945 AM PST SUN APR 3 2005
.UPDATE...
CORRECTED MODEL TYPES IN FIRST SENTENCE.
12Z NAM AND GFS DATA STILL TARGETS THE TAHOE BASIN FOR THE BEST JET
DYNAMICS AND HIGHEST QPF. WHILE PRECIP WILL SPREAD INTO MONO
COUNTY...THE DURATION IS LIKELY TO BE SHORTER WHICH WOULD LIMIT SNOW
TOTALS. THEREFORE...THE WATCH WILL BE CONVERTED TO A SNOW ADVISORY
IN MONO COUNTY BEFORE 11 AM WITH AMOUNTS 3-7 INCHES FROM 6000-8000
FT AND UP TO 10 INCHES ABOVE 8000 FEET. THE WARNING WILL REMAIN
INTACT FOR THE TAHOE AND NERN CA ZONES WITH SOME TWEAKING OF SNOW
AMOUNTS...EXPECTING A LITTLE MORE SNOW IN THE TAHOE BASIN BELOW 7000
FT AND A LITTLE LESS IN NERN CA WHERE AMOUNTS WILL BE TOWARD THE LOW
END OF THE WARNING CRITERIA. MJD

.REV DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...
A BAND OF LIGHT RAIN CONTINUES EARLY THIS MORNING OVER THE
SACRAMENTO VALLEY...PERHAPS DUE TO SOME UPSLOPE COMPONENT AND A
SUBTLE SHORT WAVE EMBEDDED IN THE UPPER FLOW (THE GFS SHOWS THIS).
THIS SHORT WAVE AND A FAVORABLE LEFT FRONT QUADRANT POSITION WITH
RESPECT TO AN APPROACHING 100+ KT JET STREAK LOOKS TO TIGHTEN THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER CENTRAL NEVADA TODAY WITH CYCLOGENESIS
PROGGED THERE. THIS IS EXPECTED TO JACK UP WINDS FOR MOST OF THE
REGION TODAY...THEREFORE A WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT
FOR THIS MORNING THROUGH THE EVENING. THE STRONGEST WINDS MAY BE
AFTER 4 PM AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE SIERRA (THE MOST FAVORED
TIME FOR WIND IN THE WESTERN GREAT BASIN). MEANWHILE...WE HAVE
UPGRADED TO A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR TAHOE NORTHWARD AS DECENT
PRECIPITABLE WATERS...GOOD OROGRAPHIC FLOW...AND A POTENT SHORT WAVE
WITH A 100+ KT JET STREAK MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT. WITH THE
BEST LIFT LOOKING A TAD NORTH OF MON COUNTY...WE HAVE LEFT THE
WINTER STORM WATCH THERE FOR NOW. A SLIGHT JOG TO THE SOUTH WILL
GIVE MONO A GOOD SLAMMING AS WELL...SO WE HAVE LEFT IT TO THE DAY
SHIFT TO PULL THE TRIGGER THERE (SORRY GUYS).
AFTER MONDAY MORNING...A RIDGE MOVES IN FOR A WARMING AND DRYING
TREND THROUGH TUESDAY.
.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
DIGGING TROUGH IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL SLOWLY PUSH INTO THE
RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN US ON WEDNESDAY. MODELS STILL HAVE SOME RUN
TO RUN INCONSISTENCIES WITH REGARDS TO MOVING THE TROUGH ONSHORE.
4/3 00Z GFS IS ABOUT 12-24 HOURS FASTER THAN 24 HOURS AGO...BUT THE
FEELING IS THAT THE RIDGE WILL HOLD ON AND KEEP THE PRECIP OUT OF
THE AREA UNTIL AT LEAST LATE THURSDAY. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO
THE CURRENT FORECAST. LEAVING LOW POPS IN THROUGH THE EARLY NEXT
WEEKEND AS THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH SPLITS AS IT MOVES INTO THE
SIERRA. BRONG
