AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
300 PM PDT TUE SEP 24 2013
.SYNOPSIS...A VERY FALL LIKE WEATHER SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS RESULTING IN GUSTY WINDS AND MUCH COOLER
CONDITIONS. THERE IS A CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS CENTRAL NEVADA AND
NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY...MAINLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE OVER THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
OVER THE AREA ONCE AGAIN.
&&
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE UPCOMING PATTERN
DEFINITELY HAS A FALL FEEL TO IT. A LARGE UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES TO
PUSH SOUTH TOWARDS THE AREA AND WILL BRING WINDY CONDITIONS AND MUCH
COOLER TEMPERATURES TO THE REGION. WINDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
BEGIN IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS OVER THE SIERRA WHERE A HIGH WIND
WARNING WAS ISSUED FOR THE EASTERN SLOPES. A HIGH WIND WARNING WAS
ALSO ISSUED FOR THE SPRING MOUNTAINS BEGINNING THIS EVENING AND
EXTENDING THROUGH AT LEAST PART OF THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. A LARGE
CHUNK OF THE MOJAVE DESERT WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN SOUTHWEST WINDS
BY LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING AND A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE
AREAS EXPECTED TO SEE THE STRONGEST WINDS.
THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF A SHOWER OVER MAINLY THE NORTHERN AREAS
OF THE CWA...GENERALLY ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ONLY LIGHT PRECIP AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED. MUCH COOLER
CONDITIONS ARE ON THE WAY ALTHOUGH THE COLDEST AIR REMAINS NORTH OF
THE CWA. TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE AROUND 5-10 DEGREES
COOLER THAN TODAY.
LONG TERM...
DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN US WILL GRADUALLY FILL AND
EJECT NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE MIDWEST BY SATURDAY. THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY THE TROUGH IS STILL TO THE NORTH AND WEST. THIS WILL MEAN
THAT STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE UNDER NW-W FLOW. THIS IS ESPECIALLY
TRUE FOR FAVORED AREAS OF THE MOJAVE DESERT...ESMERALDA/NYE COUNTIES
AND MOHAVE COUNTY IN ARIZONA. WINDS WILL TAPER OFF ON FRIDAY AS THE
TROUGH PUSHES THROUGH AND OUT OF THE AREA. FROM THAT POINT THE
WEATHER TAKES A TURN FOR THE BETTER. TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND INTO
THE 80S AND 90S BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND AND A SUN FILLED START TO
THE WEEK WILL ENSUE.
.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS 15 TO 25 KTS TO
CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH STRONGER WINDS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. STRONG WINDS OVER THE SPRING MOUNTAINS COULD RESULT IN
MECHANICAL TURBULENCE OVER AND IN THE LEE OF THE SPRINGS. CLEAR
SKIES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD.
FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE
AREA. GUSTS IN THE 20 TO 30 KT RANGE ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF THE
AREA WITH SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER GUSTS EXPECTED IN THE MOUNTAINS.
WIND GUSTS COULD EXCEED 60 KNOTS IN THE SOUTHERN SIERRA AND THE
WHITE MOUNTAINS OF INYO COUNTY...WHILE GUSTS OF 50 KNOTS ARE
POSSIBLE IN THE SPRING MOUNTAINS. ELSEWHERE...WINDS SHOULD DECREASE
OVERNIGHT FAVORING A SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY DIRECTION BEFORE
INCREASING AGAIN DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. CLEAR SKIES ARE
EXPECTED TODAY.
