AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
959 AM PST FRI MAR 12 2010

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION WILL PUSH EAST TODAY
AS ANOTHER STORM FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT
BASIN TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. THIS STORM WILL BRING GUSTY WINDS AND
COOLER TEMPERATURES TO THE ENTIRE REGION SATURDAY. RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS WILL BE CONFINED MAINLY TO SOUTHEAST NEVADA AND NORTHWEST
ARIZONA. THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE AWAY SUNDAY ALLOWING A SIGNIFICANT
WARMING TREND TO DEVELOP MONDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
&&

.UPDATE...CURRENT FORECAST ON TRACK AND ANTICIPATE NO SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES IN THE AFTERNOON FORECAST. HOWEVER WILL LIKELY ISSUE WIND
ADVISORIES FOR SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FOR SATURDAY. AWAITING THE
FINISH OF LOCAL MODEL RUNS TO DECIDE ON ANY WIND PRODUCTS FOR THE
SPRING MOUNTAIN AND/OR WESTERN LAS VEGAS VALLEY OR OTHER AREAS.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...415 AM PST FRI MAR 12...SHORT TERM...THE UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE DESERT SOUTHWEST UP THROUGH THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES WILL BE ON ITS WAY EAST TODAY AHEAD OF A PACIFIC
LOW DIGGING TOWARD NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE LATEST ECMWF AND GFS
SOLUTIONS ARE PREFERRED SINCE THEY ARE VERY CLOSE WITH THE FORECAST
TRACK OF THE LOW CENTER DROPPING INTO NORTHERN NEVADA SATURDAY
MORNING THEN DIVING DOWN THROUGH SOUTHWEST UTAH SATURDAY AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING. THE 06Z NAM IS A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH WITH THE
SYSTEM. THE MAIN IMPACT WILL BE STRONG WINDS AS THE COLD CORE MOVES
DOWN THROUGH EASTERN NEVADA AND SOUTHWEST UTAH SATURDAY. RIDGETOP
WINDS WILL INCREASE CONSIDERABLY TONIGHT OVER THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA...BUT PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY INHIBIT ANY SIGNIFICANT
DOWNSLOPE POTENTIAL THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. HIGH RESOLUTION CROSS
SECTIONS STILL DO NOT LOOK FAVORABLE FOR DOWNSLOPE WINDS PUSHING
INTO THE WESTERN OWENS VALLEY EXCEPT FOR POSSIBLY A QUICK SHOT 14Z
TO 18Z SATURDAY. THEN POST FRONTAL NORTH WINDS WILL SPREAD DOWN
THROUGH INYO...ESMERALDA AND CENTRAL NYE COUNTIES FROM MID MORNING
THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS AROUND 45 MPH LIKELY. THESE WINDS
WILL PUNCH DOWN THROUGH SOUTHERN NEVADA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING. STRONG WEST WINDS ACROSS THE SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTY DESERTS WILL OCCUR SATURDAY WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 50 MPH A
GOOD BET. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE INDICATIONS OF DOWNSLOPE WINDS ALONG
THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SPRING MOUNTAINS AND WESTERN LAS VEGAS
FOOTHILLS SATURDAY MORNING AROUND 18Z...CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH IN
WARNING LEVEL WIND SPEEDS WITHIN THE FORECAST AREA AT THIS TIME.
REGARDING PRECIPITATION...A PLUME OF MOISTURE WILL MOVE INTO THE
SOUTHERN SIERRA LATER TODAY THROUGH THIS EVENING THEN QUICKLY PUSH
EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT. A FEW INCHES OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED ON THE EAST
SLOPES BUT NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT AN ADVISORY. LINCOLN AND NORTHERN
MOHAVE COUNTIES WILL LIKELY SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW INCHES OR
MORE OF SNOW AS THE CENTER OF THE SYSTEM MOVES OVERHEAD SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ANOTHER AMPLIFIED RIDGE BEGINS TO DEVELOP
BEHIND THE SYSTEM SUNDAY FOR A FEW DEGREES OF WARMING BUT NORTH
WINDS WILL PERSIST...ESPECIALLY DOWN THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY.

.LONG TERM...A BIG WARM-UP WILL TAKE PLACE STARTING MONDAY THAT WILL
BRING THE AREA A REAL TASTE OF SPRING THANKS TO AN UPPER RIDGE THAT
BUILDS INTO THE WEST. HIGH TEMPS WILL WARM TO ABOUT 2-4 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL ON MONDAY...THEN WARM FURTHER TUESDAY AS HEIGHTS RISE
FURTHER AND TEMPS ALOFT RISE AS WELL. USING A BLEND OF THE 850 AND
700 MB TEMPS WOULD YIELD HIGHS ABOUT 8-12 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR
TUESDAY AND THIS WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY. AN UPPER TROUGH
MOVING INTO THE PAC NW ON WEDNESDAY WILL HELP TO MIX THINGS THEN
BETTER THAN ON TUESDAY SO THAT WILL LIKELY BE THE WARMER OF THE TWO
DAYS ACROSS THE AREA. EITHER TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY COULD WIND UP
BEING THE FIRST 80 DEGREE HIGH OF THE YEAR IN LAS VEGAS AND 90
DEGREE HIGH IN DEATH VALLEY.

THINGS CHANGE BY THE THURSDAY AS AN UPPER TROUGH BEGINS TO DIG SOUTH
ACROSS THE WEST. THIS WILL RESULT IN TEMPS DROPPING ACROSS OUR AREA
BUT THE QUESTION STILL REMAINS HOW MUCH. MODELS ARE SHOWING QUITE A
SPREAD IN HOW DEEP OF TROUGH DEVELOPS ACROSS THE WEST WITH THE ECMWF
CONTINUING TO SHOW A COLD CLOSED LOW FORMING AND HEADING INTO UTAH
BY FRIDAY. WHILE NOT AS COLD AS THE ECMWF SOME OF THE GFS ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS AND THE GEM TREND TOWARDS A TROUGH SWIPING US. OVERALL WE
HAVE CONTINUED WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER THE
EASTERN PARTS OF THE AREA BUT EXPANDED GHOST POPS AND CLOUDS A
LITTLE FURTHER WEST. HIGH TEMPS LOOK TO LOWER TO AT LEAST A FEW
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL BY NEXT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND COULD BE EVEN
LOWER IF THE ECMWF TURNS OUT CORRECT.

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...LIGHT WINDS MAINLY FOLLOWING DIURNAL
DIRECTIONAL TRENDS THROUGH TONIGHT UNDER INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS. A
SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE AREA ON SATURDAY MORNING AND MOVE THROUGH
ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON RESULTING IN GUSTY WINDS AND POSSIBLE MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS AND SHOWERS TO THE AREA INCLUDING THE VALLEY.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...WINDS WILL MAINLY FOLLOW DIURNAL DIRECTIONAL TRENDS
THROUGH TONIGHT. GUSTS OF 15-20 KTS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON IN
AREAS THAT FAVOR SOUTH WINDS SUCH AS THE OWENS VALLEY AND KDRA.HIGH
CLOUDS WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN PARTS OF THE AREA TODAY. A SYSTEM
MOVING IN TONIGHT WILL SPREAD LOWER CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION INTO
THE EASTERN SIERRA...OWENS VALLEY AND ESMERALDA COUNTY. KBIH COULD
SEE A FEW SHOWERS ALONG WITH CLOUD BASES LOWERING TO 4K-6K FEET.
GUSTY WINDS WILL OCCUR ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA SATURDAY AS THIS
SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH ALONG WITH SCATTERED SHRA AND SHSN OVER
SOUTHERN NEVADA AND MOHAVE COUNTY. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE AROUND 5K-6K
FEET INITIALLY THEN LOWER TO AROUND 3K-4K FEET BY SATURDAY EVENING.
