AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
328 AM PDT SAT SEP 27 2014

.SYNOPSIS...AN APPROACHING PACIFIC STORM WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE
GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS TODAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO PORTIONS OF THE AREA THIS WEEKEND WITH THE BEST
CHANCE OF SIGNIFICANT RAIN AND SOME STRONG STORMS OVER EASTERN
LINCOLN...EASTERN CLARK...AND MOHAVE COUNTIES EARLY TODAY BEFORE
MOVING EAST. MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND
AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&

.DISCUSSION...
THE PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM CONTINUES TO DEEPEN ACROSS CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA THIS MORNING. MOISTURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE...AND
COMBINED WITH LARGE SCALE FORCING...WE CONTINUE TO SEE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP AND MOVE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ACROSS
MOHAVE...EASTERN CLARK...EASTERN LINCOLN...AND ISOLATED PORTIONS OF
FAR EASTERN SAN BERNARDINO EARLY THIS MORNING. TRAINING OF STORMS
WILL INCREASE THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING. ADDITIONALLY...STRONG
WINDS ALOFT COULD MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE WITH THE STRONGER
STORMS...POTENTIALLY PRODUCING LOCALIZED DAMAGING WINDS. HAIL WILL
BE ANOTHER THREAT...WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS.

WITH THE GREATEST SHEAR APPROACHING THE AREA NOW...A FEW STORMS
COULD HAVE ROTATION...PARTICULARLY ACROSS MOHAVE COUNTY. GIVEN THE
FAVORABLE SET UP FOR SOME SEVERE STORMS ACROSS EASTERN
LINCOLN...EASTERN CLARK...AND MOHAVE COUNTIES...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH NUMBER 507 WAS COORDINATED AND ISSUED BY THE STORM PREDICTION
CENTER AND IS VALID UNTIL 11 AM PDT/MST. DRY AIR WILL WORK IN FROM
THE WEST...PUSHING CONVECTION OUT OF CLARK...SAN BERNARDINO...AND
LINCOLN COUNTIES A LITTLE LATER THIS MORNING. WILL LOOK TO MAKE SOME
UPDATES TO BOTH THE FLASH FLOOD AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCHES AT
THAT TIME.

THE MOISTURE BAND IS ON TRACK TO PUSH INTO EASTERN MOHAVE COUNTY
DURING THE AFTERNOON TODAY AND EAST OF THE AREA THIS EVENING. THIS
IS COINCIDENT WITH THE LOW CONTINUING TO DEEPEN AND MOVE INTO
CENTRAL NEVADA...PUSHING THAT DRY AIR EASTWARD. ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED INSTABILITY SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP MAINLY NORTH AND WEST OF
LAS VEGAS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. COULD STILL SEE
SOME SMALL HAIL FROM THESE INSTABILITY SHOWERS WITH THE COLD TEMPS
ALOFT. ALSO...ABOUT AN INCH OR SLIGHTLY BETTER OF SNOW ACROSS THE
HIGHEST PEAKS OF THE SIERRA WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH SUNDAY.
THE UPPER LOW WILL MOVE INTO UTAH SUNDAY NIGHT WITH ALL
PRECIPITATION ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST.

NORTHWEST FLOW WILL THEN SET UP OVER THE AREA MONDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY...WITH MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED. A MOISTURE STARVED
SHORTWAVE IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN WEDNESDAY.
MODELS STILL DIFFER ON THE OVERALL DEPTH OF THE TROUGH...WHICH
IMPACTS THE WIND AND TEMPERATURE FORECAST FOR BOTH WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY. WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE CURRENT FORECAST.

BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WILL CONTINUE INTO
THE WORK WEEK...BUT WE SHOULD SEE A SLIGHT WARMING TREND. TEMPS NEAR
OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL ARE EXPECTED BY WEDNESDAY...THEN PERHAPS A
SLIGHT COOL DOWN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH THE TROUGH PASSAGE.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS THIS MORNING 10-15
KTS...THEN PICKING UP AGAIN LATE MORNING AND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
WITH GUSTS AROUND 25-30 KTS POSSIBLE. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS ACROSS THE MORMON MESA AND PEACH SPRINGS
CORRIDORS TODAY.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
