AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
1033 AM PDT FRI JUN 22 2007

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD OVER THE AREA TODAY.
AN APPROACHING PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING SLIGHTLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND LOCALLY BREEZY CONDITIONS THIS WEEKEND. MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES WILL PREVAIL THROUGH SUNDAY.
&&

.UPDATE...SOME INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER AS CIRRUS CLOUDS MOVE IN TO
THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST BUT NOT ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY A FORECAST
UPDATE. OTHER CONCERN WILL BE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. FAIRLY SURE I
WILL ISSUE A WARNING OR OUR NORTHERN ZONE THIS AFTERNOON AND A WATCH
FOR WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FOR LATE SATURDAY AND INTO THE
EVENING.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...STILL LOOKS REASONABLE TO SEE WIDESPREAD GUSTS TO 35
MPH OR GREATER SATURDAY AFTERNOON IN ESMERALDA...NYE AND LINCOLN
COUNTIES WHILE RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL REMAIN QUITE LOW WITH
SINGLE DIGITS EXPECTED IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS.
WILL BE UPGRADING THE WATCH FOR THOSE AREAS SHORTLY. ALSO LOOKING AT
WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO WHERE PROGS SHOW INCREASED WINDS FORM THE
SYSTEM GOING ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TOMORROW. WILL BE ISSUING A
WATCH LATER FOR THERE AS WELL.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
325 AM PDT FRI JUN 22 2007

.SHORT TERM...UPPER HIGH OVER THE AREA TODAY WILL GET SUPPRESSED
SOMEWHAT TO THE SOUTHEAST OVER THE WEEKEND AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
GRADUALLY MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
AFTER A HOT DAY TODAY...TEMPERATURES WILL COOL A BIT OVER THE
WEEKEND IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING TROUGH. NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED BY SUNDAY. MEANWHILE THE AIR MASS WILL
REMAIN QUITE DRY AND FAIRLY STABLE WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. THE MAIN
ISSUE WITH THE APPROACHING TROUGH IS INCREASING WINDS. BREEZY SOUTH
TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN. SUNDAY WILL LIKELY BE SOMEWHAT BREEZY AS
WELL.

.LONG TERM...LITTLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST AS TROUGH PATTERN
IS FORECAST TO REMAIN ALONG THE COAST. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO LEAD TO
A DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE CWA. WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE A
MAJOR PROBLEM UNTIL LATE IN THE EXTENDED AS THE TROUGH BECOMES A
LITTLE DEEPER AND GRADIENTS TIGHTEN. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO OCCUR EACH AFTERNOON NEXT WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. SOME
MOISTURE MAY ALSO WORK INTO CENTRAL CALIFORNIA...BUT AMOUNTS ARE
FORECAST TO BE LIGHT AND SHOULD ONLY AFFECT THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
THE EASTERN SIERRA.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...CLEAR SKIES THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH
VARIABLE WINDS UNDER 6 KT EXPECTED BEFORE 19Z. SOUTH WINDS AROUND 10
MPH WILL DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON BETWEEN 19Z AND 02Z.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA: CLEAR SKIES AND SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW GENERALLY
UNDER 10 KTS EXPECTED WITH THE EXCEPTION BEING THE SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTY DESERTS WHERE WEST WINDS 15-20 MPH WILL DEVELOP AFTER 19Z.
&&

.VEF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
.NV...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN FIRE ZONES 460...461 AND 462 SATURDAY.
.AZ...NONE.
.CA...NONE.
