Below are plots from the most recent 5 km WRF run at NWS Reno. The model is run 4x daily out to 27 hours, and plots are updated just after 00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC. Click on the links below to view the different variables. The "N" refers to the model domain roughly along/north of US 50, and the "S" refers to the area along/south of US 50. Simply mouseover the forecast hours (e.g. F24 for 24 hour forecast) to view the complete run. Mouseover links are also provided below the image, in case it is too large to view on your monitor. Other information about the Reno WRF is listed at the end of the page.
Note: the wind speeds are based on 30 mb AGL, therefore they will likely be closer to gust speeds compared to sustained wind speeds.
The NWS Reno 5km WRF uses the most recent NAM for the initial and boundary conditions. Given the small size of the WRF domain, it is heavily reliant on the NAM forecast and will tend to replicate NAM features at a higher resolution. This WRF uses the ARW core. The model has 45 vertical levels, no convective/cumulus parameterization, and uses the WSM Single-Moment 5-class moisture scheme (rain, ice, snow, mixed phase, super-cooled water).
The obligatory disclaimers: Please note that this is model guidance only and is not an official NWS forecast. The scripts that run the model and generate the images, while reliable, are not monitored and may experience errors from time to time.
