AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ELKO NV 310 PM PDT WED JUN 3 2015 .SYNOPSIS...LOW PRESSURE IN CALIFORNIA WILL ALLOW SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVER NORTHWEST NEVADA THURSDAY AFTERNOON. INCREASING TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL KEEP SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS...THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. && .UPDATE...MUCH DRIER AIR PUNCHING IN BEHIND SHORTWAVE, ENDING THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS WEST OF THE RUBY MTNS. UPDATED THE FORECAST THIS EVENING TO REMOVE POPS FROM THESE ZONES, WHILE INCREASING THEM EAST OF U.S. HIGHWAY 93. STORMS ACROSS EASTERN ELKO COUNTY WILL POSE A PRIMARY THREAT OF STRONG GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS AND BLOWING DUST FOR THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. TURNER && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED AT 220 PM / SYNOPSIS...LOW PRESSURE IN CALIFORNIA WILL ALLOW SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVER NORTHWEST NEVADA THURSDAY AFTERNOON. INCREASING TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL KEEP SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS...THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. SHORTWAVE CLEARLY EVIDENT ON INFRARED SATELLITE THIS AFTERNOON, PASSING THROUGH NE NEVADA ON SCHEDULE. MOISTURE IS LIMITED, WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER NEAR OR LESS THAN 0.50 INCH. STILL, CAPE NEAR 500 J/KG AND EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR NEAR 30 KTS WILL BE ENOUGH TO ORGANIZE SOME HIGH-BASED MULTICELL STORMS, MAINLY ACROSS ELKO COUNTY, INTO THIS EVENING. WITH A DRY BOUNDARY /SURFACE DEWPOINTS ONLY IN THE LOW TO MID 30S/ CONCERN FROM THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SUNSET WILL BE STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS. CONVECTION WILL WANE QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET. TONIGHT...PACIFIC TROUGH CLOSES OFF TO A 565 DM CIRCULATION NEAR SAN FRANCISCO BY 5 AM. WITH THIS EVOLUTION, DIVERGENCE ALOFT WILL INCREASE WITH TIME ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA TONIGHT. CLOUDS WILL PERSIST, LOWER AND THICKEN, AND ISOLATED RAIN SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES OVERNIGHT. CLOUDS AND MOISTURE WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES MILD, WITH SOME VALLEYS REMAINING ABOVE 50 DEGREES THURSDAY MORNING. THURSDAY...LOW PRESSURE SINKS SLOWLY SOUTH ALONG THE CALIFORNIA COAST, WITH STRONG DIFFLUENCE ALOFT PERSISTING ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA. MODELS ARE UNANIMOUS, FORECASTING THUNDERSTORMS TO REDEVELOP MAINLY ACROSS ELKO, LANDER AND HUMBOLDT COUNTIES THURSDAY AFTERNOON. NAM FORECASTS STRONG INSTABILITY IN THESE ZONES STARTING AROUND NOON, WITH LIFTED INDEX AS LOW AS -7C AND WIDESPREAD CAPE OF 500-1000 J/KG. MOISTURE QUALITY WILL IMPROVE, WITH PW INCREASING TO 0.50-0.75 INCH, WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY. SURFACE DEWPOINTS PROGGED TO HOLD IN THE LOWER 40S. IN ADDITION TO MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY, THURSDAY'S CONVECTION WILL BE DEVELOPING IN A SHEARED ENVIRONMENT, ALLOWING STORMS TO EVOLVE INTO ORGANIZED MULTICELL OR SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. PRIMARY CONCERN THAT MAY ENHANCE THUNDERSTORM INTENSITY IS A NE/SW ORIENTED STATIONARY BOUNDARY, THAT WILL HELP ORGANIZE STORMS WITH ITS ENHANCED VORTICITY, TEMPERATURE GRADIENTS, AND MOISTURE CONVERGENCE. ALL OF THIS SAID, THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER EXISTS NW OF AN AUSTIN-RUBY MTNS-JARBIDGE LINE THURSDAY AFTERNOON, AND ADDED ENHANCED WIND/HAIL WORDING IN THE GRIDS. AGAIN, EXPECT CONVECTION TO BE DIURNALLY-DRIVEN, AND END ABRUPTLY AROUND SUNSET. FRIDAY...CLOSED UPPER LOW IN CALIFORNIA CONTINUES TO SINK SOUTHWARD, WHICH WILL DECREASE THE DYNAMICS SOME ACROSS NEVADA. STILL, CONFIDENT THAT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL REDEVELOP ONCE AGAIN IN THE AFTERNOON, WITH NAM FORECASTING A STRONG INSTABILITY AXIS FROM NEAR MOUNTAIN CITY TO BATTLE MOUNTAIN BY NOON. STORMS EXPECT TO DEVELOP ALONG THIS CORRIDOR, AND THEN DRIFT NW INTO HUMBOLDT COUNTY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. DRIER AIR, WITH PW NEAR OR LESS THAN 0.25 INCH, EXPECTED TO PUNCH INTO THE SE CWA, SO FEW IF ANY STORMS, AND HIGHER-BASED AND DRIER AT THAT, EXPECTED ACROSS NYE AND WHITE PINE COUNTIES. TURNER LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY. TROUGH ENERGY OVER NEVADA THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL LEAD TO CONTINUED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION. STRONGEST AND WETTEST STORMS THIS WEEKEND ARE EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA WHERE THERE IS MORE AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY. SHEAR INCREASES ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WITH DEW POINTS STILL IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S OVER NORTH-CENTRAL NEVADA. BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS WEEKEND LOOKS TO BE ON SUNDAY...OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY...ACROSS NORTHERN LANDER AND EUREKA COUNTIES...AND OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF ELKO COUNTY. TAIL END OF EXITING UPPER LEVEL JET ENERGY SITS OVER ELKO COUNTY MONDAY AFTERNOON...WHERE THERE MAY STILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE...SHEAR...AND INSTABILITY FOR SOME MORE STRONG THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. TS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ISOLATED OVER MAINLY JUST EXTREME NORTHERN NEVADA TUESDAY AFTERNOON...HOWEVER BY WEDNESDAY MAY SEE INCREASED AREAL COVERAGE OF STORMS EXPANDING SOUTH INTO CENTRAL NEVADA. AS FOR TEMPERATURES...WITH THE TROUGH OVER THE REGION THIS WEEKEND LOWS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 40S...WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S. AS THE TROUGH EXITS EAST NEXT WEEK AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOWER 80S FOR VALLEY LOCATIONS...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS RISING INTO THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S.
