NORTHERN GREAT BASIN FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV 200 PM PDT THU JUN 12 2003 SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FIRING ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM AUSTIN TO ELKO TO WENDOVER. THIS IS A LITTLE FURTHER WEST THAN YESTERDAY AS FLOW ALOFT HAS BACKED SLIGHTLY DUE TO SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL CA. CUMULUS DEVELOPING TO A WEST OF THIS LINE WITH MODELS SHOWING THIS AREA BECOMING UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON SO AM EXPECTING ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON. WILL LET ISOLATED STORMS GO ALL NIGHT ACROSS HUMBOLDT COUNTY AS SHORT WAVE OFF NORTHERN CA WILL BRUSH THAT AREA TONIGHT. DRIER AIR BEHIND SHORT WAVE WILL PUSH MOISTURE BACK TO THE EAST ON FRIDAY BUT SHOULD STILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ACROSS WHITE PINE AND SOUTHEAST ELKO COUNTY FOR A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. FLOW ACTUALLY BACKS A LITTLE ON SATURDAY AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS. THIS PULLS MOISTURE BACK A LITTLE WEST AND NORTH SO WILL PUT SLIGHT CHANCE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EAST CENTRAL AND IN ELKO COUNTY EAST OF THE RUBY MOUNTAINS. JUST ABOUT THE SAME SCENARIO ON SUNDAY. EXTENDED...WEAK UPPER TROUGH APPROACHING CA COAST MONDAY IN COMBINATION WITH UPPER HIGH NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS WILL PUT THE REGION UNDER SOUTHERLY FLOW WITH MOISTURE SPREADING ACROSS ALL OF NORTHERN AND EAST CENTRAL NV. MOISTURE NOT THAT GREAT BUT WONT TAKE MUCH WITH WARM DAYTIME TEMPERATURES TO KICK OFF A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. THIS SCENARIO CONTINUES INTO THURSDAY. .EKO...NONE. COLLINS
