Area forecast discussion, Nov 19, 9:58 AM PST, 5 hours 9 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
958 AM PST THU NOV 19 2009
.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA TODAY WILL GIVE WAY TO A
PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THIS WILL RESULT
IN INCREASED WINDS AND THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVER THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA AND THE CENTRAL NEVADA MOUNTAINS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.
DRY NORTHWEST FLOW IS THEN EXPECTED SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS THE
SYSTEM MOVES EAST. TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY BE AROUND NORMAL
THROUGH SUNDAY.
&&
.UPDATE...SATELLITE SHOWS A CLEAR SKY ACROSS THE AREA AT THE TIME.
THE 12Z DESERT ROCK AND EDWARDS SOUNDINGS WERE BASICALLY BONE DRY
WITH ANY WARMING IN THE DESERT ROCK SOUNDING FROM 850 MB DOWN TO THE
SURFACE. THUS THE FORECAST FOR A SUNNY AFTERNOON WITH A HINT OF
WARMING OVER YESTERDAY LOOKS GOOD. NO CHANGES WILL BE MADE.
&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.../ISSUED AT 225 AM PST NOV 19 2009/...
.SHORT TERM...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED TODAY AS A FLAT RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE CWA. THIS RIDGE TO GIVE WAY TO A
PACIFIC TROUGH ON FRIDAY AND EARLY SATURDAY WITH THE TROUGH PUSHING
ONTO THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST BY 12Z FRIDAY AND THEN INTO UTAH
BY 18Z SATURDAY. THE MAIN BULK OF THE MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS WITH
THIS SYSTEM WILL BE TO THE NORTH OF THE CWA WITH ANY SOUTHERN
MOISTURE BEING GENERALLY WRUNG OUT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA. HOWEVER WILL CONTINUE MENTION OF ISOLATED SHOWERS OVER THE
SOUTHERN SIERRA AND CENTRAL NEVADA MOUNTAINS FOR LATE FRIDAY INTO
EARLY SATURDAY. MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE THE POTENTIAL
FOR STRONG WINDS OVER THE SOUTHERN SIERRA WITH LOCALLY BREEZY/WINDY
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES. CURRENT MODEL RUNS DO NOT
POINT TO A STRONG DOWNSLOPE CONDITION INTO THE OWENS VALLEY SO WILL
LIMIT WINDS TO THE CREST FOR NOW AND WILL CONTINUE WITH THE HIGH
WIND WATCH FOR THE MOUNTAINS. WINDS ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA
TO LIKELY INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST ON FRIDAY AND THEN SHIFT TO
THE NORTH AS THE TROUGH EXITS TO THE EAST ON SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES
TO REMAIN NEAR NORMAL INTO SATURDAY...HOWEVER WARMEST DAY WILL
LIKELY BE FRIDAY WITH GOOD MIXING/SOUTHWEST FLOW AND COOL A FEW
DEGREES ON SATURDAY UNDER THE NORTHERLY FLOW.
.LONG TERM...SYSTEM TO BRUSH BY TO THE NORTH SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH
LITTLE AFFECT ON OUR WEATHER OTHER THAN AN INCREASE IN AFTERNOON
NORTHERLY WINDS AND CONTINUED COOL TEMPERATURES. THE ECMWF HAS
TRENDED MORE IN LINE WITH THE GFS AND HAVE GONE AHEAD AND REMOVED
ALL MENTION ON POPS IN THE ZONES...ALTHOUGH STILL LEFT GHOST POPS IN
THE GRIDS. RIDGE LOOKS TO BUILD OVER THE AREA MONDAY WITH GRADUALLY
WARMING TEMPERATURES AND LIGHTER WINDS. GUIDANCE IS SHOWING
TEMPERATURES CONTINUING TO CLIMB NEXT WEEK WITH READINGS ABOUT 7-10
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.
