AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
950 AM PST TUE NOV 29 2011

.SYNOPSIS...RELATIVELY MILD DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY. A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE WEATHER WILL
THEN BE SEEN AS A COLD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DIVES INTO SOUTHERN
NEVADA BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY
STRONG WINDS...LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW TO THE SOUTHERN NEVADA AND
NORTHWEST ARIZONA MOUNTAINS...AND MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES AREAWIDE
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
&&

.UPDATE...A BAND OF CIRRUS CLOUDS CONTINUES TO SINK SOUTHWARD AND
OUT OF THE AREA THIS MORNING PER SATELLITE. SO THE FORECAST OF
THINGS TRENDING TOWARDS MORE SUN IN SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA
FOR THIS AFTERNOON STILL LOOKS GOOD. HIGH TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON ARE A
BIT OF A WILDCARD. WE WILL HAVE WAY MORE SUN THAN WHAT WE SAW
YESTERDAY BUT WITH WEAK MIXING AND A SHALLOW INVERSION STILL AROUND
SOME LOWER VALLEY LOCATIONS MAY NOT WARM MUCH IF AT ALL OVER
YESTERDAY WHILE OTHER SPOTS ESPECIALLY AROUND 3000 FEET OR SO WILL
LIKELY WARM UP. I MADE A FEW TWEAKS TO SOME AFTERNOON HIGHS MAINLY
TO BUMP A COUPLE SPOTS UP A DEGREE OR TWO.

PER THE UPCOMING STORM WE WILL LIKELY BE ISSUING SOME WIND HEADLINES
WITH THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE. WE WILL ALSO BE TAKING A BETTER LOOK AT
WHAT TO DO WITH THE WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES. ONE MAIN CONCERN AFTER
BRIEFLY LOOKING AT THE 12Z GFS WILL BE THE PLUMMETING SNOW LEVELS ON
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING AS THE SYSTEM DEPARTS. IF THIS
RUN OF THE GFS IS CORRECT...SNOW MAY PAY A VISIT TO SOME AREAS WHERE
IT IS NOT SEEN THAT OFTEN. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY OF JUST
HOW MUCH MOISTURE WILL BE PRESENT THEN...THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL
NEED BETTER INVESTIGATING. ANOTHER ISSUE WILL CONTINUE TO CENTER ON
THE POSSIBILITY OF A SECOND SYSTEM FOR LATER THIS WEEKEND.
&&

.PREVIOUS UPDATE...
345 AM PST TUE NOV 29 2011

.SHORT TERM...A BIG CHANGE IS STILL IN STORE LATE WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY. MEANWHILE...MOST OF THE AREA WILL EXPERIENCE TRANQUIL
WEATHER THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

THE EXTENSIVE PLUME OF HIGH CLOUDS THAT HAS BEEN OVER
THE REGION WAS PUSHING SOUTHWARD IN RESPONSE TO A WEAK SHORTWAVE
THAT WAS MOVING DOWN THROUGH UTAH TOWARD THE FOUR CORNERS. THIS
CLEARING TREND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY. ANOTHER EFFECT FROM
THIS WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL BE TO REINFORCE NORTH BREEZES DOWN THE
COLORADO RIVER VALLEY TODAY WITH GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 MPH...
PARTICULARLY AROUND LAUGHLIN AND BULLHEAD CITY.

ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE COLD UPPER LOW CURRENTLY CROSSING THE
GULF OF ALASKA 50N/140W. THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO DROP INTO THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST TONIGHT THEN DIVE DOWN THROUGH NEVADA WEDNESDAY
AND BECOME CENTERED OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE 00Z
ECMWF/UKMET AND 06Z GFS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK OF THE
SYSTEM WHILE THE 00Z GEM GLOBAL AND 00Z/06Z NAM KEEP THE LOW CENTER
FARTHER EAST OVER UTAH AND NORTHERN ARIZONA DURING THE SAME TIME.
THE FORECAST IS BASED ON THE GFS/ECMWF SOLUTIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN
FAIRLY CONSISTENT AND THE NAM WAS NOT INCORPORATED. THE INITIAL
IMPACT OF THIS SYSTEM WILL BE STRONG NORTH WINDS DEVELOPING WITH THE
COLD FRONT AS IT SWEEPS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IT IS A LITTLE HARD TO SAY HOW
STRONG GUSTS WILL BE WITH THE FRONT...BUT SOMEWHERE IN THE 45 TO 55
MPH RANGE IS A GOOD BET. THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT THEN
INCREASES WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AND WILL LIKELY PRODUCE
WIDESPREAD NORTH WINDS GUSTING OVER 40 MPH THROUGH THURSDAY
AFTERNOON FOLLOWED BY A DECREASING TREND THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER
LOW PARKS OVER THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER VALLEY. THE NEXT POTENTIAL
IMPACT WILL BE PRECIPITATION DEVELOPING IN THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST
QUADRANT OF THE SYSTEM WHICH THE ECMWF AND GFS STILL DEPICT. THIS
WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TO
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 4500 FEET FROM 12Z THURSDAY THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEVADA AND NORTHWEST ARIZONA WHICH SUPPORT THE
WINTER STORM WATCH CURRENTLY IN EFFECT. ALSO...LIGHT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS MAY BE OBSERVED LOWER AS SNOW LEVELS DROP TO AROUND
3000 FEET OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA THURSDAY EVENING. HOWEVER...IF THE
TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM WERE TO END UP A LITTLE FARTHER TO THE EAST
LIKE THE GEM GLOBAL/NAM SOLUTIONS SUGGEST...IT WOULD LEAVE THE AREA
WITHOUT MUCH PRECIPITATION AT ALL. SO...SOME UNCERTAINTY IS STILL
THERE BUT IT IS WORTH HIGHLIGHTING THE POTENTIAL OF A SIGNIFICANT
SNOW EVENT.

.LONG TERM...PREVIOUS GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT HAS DECREASED WITH LATEST
MODEL RUNS. AT THE START OF THE EXTENDED FRIDAY MORNING THERE IS
DECENT AGREEMENT IN HAVING THE LOW SITING OVER THE
NEVADA/ARIZONA/CALIFORNIA JUNCTION. FRIDAY MORNING WILL SEE A
CONTINUATION OF THE STRONG NORTH WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT. THEY SHOULD
TAPER OFF LATER FRIDAY. THE MODELS ARE STILL IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN
HAVING THIS LOW EJECT EAST SATURDAY...THOUGH THERE ARE SOME
DIFFERENCES IN TRACK...SPEED AND STRENGTH OF IT. THE GEM AND ECMWF
DROP A SECOND LOW INTO THE BASE OF THE TROUGH LATE SATURDAY AND
CONTINUING INTO MONDAY WITH A CLOSED LOW SOMEWHERE OVER SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA OR ARIZONA.  I HAVE TRENDED THE FORECAST TOWARDS THE
ECMWF/GEM IDEA. THIS HAS LEAD ME TO INCREASING THE POPS FRIDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY FOR OUR EASTERN AREAS AND TO LOWER THE TEMPERATURES.
RIGHT NOW STILL NOT A HIGH DEGREE OF CONFIDENCE IN SECONDARY LOWS
POSITIONING AND MOISTURE CONTENT...SO NOT ALL THAT CONFIDENT IN POP
VALUES I DID PUT OUT OR CLOUD COVER FOR THE WEEKEND. THE ECMWF IS
PROGGING -32 TEMPERATURES AT 500MB OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA LATE
SATURDAY...WHICH IS QUITE COLD. IF THE MODELS STAY CONSISTENT ON THE
TRACK AND FEATURES OF THE SECOND LOW THIS WOULD REQUIRED LOWERING
TEMPERATURES AND SNOW LEVELS MORE THAN WHAT WE HAVE OUT NOW...ALONG
WITH FINE TUNING THE PRECIPITATION AREAS. AS OF NOW IT LOOKS LIKE
THE WEEKEND IS GOING TO BE A PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER FOR MOST OF
THE AREA.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EXPECTED THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THERE WILL BE VARYING AMOUNTS OF HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND FOLLOW THE
FAIR WEATHER PATTERN OF SOUTHWEST DURING THE NIGHT AND LIGHT AND
VARIABLE DURING THE DAY. WEST WINDS WILL INCREASE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...THEN SHIFT TO NORTHERLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A STRONG COLD
FRONT PASSES THROUGH. STRONG NORTH WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...WITH A CHANCE OF LOW CEILINGS AND RAIN AS
WELL.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING. VARYING AMOUNTS OF HIGH CLOUDS WILL BE PRESENT. WINDS WILL
BE LIGHT AND FOLLOW LOCAL DIURNAL PATTERNS.  A STRONG COLD FRONT
WILL PASS THROUGH THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN WEDNESDAY AND THE MOJAVE
DESERT WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS AHEAD OF IT AND
STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND IT. THE STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS WILL
PERSIST THROUGH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...AND CHANCES FOR RAIN AND SNOW
WILL ALSO SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION AS WELL.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST
ARIZONA...SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHERN NEVADA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

A STRONG PACIFIC STORM WILL MOVE DOWN THROUGH NEVADA WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT THEN SET UP ALONG THE CALIFORNIA AND
ARIZONA BORDER ON THURSDAY BEFORE SLOWLY SHIFTING EAST ON FRIDAY.
THIS STORM WILL RESULT IN GUSTY WINDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION
ON THURSDAY AND WILL ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR PRODUCING LOCALLY
HEAVY SNOW IN THE SOUTHERN NEVADA AND NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY
MOUNTAINS ON THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. A WINTER STORM WATCH IS
IN EFFECT EARLY THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT FOR THESE
MOUNTAINS. IT IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT SOME LIGHT SNOW MAY
BE SEEN OVER THE HIGHER VALLEY LOCATIONS AS WELL. SCATTERED
SHOWERS WITH LOCAL GUSTY WINDS WILL STILL BE SEEN ON FRIDAY AS THE
SYSTEM PULLS AWAY TO THE EAST.

THERE ARE NOW INDICATIONS THAT A SECOND AND EVEN COLDER STORM
COULD DIVE INTO SOUTHERN NEVADA AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY. THOUGH THERE IS CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY IN ANY
DETAILS AT THIS TIME...THIS SCENARIO WOULD BRING THE POSSIBILITY
OF PRECIPITATION WITH SNOW LEVELS DROPPING TO INCLUDE MUCH OF THE
EASTERN MOJAVE DESERT REGION.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...
SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY SIGNIFICANT WEATHER
CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY ACCORDING TO STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURES.
