AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
230 PM PDT MON JUN 26 2006
.SHORT TERM...
FIRST LIGHTNING STRIKES OCCURRED BEFORE NOON TODAY IN THE SRN ZONES
WITH CONTINUED CELL DEVELOPMENT NEAR AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 395...AND
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT PARTS OF WRN NV. TSTMS SHOULD CONTINUE INTO
THIS EVENING AND DIMINISH AFTER 9 PM WITH OUTFLOW WIND GUSTS
EXCEEDING 40 MPH AT TIMES.
AS THE RIDGE CENTER SHIFTS INTO ERN NV TUESDAY...WEAK S FLOW ALOFT
WILL SPREAD INCREASED MOISTURE INTO THE REGION WITH THERMAL TROF
SHIFTING FROM THE SIERRA TO CENTRAL NV DURING THE AFTERNOON.
CONVECTION SHOULD AGAIN FIRE UP BY LATE MORNING AND MIDDAY NEAR THE
SIERRA CREST...THEN SPREAD EWD INTO WRN NV DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE
GREATER COVERAGE OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO BE WEST OF HIGHWAY 95.
INCREASED CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP TEMPS BELOW 100 EXCEPT IN W-CNTRL NV
VALLEYS. INTERACTIONS WITH BOUNDARIES AND LINGERING INSTBY COULD
SUPPORT ISOLD SHOWERS OR TSTMS LATE TUES NIGHT.
NEGATIVE TILT SHORTWAVE OFF THE CA COAST WITH TROF EXTENDING INTO
CNTRL CA WILL MOVE NWD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON WEDNESDAY. WITH
MOISTURE AND INSTBY ALREADY IN PLACE...THE ADDED DYNAMICS WILL
ENHANCE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG OR EVEN SOME SEVERE STORMS. HEAVY
RAINFALL IS ALSO A CONCERN AS PW VALUES RISE TO AROUND 1 INCH. WHILE
INDIVIDUAL CELLS MAY MOVE FAST ENOUGH TO LIMIT FLOODING
POTENTIAL...IF A FEW CELLS TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREA THE FLOOD THREAT
WOULD INCREASE. AS A RESULT...TSTM CHANCES WERE RAISED TO LIKELY
OVER THE TAHOE AND RENO ZONES BY WED AFTERNOON...SHIFTING INTO NWRN
NV WED EVENING. MAX TEMPS WERE TRIMMED BACK A BIT IN THE RENO ZONE
AS WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP WILL LIMIT DAYTIME HEATING.
BY THURSDAY...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR CU FORMATION IN THE
MORNING OVER MOST OF THE REGION...BUT AS INCREASING SW FLOW ALOFT
LEADS TO DRIER DOWNSLOPE WEST WINDS IN THE AFTERNOON...THE TSTM
THREAT SHOULD PUSH TO JUST EAST OF THE RENO-CARSON CITY AREAS WITH
THE BEST CHANCES ACROSS W-CNTRL NV WHERE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS
MAXIMIZED. POPS WERE REMOVED IN WRN LASSEN COUNTY SWD TO THE TAHOE
BASIN AS DRY AND STABLE AIR MASS SPREADS OVER THOSE AREAS. MJD
.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
STRONG RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE WRN CONUS ON FRIDAY. WITH THE CENTER
OF THE RIDGE TO OUR EAST THE KREV CWFA WILL SEE SLY FLOW WITH GOOD
MOISTURE ADVECTION. PRECIP WATER VALUES OF 0.75 INCH ARE PROGGED
OVER WEST CENTRAL NEVADA BY 00Z SATURDAY. WILL CONTINUE WITH SLIGHT
CHANCE TSRA OVER SERN HALF OF CWFA FOR FRIDAY AFTN AND EVENING. THE
CENTER OF THE UPPER RIDGE REMAINS ENTRENCHED OVER THE FOUR CORNERS
ON SATURDAY. IT ALSO KEEPS ITS INTENSITY SO EXPECT AFTN TEMPERATURES
IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 90S ACROSS WRN NEVADA BOTH FRIDAY AND SAT.
THE RIDGE IS PROGGED TO INTENSIFY FURTHER SUNDAY AND MONDAY SO HAVE
KEPT TREND OF SLIGHTLY INCREASING TEMPERATURES BOTH DAYS WITH AFTN
HIGHS NEAR 100 DEGREES ON MONDAY IN WRN NEVADA. OHARA
&&
.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY. MAIN THREAT REMAINS
ISOLATED TSRA WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS NEAR
TSTMS. OHARA
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE TO SLOWLY BREAK DOWN THROUGH TUESDAY AS TROUGH
AND SHORTWAVE ENERGY BEGIN TO AFFECT THE WEST COAST. LARGE 1-1.5
INCH PRECIPITABLE PLUME OVER THE SOUTHWEST U.S. WILL BE TAPPED AS
SOUTHERLY FLOW INCREASES AROUND THE UPPER HIGH AND BRINGS STORMS
WITH BOTH WETTING RAINS AND ENOUGH MOTION TO SPREAD THE WATER
AROUND MORE EVENLY. UNTIL THAT HAPPENS...STRONG SURFACE HEATING AND
LITTLE STEERING FLOW WILL RESULT IN STORMS PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINS. HOWEVER DRY LIGHTNING...GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS...LITTLE OR NO
RAINFALL AND UNSEASONABLY HOT TEMPERATURES WILL COMBINE TO PRODUCE
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OUTSIDE THESE HEAVY RAIN CORES. NEW
FIRE STARTS AND INITIAL ATTACK WILL THUS BE A CONCERN. A RED FLAG
WARNING WILL BE ISSUED FOR AREAS NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING EXCEPT FOR TAHOE AND THE IMMEDIATE SIERRA
FRONT WHERE DEEPER MOISTURE WILL ARRIVE SOONER. AREAS TO THE NORTH
AND EAST WILL SEE MOISTURE SURGE MORE IN THE TUESDAY NIGHT TIME
FRAME. IN ADDITION HUMIDITY RECOVERIES WILL BE POOR AGAIN FOR ONE
MORE NIGHT WITH LEVELS 20-30% COMMON AT THE MIDSLOPES. MUCH BETTER
RECOVERIES ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY AN INCREASE IN
WETTING RAINS WEDNESDAY. HOHMANN
