Message-ID: <450317f996ce8dd6d7ff45ddd300098a3dc98d7a@g-m-i.net>

There is some apparent confusion concerning the upcoming SET this Saturday.
Let me take this opportunity to set things straight.

1.    The SET is NOT cancelled.  All operations will continue as planned.

2.    With our approaching Pacific winter storm, it was decided that message
content
       would reflect actual weather conditions from the point of
origination.

3.    Given the fact that the storm may be less than expected, ANY message
may be        sent as a weather observation unless the information is
fabricated just for the
       exercise.  Fabricated weather observations MUST include the
statement: "THIS
       IS A DRILL MESSAGE" before the preamble is read and after the message
has
       been sent.

4.    Any and all messages generated for the exercise will be handled
regardless of
       actual content.  Areas that are affected by adverse weather from the
storm are
       asked to generate actual observed weather reports for their area.

If you have any questions concerning the exercise, please direct them to
your DEC.  Otherwise, we will expect to hear from you on Saturday morning as
planned.

Subject: SKYWARN Recognition Day - Update #4
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2002 11:37:09 +0000
From: "Scott Mentzer" <Scott.Mentzer@noaa.gov>

SKYWARN Recognition Day (SRD) takes place December 7, 2002,
beginning at 0000 UTC.  This is less than one month from now.  There
are currently 92 stations officially registered to participate.  One
site, Memphis, has not been posted to the web site yet, but it should
be there today.  Three other sites (Denver, Buffalo, and San Juan)
have expressed their commitment to participate.  They will be added
to the web site when I receive their application.  Including those
four stations, the number of participating offices will be 96.  Wow!
That's great.  The official SRD web site is: http://hamradio.noaa.gov/

Before letting you know the latest SRD news, let me express the
appreciation of the NWS to all SKYWARN or ARES groups who
supported NWS operations during this weekend's tornado outbreak
in the eastern third of the country.  If your interested in seeing some
publicity about SKYWARN operations during the event visit...

    http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2002/11/11/100/?nc=1
or

http://www.knoxnews.com/kns/local_news/article/0,1406,KNS_347_1540045,00.htm

Now, on to the SRD news:

    - A special welcome to the SKYWARN group from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

I'm sure you'll make plenty of QSOs since PR (like HI and AK) is
considered  a separate country for DXCC certification.  Get ready to
make
plenty of  contacts...and welcome aboard!

    - This is a reminder to inform your airport manager or airport
communications manager about SRD if you will work from an office located

on airport grounds.  This needs to be done by December 1, 2002.

    - Patrick Murphy has submitted a request to the ARRL to run a web
survey on their homepage.  The survey will attempt to determine how much

interest there is in SRD from the amateur radio community.  I'll let you
know if
the survey gets posted.

    - As you all know, SRD will be held on Pearl Harbor Day this year.
To honor the service men and women from WWII, I'd like each NWS office
to
transmit a special message from 1800 to 1900 UTC (roughly the time of
the
Pearl  Harbor attack on December 7, 1941).  The message will contain the
wx
report that occurred that day in Pearl Harbor - I'll provide that to you

a few days before SRD.

Any operator who works the NWS office in Honolulu at any time during
the SRD plus any one NWS office from 1800-1900z will earn a special
endorsement on their certificate: the Pearl Harbor Endorsement.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.

    - A group of NWS Warning Coordination Meteorologists will be in
Kansas City during SRD.  They will have the opportunity to use the SRD
station
located  there.  Any operator who works the Kansas City station can
count
both the Kansas City station and the WCM's home office toward
endorsement
credit. I'll provide further information on this to the Kansas City
group in
a few weeks.

    - After some deliberation, the digital mode endorsement will be
removed.  There simply haven't been too many people who have qualified
for this
in past  SRDs. Last year, it was suggested to have a WX endorsement.  A
ham
would qualify for that if he/she worked a certain number of stations
with a WX
prefix. So, if  there are no serious objections, the digital endorsement
will be
replaced by the WX endorsement.

    - The ever popular endorsement checklist will be released on the web

around December 1. In fact, you will be seeing the web site evolve from
now through SRD to focus on external hams rather than those associated
directly with SRD. Most internal  information will be relayed through
mailing
list messages (like this).

    - And, finally, thanks to the efforts of a number of hams, the
Internet Radio Linking Project in support of SRD is really taking off.
The IRLP allows operators to contact the world using only a 2 meter rig.

The catch - you need to be located  near a repeater that has an IRLP
node.
However, a number of NWS offices will utilize this relatively new
mode...
and there is interest worldwide about linking these sites.  The
following sites
might be able to use IRLP since they have nodes near them:

    K5BS          HOUSTON TX
    KB1G          RALEIGH NC
    KC0SKY    PLEASANT HILL, MO
    KF6NHD    SALT LAKE CITY, UT
    KH6SW     HONOLULU,HI
    N5CCW     CORPUS CHRISTI, TX
    N0G            DES MOINES, IA
    W4EHW     NHC  MIAMI FL
    W4W         GREENVILLE/SPARANBURG
    W5W         AUSTIN, TX
    W6S          SACRAMENTO,CA
    W7S          CHEYENNE, WY
    W9NWS     INDIANAPOLIS, IN
    W0NWS     OMAHA, NE
    WX2PHI    PHILADELPHIA, PA
    WX4LWX    BALTIMORE
    WX7PDX    PORTLAND, OR
    WX5FWD    FORT WORTH, TX
   WX7PHX    PHOENIX, AZ
   WX7RNO    RENO, NV
   WX9MKX    MILWAUKEE, WI

 If you're interest in exploring this, please talk to your local
 radio club.  Or, contact Robert Hobbs who graciously
 is coordinating this aspect of SRD (n5ula@cox.net).
 Let me know if you are going to use IRLP so I can get the
 web site updated.

Whew!  That was lengthy. I plan to issue two more weekly
updates.  Like last year, I'll give daily updates beginning
December 1 to discuss operating procedures.  Again, if you
have any questions, let me know.

Northern Nevada Chapter, American Meteorological Society
November Meeting

Climatology Report:

John James, retired Climatologist for the State of Nevada, gave a 
presentation regarding the severity of the drought in Nevada, primarily 
Southern Nevada.  Although the drought is moderate in Northern Nevada, it 
has redefined the term "extreme" in the southern portion of the 
state.  Many areas in that region received only around 10% of their normal 
yearly precipitation totals during the last water year.  In one case, that 
refers to an official measuring site receiving only 1/10" of precipitation 
for the entire season.  Steve Goldstein of the National Weather Service 
commented later that during an October hiking trip in the Spring Mountains, 
only one of four springs listed as reliable water sources on the map 
showing the trail he was hiking on was actually producing water.

Weather Briefing:

Although the El Nino in the eastern Pacific remains moderate, the weather 
pattern for the remainder of November into the December does not look 
favorable for precipitation.  A very strong ridge remains over the western 
U.S. with a trough to the east and a low presure system over the Pacific to 
the southwest.  Although the ridge will oscillate back and forth over the 
region, it will continue to block significant storms for the foreseeable 
future.  Toward the end of November/early December the ridge will shift far 
enough west to bring in some cold, but dry, air from the north - this will 
result in a period of cooler temperatures but still no precipitation.

The El Nino in the eastern Pacific, although classified as moderate and 
forecast to remain so, has been increasing in strength contrary to 
forecasts.  Regarding the severity of drought, Mr. James noted that strong 
El Ninos have typically produced drier years in the southern portion of the 
state.  Long-range forecasts continue to call for an elevated chance of 
above-average precipitation for the 2002-2003 season for all but extreme 
Northern Nevada.

Presentation - Spanish Springs Flash Flooding, June 20-21, 2002:

Flash flooding occurred over a two day period in the Spanish Springs area 
on June 20 and 21, 2002.  Although conditions elsewhere in the Reno CWFA 
were favorable in advance of afternoon thunderstorms on these days, 
allowing watches to be issued in those areas, atmospheric signatures were 
not indicative of such heavy rainfall over Spanish Springs prior to the 
events of either day.  Heavy rainfall and significant hail on June 20 
produced flash flooding of roadways and some pasture land with reports of 
flooding first coming in around 5:30 that evening.

The events of June 21 were much more severe and noteworthy because again, 
review of atmospheric conditions that morning did not indicate such heavy 
rainfall in the area where the event occurred.  Atmospheric conditions 
elsewhere in the CWFA, primarily over Mono County in California as well as 
Mineral and Lyon Counties in Nevada, were indicative of heavy rainfall and 
Flash Flood Watches were issued in those areas.  As the time approached 
5:30 P.M. on June 21, a sudden increase in dewpoints in the area where 
flash flooding subsequently occurred was noted.  This area was within the 
outflow boundaries of two clusters of heavy thunderstorms; one to the north 
and one to the south.  Cells producing very heavy rain quickly formed, and 
it is estimated that in excess of 3" of rain fell in the area with one 
hour.  The result was significant flash flooding downstream from the 
torrential rainfall.

Some interesting facts about the June 21 event:

*  A "checklist" has been developed contain certain key atmospheric factors 
that are commonly associated with rainfall events that produce flash 
flooding.  Virtually none of these factors existed in the Spanish Springs 
area on the morning of June 21 when afternoon forecasts were being developed.

*  A 100 year flood event in this area would be expected to result from a 
rainfall amount of 1.22" within one hour.  This event is estimated to have 
produced in excess of 3" of rainfall within one hour.  The event therefore, 
"greatly exceeded" a 100 year flood event.

*  Several retention basins exist upstream from the Spanish Springs High 
School campus, which received significant damage from the flood.  All but 
one filled and overtopped.  It was fortuate that the dams forming the ones 
that overtopped were not washed out.

*  Observation of several of these basins with the last few weeks showed 
that they still contain significant amounts of sediment deposited by the 
June 21 event, reducing their capacity to contain runoff generated by 
future events.

*  The construction of Eagle Canyon Drive resulted in the funnelling of 
flood waters toward the SSHS campus that normally would have flowed off to 
the northeast.  Culverts under the roadway in several spots were not 
sufficient to handle the amount of runoff generated in this event.

*  The SSHS campus was constructed with a drainage system intended to 
capture runoff from the uphill side of the campus and funnel it under the 
school, discharging it on the downhill side of the campus.  This system was 
designed to handle runoff generated by a 100 year flood event.  In this 
event, the system quickly becamed clogged with silt and failed, causing the 
runoff to flow over the campus.

*  Flows in some drainages within the flood areas are estimated to have 
reached 1,200 cfs.  By comparison, the Truckee River at Mogul was flowing 
at 346 cfs this morning.

* In terms of volume, one basin within the flood area is estimated to have 
handled the equivalent of 3,000 cfs/sq. mile.

*  During observation of drainages upstream from the SSHS campus shortly 
after the event, the largest debris moved by the flood waters noted was a 
boulder approximately 2' X 4' in size and estimated to weigh 1,500 
pounds.  This size of this rock is much more substantial than much of the 
rip-rap used to shore up runoff channels and retention dams downstream.

*  This flood resulted in damages estimated to exceed $1 million in the 
Spanish Springs community.  Approximately $600,000 of this was to the 
one-year-old Spanish Springs High School.

*  The facts presented are the results of investigation of the event up to 
this point.  The case study into this event is still ongoing.

Special weather statement National Weather Service Reno, NV  
515 PM PST Fri Nov 22 2002 ...

Much colder weather expected for Western Nevada and Eastern 
California next week... The upper level Ridge that has produced 
dry and mild weather over Eastern California and Western Nevada
this week will break down over the weekend...

While a Canadian air mass moves over the region early next week. 
The first cold front is expected to arrive by Sunday afternoon and 
evening with cooler temperatures and scattered rain or snow 
showers. By Sunday evening snow Levels are expected to fall to 
the valley floors...

But this system will have limited moisture so only light snow 
accumulations are expected. Isolated snow showers are expected
on Monday with temperatures mainly in the 40s in the valleys and 
from the mid 30s to lower 40s in higher elevations. A stronger 
surge of cold air is expected to push through Western Nevada and 
Northeast California Monday evening with stronger winds and another
possibility of snow showers. Wind chills on Monday night could be 
in the Zero to 20 degree Range over most of the region. Continued 
unseasonably cool temperatures and brisk winds are likely to 
continue on Tuesday.
