NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
310 PM PST SUN MAR 7 2010

CORRECTION TO SYNOPSIS WORDING

.SYNOPSIS...BRIEF CLEARING WILL TAKE PLACE LATE TONIGHT AND MONDAY
BEFORE ANOTHER PACIFIC STORM MOVES INTO THE AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING LOCAL GUSTY WINDS...SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS AND COLDER TEMPERATURES TO THE DISTRICT. DRIER AND WARMER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE BY THE END OF THE WEEK. &&

.SHORT TERM...UPPER LOW OVER THE CALIFORNIA/ARIZONA BORDER AS OF 22Z
SUNDAY IS CONTINUING TO SLOWLY SHIFT EAST. MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND
THE LOW HAS BASICALLY BEEN CONFINED TO INTERSTATE 15 SOUTH WITH
LIMITED SHOWER ACTIVITY OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA TODAY. DRY
SLOT NOW FROM ABOUT KINGMAN TO NEEDLES IS BEGINNING TO FILL IN WITH
A BAND OF CONVECTION FORMING ALONG THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY AND
ANOTHER BAND SEEN FURTHER TO THE SOUTHWEST. AS THE LOW SHIFTS EAST
TONIGHT THESE CONVECTIVE BANDS AND NORTHERN EXTENT OF THE MOISTURE
PLUME TO SHIFT EAST OUT OF THE CWA. SINCE THE SOUTHERN NEVADA
MOUNTAINS HAVE BEEN ON THE EXTREME NORTHERN PORTION OF THE MOISTURE
PLUME AND HAVE RECEIVE LIMITED PREC TODAY WILL CANCEL THE WINTER
ADVISORY FOR THIS AREA EARLY. HOWEVER...CONVECTIVE BANDS ROTATING
NORTH THROUGH SOUTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY WILL LIKELY PRODUCE BRIEF
HEAVY SNOW IN THE HUALAPAI MOUNTAINS AND WILL CONTINUE THE WINTER
WARNING THERE. IMPROVING CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON MONDAY AS CWA IS
BETWEEN SYSTEMS. NEXT SYSTEM DROPPING SOUTHEAST INTO CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA BY 06Z TUESDAY WHICH BEGINS THE NEXT ROUND OF WEATHER FOR
THE AREA. GOOD INDICATIONS OF DOWNSLOPE CONDITIONS FORMING ALONG THE
EAST SIDE OF THE SIERRA/WEST SIDE OF THE OWENS VALLEY/WHITE
MOUNTAINS AND ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF THE SPRING MOUNTAINS/WESTERN
PORTION OF THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY MONDAY NIGHT. WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND
WATCH FOR THESE POSSIBLE WINDS IN THIS PACKAGE. NEXT CONCERN IS THE
LOW ITSELF WHICH RAPIDLY MOVES SOUTHEAST WITH THE CENTER OVER
EXTREME SOUTHERN NEVADA BY 18Z TUESDAY AND THEN WELL EAST OF THE
AREA BY 12Z WEDNESDAY. BRIEF HEAVY PRECIPITATION MAY BE NOTED WITH
THIS SYSTEM AS IT TRANSITIONS OVER THE AREA WITH THE BEST CHANCE
BEING LINCOLN COUNTY/NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY. POSSIBLE ADVISORY LEVEL
SNOWS MAY BE SEEN. THE OTHER CONCERN IS THE COLD AIR ASSOCIATED WITH
THE SYSTEM AS SNOW LEVELS MAY DROP TO POSSIBLY BELOW 3000 FEET WHICH
MAY BRING SOME SNOW TO FOOTHILLS AROUND THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY.

.LONG TERM...ACTIVE PATTERN LOOKS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY PART
OF THE EXTENDED AS ANOTHER SYSTEM DROPS SOUTHEAST WEDNESDAY. THE
MODELS HAVE BEEN DEEPENING THIS SYSTEM OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF
RUNS...BUT IT STILL WILL BE MAINLY A GLANCING BLOW TO OUR NORTH AND
EAST. MAIN IMPACT WILL BE COOLER TEMPERATURES AND INCREASING
WINDS...ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING AS A FAIRLY
TIGHT NORTH/SOUTH PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPS. THIS WOULD MAINLY
IMPACT THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY WITH GUSTY WINDS OVERNIGHT. DID
INCREASE THE POPS ACROSS LINCOLN AND NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTIES
WEDNESDAY...BUT THIS IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE A SIGNIFICANT PRECIP
EVENT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN SET UP THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WITH
WARMING TEMPERATURES AND DRIER CONDITIONS. THE RIDGE IS FORECAST TO
FLATTEN SATURDAY AS ANOTHER SYSTEM PUSHES INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST. MAIN IMPACT FROM THIS WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES...BUT AS OF NOW PRECIPITATION IS NOT EXPECTED.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF
SMALL HAIL WILL BE SEEN THROUGH 06Z THIS EVENING BEFORE DISSIPATING.
CIGS AROUND 5K FEET MAY LOWER TO AROUND 3K FEET AT TIMES THIS
EVENING. SOUTHEAST WINDS 6-8KTS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME LIGHT AND
VARIABLE AFTER 04Z. EXPECT SCT-BKN CLOUDS AOA AFTER 06Z THIS EVENING
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING WITH LOWER CLOUDS IN THE VICINITY OF THE
MOUNTAINS.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THIS EVENING ACROSS CLARK...WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO...AND MOHAVE
COUNTIES. THUNDERSTORMS WITH SMALL HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE INTO
THIS EVENING. SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT FROM WEST TO EAST
OVERNIGHT. CIGS DOWN TO AROUND 2-3K FEET AT TIMES ACROSS MOHAVE
COUNTY WITH 4-5K FEET WEST. SOUTHEAST WINDS 6-10KTS WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH TO LIGHT AND VARIABLE OVERNIGHT. MOUNTAIN PEAKS...
