AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
958 AM PDT WED JUN 9 2010

.SYNOPSIS...A STRONG PACIFIC STORM WILL MOVE SOUTH ALONG THE WEST
COAST TODAY AND THEN OVER THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN LOCAL GUSTY WINDS...ISOLATED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND MUCH COOLER
TEMPERATURES INTO THE WEEKEND. THE STORM WILL MOVE OUT OF THE AREA
BY THE FIRST OF NEXT WEEK.
&&

.UPDATE...A BAND OF MAINLY HIGHER LEVEL CLOUDS CONTINUES TO PUSH
SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS NEVADA AND CALIFORNIA THIS MORNING AS THE UPPER
LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO WORK INTO THE PAC NW FROM THE PACIFIC. AS A
RESULT I UPDATED THE SKY COVER IN THE CURRENT FORECAST BASED ON THE
LATEST SATELLITE TRENDS. I ALSO MADE A FEW TWEAKS TO HIGH
TEMPERATURES FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THE ONLY OTHER CONCERN FOR THIS
AFTERNOON IS THAT DEWPOINTS ARE RUNNING LOWER THAN MOS. WE WILL HAVE
TO KEEP ANY EYE ON NORTHWEST ARIZONA BUT GIVEN THAT WINDS THERE ALSO
FELL SHORT OF 35 MPH+ GUSTS YESTERDAY AND GRADIENTS TODAY ARE ABOUT
THE SAME...IT LOOKS LIKE ANY FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL REMAIN
CONFINED TO ISOLATED AREAS.

FOR THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE WE WILL BE LOOKING AT WIND PRODUCTS A BIT
MORE WITH RESPECT TO WINDS ON THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY MORNING.
&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...ISSUED AT 315 AM WED JUN 9 2010...

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...UPPER LOW OFF THE PACNW
COAST TO SAG SOUTH THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WITH CENTER OF THE LOW
OVER EXTREME SOUTHERN NEVADA BY 12Z SATURDAY. ALL SHORT RANGE MODELS
IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS SYNOPTIC PATTERN...HOWEVER THE
DETAILS ARE GOING TO BE TRICKY. THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS SYSTEM
WILL BE WINDS. INCREASING SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS/FLOW ALOFT TO
ALLOW FOR GUSTY WINDS TO FORM OVER PORTIONS OF THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON WITH THE MAIN CONCERN BEING WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO AND
INYO COUNTIES AND WILL CONTINUE/ISSUE WIND ADVISORIES FOR THESE
AREAS. INCREASED GRADIENTS ALONG WITH THERMAL GRADIENTS TO SPREAD
WINDS STRONGER WINDS FURTHER EAST ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT WHICH IS FORECAST TO PUSH ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHERN NEVADA
BY 12Z FRIDAY. ADDITIONAL WIND ADVISORIES FOR THURSDAY MAY BE NEEDED
IN LATER PACKAGES. IN ADDITION TO THE GRADIENT WINDS...DOWNSLOPE
WINDS ARE POSSIBLE FOR THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA/WESTERN FOOTHILLS OF THE OWENS VALLEY ON THURSDAY. THE NEXT
CONCERN WILL BE TEMPERATURES. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
ONCE AGAIN TODAY WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY DUE TO
LOWERING HEIGHTS/THICKNESS AND INCREASED CLOUDS. MUCH COLDER
TEMPERATURES...15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW WHAT ARE EXPECTED THIS
AFTERNOON...WILL BE SEEN ON FRIDAY AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES OUT OF
THE AREA AND THE LOW SETTLES OVER THE CWA. THE SYSTEM WILL HAVE
LIMITED MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH IT AS IT DROPS OVER THE CWA...BUT
ENOUGH DYNAMICS/INSTABILITY WITH THE COLD POOL ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH
THE LOW CENTER TO PRODUCE ISOLATED/SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
MAINLY OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. PRECIPITATION
HOWEVER WILL BE LIGHT.

.LONG TERM...MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT THIS MORNING WITH A
LARGE UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST SATURDAY. ONLY
MINOR DIFFERENCES ARE FORECAST BETWEEN MODELS IN ALL PARAMETERS
INCLUDING STRENGTH...WIND...AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND POSITION.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE WELL BELOW NORMAL AND THE CURRENT
FORECASTED HIGH FOR SATURDAY IS AROUND 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL OR AT
THE LOW END OF THE GFS ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE. THE ACTUAL TEMP WILL
DEPEND ON HOW MUCH CLOUD COVER IS GENERATED AND THE AMOUNT OF SHOWER
ACTIVITY THAT OCCURS. SNOW SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS EVENT AS
ALL MODEL FORECASTED 700MB TEMPS SUPPORT SNOW LEVELS AT OR ABOVE THE
HIGHEST PEAKS. SINCE NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER IS EXPECTED WITH THIS
LOW...HAZARD PRODUCTS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.

THE LAST COUPLE OF GFS RUNS HANG THE LOW BACK OVER NEVADA SUNDAY AND
MONDAY WHILE THE ECMWF AND GEM MOVE IT OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. THE
CURRENT FORECAST FOLLOWS THE MORE CONSISTENT EC AND GEM THAT HAVE
BEEN SOLID IN THEIR RESPECTIVE FORECASTS FOR DAYS NOW. THIS ALLOWS A
WARMING TREND THAT WARMS TEMPERATURES BACK TO NORMAL LEVELS EARLY
NEXT WEEK. THE REMAINING DAYS IN THE EXTENDED THROUGH WEDNESDAY WILL
DEAL WITH MAINLY TEMPERATURE FORECASTING AND NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER
IS EXPECTED.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...SOUTH WINDS GUSTING TO NEAR 25KTS FOR THE
NEXT HOUR OR SO THEN BECOMING STEADY NEAR 12KTS. SOUTHWEST WINDS
WILL INCREASE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS REACHING TO AROUND
25KTS ONCE AGAIN. SKY COVER WILL BE LIMITED TO A FEW HIGH LEVEL
CIRRUS.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS TODAY WITH GUSTS IN THE 20-30
KNOT RANGE. SOME ENHANCED WIND GUSTS TO NEAR 35KTS ARE POSSIBLE THIS
EVENING IN KDAG. SKY COVER WILL BE LIMITED TO HIGH LEVEL CIRRUS.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...GUSTY WINDS WILL BE SEEN AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON WITH
MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES LOWERING TO BELOW 15 PERCENT...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS MOHAVE COUNTY AND SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY. HOWEVER 6
HOUR CRITERIA FOR WINDS/RH FOR SAN BERNARDINO IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE
MET AND ALTHOUGH ISOLATED RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL BE SEEN TODAY
OVER MOHAVE COUNTY...WIDESPREAD CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED. THUS
WILL NOT UPGRADE THE PREVIOUS FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR TODAY AND LET
IT DROP. HOWEVER AS THE PACIFIC STORM MOVES CLOSER TO THE AREA ON
THURSDAY...WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE WHILE AFTERNOON HUMIDITIES
REMAIN WELL BELOW 15 PERCENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. MOHAVE COUNTY
WILL SEE THE BEST CHANCE OF MEETING RED FLAG CRITERIA AND FOR THIS
REASON WILL ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THURSDAY. WILL NEED TO
LOOK AT THIS MORE CLOSELY IN THE AFTERNOON AS OTHER AREAS...MOST
NOTABLY SAN BERNARDINO AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEVADA MAY ALSO
REACH CRITERIA AS THURSDAY AFTERNOON PROMISES TO BE DRY AND WINDY
ACROSS MUCH OF THE DISTRICT.
