AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
1105 AM PDT THU MAR 25 2010

.SYNOPSIS...ONE STORM WILL MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA TODAY
FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER TONIGHT WHICH WILL CROSS OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA.
THE MAIN IMPACT FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE GUSTY WEST TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS TODAY AND THEN GUSTY NORTH WINDS ON FRIDAY. HOWEVER...SOUTH
CENTRAL NEVADA AND NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY WILL ALSO SEE A CHANCE
OF SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. QUIET WEATHER WILL RETURN
OVER THE THE WEEKEND WITH TEMPERATURES RISING BACK ABOVE NORMAL
SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. A STRONG SPRING STORM WILL LEAD TO
WINDY...COOLER AND UNSETTLED CONDITION DURING THE SECOND HALF OF
NEXT WEEK.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15-20 KTS WITH GUSTS
TO AROUND 25 KTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...WITH WINDS
BECOMING MORE SOUTHWESTERLY. HIGH CLOUDS WILL DECREASE IN COVERAGE
TOWARDS THIS EVENING. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE
VALLEY TONIGHT WITH THE MOST LIKELY TIME OF A FRONTAL PASSAGE AT THE
AIRPORT AROUND 12Z...GIVE OR TAKE AN HOUR. BEHIND THE FRONT WINDS
WILL BECOME NORTHWESTERLY WITH GUSTS OF 25-35 KTS POSSIBLE WITH THE
MOST LIKELY WINDOW FOR GUSTS OF 30-35 KTS MOST LIKELY BETWEEN 12Z
AND 16Z FRIDAY. FEW-SCT CLOUDS AS LOW AS 8K FEET TONIGHT AND EARLY
FRIDAY.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS ALL BUT
INYO COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH GUSTS OF 25-35 KTS.
LOCAL AREAS OF BLOWING DUST ARE POSSIBLE AND COULD REDUCE VSBY. A
COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT RESULTING IN
INCREASING NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS OF 15-25 KTS WITH GUSTS OF 25-35
KTS BEHIND THE FRONT. IN THE OWENS VALLEY...THESE WINDS WILL BEGIN
THIS AFTERNOON AND LAST INTO TONIGHT. SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS...MIXED
WITH OR FALLING AS ALL RAIN IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS...ARE POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN AND MOHAVE COUNTY THROUGH TONIGHT
AND CIGS IN THESE AREAS COULD BE AS LOW AS 4K-6K FEET. ELSEWHERE
CLOUDS WILL MAINLY BE HIGH LEVEL THROUGH THIS EVENING...THOUGH A FEW
CLOUDS AS LOW AS 6K-8K FEET ARE EXPECTED JUST AHEAD AND BEHIND THE
PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT TONIGHT.
&&

.PREVIOUS UPDATE...ISSUED AT 945 AM THU MAR 25 2010...DOWNSLOPE
WINDS LEE OF THE SIERRA AND WHITE MOUNTAINS HAVE DECREASED...SO WILL
LET THE WIND ADVISORY COVERING INFO COUNTY EXPIRE ON TIME AT 10 AM
PDT. THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY WILL BE STRONG
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE NEXT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE EXPECTED
TO PASS OVER THE REGION TONIGHT. BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS CAN BE
EXPECTED AREA WIDE...WITH THE STRONGEST PRE FRONTAL WINDS EXPECTED
ACROSS WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE
NIGHT. THE CURRENT FORECAST HANDLES THIS WELL...SO NO MAJOR UPDATES
ARE PLANNED AT THIS POINT. -KENNEDY-
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...FROM 338 AM PDT..TROUGH AXIS IS CURRENTLY MOVING
EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN SIERRA. SINCE 2 AM...A FEW STATIONS
BELOW/NEAR CANYON OPENS SUCH AS OAK CREEK CANYON RAWS HAVE RECORDED
HIGHER GUSTS AS THE RESULT OF DOWNSLOPE WINDS. BEST WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MID MORNING
THEN SUPPORT DISSIPATES. THE BELT OF STRONGER WINDS SAGS SOUTH
ACROSS SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY LATER TODAY. ONLY CHANGE TO CURRENT
WIND ADVISORY HIGHLIGHT WAS TO REMOVE DEATH VALLEY NATL PARK.
ELSEWHERE...IT WILL BE BREEZY TO WINDY AS TROUGH CONTINUES EAST
ACROSS NORTHERN NEVADA. A SECONDARY TROUGH WILL THEN DIG FURTHER
SOUTH AND MOVE QUICKLY ACROSS SOUTHERN NEVADA TONIGHT AND FRIDAY.
DID GO AHEAD AND INCREASE POPS SOME FOR SOUTHERN NEVADA AND
NORTHWEST ARIZONA. BEST AREA FOR ANY MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION WILL
BE IN LINCOLN AND NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTIES. MORE WIND EXPECTED
FRIDAY WITH NORTHERLY WINDS INCREASING FOLLOWING FRONTAL PASSAGE.
ADDITIONAL WIND ADVISORIES MAY BE REQUIRED TOMORROW. THE NORTH WIND
WILL CONTINUE TO LINGER THROUGH SATURDAY AS UPPER RIDGE STARTS TO
BUILD IN FROM THE WEST. TODAY WILL BE THE WARMEST OF THE NEXT THREE
DAYS WITH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND LOOKS PLEASANT WITH LIGHTER WINDS AND
WARMER TEMPERATURES.

.LONG TERM...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST ACROSS THE AREA
SUNDAY FOR A QUIET DAY WEATHER WISE. THE RIDGE IS THEN FLATTENED AS
ENERGY APPROACHES THE PACIFIC NW SUNDAY NIGHT BUT WILL HAVE LITTLE
IMPACT ON AREA WEATHER OTHER THAN ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB
ABOUT 5-10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS MILD AIR IS
IMPORTED INTO THE REGION. THEN THINGS CHANGE WEDNESDAY...MAYBE.

A LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC IS FORECAST TO SHIFT INTO
THE WESTERN STATES WEDNESDAY ACCORDING TO THE 00Z GFS BUT IS DELAYED
ABOUT 12HRS BY BOTH THE ECMWF AND GEM. MODEL TIMING OF THE EVENT
HAS BEEN AN ISSUE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL RUNS AND CONTINUES TO BE A
PROBLEM. AS MENTIONED EARLIER...THE 00Z ECMWF/GEM ARE MUCH SLOWER
WITH THE SYSTEM THAN THE GFS AND WOULD DELAY THE ONSET OF COOLING
AND PRECIP. IN FACT IF THE EC AND GEM ARE CORRECT...WEDNESDAY COULD
TURN OUT TO BE A VERY WARM DAY UNDER STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW. TO MAKE
THIS POINT...RAW GFS AND ECMWF DATA WERE LOADED INTO THE GRIDS AND
GAVE A HIGH OF 60 PER THE GFS AND 79 PER THE ECMWF FOR LAS VEGAS ON
WEDNESDAY. THUS THE QUESTION...WILL IT BE A DAY FOR A COAT OR A
SWIMMING SUIT. STAY TUNED. WHEN THE TROUGH DOES FINALLY ARRIVE
HOWEVER...FORECAST CHARTS SUPPORT GUSTY SURFACE WINDS AND A DECENT
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WITH MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES OVER A 24 TO
36HR PERIOD. THIS...THE MODELS AGREE ON AS EVIDENCED BY THE ECMWF
GIVING A HIGH TEMPERATURE ON THURSDAY THAT IS 21 DEGREES COOLER FOR
THE LAS VEGAS THAN WEDNESDAY. IN ADDITION...THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL
FOR DOWNSLOPE WINDS OVER THE EASTERN SIERRA SLOPES AS EARLY AS
TUESDAY BUT THE ORIENTATION OF THE UPPER FLOW DOES NOT LOOK AS
CONDUCIVE THIS MORNING AS IT DID YESTERDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY FOR
A LONG DURATION EVENT. BOTTOM LINE...EXPECT MUCH COOLER AIR TO
EVENTUALLY MOVE OVER THE AREA AND LOWER TEMPERATURES FAIRLY
DRAMATICALLY.
