AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
312 AM PDT TUE APR 9 2013

.SYNOPSIS...GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA
TODAY ALONG WITH A FEW SHOWERS OVER LINCOLN AND MOHAVE COUNTIES AS A
PACIFIC STORM CONTINUES TO SHIFT EAST OUT OF THE AREA. TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL. DRYING WITH WARMING CONDITIONS ARE THEN
EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. HOWEVER A WEAK STORM MAY
BRING A FEW SHOWERS TO THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...THE PACIFIC STORM WHICH
MOVED ACROSS THE CWA ON MONDAY WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT OUT OF THE
AREA DURING THE DAY TODAY. HOWEVER ENOUGH MOISTURE/DYNAMICS TO KEEP
MENTION OF SHOWERS MAINLY OVER THE LINCOLN AND MOHAVE COUNTY
MOUNTAINS THROUGH THIS MORNING..BEFORE ENDING DURING THE AFTERNOON.
BY TONIGHT...DRY NORTHWEST FLOW TO BE OVER THE ENTIRE CWA WHICH WILL
THEN CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY AS A WEAK SHORT WAVE RIDGE BUILDS ALONG
THE WEST COAST. A WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGH HOWEVER PUSHES THROUGH THE
RIDGE ON THURSDAY. MODELS ARE SHOWING THIS SYSTEM TO BE A LITTLE
STRONGER THAN PREVIOUS RUNS...WITH THE ECMWF INDICATING SHOWERS AS
FAR SOUTH AS THE CLARK COUNTY MOUNTAINS. FOR NOW WILL LIMIT A CHANCE
OF SHOWERS TO THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND
ADJUST IF NEEDED IN LATER PACKAGES. DRY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT RETURNS
TO THE REGION BY THURSDAY NIGHT.

THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM CONTINUES TO BE WINDS. STRONG
NORTH FLOW ALOFT ALONG WITH STRONG NORTHERLY SURFACE PRESSURE WILL
KEEP GUSTY NORTH WINDS OVER MUCH OF THE REGION TODAY. THE STRONGEST
WINDS WILL BE ACROSS INYO...ESMERALDA...CENTRAL NYE AND LINCOLN
COUNTIES...ALONG WITH THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY AND WILL ISSUED
WIND ADVISORIES FOR THESE AREAS. GRADIENTS WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE
TONIGHT AND ALTHOUGH GUSTY WINDS WILL BE SEEN ON WEDNESDAY...
ESPECIALLY IN THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY...OVERALL WINDS SHOULD BE
MUCH LESS ACROSS THE AREA.

TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL TODAY BEFORE A WARMING TREND
IS SEEN ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

.LONG TERM...DRY NORTHWESTERLY FLOW IN PLACE ON FRIDAY WILL CONTINUE
OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND...RESULTING IN DRY AND MILD
CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES APPROXIMATELY 8 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL. BY LATE SUNDAY...UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT TO THE
SOUTHWEST AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE BEGINS TO DROP SOUTH INTO THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND THE OVERALL LONGWAVE PATTERN SHIFTS TO
TROUGHING OVER THE WESTERN STATES. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE ON
SUNDAY ACROSS THE MOJAVE DESERT...AND STRENGTHEN FURTHER ON MONDAY
AS THE LOW CONTINUES SOUTH WITH THE MID LEVEL CENTER OVER OREGON BY
MONDAY AFTERNOON. LATEST GUIDANCE HAS A FRONT PASSING THROUGH THE
AREA ON TUESDAY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW...AND OVERALL EXPECT
SIMILAR IMPACTS AS THE MOST RECENT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WHICH JUST
PASSED OVER THE AREA MONDAY. WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN IMPACT...WITH
ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS ALREADY IN THE GRIDS ON DAY 7. PRECIPITATION
LOOKS TO BE MINIMAL GIVEN THE SYSTEMS CONTINENTAL PATH. MINIMAL
CHANGE WAS NEEDED...ONLY BUMPING UP WIND SPEEDS IN THE FAR EXTENDED
AS CONFIDENCE INCREASES.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE MORNING...AND EVENTUALLY SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST AS THE GRADIENT
BECOMES MORE NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTED. TIMING THIS IS ALWAYS
TRICKY...BUT BEST ESTIMATE IS CURRENTLY AROUND 23Z THIS AFTERNOON.
THAT BEING SAID...WINDS AT THIS POINT DO NOT LOOK TO GO MUCH FARTHER
EAST THEN 030 TODAY FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME...SO A SWITCH
FROM CONFIG #2 TO #3 MAY NOT BE NEEDED. WINDS WILL FINALLY SETTLE
BELOW 10 KTS BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...STRONG WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW WILL PERSIST OVER THE
AREA TODAY...WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 30 AND 35 KTS ON AVERAGE. ISOLATED
SHOWERS WILL BE SEEN OVER LINCOLN AND MOHAVE COUNTIES THROUGH THE
MORNING BEFORE DRYING DURING THE AFTERNOON.
