AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
355 AM PST WED MAR 3 2010

.SYNOPSIS...THE NEXT IN A SERIES OF STORM SYSTEMS WILL MOVE INTO
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TODAY. THE LOW WILL THEN TRACK EAST ACROSS
CENTRAL NEVADA THURSDAY PRODUCING RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS MAINLY
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE AREA. GUSTY WEST TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL ALSO OCCUR THROUGH THURSDAY. ANOTHER STRONG LOW WILL THEN
BRING A GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW TO MUCH OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST
OVER THE WEEKEND.
&&

.SHORT TERM...FOR THE MOST PART TODAY...OUR FORECAST AREA WILL BE
BETWEEN SYSTEMS. FIRST SHORTWAVE IS EXITING EAST CENTRAL NEVADA AT
THIS TIME WITH STRONGER LOW LYING OFF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST.
LOW WILL SLOWLY MOVE SOUTHEAST OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS
AFTERNOON WITH LEADING EDGE OF PRECIPITATION REACHING EXTREME
NORTHWEST INYO COUNTY. THE LOW WILL THEN MOVE DUE EAST ACROSS
CENTRAL NEVADA THURSDAY. LITTLE HAS CHANGED FROM LAST SEVERAL
NIGHTS.

BEST MOISTURE AND LIFT WILL BE CONCENTRATED AROUND THE LOW CENTER.
HIGHEST POPS WILL BE ACROSS CENTRAL NEVADA LATE TONIGHT AND
THURSDAY. THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS THEN TAPERS OFF AS ONE MOVES SOUTH
WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN CLARK COUNTY. ANY
NEW SNOW ACCUMULATIONS STILL WILL BE BORDERING ON ADVISORY CRITERIA
TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. CURRENT ZONES INDICATE UP TO 4 INCHES IN THE
SOUTHERN SIERRA ABOVE 7000 FEET TONIGHT AND UP TO 3 INCHES ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL NEVADA ABOVE 5000 FEET THURSDAY. AS THE SNOW LEVEL
LOWER WE COULD ALSO SEE ACCUMULATIONS UP TO AN INCH DOWN TO 4000
FEET. THUNDERSNOW REMAINS A POSSIBILITY TO OUR NORTH AS MODELS STILL
INDICATED NEGATIVE LI'S TONIGHT AND TOMORROW.

OTHER ISSUE WILL BE THE WIND. OFFICE RUN HI-RESOLUTION MODELS
INDICATE STRONG WINDS ALONG THE CREST OF THE SOUTHERN SIERRA...THEN
EAST ACROSS DEATH VALLEY AND INTO THE SPRING MOUNTAIN THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH MID-MORNING THURSDAY. THE POTENTIAL OF SOME DOWNSLOPE WINDS
IN THE LEE OF THE SPRING MOUNTAINS EXISTS TONIGHT. SO HAVE GONE
AHEAD AND ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FROM 6 PM UNTIL 10 AM THURSDAY.
ELSEWHERE...LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES STRONGER WEST TO
SOUTHWEST WINDS ACROSS THE HIGH DESERT OF SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTY...NORTHWEST ARIZONA AND PARTS OF CLARK COUNTY THURSDAY. THE
CURRENT ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE SOME OF THOSE
AREAS.

CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY IMPROVE THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW MOVES INTO
THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND A SHORTWAVE RIDGE QUICKLY SLIDES ACROSS THE
GREAT BASIN FRIDAY. LEADING EDGE OF THE PRECIPITATION SHIELD MAY
REACH THE FAR WESTERN ZONE FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE NEXT LOW DROPS SOUTH
ALONG THE CALIFORNIA COAST.

.LONG TERM...GENERALLY GOOD AGREEMENT NOW BETWEEN MODELS FOR THE
WEEKEND STORM. MODELS HAVE THE LOW CENTERED ALONG THE SOUTH CENTRAL
CAL COAST EARLY SATURDAY AND THEN MOVE IT INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
THAT EVENING. THE STORM THEN IS FORECAST TO PROGRESS EAST ACROSS THE
AREA OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 30 HRS. THE GFS IS INITIALLY SLIGHTLY
FASTER THAN THE ECMWF DUE TO A UPSTREAM KICKER MOVING INTO THE
PACIFIC NW BUT THE EC EVENTUALLY CATCHES UP EAST OF THE AREA. THE
MOISTURE FIELDS WITH THIS SYSTEM ARE NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE WITH MOST
AREAS WITHIN THE CWA LIKELY TO SEE A QUARTER INCH OR LESS BUT THERE
COULD BE SOME LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS UP TO A HALF INCH OR SO. MOST
OF THE AREA WILL SEE GUSTY SOUTH WINDS SOMETIME OVER THE WEEKEND BUT
WIDESPREAD WINDY CONDITIONS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED. NEXT WEEKS FORECAST
IS MURKY AT BEST. THE ECMWF BRINGS A STRONG LOW ACROSS THE EASTERN
PACIFIC MONDAY AND INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TUESDAY WHILE THE GFS
FORECASTS FLAT...DRY NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE SAME AREA. WILL LEAVE
IT AT THAT FOR NOW AND JUST LOAD CLIMO POPS AS AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
THE ECMWF SOLUTION.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS 10-15 KTS AND
OCCASIONALLY GUSTY TODAY. SOME DECREASE IN WIND EXPECTED OVERNIGHT
BUT WILL INCREASE AGAIN THURSDAY TO 10-20KTS AND GUSTY OUT OF THE
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST. FEW CLOUDS AROUND 10K FT THROUGH THE REST OF THE
NIGHT WITH OCCASIONAL HIGH CLOUDS DURING THE DAY. A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES THE VALLEY THURSDAY MORNING WITH GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS
EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE FRONT. SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP IN THE LOCAL MTNS
TONIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH AN ISOLATED SHOWER POSSIBLE IN THE VALLEY
AS WELL.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...FEW-SCT CLOUDS FROM 10-14K FT WITH OCCASIONAL HIGH
CLOUDS FOR MUCH OF TODAY. INCREASING CLOUDS IN THE SIERRA AND ACROSS
THE NORTHERN ZONES THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT WITH SHOWERS

ZONES TONIGHT. OCCASIONAL MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE EXPECTED.
