AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
335 PM PDT MON JUL 25 2005

.SYNOPSIS...DRIER AIR OVER CENTRAL NEVADA WILL SPREAD SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN AND MOJAVE DESERT THROUGH THURSDAY.
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CONFINED TO SOUTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY
TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY UNDER AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE. &&

.SHORT TERM...SHORTWAVE TROUGH SET TO PASS OVER SOUTHERN IDAHO THIS
EVENING AND WILL BE OVER SOUTHWEST WYOMING 12Z TUESDAY. ALREADY
SEEING DEWPOINTS LOWER FROM BISHOP-TONOPAH-ELY QUICKER THAN BOTH
NAM/GFS GUIDANCE. MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT WITH DRYING THE AREA
FROM THE NORTHWEST TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS MID-LEVEL HIGH CENTER
OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST SHIFTS EAST OVERHEAD ON WEDNESDAY. BEST
DEVELOPMENT SO FAR TODAY IS ALONG THE BOUNDARY DIFFERENTIATING
DRY/MOIST AIR OVER NORTHERN LINCOLN COUNTY. SHOULD SEE THIS BOUNDARY
SAG A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS EAST CENTRAL NEVADA/SOUTHWEST UTAH
LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. FURTHER SOUTH WHERE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
MORE PLENTIFUL STORMS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME GOING EXCEPT OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN. ON TUESDAY...COULD JUST BE ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
LINGERING OVER SOUTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY FOR AN ISOLATED STORM OVER THE
HUALAPAI MTNS. REMAINDER OF AREA WILL BE DRY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
AS THE HIGH CENTER SHIFTS EAST OVER NEVADA TEMPERATURES WILL WARM
2-3 DEGREES THROUGH WEDNESDAY THEN LEVEL OUT THURSDAY.
&&

.LONG TERM...UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST THURSDAY AND
BECOMES CENTERED OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION BY FRIDAY AND THROUGH
THE WEEKEND ACCORDING TO THE GFS. THIS WOULD PRODUCE A MORE
FAVORABLE MOISTURE FLOW INTO THE REGION FOR THE COMING WEEKEND. THE
UKMET AND ECMWF TAKE THE HIGH CENTER FURTHER EAST OVER SOUTHERN
KANSAS/NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. THIS WOULD BE LESS FAVORABLE FOR MOISTURE
IMPORT. PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO TAP FROM FRIDAY ON AS REMNANT MOISTURE
FROM TROPICAL DEPRESSION GERT LINGERS OVER CENTRAL/NORTHERN MEXICO
AND BAJA. THURSDAY EXPECTED TO BE A DOWN DAY THUNDERSTORM WISE AND
POSSIBLY THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK. THE AREA WILL BEGIN TO MOISTEN
FRIDAY AS A SOUTHEAST FLOW BECOMES DOMINANT. THIS WEEKEND COULD GET
INTERESTING WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER MOISTURE SURGE. THIS
WOULD ALSO BACK THE TEMPERATURES OFF WITH THE INCREASED CLOUD COVER
AND MOISTURE.
&&

THROUGH THE PERIOD. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS BEEN EXTREMELY
ISOLATED TO THIS POINT HOWEVER ACTIVITY IS PICKING UP IN THE MORMAN
