AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
305 PM PDT WED JUL 25 2007

.SYNOPSIS...DEEP MONSOONAL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE MOJAVE
DESERT AND SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN THROUGH THE WEEK AND UPCOMING
WEEKEND. AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED EACH
DAY...BUT COVERAGE WILL DECREASE BEGINNING THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
ALOFT MOVES IN FROM THE EAST.
&&

.SHORT TERM...ACTIVE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON WITH PLENTY OF
CONVECTION OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE CWA. SEVERAL FLASH FLOOD
WARNINGS HAVE BEEN SENT FOR MOHAVE...SOUTHERN CLARK...AND EASTERN
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES. SO FAR...NO LET UP IN THE STORMS AND EXPECT
THESE TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. DRIER AIR HAS WORKED INTO
THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE CWA AND A COUPLE OF STORMS
ON THE EDGE OF THE DRY AIR HAVE BEEN SEVERE. MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AND WILL BECOME TRAPPED UNDER THE
HIGH AS THE CENTER MOVES FURTHER WEST. THIS WILL LEAD TO MORE
ISOLATED STORMS...BUT ALSO INCREASE THE CHANCE FOR HEAVIER RAIN DUE
TO LIGHT WINDS THROUGH THE LOWER 500 MB. KEPT THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
IN PLACE THROUGH 9PM THIS EVENING.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
AS THE HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE FOUR CORNERS REGION MOVES BACK OVER
THE FORECAST AREA AND SITS THERE...THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF LINGERING
MOISTURE TO WORK WITH EACH DAY.  THIS WILL YIELD SCATTERED AFTERNOON
AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AREA WIDE.  REALLY DON/T SEE A
TRIGGERING MECHANISM TO INDICATE ONE AREA OVER ANOTHER.  FEEL THE
STORMS WILL BE HEATING AND OROGRAPHICALLY INDUCED AND THEN WILL MOVE
BASED ON THE DOMINATE WIND DIRECTION.

NOTICED AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WERE A FEW DEGREES HIGHER THAN
ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE SO LOWERED TEMPERATURES TO BE MORE IN LINE.
REALLY DON/T SEE MUCH CHANGE IN TEMPERATURES AND EXPECT THEM TO
CONTINUE TO RUN A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

&&
.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...THE CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON/EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ONCE AGAIN TODAY.  COVERAGE WILL STILL
BE WIDESPREAD AND NOT EXACTLY SURE IT WILL RAIN ON THE AIRPORT
ITSELF.  AT THIS TIME WILL USE A VICINITY TERM IN THE TAF TO DENOTE
THE UNCERTAINTY.  THE BEST CHANCE FOR ORGANIZED ACTIVITY WILL BE TO
THE EAST OF LAS VEGAS VALLEY.  ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND
EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEK AS MOISTURE BECOMES TRAPPED UNDER THE HIGH PRESSURE CENTER
THAT WILL MOVE BACK OVER THE AREA.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON AND EVENING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. STORMS WILL BE MORE ORGANIZED AND HAVE A
BETTER CHANCE FOR TRAINING FOR MOHAVE COUNTY...EXTREME SOUTHERN
CLARK COUNTY AND THE EASTERN PART OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.
OUTSIDE OF THOSE AREAS ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE.
WILL USE VICINITY FOR VGT...DRA...AND DAG.  THE LEAST CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE BIH SO WILL LEAVE ANY MENTION OUT OF THAT
TAF.  THE CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
DURING THE REST OF THE WEEK WITH LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED TO THE
WEATHER PATTERN.
