AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
1010 AM PDT TUE JUN 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR ONE MORE DAY
TODAY. WINDY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AS AN
UNSEASONABLY STRONG PACIFIC STORM APPROACHES THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
COAST. STRONGER WINDS WILL CONTINUE WEDNESDAY BUT TEMPERATURES WILL
FALL BELOW NORMAL AS THE PACIFIC STORM MOVES INTO NEVADA. ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS CENTRAL NEVADA WEDNESDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL RISE OVER THE WEEKEND WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER NORTHWEST ARIZONA AND
SPREADING WEST OF THE COLORADO RIVER EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&

.UPDATE...GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH LOOKS POSSIBLE IN THE LEE OF THE
EASTERN SIERRA SLOPES IMPACTING THE OWENS VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. WILL GO AHEAD AND ADD THEM TO THE CURRENT WIND ADVISORY. NO
OTHER CHANGES DONE THIS MORNING.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
257 AM PDT TUE JUN 28 2011

.SHORT TERM...THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...STRONG CLOSED UPPER LOW
CLEARLY VISIBLE ON WATER VAPOR LOOP WILL MOVE TO JUST OFF THE
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST TODAY WITH INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
OVER THE FORECAST AREA. HOT TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST WHILE BREEZY
TO WINDY CONDITIONS DEVELOP. MODELS CONTINUE TO TARGET MAINLY OUR
NORTHERN ZONES WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS AND THE CURRENT WIND
ADVISORY STILL LOOKS GOOD. THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY DESERT
AREA...NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY AND THE SIERRA WILL APPROACH ADVISORY
LEVEL WINDS BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WINDS WILL REMAIN JUST BELOW. THE
UPPER LOW WILL MOVE JUST INLAND TONIGHT TO THE NEVADA/CALIFORNIA
BORDER WEDNESDAY. MUCH OF THE AREA WILL HAVE WINDY CONDITIONS AS A
RESULT AND TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO COOL SOME WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS
NEAR OR A BIT BELOW NORMAL. MOISTURE WILL BE LACKING WITH THIS
SYSTEM BUT DYNAMICS AND WEAK INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE CLOSED
LOW WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO
THE SIERRA TONIGHT AND SPREADING ACROSS THE EXTREME NORTHERN PART OF
THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING AS THE LOW MOVES
INTO CENTRAL NEVADA. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW FAST THE
LOW MOVES EAST WEDNESDAY WITH THE NAM12 LAGGING BEHIND THE OTHER
MODELS A BIT. OVERALL THIS SHOULD NOT CAUSE ANY SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCES OTHER THAN MAYBE DELAYING THE DECREASE IN WINDS ACROSS
ESMERALDA COUNTY WEDNESDAY.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...DRY WESTERLY FLOW IS FORECAST
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED WELL TO THE EAST
OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE DEPARTING
WEDNESDAY SYSTEM WILL BE SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL THURSDAY
RISING BACK TO NORMAL ON FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO DEVELOP
WESTWARD OVER THE WEEKEND SETTING UP OVER OR JUST WEST OF THE FOUR
CORNERS REGION SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY RESULTING IN A RAPID RISE IN
TEMPERATURES. EXCESSIVE HEAT CRITERIA COULD BE MEET ANY DAY FROM
SATURDAY THROUGH THE REST OF THE 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND AS HIGH
PRESSURE INTENSIFIES THROUGH THIS PERIOD. THIS GENERAL CONFIGURATION
OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED EAST OF THE AREA WOULD ALLOW A SOUTH TO
SOUTHEASTERLY UPPER FLOW INTO THE CWA. MODELS ARE NOT FORECASTING
ANY OBVIOUS WAVES WITHIN THIS FLOW REGIME THAT COULD ENHANCE
MOISTURE ADVECTION BUT OVERALL THERE IS A STEADY INCREASE IN PWATS
AND INSTABILITY BEYOND SATURDAY AND INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT
WEEK. THE GFS FORECASTS PWAT VALUES OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA BETWEEN .25
AND .5 INCH ON SATURDAY RISING TO NEAR .75 INCH BY SUNDAY AND
MONDAY. 850MB DEWPOINT TEMPS ARE NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE AND DEEPER
LAYER MOISTURE AS DEPICTED BY 850-500MB THETA E REMAINS EAST OF THE
AREA FOR THE MOST PART BUT A GENERAL INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER IS
CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. ANY ROLE PLAYED BY TSTORM OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES IN
AIDING DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CWA WILL DEPEND ON THE AMOUNT AND
LOCATION OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER ARIZONA.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHING THE
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST THIS MORNING WILL BRING AN INCREASE IN
WINDS TODAY THAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WIND GUSTS FROM
25-30KTS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY WITH GUSTS OF 35-40KTS POSSIBLE ON
WEDNESDAY. SOME HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER COULD MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO APPROACH.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...GUSTY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TODAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH
GUSTS IN GENERAL FROM 30-35KTS TODAY AND EXCEEDING 40KTS IN MANY
AREAS ON WEDNESDAY. CLOUD COVER COULD INCREASE AS WELL BEGINNING
TODAY BUT GENERALLY REMAIN AOA 20K FEET.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A RED FLAG WARNING CONTINUES THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. FOR SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA AND THE COLORADO
RIVER VALLEY IN CALIFORNIA. WIDESPREAD SOUTHWEST WINDS OF GREATER
THAN 20 MPH WITH GUSTS OVER 35 MPH WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES
RANGING BETWEEN 5 AND 12 PERCENT ARE FORECAST. WINDS WILL DECREASE
TONIGHT WHILE HUMIDITY VALUES RECOVERY MAINLY BETWEEN 18 AND 30
PERCENT. EVEN STRONGER WINDS ALONG WITH SIMILAR HUMIDITY VALUES ARE
LIKELY ON WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MOSTLY FOCUSED
OVER LINCOLN...NYE...CLARK COUNTIES IN NEVADA AND MOHAVE COUNTY IN
ARIZONA. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH CONTINUES FOR WEDNESDAY FOR THE SAME
AREA...BUT DOES EXCLUDE NEVADA ZONE 460 AS GUIDANCE INDICATES LESS
WIND AND SOME RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECOVERY IN ESMERALDA AND NORTHWEST
NYE COUNTIES.
