AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
959 PM PST SAT FEB 7 2009

.SYNOPSIS...A STRONG PACIFIC STORM WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA TONIGHT RESULTING IN WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WITH HEAVY
SNOWFALL ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. UNSETTLED WEATHER IS THEN EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK AS A COLDER STORM MOVES ACROSS THE REGION
MONDAY AND POSSIBLY ANOTHER ONE DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.
&&

.UPDATE...REPORTS FROM NV ZONES 14 AND 15 INDICATE MOSTLY RAIN THIS
EVENING. THE COLD CORE OF THE STORM IS DIGGING FARTHER SOUTH THAN
PREDICTED...WHICH WILL KEEP SNOW LEVELS A BIT HIGHER IN THOSE ZONES.
REPLACED THE WINTER STORM WARNING WITH A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AND
EXTENDED THE VALID TIME UNTIL 10 AM AS MODELS AGREE ON PRECIP
BANDING MAINLY OVER ZONE 14 BETWEEN 12Z AND 18Z. ALL OTHER ZONES
UNCHANGED AT THIS TIME.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
350 PM PST SAT FEB 7 2009

.SHORT TERM...UPPER LOW CENTERED ALONG THE FAR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
COAST THIS AFTERNOON HAS BEEN PRODUCING MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN
ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH FLOODING REPORTED IN DEATH
VALLEY AND MINOR URBAN FLOODING IN AND AROUND LAS VEGAS. THIS LOW
WILL SHIFT SLOWLY EASTWARD TONIGHT PRODUCING MORE RAIN AND MOUNTAIN
SNOW. KEPT CURRENT WINTER STORM WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES GOING
THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE LOW WILL WEAKEN INTO AN OPEN WAVE SUNDAY WITH
SCATTERED SHOWERS DECREASING FROM WEST TO EAST. THE NEXT TROUGH IS
STILL SCHEDULED TO MOVE IN RIGHT BEHIND THE FIRST SYSTEM WITH
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS SPREADING INTO MAINLY THE NORTHERN TWO
THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AND PERSISTING CWA WIDE ON
MONDAY. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE LOWER WITH THIS SECOND SYSTEM AND LATER
SHIFTS MAY HAVE TO CONSIDER SNOW ADVISORIES IN SOME ZONES. WINDS
WILL ALSO PICK UP MONDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE MOJAVE DESERT WITH THE

SYSTEM APPEARS TO HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL MOISTURE TAP...SO PRECIP
AMOUNTS APPEAR THAT THEY WILL BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE...BUT WILL NEED
TO MONITOR FUTURE MODEL RUNS...FOR ANY CHANGE IN TRAJECTORY THAT
WOULD RESULT IN ADDITIONAL MOISTURE FEEDS FOR EITHER OF THE STORM
SYSTEMS.

HOURS AS SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THE
NIGHT...WHICH WILL KEEP CIGS AOB 3KFT AND REDUCE VISIBILITY TO
BELOW 4 MILES IN HEAVIER SHOWERS. RADAR AND SATELLITE IMAGERY
