Severe Thunderstorm Warning 67, NWS Las Vegas, NV

MOJAVE DESERT/SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
205 PM PDT TUE SEP 2 1997

RADAR AND STLT BOTH INDICATE MOST OF FCST AREA CONVECTION-FREE WITH
EXCEPTION OF ERN SLOPES OF SIERRA NEVADA.  SEVERAL FACTORS LIKELY
INHIBITING T-STORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON.  TEMPS AT 21Z STILL
ONLY IN LOWER 80S OVER SRN NV WHICH IS STILL WELL BELOW CONVECTIVE
TEMPS.  RAINFALL FROM LAST NIGHT ALSO LIKELY STABILIZED LOWER
LAYERS TO SOME DEGREE AND CAPPING INVERSION AT 6OO MB ALSO A
FACTOR.  WITH ALL THAT SAID...WILL TRIM PRECIP CHANCE A CATEGORY OR
TWO FOR TONIGHT INTO ISOLD OR SCT.  ALL MDLS SHOW LITTLE CHG FOR
THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH FCST AREA REMAINING UNDER A MOIST SOUTHEAST
FLOW WITH UNSTBL CONDS CONTINUING WITH FCST LI VALUES IN THE 0 TO
-2 CATEGORY.  THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE BROAD-BRUSH APPROACH WITH
SCT POPS FOR MOST AREAS THROUGH THU.  LONGER RANGE MDLS CONTINUE TO
BRING TROUGH ALONG WEST COAST OVER THE WEEKEND WHICH SHOULD BRING A
DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW THEREBY CUTTING OFF T-STORMS CHANCES.
