AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
937 AM PST WED NOV 28 2012

.SYNOPSIS...A SERIES OF STORM SYSTEMS WILL RESULT IN RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS...ALONG WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF DOWNSLOPE WINDS ALONG THE
EASTERN SLOPES OF THE SOUTHERN SIERRA TODAY...AND AGAIN AT TIMES
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL
CONTINUE TO ENJOY MILD TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH SOME INCREASE IN
WINDS. ON SUNDAY...THERE IS A BETTER CHANCE OF SEEING PRECIPITATION
SPREAD EAST INTO THE GREAT BASIN.
&&

.UPDATE...LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE AXIS OF THE SHORTWAVE
TROUGH THAT WILL PASS OVER THE FORECAST TODAY CURRENTLY RIGHT ALONG
THE CALIFORNIA COAST. MODEL INITIALIZATION OF THIS FEATURE WAS
GOOD...AND NO MAJOR CHANGES WILL BE NEEDED THIS MORNING TO THE
EXISTING FORECAST. THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE THE
THREAT OF DOWNSLOPE WINDS ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA DURING TROUGH PASSAGE. LOCALLY RUN 4KM HI RES MODELS ARE NOT
IN THE BEST AGREEMENT. MOST INDICATE STRONGER WINDS REMAINING ABOVE
5000 FEET...BUT ONE VERSION INDICATES DOWNSLOPE UP TO 45KTS
EXTENDING BEYOND HIGHWAY 395 EARLY THIS EVENING. WILL BE MONITORING
CLOSELY...BUT BASED OFF OF THIS MORNINGS SOUNDINGS AND UPSTREAM
DATA...WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING ANY ADVISORIES FOR NOW.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...WINDS UNDER 8 KTS FAVORING TYPICAL
DIURNAL TRENDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MID-DAY. STRONGER SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS WILL BEGIN TO MIX TOWARDS THE SURFACE EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...THOUGH LATEST GUIDANCE IS NOT AS BULLISH WITH THE MIXING
IN THE VALLEY. IF ENOUGH MIXING DOES OCCUR...EXPECT SOUTHWEST WINDS
OF 10-15KTS WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO AROUND 20-25KTS AFTER 21Z AND
LAST INTO THURSDAY MORNING. FEW CLOUDS AOA 25K FEET THIS
MORNING...BUT WILL INCREASE AND BECOME SCT-BKN THIS AFTERNOON.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH MID
DAY...BUT WILL INCREASE DURING THE AFTERNOON FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
MOST LOCATIONS WILL SEE WINDS IN THE 15-25KT RANGE WITH SOME
LOCATIONS IN THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL SEE
WIND GUSTS OVER 30KTS. FEW CLOUDS THIS MORNING AOA 25K FEET...BUT
WILL INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON TO SCT-BKN OVER THE ENTIRE AREA.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
354 AM PST WED NOV 28 2012

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS
THE AREA THIS MORNING WITH TEMPERATURES RUNNING SEVERAL DEGREES
WARMER THAN 24 HOURS AGO. MODELS HAVE STAYED CONSISTENT IN THE
OVERALL EVOLUTION OF THE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND
EVENTUAL IMPACTS FOR THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN AND MOJAVE DESERT.

TODAY...SATELLITE SHOWS CLOUD TOPS COOLING AND RAPIDLY EXPANDING
JUST ALONG THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST AHEAD OF POTENT
SHORTWAVE NEAR 40N/130W. BRUNT OF PRECIPITATION WILL FALL ALONG THE
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST THIS MORNING. SHORTWAVE
QUICKLY EJECTS INLAND ACROSS NORTHWEST NEVADA THIS AFTERNOON WITH
SOUTHERN PORTION OF WAVE CLIPPING THE SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING BRINGING A QUICK SHOT OF PRECIPITATION AND
WIND. HI RESOLUTION MODELS FROM LAST EVENING NOT AS AGGRESSIVE WITH
WINDS ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SOUTHERN SIERRA AND PENETRATING
INTO THE OWENS VALLEY THIS EVENING. IT WILL BECOME WINDY LATER TODAY
BUT DECIDED AGAINST ISSUING ANY HEADLINE AS THE SIGNATURE WAS NOT AS
IMPRESSIVE LOOKING. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL BE ABOVE 8000 FEET TODAY IN
THE SOUTHERN SIERRA WITH ANY ACCUMULATION GREATER THAN 3 INCHES
HAPPENING ABOVE 9000 FEET. THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
WINDS WILL INCREASE IN AND AROUND THE SPRING MOUNTAINS WITH SOME OF
THOSE HIGH GUSTS AROUND 30 MPH BEING FELT IN THE SOUTHWEST AND
WESTERN PART OF THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY.

THURSDAY...A PERSISTENT ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN
LIGHT OROGRAPHIC PRECIPITATION ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES OF THE
SOUTHERN SIERRA WITH A LITTLE SPILLING OVER THE CREST ONTO THE
EASTERN SLOPES. SIGNIFICANT RAIN WILL BE OCCURRING UNDER THE
MOISTURE PLUME WHICH WILL BE TAKING DIRECT AIM ON NORTHWEST
CALIFORNIA.

FRIDAY...THE MOISTURE PLUME WILL START TO SAG SOUTH ON FRIDAY IN
RESPONSE TO THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING INTO THE AREA. MODELS
SIMILAR WORKING PRECIPITATION SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL BE AROUND 8000 FEET WITH QPF
VALUES BETWEEN 0.25-0.40 INCHES...THAT WOULD TRANSLATE INTO 3 TO 5
INCHES. AN EVEN STRONGER ROUND OF WINDS IN THE LEE OF THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA IS POSSIBLE WHICH WOULD IMPACT HIGHWAY 395. A HEADLINE MAY BE
ISSUED IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IF MODELS STAY CONSISTENT WHICH WOULD
LEAD TO HIGHER FORECAST CONFIDENCE.

TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE RUNNING 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES IS
STILL EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE REGION THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE
EXTENDED PERIOD. SATURDAY WILL BE BASICALLY BETWEEN SHORTWAVES AS A
ZONAL FLOW SETS UP OVER THE AREA. THIS WILL STILL ALLOW FOR
PRECIPITATION TO AFFECT THE WEST COAST...BUT MAJORITY OF THE PRECIP
WILL AFFECT THE WESTERN SIERRA AND MOST WILL REMAIN NORTH OF INYO
COUNTY. ANOTHER AND STRONGER SHORTWAVE IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE
WEST COAST LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THE MODELS HAVE BEEN IN
DECENT AGREEMENT OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF RUNS AND IT LOOKS LIKE A
FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION PRODUCER FOR MOST OF NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. IT LOOKS LIKE THE BRUNT OF THE PRECIPITATION
WILL REACH INYO COUNTY LATE SUNDAY MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON.
INITIALLY THERE IS NOT A LOT OF COLD AIR WITH THIS SHORTWAVE AND
SNOW LEVELS LOOK TO START AROUND 8000 FEET...BUT THEN LOWER TO
AROUND 6000 FEET BY LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON. ITS POSSIBLE THAT SOME
TYPE OF WINTER WEATHER PRODUCT WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE EASTERN SIERRA
SLOPES SUNDAY AFTERNOON...BUT THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED AT A LATER
TIME. ANOTHER CONCERN FOR THE EASTERN SIERRA WILL BE THE POTENTIAL
FOR DOWNSLOPE WINDS SATURDAY NIGHT AND THEN AGAIN SUNDAY BEFORE THE
PRECIPITATION ARRIVES. HIRES MODELS ARE INDICATING THE WINDS MAY
EXCEED 50KTS APPROACHING THE OWENS VALLEY SO THIS TOO WILL NEED TO
BE WATCHED CLOSELY. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN PUSH ACROSS THE AREA
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND REACH SOUTHERN NEVADA LATE SUNDAY NIGHT. MOST
OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL STAY TO THE NORTH AND AFFECT AREAS OF NYE
AND LINCOLN COUNTIES WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AS FAR SOUTH AS
THE SOUTHERN NEVADA MOUNTAINS. WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL LIKELY
BE INTO THE WINDY CATEGORY WITH SOME GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND
THE FRONT. THERE IS NOT A LOT OF COLD AIR BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT
HIGH TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY WILL LIKELY FALL ABOUT 5-7 DEGREES FROM
SUNDAYS HIGHS...PUTTING US SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL. THE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO BE OUT OF THE AREA MONDAY WITH A DRY NORTHWEST FLOW OVER
THE AREA THROUGH TUESDAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING TO THE
NORTH WILL HELP CREATE GUSTY NORTH WINDS DOWN THE COLORADO RIVER
MONDAY EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...POTENTIALLY INTO ADVISORY
LEVELS.
