NWS Elko, NV wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 22, 1:18 PM PST, 6 hours 22 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Elko NV 218 PM PDT Sat Jul 22 2017 .SYNOPSIS...Monsoonal moisture will continue to stream into the region through the weekend into early next week. Showers and thunderstorms across the central and east this afternoon and evening with scattered thunderstorms statewide tomorrow. An approaching trough from the west will increase coverage and intensity of storms on Monday and Tuesday before drier air begins to work back into the state mid-week, diminishing thunderstorm coverage through the end of the work week. && .SHORT TERM...Slow-moving mix of wet and showers and storms expected to continue across east-central NV this afternoon and expand north and west this evening. PW values increase through the overnight tonight and expect thunderstorms to transition to mainly wet. Tomorrow, the slug of monsoonal moisture continues to be pulled north in between the Four Corners ridge and the upper-level low sitting off the Cali coast. Thunderstorm coverage will expand tomorrow with widespread PW values of 0.75-1.00 inches. Expecting mostly wet thunderstorms with some dry thunderstorms on the leading edge of the moisture push north of I80 before transitioning to wet tomorrow evening. On Monday, showers and thunderstorm coverage and intensity increases as the upper-level low encroaches on the region. Ensemble mean PW values expected to be in the 90th percentile or higher over an inch and CAPE values of 800-1500 J/kg will provide ample fuel for widespread showers and storms. With the upper-level jet spreading over the state, some of this activity could be better organized and strong. Another issue will be possible flash flooding due to moderate to heavy rain and overall slow storm motions, particularly over recent burn scars. Expect warms temps to continue with highs in the upper 80s to mid 90s on Sunday, dropping a few degrees on Monday with the increased moisture and cloud cover. .LONG TERM...Monday night through next Saturday. The long-term period begins with a cut-off low parked along the northern California coast and a broad ridge over the desert southwest. The result of which is increased moisture and instability over northern and central Nevada. Moderate jet energy associated with the cut-off low will persist Monday night through Wednesday across most of northern NV and portions of central NV. At the same time increased moisture will push up from the south into Nevada, guided by the cyclonic flow of the cut-off low to the west, and the anticyclonic flow to our southeast. Increasing moisture, lift, instability and shear will result in some moderate and possibly heavy rainfalls next week. Heaviest rains will likely be on Tuesday afternoon and evening over and near Elko County. Moderate to strong thunderstorms are possible both Tuesday and Wednesday, which may also result in some flash flooding. In the wake of some recent wildfire activity, burn scar areas near roadways will be of particular concern if heavy rains and flash flooding do develop, as debris flows onto roadways will be possible. By Wednesday the northern CA cut-off low weakens and ejects northeastward. At the same time, the ridge to the southeast retrogrades westward building into southern NV and CA with overall ridging across NV later this week on through the weekend. Drier and more stable air will gradually push in from the west Wednesday night onward. By Saturday most of the remaining shower and thunderstorms activity should be limited to northeastern and east- central NV, generally eastern Elko and White Pine Counties. && .AVIATION...Increasing cumulus cloud build-ups this afternoon through early evening across east-central NV, with isolated thunderstorms possible at KELY through the mid to late evening hours. Clouds will spread west and north into this evening, however thunderstorms are not expected to reach KTPH or KEKO. Mid and high level clouds will build in from the southeast tonight, with more widespread thunderstorms activity on Sunday likely reaching KWMC, KEKO, KTPH and KELY. && .FIRE WEATHER...A mix of slow-moving dry and wet storms across White Pine county will expand this afternoon and tonight and transition to all wet. Storm activity is expected to expand north and west tomorrow. North of I80 expect a chance of isolated dry storms before before transitioning over to scattered wet. Western and Central Humboldt are expected to stay mainly dry storms and a Red Flag has been issued for Sunday afternoon and evening. South of I80 expect scattered showers and thunderstorms, with moderate to possibly heavy rains possible as PWAT values jump to around an inch, surface dew points increase to around 50 degrees and overall storm motion will be slow to the north. Overnight RH recoveries will begin to have decent improvements over Central NV tonight. Recoveries continue to improve tomorrow night and Monday night across most of central and northern NV as mid and surface moisture increases. Expect scattered wet showers and thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday before drier air works in from the west mid to late week, diminishing overage thunderstorm coverage. && .LKN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Red Flag Warning from 2 PM to 11 PM PDT Sunday for Central and Western Humboldt County. && 84/96/96/84
