.DISCUSSION...
(Today through next Thursday)
WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Cut off low present along the California
coast this morning with southwesterly flow over the forecast area.
General troffing pattern along the west coast is indicate to
persist for the foreseeable future. Southerly breezes across
central Nevada this afternoon with gusts 20 to 25 mph. Winds
slightly more modest across northern Nevada, though isolated to
scattered thunderstorms are expected along and north of the I-80
corridor. Storm modes will be a mix of wet and dry with better
coverage of wet storms focused in and near Humboldt County as
indicated by latest moisture progs. Occasional lightning strikes
and gusty and erratic outflow winds with gusts 45 mph or more can
be expected. Temperatures will reside a few degrees cooler than
average across the region.
No significant change in the overall pattern beyond Thursday, and
southerly afternoon breezes will be expected across central
Nevada into next week. PWATs will remain high enough to support
diurnally driven afternoon isolated thunderstorms across portions
of northern Nevada thru at least Saturday with the main area of
activity continuing to shift to northwest Nevada. Storm modes will
also return to dry after this afternoon. Temperatures generally
remain a couple degrees cooler than average across the forecast
area thru the weekend.
Fair weather thru the first half of next week as thunderstorm
activity shifts out of the forecast area. Southerly afternoon
breezes indicated to continue across central Nevada.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: High confidence in the short
term forecast though exact coverage of thunderstorms slightly
uncertain. Otherwise, troffing is indicated to persist over the
west coast into next week. Slight shift in the flow pattern
places afternoon convection further to the northwest as indicated
by numerical model solutions. Though there is uncertainty as to
how far to the northwest the main area of convection will migrate.
But favoring a storm free solution for the forecast area by early
next week.
&&
.AVIATION...
VFR conditions expected at all terminals over the next 24 hours.
Modest winds across northern Nevada this afternoon with readings
around 15 kts at KWMC, KBAM, KEKO, and KENV. Main concern for
northern Nevada terminals will be cumulus cloud build-ups this
afternoon along with a 10-15% chance of thunderstorms at KEKO and
KBAM. Slightly Higher probability at KWMC with a 20-25% chance.
VCTS has subsequently been included in the TAF for KEKO, KBAM,
and KWMC. The exception will be KENV. Otherwise afternoon wind
gusts across central Nevada will be in the 15-25 kt range,
including KTPH and KELY.
AMD NOT SKED at KWMC due to unstable communications.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Elevated fire weather conditions again present across fire
weather zones 426, 425, and 427 this afternoon due to
southerly wind gusts between 20 and 25 mph along with minimum
afternoon relative humidity residing around 15% or less. With no
significant change in the upper pattern thru the weekend,
southerly breezes can be expected into next week across central
Nevada. Temperatures will be a few degrees cooler than normal. Across
northern Nevada, winds will be slightly more modest, though main
concern is isolated to scattered thunderstorms this afternoon.
Storms will be focused along and north of the I-80 corridor. Atmospheric
moisture content indicated to be high enough to support a mix of
wet and dry storms. Progs indicate the better moisture profiles to
be situated in and near zone 437 today, so anticipating that
scattered coverage and wet storms will primarily be focused in
this area. Portions of northern Nevada will continue to see
diurnally driven thunderstorm activity each afternoon thru at
least Saturday with the main area of activity continuing to
shift to northwest Nevada. Storm modes will also return to dry
after this afternoon.
