AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
216 PM PDT TUE JUN 18 2013

.SYNOPSIS...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL
LEAD TO BREEZY TO WINDY PERIODS THROUGH THURSDAY BEFORE WINDS LESSEN
SOME OVER THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL COOL TO BELOW NORMAL ON
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...HOWEVER EXPECT NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
OFF THE NORTHWEST COAST WILL SLOWLY TRANSITION EAST INTO THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES BY FRIDAY NIGHT. ISSUE FOR OUR AREA WILL BE THE
DRY...PERSISTENT SOUTHWEST FLOW LEADING TO HEIGHTENED FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS. HI-RES MODELS/MOS GUIDANCE SIMILAR SHOWING WINDS ON
WEDNESDAY SHOULD NOT BE AS STRONG AS TODAY...BUT INCREASE AGAIN ON
THURSDAY OVER NORTHWEST ARIZONA. INCOMING TROUGH WILL KNOCK DOWN
HEIGHTS LEADING TO BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY
BEFORE WARMING TREND BEGIN ON FRIDAY. GOOD CHANCE THE 17 DAY
STRETCH OF TRIPLE DIGIT HIGHS FOR LAS VEGAS WILL COME TO AN END
WEDNESDAY.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...LONG TERM GRIDS WERE IN GOOD
SHAPE BASED ON THE LATEST GUIDANCE AND ONLY MINOR TWEAKS WERE MADE.

THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE SITUATED BETWEEN A SAGGY TROUGH ACROSS THE
WEST COAST AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER NORTHERN MEXICO AND SOUTHERN
TX/NM. THIS WILL ALLOW SOUTHWEST FLOW TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE
MAJORITY OF THE PERIOD WITH CONTINUED NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. A FEW HIGH CLOUDS MAY DRIFT ACROSS THE AREA FROM TIME
TO TIME...BUT NO PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED.

LOOKING OUT A BIT FURTHER...BY THE MIDDLE TO LATTER PART OF THE WEEK
THE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE MAY PUSH A BIT FURTHER NORTH AND MAY ALLOW
FOR SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW TO DEVELOP. THIS WOULD OPEN THE DOOR FOR SOME
ADDITIONAL MOISTURE TO ADVECT TOWARDS THE AREA FROM MEXICO AND THE
GULF OF CALIFORNIA. IT'S STILL TOO EARLY TO LOCK ON TO THIS SOLUTION
BUT IT IS WORTH MENTIONING. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR OVER THE
COMING DAYS.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE DISTRICT
THROUGH THE WEEK WITH BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS CONTINUING...MOSTLY
ACROSS NORTHWEST ARIZONA THROUGH THURSDAY. THE RED FLAG WARNING HAS
BEEN EXTENDED INTO THURSDAY FOR ARIZONA ZONE 102.

GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE MOJAVE
DESERT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...BUT THE WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED
TO MEET THE 6 HOUR TIME FRAME NEEDED FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS.
IN ADDITION...LOCALIZED GUSTY WINDS MAY FORM LATE THIS
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING ON THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SOUTHERN SIERRA
DUE TO DOWNSLOPE WINDS...BUT ONCE AGAIN THE 6 HOUR CRITERIA WILL NOT
BE MET.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PERSIST
THROUGH THE EVENING AS A DISTURBANCE PASSES BY NORTH OF THE AREA.
GUSTS OF 25-30 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED. A BIT OF DISAGREEMENT IN THE
GUIDANCE AS TO WHEN THESE WINDS WILL DIE DOWN...FOR NOW HAVE BROUGHT
THE WINDS DOWN AFTER 14Z WEDNESDAY...BUT THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
GUSTY WINDS TO PERSIST A BIT LONGER. WINDS SHOULD FAVOR A SOUTHWEST
DIRECTION THROUGH THE PERIOD. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND NO SIGNIFICANT
WEATHER THROUGH THE PERIOD.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 15-25 WITH GUSTS OF 25 TO 35
KTS ON AVERAGE EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE EVENING. A WEAK
BOUNDARY WILL PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT...BRINGING SOME
LIGHT NORTH/NORTHWEST WINDS IN ITS WAKE AS FAR SOUTH AS A
KNID-KVGT-KSGU LINE. GENERALLY LIGHTER WINDS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY
EXCEPT ACROSS MOHAVE COUNTY WHERE GUSTY WINDS WILL DEVELOP AGAIN IN
THE AFTERNOON.
&&

.VEF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NV...RED FLAG WARNING UNTIL 8 PM PDT THIS EVENING FOR NVZ460>462.
AZ...RED FLAG WARNING UNTIL 8 PM MST THIS EVENING FOR AZZ102.
     RED FLAG WARNING FROM 2 PM TO 8 PM MST WEDNESDAY FOR AZZ102.
