AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
937 AM PDT MON APR 14 2008

.SYNOPSIS...A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST THIS EVENING...RESULTING IN THE FORMATION OF A COLD FRONT
OVER THE GREAT BASIN. THIS FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH NEVADA TUESDAY
INTO ARIZONA WEDNESDAY. GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF
THE FRONT MONDAY AND TUESDAY. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND
REMAIN STRONG BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL BE ABOUT 10-12 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL MONDAY BUT THEY WILL  FALL
ABOUT 8-10 DEGREES EACH DAY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
&&

.UPDATE...NO BIG CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST THIS
MORNING...WITH EVERYTHING LOOKING TO BE ON TRACK. THERE MAY HAVE TO
BE SOME SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT IN TIMING OF WINDS FOR THIS AFTERNOONS
PACKAGE...BUT ANY CHANGE WILL BE MINIMAL. WINDS WILL BE STRONG OVER
THE NEXT 48 HOURS AREAWIDE...AND ANTICIPATE EXTENDING THE WIND
ADVISORY ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES THROUGH THE NIGHT AND INTO
TOMORROW...INCLUDING SOUTHERN ZONES IN THE ADVISORY ON TUESDAY.
ALSO...DOWNSLOPE WINDS STILL LOOK GOOD THIS EVENING FOR THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA...BUT ALSO NEED TO SEE IF THE POTENTIAL EXISTS LEE OF THE
SPRING MOUNTAINS. THIS WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THE AFTERNOON FCST
PACKAGE.

&&
.AVIATION...LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS THROUGH 21Z WITH A TENDENCY TO
BE NORTHEAST 5-7KTS. INCREASING SOUTHWEST 10-20KTS WITH POSSIBLE
GUSTS TO 30 KTS BY 00Z THIS AFTERNOON. SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 10-20KTS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT AND INCREASE INTO THE 18-28KT RANGE
AFTER 15Z TUESDAY WITH POSSIBLE GUSTS TO 40KTS. POSSIBLE LLWS AND/OR
MECHANICAL TURBULENCE AFTER 12-19Z TUESDAY. SKIES WILL REMAIN MOSTLY
CLEAR THROUGH TUESDAY.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...GENERALLY LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS TO BECOME SOUTHWEST
10-20KT RANGE WITH LOCAL GUSTS TO OVER 35KTS. MAIN PROBLEM WILL BE
THE EAST SIDE OF THE SOUTHERN SIERRA WHERE MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTIVITY
WILL BE SEEN THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING WITH SURFACE GUSTS TO OVER
35KTS LIKELY IN THE OWENS VALLEY. STRONGER/GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS
POSSIBLE TUESDAY AFTER 18Z...ESPECIALLY DAGGETT...MORMON
MESA...PEACH SPRING CORRIDORS. GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE
ROUTES THROUGH TUESDAY.
&&

.SHORT TERM...IN SIMPLEST TERMS IT IS GOING TO BE WINDY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER THERE ARE SO MANY VARIATIONS IN CAUSE...TIMING
...DIRECTION AND INTENSITY FOR ANY GIVEN ZONE THAT IT WOULD BE
CONFUSING TO TRY AND COMMUNICATE ALL THE POSSIBLE HEADLINES IN ONE
ISSUANCE. GIVEN THIS COMPLEXITY...WE ARE CHOOSING TO HANDLE THE
HEADLINES ONE OR TWO PIECES AT A TIME. UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE
INTO WA/OR THIS EVENING. AS IT DOES...BAND OF STRONG MID-LEVEL WINDS
WILL IMPINGE ON THE CENTRAL SIERRA. MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTION IS ALMOST A
CERTAINTY BUT THERE IS SOME DOUBT AS TO WHETHER WE WILL SEE
DOWNSLOPE ACCELERATION AND ROTOR FORMATION OR IF IT WILL PRIMARILY
BE TRAPPED WAVES. SOUNDINGS FROM 4-KM WRF SUGGEST STABLE LAYER AT
MOUNTAIN TOP WITH BREAKING WAVE DEVELOPING BETWEEN 06-09Z. BASED ON
THAT...I UPGRADED WIND ADVISORY FOR THE SIERRA SLOPES TO A HIGH WIND
WARNING. IN THE PAST...WHEN MODELS PREDICTED AN OVERNIGHT DOWNSLOPE
WIND EVENT IN THE SPRING TIME... THE INITIAL SURGE OF STRONG WINDS
OFTEN DEVELOPED THE PRECEDING AFTERNOON WITH MAXIMUM BOUNDARY LAYER
EXPANSION. THEREFORE I STARTED THE WARNING THIS AFTERNOON EVEN
THOUGH BEST OVERALL SET-UP LOOKS TO BE LATE TONIGHT. STRONG
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON OVER PARTS OF EASTERN
CALIFORNIA AND CENTRAL NEVADA AS FRONTOGENESIS OCCURS IN THE
NORTHERN GREAT BASIN. BELT OF STRONGER WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY. ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH
FOR THE WESTERN MOJAVE DESERT TO INDICATE THIS. A WIND ADVISORY WILL
LIKELY BE NECESSARY FOR MANY OF THE SOUTHERN ZONES TUESDAY AS WELL.
THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION FROM NORTH TO SOUTH
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY RESULTING IN A SHIFT TO BRISK NORTHERLY WINDS
AND YET ANOTHER WIND HEADLINE FOR WEDNESDAY. FOR SOME AREAS THESE
NORTHERLY POST-FRONTAL WINDS WILL BE THE STRONGEST. NORTH WINDS
COULD BRIEFLY EXCEED WARNING CRITERIA ON THE NEVADA TEST SITE
TUESDAY AND DOWN THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY ON WEDNESDAY.

.LONG TERM...SYSTEM EXITING THE REGION THURSDAY WITH PORTIONS OF THE
EASTERN CWA STILL SEEING THE EFFECTS WITH LOCALLY WINDY NORTH WINDS
IN THE MORNING. BY THE AFTERNOON...HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO MOVE
OVERHEAD WITH LIGHTER WINDS AND WARMER AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES. THIS
TREND IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF FRIDAY BEFORE THE
EFFECTS OF ANOTHER STRONG PACIFIC LOW IS FELT OVER THE REGION.
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE BY LATE FRIDAY WITH WINDY CONDITIONS
AREAWIDE SATURDAY. AS WITH THE PREVIOUS SYSTEMS...THE TRAJECTORY
WILL KEEP MOISTURE WELL NORTH OF THE AREA. MODELS ARE GENERALLY IN
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SYSTEM WITH THE ECMWF SLIGHTLY FASTER AND
NOT AS DEEP AS THE GFS...ALTHOUGH BOTH ARE SHOWING A LOT OF COLD AIR
ALOFT. THIS IS CLOSER IN LINE THAN PREVIOUS RUNS AND CONFIDENCE IS
INCREASING. LOOKS LIKE A VERY UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THE
EXTENDED WITH WILD TEMPERATURE SWINGS AND BREEZY TO WINDY
CONDITIONS.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP OVER MUCH OF
SOUTHERN NEVADA AND NORTHWEST ARIZONA THIS AFTERNOON. CRITERIA FOR
RED FLAG WARNING WILL BE MET AS RELATIVE HUMIDITY FALLS WELL BELOW
15 PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SIMILAR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TUESDAY PROMPTING A WATCH FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON. AN
ADDITIONAL WATCH WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED FOR AT LEAST THE RIVER
ZONES ON WEDNESDAY AS VERY STRONG NORTH WINDS DEVELOP WITH PASSAGE
OF THE COLD FRONT.
