AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
922 PM PDT WED JUN 7 2006

.SYNOPSIS...A MOIST SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRING ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY.
DRIER AIR WILL START TO MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST ON FRIDAY WITH
DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER THE ENTIRE MOJAVE DESERT AND SOUTHERN
GREAT BASIN OVER THE WEEKEND AS SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS.
&&

.UPDATE...SATELLITE AND AREA RADARS SHOW THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING
OVER SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY. THESE STORMS ARE MOVING NORTH...BUT SO
FAR THIS EVENING...THEY HAVE DIED OUT AS THEY REACHED CLARK COUNTY.
AS PREVIOUS SHIFT NOTED...SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY HAD SUNSHINE MUCH OF
THE DAY...WHILE THE AIRMASS OVER CLARK COUNTY GOT WORKED OVER WITH
THUNDERSTORMS AND NEVER HAD MUCH CHANCE TO RECOVER. WILL UPDATE TO
REMOVE POPS FROM NORTHERN ZONES...AND REARRANGE THEM A BIT OVER THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ZONES. WILL ALSO NEED TO KEEP POPS GOING ALL
NIGHT OVER MOHAVE COUNTY...OUT OF RESPECT FOR THUNDERSTORM CLUSTERS
JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE YAVAPAI AND COCONINO COUNTY LINES.
ALSO ALLOWED RED FLAG WARNING TO EXPIRE SINCE THUNDER HAS ENDED OVER
THE AFFECTED ZONES.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
328 PM PDT WED JUN 7 2006

.SHORT TERM...CONVECTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER JET NOW MOVING
ACROSS NORTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA WHILE MORE CONVECTION
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST WHERE SUNSHINE
AND VORT MAX WAS LOCATED THIS AFTERNOON. WILL KEEP ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST ALL NIGHT AS OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES SHOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT IN THIS MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR
MASS. MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA SHOULD STILL SEE AT LEAST A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY WITH A SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FLOW IN
PLACE. DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW BEGINS TO DEVELOP FRIDAY WITH
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES LIMITED TO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY WILL SEE SOUTHWEST FLOW STRONG ENOUGH TO
REMOVE THE MOISTURE OF THE PREVIOUS SEVERAL DAYS AND HENCE
PRECIPITATION CHANCES. CHANGES TAKE PLACE IN THE PATTERN MONDAY AND
SOME UNCERTAINTY ENTERS THE PICTURE DUE TO MODEL DIFFERENCES. WHILE
ECMWF AND GFS POINT TOWARDS A TROF SETTING UP OVER CALIFORNIA AND
SLOWLY MOVING EAST THE DGEX IS MUCH QUICKER IN MOVING A WAVE OVER
THE AREA. IN GENERAL EXPECT MUCH LOWER HEIGHTS OVER THE AREA AND
HENCE COOLER TEMPERATURES. LOWERED TEMPERATURES BUT I DID NOT GO AS
LOW AS GUIDANCE AS CONFIDENCE LOW IS LOW. THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA COULD SEE BREEZY CONDITIONS TUESDAY IF
THE MODEL DEPICTION OF THE DEEPER TROUGH OVER THE AREA COME ABOUT.

.FIRE WEATHER...THREAT OF DRY LIGHTNING DIMINISHED OVER CLARK COUNTY
TODAY WITH SOME STORMS PRODUCING AROUND A QUARTER OF AN INCH OF RAIN
AND LOW LEVELS BECOMING QUITE MOIST. LOW LEVELS REMAIN DRY ACROSS
THE REMAINDER OF SOUTHERN NEVADA SO KEPT THE RED FLAG WARNING GOING
UNTIL 9 PM.

.AVIATION...THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY WILL SEE ANOTHER BRIEF CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS FROM 5 PM TO 8 PM. OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE A CHANCE
FOR THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW AFTERNOON NEAR KLAS. THE MORMON MESA AND
PEACH SPRINGS CORRIDORS WILL SEE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH 8 PM
AS WELL.

TAFS AND TWEBS ADEQUATELY DESCRIBE EXPECTED WEATHER
CONDITIONS FOR AREA TERMINALS. SEE TAFS FOR KLAS...
KVGT...KDRA...KBIH...KDAG...KEED.

AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR AMENDED TAFS.
