AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
325 AM PST FRI FEB 29 2008

CORRECTION TO WATCH/WARNING SECTION...HIGH WIND WATCH FOR CA

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL RESULT IN DRY CONDITIONS WITH WELL
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. HOWEVER A PACIFIC
STORM WILL BRING INCREASING WINDS TO THE REGION SATURDAY WITH STRONG
AND GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY ALONG WITH COOLER
TEMPERATURES SUNDAY.
&&

.SHORT TERM...UPPER LOW OFF NORTHERN BAJA CONTINUING TO ALLOW FOR
VARIABLE HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA
THIS MORNING AND WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY.
MEANWHILE REST OF THE CWA UNDER FLAT RIDGE. NEXT PACIFIC STORM TO
BRING A SLIGHT INCREASE IN CLOUDINESS TO THE CWA BUT MAIN CONCERN
WILL BE WINDS. STORM TO PUSH INTO THE PACNW TONIGHT AND THEN CROSS
MAINLY TO THE NORTH OF THE CWA ON SATURDAY BEFORE DIGGING INTO THE
CENTRAL ROCKIES BY 12Z SUNDAY. SOUTHERN PORTION OF THIS SYSTEM TO
BRING ISOLATED SHOWERS TO THE NORTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND THEN SHIFT INTO MAINLY LINCOLN AND NORTHERN MOHAVE
COUNTY MOUNTAINS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY. DRYING TO THEN
TAKE PLACE SUNDAY NIGHT AS SYSTEM SLOWLY TRANSITIONS TO THE EAST. AS
MENTIONED...MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS SYSTEM IS WINDS. BY SATURDAY
MORNING...SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER THE SOUTHERN SIERRA TO CREATE
THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS ALONG THE CREST...BUT ALSO WEAK
DOWNSLOPE CONDITIONS THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. WILL
CONTINUE WITH HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THIS AREA. SURFACE GRADIENTS/LOW
LEVEL FLOW ALSO POINT TO INCREASED WINDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA
SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE SOUTHWEST WIND PRONE AREAS BEING
FAVORED...ESPECIALLY WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY. HOWEVER MAIN
PRESSURE GRADIENTS...AROUND 15MB BETWEEN RENO AND LAS VEGAS ALONG
WITH THERMAL GRADIENTS DEVELOP OVERNIGHT SATURDAY WITH COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE BETWEEN 06-09Z SUNDAY THROUGH THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY WITH
FRONT MOVING SOUTH ALONG THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY SUNDAY MORNING.
SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH NORTHERLY FLOW BEHIND WILL
LIKELY CREATE WIND ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
CWA...WITH HIGHER WINDS POSSIBLE SOME AREAS. ONE SUCH AREA IS THE
THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY AND WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THIS
AREA BEGINNING EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. FLOW ALOFT/PRESSURE GRADIENTS
TO BE ON THE DECREASE BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT GUSTY NORTH WINDS
EXPECTED THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE DAY SUNDAY. WITH THE SHORTWAVE RIDGE
OVER THE AREA TODAY AND SOUTHWEST FLOW...MIXING ON SATURDAY...EXPECT
TEMPERATURES TO BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL BOTH DAYS. AN INTERESTING QUIRK
DUE TO FEB 29 IS THAT THE HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR LAS VEGAS WILL BE
NEAR A RECORD FOR THE DAY...BUT CONSIDERABLY COOLER THAN THE RECORD
HIGHS FOR EITHER FEB 28 OR MAR 1. WITH THE COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS
THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT...LOOK FOR SUNDAY TEMPERATURES TO DROP 10-15
DEGREES MOST AREAS ON SUNDAY.

.LONG TERM...GUSTY NORTH WINDS...MAINLY ALONG THE COLORADO RIVER
VALLEY EXPECTED MONDAY MORNING BEFORE DECREASING IN THE AFTERNOON.
00Z MODEL DATA PROVIDED NO CLARIFICATION TO THE MID WEEK STORM
SYSTEM...IF THERE EVEN IS ONE. CONFIDENCE REMAINS VERY LOW AS THE
ECMWF CONTINUES TO FORECAST AN INTENSIFYING LOW OVER THE SOUTHWEST
WHILE THE GFS REMAINS OPEN AND PROGRESSIVE. TO EMPHASIS THE LEVEL OF
LOW CONFIDENCE...BY THURSDAY MORNING ONE THOUSAND MILES SEPARATES
THE ECMWF FORECASTED CENTER OF CIRCULATION NEAR SAN DIEGO AND THE
GFS FORECASTED POSITION OF THE TROUGH AXIS OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS.
OBVIOUSLY THIS WILL HAVE MAJOR IMPLICATIONS TO WHAT EVENTUALLY
VERIFIES OVER THE FORECAST AREA...TEMPERATURES NEAR OR SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL IF THE GFS VERIFIES FOR WEDNESDAY OR TEMPERATURES IN
THE 50S OR LOWER IF THE ECMWF VERIFIES. ALSO...ANY MOISTURE
AVAILABLE TO THE SYSTEM GETS WRUNG OUT OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN
AND ROCKIES LEAVING LITTLE CHANCE FOR PRECIP IN OUR AREA. TAKE THE
FORECAST FROM WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...LIGHT WINDS AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE
EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT. A STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE AREA
SATURDAY WITH INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS ACROSS THE LAS VEGAS
VALLEY. SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 10-20 KNOTS CAN BE EXPECTED AFTER 18Z
SATURDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY. A STRONG COLD FRONT IS
THEN FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH KLAS BETWEEN 06Z AND 09Z SUNDAY WITH
STRONG NORTH WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT. POST-FRONTAL WINDS COULD
POTENTIALLY REACH 25-35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 50 MPH. GUSTY NORTH
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...LIGHT WINDS AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED THROUGH
TONIGHT EXCEPT SCATTERED TO BROKEN HIGH CLOUDS OVER THE SOUTHERN
AREAS. A STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE AREA SATURDAY WITH
INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS ACROSS THE REGION. SOUTHWEST WINDS OF
10-20 KNOTS CAN BE EXPECTED AFTER 18Z SATURDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. A STRONG COLD FRONT IS FORECAST  TO MOVE THROUGH THE
NORTHERN AREAS LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENTUALLY THROUGH THE
ENTIRE AREA BY 12Z SUNDAY. NORTH WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT COULD
POTENTIALLY REACH 25-35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 50 MPH OR GREATER.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...AS NOTED IN THE SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...STRONG AND
GUSTY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY WITH
NORTH WINDS GUSTS ALONG THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY POSSIBLY REACHING
50 MPH OR GREATER SUNDAY MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON. AT THE SAME
TIME MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE GENERALLY BETWEEN 15
AND 19 PERCENT ACROSS THE LOWER VALLEYS SATURDAY AND AGAIN ON
SUNDAY. THIS WILL PLACE MANY AREAS NEAR RED FLAG CONDITIONS. HOWEVER
FIRE DANGER ACROSS THE AREA IS FOR THE MOST PART AT THE MODERATE
LEVEL...THUS OVERALL CRITERIA FOR A RED FLAG WATCH WILL NOT BE MET.
&&

.VEF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NV...HIGH WIND WATCH FOR SUNDAY FOR ZONE 21.
AZ...HIGH WIND WATCH FOR SUNDAY FOR ZONES 2 AND 36.
CA...HIGH WIND WATCH FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON
     FOR CAZ519-520.
