Area forecast discussion, Apr 2, 3:53 PM PDT, 5 hours 48 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
353 PM PDT THU APR 2 2009
.SYNOPSIS...A VIGOROUS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION
FRIDAY RESULTING IN STRONG WINDS AREAWIDE ALONG WITH ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS. THE WIND AND SHOWERS WILL DECREASE FRIDAY NIGHT
AS THE LOW SLOWLY MOVES EAST IN THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. AN AREA OF
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE AREA THIS WEEKEND. THE NEXT STORM
MOVES INTO THE SOUTHWEST STATES NEXT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM...FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE IS RACING EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN
NEVADA AND WILL QUICKLY MOVE OVER NORTHERN ARIZONA TONIGHT. IN
RESPONSE TO SHORTWAVE SURFACE PRESSURE HAS BEEN FALLING ALL DAY IN
THE LEE OF THE SIERRA AND ACROSS SOUTHERN NEVADA. HIGH RESOLUTION
MODEL CENTERED ON THE SOUTHERN SIERRA AND SPRING MOUNTAINS INDICATE
A QUICK SHOT AT DOWNSLOPE WINDS THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND PART
OF TONIGHT. ADVISORY LEVEL GUSTS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE LEE OF THE
SRN SIERRA AND OWENS VALLEY AND WAS COINCIDENT WITH AREA OF
SUBSIDENCE SHOWING UP ON WATER VAPOR. THE AREA OF SUBSIDENCE WILL BE
REACHING THE SPRING MOUNTAINS/SHEEP RANGE BETWEEN 5 AND 6 PM. THE
SPRING MOUNTAIN HIGH RESOLUTION MODEL SUPPORTS A PERIOD OF STRONG
WINDS ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES AND POTENTIAL DOWNSLOPE EVENT FOR THE
RED ROCK CANYON AREA BETWEEN 6 PM AND 2 AM FRIDAY. SECONDARY WAVE
DIGS FURTHER SOUTH INTO THE GREAT BASIN/MOJAVE DESERT FRIDAY.
STRONGEST BELT OF WINDS ALOFT LIES OVER SAN BERNARDINO AND SOUTHERN
MOHAVE COUNTIES. NO CHANGE TO CURRENT HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THOSE
AREAS. COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE FOR LAS VEGAS LOOKS TO BE EARLY
AFTERNOON FRIDAY. FOR AREAS PRESENTLY NOT COVERED BY THE HIGH WIND
WATCH A WIND ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEED FOR THOSE AREAS FOLLOWING
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. DID INCREASE POPS A TAD FURTHER SOUTH THEN
PREVIOUS FORECAST DUE TO THE DEEPER/COLDER TROUGH. DID INCLUDE A
MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
NORTH AND EAST OF LAS VEGAS. THE WIND AND SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS TROUGH CONTINUES TO SLIDE EAST AND
RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST.
.LONG TERM...SUNDAY MORNING TO THURSDAY...SHARP RIDGE OVER THE AREA
SUNDAY STARTS OUT THE EXTENDED. MODELS COMING MUCH CLOSER TO
TOGETHER IN THEIR SOLUTIONS WITH THE ECMWF BEING THE ONE THE
FORECAST MOST CLOSELY FOLLOWS. WITH SUCH A SHARP RIDGE AXIS THE LOW
OFF SHORE WILL BE SLOW IN MOVING INLAND...WHICH IS WHAT THE MORE
CONSISTENT ECMWF/GEM MODELS HAVE BEEN PREDICTING. WINDS WILL PICK UP
MONDAY EVENING AS GRADIENTS AND STRONG WINDS ALOFT COME AROUND THE
BASE OF THE LOW. THE BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS WILL BE PRIMARILY IN
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA AND LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY. STILL CAN
NOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY FOR DOWN SLOPE IN THE SIERRA THEN. AS
LOW MOVES INLAND EXPECT SHOWER ACTIVITY BE BE POSSIBLE OVER MOST OF
THE AREA WITH THE BEST CHANCE OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. DO NOT
EXPECT SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS AS SYSTEM WILL WORK ONLY WITH WHAT IT
BRINGS WITH IT AND NO MOISTURE TAP IS EVIDENT. THURSDAY WILL SEE A
CLEARING BEHIND EXITING SYSTEM IN NORTHWEST FLOW. IT LOOKS LIKE
ANOTHER SYSTEM IS PROGGED ON THE HEELS OF THE FIRST IN THE NORTHWEST
FLOW BUT LOOKS FOR NOW TO BE A GLANCING BLOW FOR FRIDAY.
&&

THROUGH THE LATE EVENING BEFORE SUBSIDING AND CONTINUING FROM THE
