AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
303 AM PST SAT JAN 22 2011
.SYNOPSIS...DRY CONDITIONS ALONG WITH WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR
OVER THE REGION TODAY. COOLER TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY NORTH WINDS
WILL RETURN TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF A COLD
FRONT. DRY WEATHER AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR NEXT
WEEK UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.
&&
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...REGIONAL RADAR AND
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THERE ARE ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS ALONG
HIGHWAY 50 BETWEEN FALLON AND AUSTIN. THIS BAND OF LIGHT SHOWERS
WILL DISSIPATE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS CLOUD TOPS ARE BEGINNING
TO WARM. A COLD FRONT DRAPED ACROSS FAR NORTHERN NEVADA WILL SAG
SOUTH THROUGH THE STATE TODAY BRINGING AN INCREASE IN NORTH WINDS AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN.
CONCERN FOR TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY WILL BE THE INCREASE IN NORTH
WINDS WITHIN THE LAKE MEAD NATIONAL RECREATION AREA...SOUTH DOWN THE
COLORADO RIVER VALLEY. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT SHOWING AN AREA OF
STRONG SUBSIDENCE OVER THE LAKE MEAD NATL REC AREA AND NORTHWEST
ARIZONA BEHIND AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING SOUTH OVER WESTERN
AREA. THIS DOWNWARD MOTION COULD PRODUCE A PERIOD OF STRONGER
GUSTS LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. BELIEVE NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IS
SLIGHTLY UNDERDONE WITH WIND SPEEDS AT NEEDLES AND LAUGHLIN/BULLHEAD
CITY. WITH THAT IN MIND DECIDED TO GO WITH A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE
LAKE MEAD/COLORADO RIVER ZONES FROM 7 PM PST THIS EVENING THROUGH 7
PM PST SUNDAY EVENING. OTHERWISE...DRY IT WILL BE DRY THROUGH THE
PERIOD. WARMEST DAY WILL BE TODAY...COOLER SUNDAY FOLLOWED BY
WARMING MONDAY.
.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE IN SOME FORM IS
FORECAST OVER THE WEST DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD WHICH SHOULD
GENERALLY LEAD TO DRY CONDITIONS AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. THE
ECMWF FORECASTS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE SIMILAR TO THE ONE EXPECTED
FOR THIS WEEKEND MOVING ALONG THE FRONT EDGE OF THE HIGH AND
IMPACTING THE AREA WEDNESDAY. IT BASICALLY WOULD LOWER TEMPERATURES
ABOUT 5 DEGREES AND INCREASE NORTHERLY SURFACE WINDS. SINCE IT WAS
THE ONLY MODEL SHOWING THIS...DECIDED TO IGNORE IT FOR NOW AND
MAINTAIN TEMPERATURES ABOUT 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...VARIABLE WINDS LESS THAN 10KTS THROUGH
TODAY WITH JUST A FEW CLOUDS AOA 15K FT AFTER 15Z AHEAD OF A WEAK
COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE AREA FROM THE NORTH. LOOK FOR GUSTY NORTH
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY.
FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE NORTH THIS AFTERNOON AS
A COLD FRONT PUSHES SOUTH INTO THE FORECAST AREA. THE FRONT WILL
CONTINUE SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT AND SUNDAY PRODUCING GUSTY
NORTH WINDS BEHIND IT. FEW-SCT CLOUDS AOA 15K FEET MAINLY ASSOCIATED
WITH THE FRONT.
