AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
935 AM PDT WED APR 22 2009

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL BRING A FEW CLOUDS TO THE AREA
TODAY WHILE TEMPERATURES REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL. A STRONGER STORM
WILL THEN MOVE INTO THE DISTRICT BY FRIDAY RESULTING IN GUSTY WINDS
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING TO NEAR NORMAL BY
FRIDAY.
&&

.UPDATE...A WEAK UPPER LOW WAS LOCATED NEAR THE CHANNEL ISLANDS OF
CALIFORNIA THIS MORNING AND WAS CONTINUING TO MOVE EASTWARD PER
WATER VAPOR. SATELLITE SHOWS SOME CLOUDS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN IN WHAT LOOKS TO BE A DEFORMATION ZONE ACROSS
LINCOLN AND CENTRAL NYE COUNTIES. THE WRF SHOWS SOME MARGINAL
INSTABILITY IN THIS AREA AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT AN ISOLATED TSTM
DEVELOPS HERE THIS AFTERNOON. THUS HAVE UPDATED THE GRIDS/ZONES TO
INTRODUCE SOME ADDITIONAL CLOUDS AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS FOR THIS AFTERNOON IN THIS AREA. MAIN THREAT WILL BE
FOR DRY LIGHTNING GIVEN THE MOISTURE PROFILE. ALSO TWEAKED UP CLOUDS
SOME IN NORTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY. OTHERWISE IT LOOKS LIKE
ANOTHER VERY WARM DAY ACROSS THE AREA WITH SOME LOCALS NEAR RECORD
HIGHS. TONIGHT IT LOOKS LIKE LAS VEGAS HAS A VERY GOOD CHANCE OF
SETTING A RECORD HIGH MINIMUM TEMPERATURE AND THIS LOOKS TO HOLD FOR
THE REST OF THE METEOROLOGICAL DAY ON WEDNESDAY. ADDED A CLIMATE
SECTION BELOW WITH SPECIFIC NUMBERS. OTHERWISE NO CHANGES.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...GENERALLY LIGHT WIND EXPECTED THROUGH
LATE AFTERNOON THEN BECOMING SOUTH 8-10 KTS. SOUTH WIND INCREASES
THURSDAY MORNING WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS EXPECTED THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AS A STORM APPROACHES FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. SCT CIRRUS AND A
FEW CU OVER THE MTNS DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...GENERALLY LIGHT WIND UNDER 10 KTS EXPECTED ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGH MID DAY TODAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS INCREASE LATER THIS
AFTERNOON WITH BREEZY TO LOCALLY WINDY CONDITIONS ON THURSDAY AS A
STORM APPROACHES FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. SCT CIRRUS AND A
FEW-SCT CU EXPECTED OVER THE MOUNTAINS THE NEXT 24 HRS AS A WEAK
SYSTEM PASSES SOUTH OF THE AREA.
&&

.SHORT TERM...A WEAK LOW MOVING THROUGH THE RIDGE LOCATED OVER THE
CWA TODAY WILL BRING A FEW CLOUDS TO THE AREA. HOWEVER...THE MAIN
CONCERN IS THAT INSTABILITY WILL BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM OVER THE SOUTHERN SIERRA AND HAVE INCLUDED IN THE
FORECAST. WILL NEED TO MONITOR DURING THE DAY HOWEVER...AS NOT OUT
OF THE QUESTION THAT AN ISOLATED LIGHTNING STRIKE WILL BE SEEN OVER
THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...BUT AT THIS TIME CHANCES TO SLIGHT TO
MENTION IN THE FORECAST. WEAK LOW TO SHIFT EAST TODAY AS A TROUGH
DROPS INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST BY 00Z THURSDAY RESULTING IN AN
INCREASE IN SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE CWA. TIGHTENING SURFACE
GRADIENTS/FLOW ALOFT TO PRODUCE INCREASED SURFACE WINDS THURSDAY
ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA WITH LOW END ADVISORY LEVELS POSSIBLE IN THE
SOUTHWEST WIND PRONE AREAS. MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH
12Z FRIDAY ON TIMING OF TROUGH DROPPING SOUTH INTO NEVADA BUT
DIVERGE BY 12Z SATURDAY AS THE EURO/NAM ARE TRENDING A LITTLE SLOWER
AND DEEPER THAN THE GFS. FOR NOW WILL TEND TOWARDS A
COMPROMISE...THUS BRINGING INCREASED MOISTURE ACROSS THE FAR
NORTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT FOR A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL ALSO
RESULT IN POSSIBLE WIND ADVISORIES ONCE AGAIN ON FRIDAY. TEMPS WILL
BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL AGAIN TODAY WITH NEAR RECORD READINGS IN SOME
AREAS...THEN COOL INTO FRIDAY AS TROUGH SHIFTS INTO THE AREA
RESULTING IN NEAR NORMAL READINGS BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...MODELS ARE CURRENTLY DEPICTING A COLD FRONT MOVING
THROUGH THE CWA SATURDAY WITH GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT FOLLOWED BY MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS BEHIND THE FRONT. STILL PREFER THE ECMWF SOLUTION AND THE
CURRENT FORECAST IS BASED ON THIS SCENARIO. AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE
SATURDAY...THE AREA WILL REMAIN UNDER A NORTHERLY FLOW THROUGH
SUNDAY KEEPING TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL ALONG WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF SHOWERS OVER THE NORTHERN AREAS OF THE CWA. THE 00Z ECMWF AND NOW
THE 06Z GFS ARE SHOWING A SECOND LOW DROPPING SOUTH LATE MONDAY.
THIS WILL ONCE AGAIN BRING BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS BACK INTO THE
CWA MONDAY AFTERNOON AND TUESDAY FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER COOLING TREND
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THE ECMWF IS SHOWING A CUTOFF LOW OVER NEVADA
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WHICH WOULD ALSO LEAD TO UNSETTLED WEATHER
AND CONTINUED COOL TEMPERATURES.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY AS THE
TROUGH APPROACHES...RESULTING IN WIDESPREAD WIND GUSTS OVER 35 MPH.
IN ADDITION...THE AIR MASS WILL REMAIN QUITE DRY WITH MINIMUM
HUMIDITY VALUES BELOW 15 PERCENT IN MOST LOCATIONS. A FIRE WEATHER
WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON FOR SOUTHERN NEVADA
AND NORTHWEST ARIZONA ALONG WITH THE CALIFORNIA SIDE OF THE COLORADO
RIVER VALLEY. GUSTY WINDS ALSO EXPECTED ON FRIDAY...RESULTING IN
POSSIBLE CRITICAL CONDITIONS ONCE AGAIN FRIDAY...BUT WILL HOLD OFF
ON ANY STATEMENTS ATTM.
&&

.CLIMATE...RECORD TEMPERATURES ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND FOR
WARM LOW TEMPERATURES TOMORROW.
