AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
325 PM PDT FRI JUL 8 2011

.SYNOPSIS...MONSOON MOISTURE IS STILL OVER MOST THE AREA AND WILL
KEEP THE CHANCES OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS GOING FOR
TODAY AND SATURDAY. ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
BRING HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS. A DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW IS EXPECTED
TO SET UP EARLY NEXT WEEK BRINGING LOWER THUNDERSTORM CHANCES OVER
THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA AND EVENTUALLY OVER THE ENTIRE
AREA BY MID WEEK.
&&

.SHORT TERM...VERY ACTIVE WEATHER GOING ON AND THIS WILL BE A SHORT
DISCUSSION. TROUGH THAT DROPPED INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST
OVERNIGHT AND SLOWED DOWN AND IS OVER SOUTHWEST UTAH TO EASTERN
CLARK/WESTERN MOHAVE COUNTIES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DIVIDING LINE
BETWEEN THE ACTIVE THUNDERSTORM AREAS ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF IT FROM
THE LESS ACTIVE ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE. SEVERAL SEVERE STORMS POPPED
UP IN MOHAVE AND CLARK COUNTIES ALONG WITH VERY HEAVY RAINS. THE
ACTIVITY SHOULD DIE DOWN LATE THIS EVENING OR EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.

MADE ALMOST NO CHANGES TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. STILL LOOKING FOR
DRIER AIR TO MOVE IN FROM THE WEST. HAVE TRENDED THE POPS DOWN FROM
WEST TO EAST EACH DAY TO REFLECT THIS. MOHAVE COUNTY WILL BE THE
LAST TO DRY OUT AND UNTIL IT DOES THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY COULD
STILL CAUSE FLOODING PROBLEMS.

.LONG TERM...MORNING MODELS ARE STILL AGREEING ON A SUBSTANTIAL
DRYING TREND FOR OUR AREA AS A PACIFIC TROUGH WORKS ITS WAY INTO THE
WEST COAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW END CHANCE
POPS IN MOHAVE COUNTY MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING BUT LOWERED THEM
FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THEN WENT WITH A DRY FORECAST
THEREAFTER. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
THANKS TO FALLING HEIGHTS WITH THE INCOMING TROUGH...AND HUMIDITY
WILL ALSO DECREASE MARKEDLY AS THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH
THE TROUGH FLUSHES OUT THE MONSOON MOISTURE. THERE IS SOME EARLY
INDICATION THAT THE MONSOONAL FLOW WILL RETURN NEXT WEEKEND BUT
THIS IS WAY TOO EARLY TO BELIEVE AT THIS POINT.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS TO
CONTINUE INTO EARLY EVENING ACROSS PORTIONS OF CLARK COUNTY AND
MAINLY IN THE PEACH SPRINGS CORRIDOR. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY AND
ERRATIC NEAR ANY THUNDERSTORMS. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES DECREASE A
LITTLE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THEN LOWER SIGNIFICANTLY
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED INTO THIS EVENING...WITH THE GREATEST COVERAGE ROUGHLY
SOUTH OF A LINE FROM INDEPENDENCE CA TO MESQUITE NV. THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES DECREASE A LITTLE SATURDAY...FOLLOWED BY A MORE SIGNIFICANT
DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST BEGINNING SUNDAY.
