AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
330 PM PDT THU JUL 10 2008

.SYNOPSIS...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS PORTIONS OF
MOHAVE...CLARK...AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES...WITH ISOLATED SEVERE
STORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EVENING SOUTH OF LAS VEGAS.
FRIDAY...ADDITIONAL MOISTURE WILL BRING BETTER CHANCES OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS TO MUCH OF THE REGION. FLASH FLOODING WILL BE A
SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO AREAS ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF INTERSTATE 15 AND
CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
&&

.SHORT TERM...ENHANCED EASTERLY FLOW THANKS TO HIGH PRESSURE
CENTERED TO OUR WEST AND AN EASTERLY WAVE TO OUR SOUTH CONTINUES TO
BRING MONSOONAL MOISTURE INTO THE AREA. THIS IS RESULTING IN WIDELY
SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS CLARK...SAN BERNARDINO...AND MOHAVE
COUNTIES...WHILE MORE DENSE COVERAGE PERSISTS EAST OF THE AREA. WITH
HIGH DEWPOINTS HANGING TOUGH AND GENERAL STORM MOTION TO THE
WEST/SOUTHWEST...THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. THE
MORNING SOUNDINGS OUT OF PHOENIX AND FLAGSTAFF BOTH INDICATED A
SURPRISING AMOUNT OF VERTICAL SHEAR/40KTS...AND THIS COUPLED WITH
SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY/LIS -3 TO -5/ AREAWIDE WILL MOST LIKELY
RESULT IN SOME ORGANIZED CONVECTION BY LATE AFTERNOON. SEVERE STORMS
WILL PROBABLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS CONVECTION MOVES INTO
THE MOIST UNSTABLE AIR/MU CAPE VALUES OVER 2000 JOULES/ OVER
SOUTHERN CLARK...MOHAVE...AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES...FLASH
FLOODING WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN WITH SLOW MOVING CELLS. OVERNIGHT
AND FRIDAY...FLASH FLOODING WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN...AS WE LOSE
SOME OF THE SHEAR...BUT MOISTURE ADVECTION CONTINUES. OPTED NOT TO
ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR FRIDAY...WANTING TO SEE HOW MUCH GETS
WORKED OVER TODAY...WILL LEAVE UP TO THE MIDNIGHT CREW FOR NOW.
CUTTING THE DISCUSSION SHORT DUE TO CURRENT WEATHER...BOTTOM LINE IS
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH MONSOONAL MOISTURE IN PLACE.

.LONG TERM...MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY CONTINUE TO REMAIN IN PLACE
ACROSS THE REGION ON SUNDAY. SHOULD SEE ODDS FOR CONVECTION INCREASE
FURTHER NORTH AND WEST IN THE CWFA...AS DEEPER MOISTURE CONTINUES TO
WORK INTO THESE AREAS. STEERING FLOW REMAINS WEAK ACROSS THE
AREA...ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN PORTIONS WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR SLOW
MOVING STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAINS AND ALSO LEAD TO A
THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING. MOISTURE CONTINUES TO REMAIN ACROSS THE
REGION INTO MONDAY AND TUESDAY LEADING THE CHANCES FOR CONVECTION TO
CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA. AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS DIPS INTO
THE PAC NW BY WEDNESDAY THIS WILL HELP TRANSITION THE FLOW ALOFT TO
MORE OF A SOUTHWEST DIRECTION. THIS WILL HELP TO DRY OUT THE CWFA
FROM WEST TO EAST AND THIS SHOULD RESULT IN THE COVERAGE AND ODDS OF
CONVECTION DECREASING BY LATER IN THE WEEK. JUICY AIR WILL TAKE
LONGER TO GET PUSHED OUT OF MOHAVE...CLARK AND LINCOLN COUNTIES SO
HAVE LEFT IN SOME SLIGHT CHANCES FOR HERE. THE ECMWF IS SLOWEST IN
DRYING THESE AREAS OUT AND HAS A GOOD RECORD IN HANDLING THE MONSOON
MOISTURE LATELY. HIGH TEMPS WILL SLOWLY REBOUND UPWARDS THROUGH THE
WEEK AS THE AMOUNT OF CLOUDS AND CONVECTION DECREASES. &&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS TONIGHT INTO
TOMORROW. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING IN THE PEACH SPRINGS
CORRIDOR AND TO A LESSER EXTENT THE DAGGETT CORRIDOR AND IN THE
SPRING MTNS AND SHEEP RANGE. AS THE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS MOIST AND
BECOMES MORE UNSTABLE...THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR TSTMS TO THE LAS
VEGAS VALLEY AND A BETTER CHANCE TO THE SURROUNDING MOUNTAIN RANGES.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL BRING EVEN BETTER CHANCES FOR A TSTM TO
OCCUR AT THE TERMINAL OR IN THE VCTY OF IT. CLOUD BASES WILL BE
GENERALLY AT/ABOVE 12K FEET...BUT MAY LOWER TO 7-10K FEET IN OR NEAR
TSTMS.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS TONIGHT AND AGAIN TOMORROW. SCT
TSTMS OVER MOHAVE COUNTY AND ISOLATED TSTMS OVER EASTERN SAN
BERNARDINO COUNTY THIS EVENING. THE ONLY OTHER CONCERN TONIGHT WILL
BE VSBY IN THE OWENS VALLEY AS EARLIER TODAY KBIH FELL TO MVFR
LEVELS. WITH NO REAL CHANGE IN THE WINDS ALOFT...VSBY MAY DROP TO
MVFR LEVELS IN THE OWENS VALLEY TONIGHT OR TOMORROW DUE TO
SMOKE/HAZE DRIFTING AROUND. SCT TSTMS AGAIN ON FRIDAY ACROSS MOHAVE
AND EASTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY WITH ISOLATED TSTMS IN CLARK
COUNTY. POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND GUSTY WINDS WITH STORMS.
THE COVERAGE AND CHANCES OF TSTMS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THIS WEEKEND
ACROSS THE AREA AS MOISTURE SPREADS FURTHER NORTH AND WEST. BEST
ODDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE ACROSS MOHAVE AND CLARK COUNTIES AND THE
DESERTS OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.
&&
