NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
845 AM PST SAT NOV 24 2001
MIXED WEATHER SITUATION TODAY. CURRENTLY...AREAS AROUND RENO...MINDEN...SOUTH
LAKE TAHOE HAVE EITHER SWITCHED TO RAIN OR CONTINUED TO RAIN.
LATEST SPOTTER REPORTS FROM MONO HAVE HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS...WHERE
AS UP IN LASSEN COUNTY UP TO A FOOT OF SNOW HAS FALLEN IN THE
LAST SIX HOURS. SNOW LEVELS ARE VARYING ALL OVER THE PLACE. STILL
EXPECT WARMER AIR TO REACH FURTHER NORTH TODAY BEFORE THE FRONT
CROSSES THE SIERRA. SNOW LEVELS CURRENTLY AROUND THE LAKE ARE
ABOUT 7000-7500 FEET...ACCORDING TO SLIDE MOUTAIN AND SPOTTERS
IN INCLINE VILLAGE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE LAKE. 8200 FOOT TEMPERATURES
ARE JUST BELOW FREEZING. STILL ASSESSING THE MODEL INITIALIZATION.
BOTH THE AVN AND ETA WERE INITIALIZED WELL HERE...BUT WERE TOO
WARM OVER WITH THE OAK SOUNDING BY ABOUT 2 DEGREES. THIS WILL
MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN TIMING OF THE SNOW LEVELS LOWERING THIS
AFTERNOON.
WILL LEAVE CURRENT FORECAST AS IS...AS MODELS STILL PAINTING
A LOT OF QPF THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY AND INTO THE EVENING.
THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE WIND ADVISORY. CURRENTLY FAIRLY CALM
THIS SIDE OF THE SIERRA...BUT FROM SURFACE OBS IN CALIFORNIA
THE WINDS ARE PICKING UP ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE MAIN FRONT. MOUTAIN
TOP SENSORS INDICATE THE WINDS ARE STARTING TO INCREASE...AND
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE IS ALSO BEGINNING TO GUST UP. WILL LEAVE THE
ADVISORY AS IS AS I STILL EXPECT THE WINDS TO PICK UP AS THE
BACK EDGE OF THE FRONT GOES THROUGH.
WILL HAVE TO ASSESS THE WSW SITUATION FURTHER BEFORE MAKING ANY
CHANGES. CAIRNS
