AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
245 PM PDT MON JUL 30 2007

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NORTHERN UTAH WILL MOVE
SLOWLY TO THE EAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS WILL PROVIDE
SOUTHEAST FLOW AND A REINFORCING SHOT OF MONSOONAL MOISTURE INTO
SOUTHEASTERN CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHERN NEVADA ON TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BE NEAR OR
SLIGHTLY BELOW THE SEASONAL NORMS.
&&

.SHORT TERM...THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING QUITE ORGANIZED ACROSS YAVAPAI
COUNTY AND BEGINNING TO MOVE INTO MOHAVE COUNTY. THIS TREND SHOULD
CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. RADAR AND SATELLITE ESTIMATES OF 2
TO 3 INCHES PER HOUR HAVE BEEN OCCURRING WITH THESE STORMS.
ELSEWHERE...THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN MAINLY ANCHORED TO THE HIGHER
TERRAIN ACROSS CLARK...LINCOLN AND EXTREME EASTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES. GFS SEEMS TO HAVE BEST HANDLE ON CURRENTLY SCENARIO. A
VORT MAX LOCATED COCONINO COUNTY IS SLOWLY MOVING TO THE WEST AND
WAS PROPERLY DEPICTED IN THE GFS. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE TO ENHANCE
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ACROSS THE REGION THAT IS UNDER THE FLOOD
WATCH...CLARK...MOHAVE AND EXTREME EASTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES
INTO THE EVENING HOURS. ADDITIONALLY...A WEAK UPPER LEVEL JET ACROSS
NORTHEAST NEVADA IS PROVIDING UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE ACROSS SOUTHERN
NEVADA AT 00Z THIS AFTERNOON. THIS IS THE MAIN MECHANISM FOR THE
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY LOCATED ACROSS LINCOLN COUNTY. AS THE CENTER OF
HIGH PRESSURE CURRENTLY OVER NORTHERN UTAH SLOWLY DRIFTS TO THE EAST
OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO...SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL PROVIDE A
REINFORCING PUSH OF MONSOONAL MOISTURE SHOULD MOVE INTO SAN
BERNARDINO...CLARK...AND MOHAVE COUNTIES.

.LONG TERM...DUE TO CURRENT WEATHER CONCERNS CONCENTRATED ON THE
WEDNESDAY TO FRIDAY TIME FRAME WITH ONLY A QUICK LOOK AT THE
EXTENDED BEYOND THAT. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY LOOK TO BE CONTINUED
MOIST AND UNSTABLE IN THE EASTERN 1/3 TO 1/2 OF THE CWA. HAVE
INCREASED POPS A LITTLE ON WEDNESDAY AS GFS DOES BRING ANOTHER WAVE
THROUGH THE AREA. MODELS ARE DIFFERING A BIT RUN TO RUN WITH THE END
OF WEEK AND WEEKEND. MAIN THEME IS FOR TROUGHING TO BRING IN
SOUTHWEST FLOW AND DRYING. KEPT WITH THIS BY MAINTAINING THE
INHERITED POPS THAT COME DOWN CONSIDERABLY THIS WEEKEND ON.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...THUNDERSTORMS FORMING UP TO THE EAST IN
NORTHWEST ARIZONA IS OCCURRING EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THERE IS STILL
A 50 PERCENT CHANCE FOR A SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORM TO CROSS THE LAS
VEGAS AREA FROM EAST TO WEST THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND BRING
WITH IT THE ATTENDANT PROBLEMS OF OUTFLOW...HEAVY RAIN...AND THE
OTHER THUNDERSTORM ASSOCIATED HAZARDS. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD
BE OVER BY AROUND 06Z. THE PEACH SPRINGS AND MORMON MESA CORRIDORS
WILL HAVE THE MOST PROBLEMS WITH STORMS. THE DAGGETT AND BEATTY
CORRIDORS WILL HAVE THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL BUT TO A LESSER DEGREE AND
THE STORMS WILL BE MORE CONCENTRATED AT THE LAS VEGAS ENDS. TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY OF THIS WEEK LOOK TO ACTIVE AGAIN WITH THE
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAINFALL IS MAIN
HAZARD FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.WITH BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS
