AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
945 AM PST SAT MAR 2 2013

.SYNOPSIS...ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS NEVADA WILL BRING
ISOLATED SHOWERS TO THE SOUTHERN SIERRA NEVADA AND SOUTHERN GREAT
BASIN LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. THERE WILL BE A STRONGER
STORM FOR THE SECOND HALF OF NEXT WEEK...WHICH WILL USHER IN COOLER
TEMPERATURES...GUSTY WINDS...AND CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION.
&&

.UPDATE...THERE IS LITTLE NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN THE WEATHER THROUGH
THIS EVENING ASIDE FROM A SWATH OF HIGH CLOUDS MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN NEVADA. A LOOK AT SATELLITE LOOPS SHOWS A COUPLE
FEATURES OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC THAT WILL CHANGE THE WEATHER
BEGINNING SUNDAY MORNING AS A SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE PLUME BRINGS
CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS TO THE ENTIRE REGION. A TROUGH...CURRENTLY
NEAR 30N/140W...IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
COAST BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON THEN SLIDE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEVADA SUNDAY
NIGHT. THE 12Z NCEP AND LOCAL HIGH RES MODELS INDICATE A BELT OF
STIFF SOUTHWEST WINDS DEVELOPING FROM THE WESTERN MOJAVE DESERT TO
THE SPRING MOUNTAINS AND SOUTHERN CLARK COUNTY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. LOOKS LIKE A MARGINAL EVENT FOR WIDESPREAD GUSTS OVER 40
MPH...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO EVALUATE. THE MAJORITY OF THE MOISTURE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO SPREAD ACROSS CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF CALIFORNIA/NEVADA...BUT THE SOUTHERN NEVADA
MOUNTAINS COULD SEE SOME MEASURABLE RAIN/SNOW. TIME-HEIGHT SECTIONS
SHOW MOISTURE CONCENTRATED GENERALLY ABOVE 700 MB SO THE CLARK
COUNTY DESERTS SHOULD NOT SEE MUCH...THOUGH A FEW SPRINKLES MAY BE
POSSIBLE. THE GOING FORECAST HAS THESE ISSUES ADDRESSED AND NO
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES ARE NEEDED.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...LIGHT WINDS UNDER 8 KTS ARE EXPECTED
TODAY...FAVORING AN EASTERLY DIRECTION AT TIMES BETWEEN 18Z AND 03Z.
LIGHT SOUTH-SOUTHWEST DRAINAGE WINDS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. SCT CLOUDS
ABOVE 20K FEET EXPECTED THROUGH 06Z THIS EVENING THEN LOWERING TO
12K-15K FEET BY 12Z. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE IN
STRENGTH BETWEEN 12Z AND 18Z SUNDAY...BECOMING 17-22 KTS WITH GUSTS
TO AROUND 30 KTS DURING SUNDAY AFTERNOON. CLOUDS BASES ARE EXPECTED
TO LOWER TO 8K-10K FEET SUNDAY.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...OVERALL WINDS SHOULD FAVOR TYPICAL DIURNAL DIRECTIONAL
TRENDS THROUGH THIS EVENING AT SPEEDS OF 10 KTS OR LESS EXCEPT FOR
GUSTY WINDS IN THE OWENS VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH CLOUDS WILL
MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST TODAY BECOMING SCT CLOUDS AT 20-25K
FEET. SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA
SUNDAY MORNING...BECOMING GUSTY BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. CLOUDS ARE ALSO
EXPECTED TO LOWER TO 5-10K FEET...WITH SHOWERS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
302 AM PST SAT MAR 2 2013

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...AN EXTENSIVE PLUME OF
SUBTROPICAL HIGH CLOUDS HAS BEEN DRAWN NORTHWARD OVER THE PAST 24
HOURS TO OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST THIS MORNING. THE HIGH CLOUDS WILL
ADVANCE EAST INLAND ACROSS CALIFORNIA/NEVADA TODAY AND TONIGHT AS
RIDGE OVER THE GREAT BASIN WEAKENS AND SHIFTS EAST. ADDITIONAL
WARMING WILL OCCUR TODAY WITH CURRENT FORECAST HIGHS AT BISHOP AND
BARSTOW 3 DEGREES BELOW THE RECORDS FOR THE DATE. THE MODELS REMAIN
IN GOOD AGREEMENT SLIDING A SHORTWAVE TROUGH SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
AREA SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE FEATURE SHIFTS SOUTHEAST ACROSS
ARIZONA MONDAY. EVEN THOUGH THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS WEAK...MODELS
INDICATE PW VALUES WILL BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMAL FOR
EARLY MARCH. INCREASED POPS A LITTLE BIT MORE FROM THE SRN SIERRA
NEVADA EAST INTO LINCOLN COUNTY SUNDAY...AND ACROSS NORTHERN MOHAVE
COUNTY SUNDAY NIGHT. DO HAVE MORE UNCERTAINTY IN REGARDS TO POPS
ACROSS CLARK COUNTY. SOME ENSEMBLES SUGGEST A HIGH PROBABILITY OF
LIGHT QPF ACROSS NORTHEAST CLARK COUNTY BETWEEN 10 PM SUNDAY NIGHT
AND 4 AM MONDAY MORNING. WILL PASS CONCERNS ONTO FOLLOWING SHIFT.
SOME AREAS OF LINCOLN COUNTY MAY SEE UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH OF
LIQUID...ELSEWHERE LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH IS EXPECTED. OTHER
ISSUE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN PRE-FRONTAL WESTERLY WINDS ACROSS SAN
BERNARDINO...CLARK AND MOHAVE COUNTIES FROM LATE SUNDAY MORNING
THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. HI-RES MODELS INDICATE DOWNSLOPE SIGNATURE
DEVELOPING LATE TONIGHT IN THE LEE OF THE SPRING MOUNTAINS AND
POTENTIALLY IMPACTING RED ROCK CANYON WITH GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH
BETWEEN 8 AM SUNDAY MORNING AND 8 PM SUNDAY EVENING. A WIND ADVISORY
MAY BE NEEDED AS WELL AS FOR PORTIONS OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.
SUNDAY MAY BE THE WARMEST OF THE NEXT THREE DAYS DUE TO BETTER
MIXING EVEN UNDER CLOUDINESS. IT WILL BE COOLER ON MONDAY BEHIND THE
PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT EVEN AS A RIDGE ALOFT BUILDS BACK OVER THE
GREAT BASIN. ALSO...LOCALLY BREEZY NORTH WINDS EXPECTED DOWN THE
COLORADO RIVER VALLEY.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...SOUTHWEST FLOW INCREASES
TUESDAY AS LOW PRESSURE SITS OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST.
ALTHOUGH WINDS ALOFT WILL BE STRENGTHENING...WINDS AT THE SURFACE
SHOULD REMAIN GENERALLY LIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING TO WELL
ABOVE NORMAL. WEDNESDAY BECOMES A TRANSITION DAY AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY
ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE PACIFIC LOW AND EJECTS INLAND ACROSS THE
AREA. IT IS QUESTIONABLE IN HOW MUCH COOLING WILL TAKE PLACE
WEDNESDAY AND WILL DEPEND ON SEVERAL FACTORS INCLUDING CLOUD COVER
AND TIMING OF THE IMPULSE. FORECAST SOUNDINGS/MOS GUIDANCE GENERALLY
AGREE ON ABOUT 5 DEGREES OF COOLING FROM TUESDAY LEVELS OR STILL A
FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. SHOWER CHANCES ON WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE
CONFINED TO MAINLY THE NORTHWEST CWA. ADDITIONAL ENERGY IS FORECAST
TO MOVE INTO THE BACKSIDE OF THE TROUGH THURSDAY CARVING OUT A BROAD
TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHWEST AND RESULTING IN COOLER CONDITIONS ALONG
WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND GUSTY WINDS. WITHIN THE TROUGH...MODELS
FORM A CLOSED LOW OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FRIDAY AND TRACK IT SOUTH
OF THE AREA. THE GFS IS FURTHEST SOUTH WITH ITS SOLUTION TAKING IT
FROM NEAR THE POINT CONCEPTION AREA FRIDAY MORNING TO NORTHERN BAJA
FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS TRACK WOULD LIMIT SHOWER ACTIVITY WITHIN THE CWA
AND CONFINE IT TO THE FAR SOUTHERN AREAS FOR THE MOST PART. THE
ECMWF TRACK IS FURTHER NORTH AND FASTER THAN THE GFS BUT STILL WOULD
IMPACT MAINLY AREAS ACROSS THE SOUTH. GRID PRODUCTION MAINTAINS A
BROADBRUSH APPROACH WITH REGARDS TO THIS SYSTEM UNTIL BETTER MODEL
CONSENSUS IS REACHED.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR TYPICAL
DIURNAL DIRECTIONAL TRENDS UNDER 10 KTS THROUGH THIS EVENING. MAINLY
CLEAR SKIES THIS MORNING FOLLOWED BY FEW-SCT CLOUDS AOA 25K FEET.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...OVERALL WINDS SHOULD FAVOR TYPICAL DIURNAL DIRECTIONAL
TRENDS THROUGH THIS EVENING AT SPEEDS OF 10 KTS OR LESS EXCEPT FOR
GUSTY WINDS IN THE OWENS VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH CLOUDS WILL
MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST TODAY BECOMING FEW-SCT CLOUDS AT
20-25K FEET.
