar range as last Saturday, with most likely scenarios bringing 6-12" for the Tahoe basin southward to Mono County, 10-18" near the crest, 4-8" in northeast CA, and 1-4" for much of western NV. What looks different is that more of west central NV including the US-95 corridor is at risk of receiving the 1-4" snow swath. Given the expected drier character of the snow (snow-liquid ratios mainly 14-18:1), gusty winds and snowfall may create whiteout conditions at times especially for the Sierra. REMAINDER OF THE WEEK/NEXT WEEKEND: After the midweek storm blasts through, a couple of dry days are expected to wrap up the week. Thursday starts out quite cold again, similar to this morning, followed by highs only in the 30s in lower elevations and below freezing for Sierra communities. Friday shows a bit of moderation for daytime highs, but still below average. Next weekend is still looking unsettled with another potentially potent storm. Spread among the guidance remains high, with a few high end scenarios (5-10%) producing liquid totals of 1"+ even in Reno, and above 3" for the Sierra crest from Saturday-Saturday night. However, a large majority of scenarios bring less than 1" liquid to the crest and less than 0.25" to far western NV. Temperature spreads also increase as we get to the Martin Luther King holiday weekend, resulting in a lower confidence of whether this storm will come in cold again, or pull in milder air with snow levels rising above the western NV valley floors. MJD && .AVIATION... * Mainly VFR conditions prevail today with lighter winds and increasing mid-high clouds. Patchy FZFG remains a possibility around KTRK until 18Z this morning. * TUESDAY THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY: A couple of weather systems will bring more chances for snow/wind. The first system Tuesday may produce brief MVFR conditions with -SN at the Tahoe area terminals, but the main impacts will be wind-related as an upper level jet moves overhead. Increasing west winds at ridge tops eventually mixing down to lower elevations will produce widespread turbulence and areas of LLWS for much of Tuesday. Second system drops in Wednesday with potentially even stronger SW-W winds, turbulence/LLWS and better snow potential, beginning in the Sierra Wed AM then down to all valley floors by late Wed afternoon. Snow accumulations are likely at all the main terminals, similar to last Saturday's storm. MJD && .REV Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NV...None. CA...None. &&
