 Public Information Statement  Statement as of 10:30 am CDT on March 15, 2010


... 2010 National flood safety awareness week...

Your National Weather Service office at New Orleans/Baton Rouge
Louisiana invites your participation in the National flood safety
awareness week... March 15 to 19... 2010. The purpose of this week is
to raise public attention to the dangers of flooding and ways to
protect life and property.

Each year flooding kills more people than any other form of
weather... causing damages in excess of 5.2 billion dollars. Three
quarters of all presidential declared disasters result from floods.

Today... March 15... we will focus on the N o a a National weather
service's advanced hydrologic prediction service or a h p S. A h p S
provides water prediction and delivery methods to serve your needs
and the needs of all of our southwest Mississippi... coastal
Mississippi and southeast Louisiana partners in protecting life and
property. A h p S provides information ranging from floods
situations to extreme droughts.

A h p S provides you with user-friendly text and graphical forecasts
that are available online. The goal of these products is to help
emergency managers... homeowners... and other users to be better
prepared to defend their communities.

Across southwest Mississippi... coastal Mississippi... and southeast
Louisiana... many industries rely upon accurate weather and river
information to make business decisions and to determine daily
operations. Information in a h p S is useful for mariners...
professional fishermen and shrimpers... and for navigational
purposes. A h p S also helps recreational water users to plan safe
outings - out of harms way.

A h p S encompasses other hydrologic and meteorological information
as well. From a h p S... the public can access the network of
Doppler radars, satellites, a network of automated surface observing
sites, and the new flash flood monitoring program to warn the public
about potential flooding and flash flooding. In addition... the
forecasts and products developed in the lower Mississippi River
forecast center... and the other twelve river forecast centers
nationwide... can be accessed via a h p S.

A h p S enables you to get reliable answers to such questions as:

How high will the river rise?
When will the river crest?
Where will the river flood?
How long will the flood last?
How good is the forecast?

The National Weather Service has recently added some enhancements to
the a h p S pages. These enhancements include:

Multi-sensor precipitation information
r S S feed alert capabilities
downloadable shape and k M z files for g I S users
probabilistic river forecasts

Additional information about a h p S and the 2010 flood safety
awareness week is available at:

Www.Weather.Gov/floodsafety/ (all lowercase)

Tuesday's topic will be "turn around... don't drown" or T a d d.

Brown at 9 8 5 6 4 5 0 5 6 5.

Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Elko Nevada 
215 am PDT Monday Mar 15 2010 


Synopsis...high pressure building into the region will bring dry weather 
and warming temperatures through middle week. A weak low pressure 
system will bring a slight chance of showers to the region on Thursday. 
&& 


Short term...today through Wednesday. Upper ridge will continue to 
build into the Great Basin through Tuesday resulting in warming 
temperatures. Highs will mostly be in the middle 50s to the middle 60s 
by Tuesday. A short wave moving across the Pacific northwest will push a weak 
frontal boundary into northern Nevada Wednesday. Models continue to show 
some moisture and instability with this feature so should at least 
see enough clouds for partly cloudy skies. Not sure that moisture 
will be deep enough for any showers...so will not include any at this time. 


Long term...Wednesday night through Monday. Wednesday night into 
Thursday a weak backdoor cold front will drop down into eastern Nevada. 
This will result in colder airmass over the County Warning Area. Temperatures are 
expected to be return to normal reading Thursday and Friday. Overall 
this front will be mostly dry...but there will be isolated light 
snow showers across the eastern mountains Thursday morning...as the 
front swings southeast. Mostly clear skies and breezy northerly 
winds for Friday...with much cooler readings across eastern Nevada. 
Ridge rebuilds over the region for next weekend with mostly clear 
skies and temperatures running 5-8 degrees above average. 
&& 


Aviation...high pressure remains over Nevada through Monday for 
VFR conditions. 
&& 


Lkn watches/warnings/advisories...none.
