AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
1005 AM PDT WED JUN 7 2006

.SYNOPSIS...A DISTURBANCE EMBEDDED IN A MOIST SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL
GENERATE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
GREAT BASIN AND MOJAVE DESERT TODAY. THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN WILL PRODUCE LITTLE RAINFALL WITH DRY LIGHTING
A CONCERN. THE MOISTURE WILL HANG AROUND THROUGH FRIDAY WITH
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE EACH DAY.
&&

.UPDATE...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING AS EXPECTED
AND NEXT BATCH APPROACHING SOUTHERN NEVADA FROM THE SOUTHEAST. CLEAR
AREA BEHIND THAT BATCH OF STORMS SHOULD FILL IN WITH DAY TIME
HEATING. STORMS OVER ARIZONA AND SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA HAVE BEEN
PRODUCING SOME WETTING RAINFALL BUT DEWPOINTS OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA
STILL LOW ENOUGH FOR A THREAT OF DRY LIGHTNING AND FIRE STARTS. WILL
LEAVE RED FLAG WARNING UP FOR NOW BUT IF AIR MASS MOISTENS
MUCH...RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE ENOUGH TO DROP THE WARNING. FORECAST
IN PRETTY DECENT SHAPE AND NO UPDATES PLANNED THIS MORNING.

.PREV DISCUSSION...352 AM PDT WED JUN 7 2006
.SHORT TERM...AT MIDNIGHT SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN SOUTHEAST FLOW WAS
PRODUCING ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS NEAR KINGMAN. AREA HAS SHIFTED
NORTHWEST INTO CLARK COUNTY HOWEVER HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE OR TWO
LIGHTNING STRIKES IN CLARK COUNTY. MAY GET A SPRINKLE AT MOST FROM
BAND WHILE WINDS WILL GUST UP TO 30 MPH. USING THE NAM THIS MORNING
AS HARD TO BELIEVE GFS QPF OUTPUT OF NEARLY A HALF AN INCH OVER
CENTRAL CLARK COUNTY BY 18Z THIS MORNING. NAM QPF AMOUNTS OF
ONE-HUNDREDTH OR LESS MORE BELIEVABLE AS MOISTURE IS STILL ARRIVING.
AS SHORTWAVE CONTINUES TO DRIFT NORTHWEST DYNAMICS WILL SPREAD
ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES THIS MORNING WITH CONVECTION RE-FIRING
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONES THIS AFTERNOON. DRY LIGHTNING STILL A
CONCERN TODAY ESPECIALLY ACROSS LINCOLN/NYE AND ESMERALDA COUNTIES.
THE STORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF SHOULD HAVE SOME RAINFALL
REACHING THE GROUND THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING. MORE SPECIFIC FIRE
WEATHER DISCUSSION CAN BE READ BELOW. THE MOISTURE WILL HANG AROUND
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE SOME DRYING FROM THE WEST
ON FRIDAY AS SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS. MINOR DISTURBANCES EMBEDDED IN
THE SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL HELP FOCUS CONVECTION. FORECAST HIGHS TODAY
DIFFICULT TO GAGE DUE TO PLENTY OF DEBRIS CLOUDS BUT AGAIN GFS VALUE
FOR LAS SKEWED BY HIGHER QPF AMOUNTS THIS MORNING.

.LONG TERM...MADE VIRTUALLY NO CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS PACKAGE DUE
TO ONLY FAIR MODEL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ECMWF/DGEX/GFS PAST DAY 6.
EXPECTING SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND WITH A
POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH OFF THE COAST AND A HIGH PARKED OUT OVER
TEXAS. WHERE THE MODELS START TO DIVERGE IS THE STRENGTH AND FORWARD
PROGRESSION OF THE TROUGH. THIS IS CRITICAL AS IT WILL DICTATE IF WE
REMAIN DRY INTO THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK OR IF CONVECTION RETURNS
STARTING MONDAY. FOR NOW KEPT IT DRY DUE TO THE VARIOUS SOLUTIONS.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...MOISTURE INCREASING ACROSS SOUTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY
AND EASTERN CALIFORNIA WHILE DRY LIGHTING STILL A THREAT ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEVADA AS SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL BE
MOVING INTO NYE AND ESMERALDA COUNTIES THIS MORNING. AT 10Z...
SURFACE DEWPOINT AT TONOPAH STILL IN THE MID 20S. COVERAGE OF THE
STORMS MAY ONLY MEET SOUTHERN NEVADA DRY LIGHTNING CRITERIA TODAY
BUT WE HAVE ALREADY HAD SEVERAL FIRES STARTED IN NORTHWEST ARIZONA
