AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
320 PM PST SUN DEC 19 2010

.SYNOPSIS...A PERSISTENT SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING ABUNDANT PACIFIC
MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HEAVY SNOW WILL FALL IN
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE SIERRA THROUGH AT LEAST TONIGHT.
MEANWHILE VALLEY RAIN AND HIGH ELEVATION SNOW... GENERALLY ABOVE
8000 FEET...WILL BE SEEN OFF AND ON THROUGH WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES
WILL BE NEAR NORMAL.
&&

.SHORT TERM...MOST MOUNTAINOUS AREAS HAVE BEEN SEEING SIGNIFICANT
PRECIPITATION TODAY WITH MOSTLY LIGHT RAIN IN MANY VALLEY LOCATIONS.
HEAVY SNOW CONTINUED TO FALL IN THE SIERRA WITH A STORM TOTAL OF 45
INCHES SO FAR AT ASPENDELL THROUGH 2 PM TODAY. MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAIN HAS BEEN FALLING MUCH OF THE DAY ON THE LOWER EASTERN SIERRA
SLOPES AND IN THE OWENS VALLEY AND A FLOOD ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT
THERE. THE SNOW LEVEL REMAINS QUITE HIGH AND IT LOOKS LIKE RAIN HAS
BEEN FALLING UP TO OR EVEN ABOVE 8500 FEET IN THE SPRING MOUNTAINS.
THE MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AND THEN THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WHICH HAS
BEEN PARKED OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST WILL FINALLY BECOME AN
OPEN TROUGH AND MOVE THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
HEAVY SNOW WILL CONTINUE AT TIMES OVER THE SIERRA TONIGHT AND IT
LOOKS LIKE THROUGH MONDAY SO THE WINTER STORM WARNING WAS EXTENDED
UNTIL 4 PM MONDAY. WHILE THERE WILL BE SOME AREAS THAT RECEIVE A
DECENT AMOUNT OF RAINFALL TONIGHT...THE BIGGEST CONCERN LOOKS TO BE
LATE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP A BAND
OF PRECIPITATION GENERALLY ACROSS SAN BERNARDINO...CLARK...SOUTHEAST
LINCOLN AND NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY MONDAY BY LATE MONDAY WHICH IS
FORECAST TO PERSIST BASICALLY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. IT SEEMS THAT EACH
MODEL HAS PREFERRED A SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT LOCATION AND ORIENTATION OF
THIS BAND SO THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL
REMAINS UNCERTAIN. DUE TO THE PERSISTENCE OF THIS BAND OF
PRECIPITATION WE WILL BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF FLOODING
WITH RISES IN WASHES AND RIVERS IN PORTIONS OF CLARK...LINCOLN AND
MOHAVE COUNTIES LIKELY LATE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER
CONCERN IN ADDITION TO THE POSSIBILITY OF WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN WILL
BE HEAVY SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE LOWERING AND
CERTAINLY BY WEDNESDAY AND PERHAPS EARLIER...MAY BE LOW ENOUGH SUCH
THAT SNOWFALL COULD IMPACT TRAVEL ON HIGHER ROADWAYS IN LINCOLN
COUNTY AND INTO THE SPRING MOUNTAINS. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES OR
WARNINGS MAY BE NEEDED AT SOME POINT FOR THESE AREAS. DRYING WILL
FINALLY BEGIN TO TAKE PLACE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE TROUGH AXIS MOVES
INTO EASTERN UTAH AND RIDGING STARTS TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE ENDING OR DECREASING SIGNIFICANTLY
FROM WEST TO EAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES STILL LOOK TO BE
FAIRLY CLOSE TO NORMAL THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE END TO THE LONG MOISTURE
STREAM IS EXPECTED. MODELS IN AGREEMENT THAT THE TROUGH WILL BE EAST
OF THE CWA THURSDAY MORNING. THERE WILL BE RESIDUAL PRECIPITATION IN
THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE CWA. HAVE TRIMMED THOSE POPS FROM PREVIOUS
FORECAST AND THEY MAY NEED TRIMMING MORE IF MODELS STAY ON TRACK
WITH SPEED OF THE TROUGH. A BRIEF PERIOD OF RIDGING WILL MOVE IN ON
THE TAIL OF THE EXITING SYSTEM LATE THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR NORMAL THESE TWO DAYS. SATURDAY
WILL SEE A TEMPERATURE RISE TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS WITH SOUTHWEST
FLOW KICKING IN AHEAD OF THE NEXT TROUGH APPROACHING THE COAST. DAY
7 SUNDAY IS A TOUGH CALL. MODELS A BIT INCONSISTENT ON TIMING AND
DETAILS OF THE NEXT TROUGH COMING THROUGH. THEY HAVE SHOW A DECENT
AMOUNT OF MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM. HAVE KEPT IN THE POPS FAVORING
THE NORTHWEST 2/3RDS OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE CONFIDENCE IS
HIGHER.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...WINDS BIGGEST ISSUE FOR EARLY PART OF THE
00Z TAF. EXPECTED THE GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS TO PERSIST
THROUGH AT LEAST MIDNIGHT LOCAL WITH GUSTS AROUND 25 KNOTS. RAIN
WILL BE CONTINUOUS TONIGHT OVER THE SPRING MOUNTAINS AND OCCASIONAL
SHOWERS WILL ROLL OFF THE SPRINGS AND OVER KLAS. CEILINGS WILL RANGE
5000-7500 OVER THE VALLEY EXCEPT UNDER THE RAIN WHERE IT COULD BE
3500 FEET. MONDAY LATE MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON WILL SEE THE
RAIN BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AND POSSIBLY CONTINUOUS. CEILINGS WILL
DROP TO THE 4000-5000 FOOT LEVEL AND POSSIBLY LOWER. WINDS WILL BE
LESS THAN TODAY FROM THE SOUTH AT 10 TO 20 KNOTS.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...THE PACIFIC MOISTURE STREAM WILL CONTINUE OVER THE AREA
WITH THE MAIN AXIS SHIFTING SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN NEVADA AND NORTHERN
ARIZONA. EXPECT RAIN AND LOW CEILINGS TO MOVE SOUTH TO THESE AREA
WITH WIDESPREAD CIGS BELOW 3000 FEET. MOUNTAIN AREAS WILL CONTINUE
TO SEE THEIR TOPS OBSCURED AND HAVE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION. THE OWENS
VALLEY COULD POSSIBLY SEE RAIN END AND FOG SET IN MONDAY MORNING.
THE SIERRA WILL CONTINUE TO SEE HEAVY SNOW AND STRONG WINDS THROUGH
MONDAY.
