AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
839 AM PDT THU JUL 10 2014

.SYNOPSIS...ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL COMBINE WITH AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE TO GENERATE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TODAY
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. DRIER AIR WILL PUSH IN BEHIND THE
DISTURBANCE...LIMITING ANY THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TO PORTIONS OF
MOHAVE COUNTY ARIZONA FOR THE FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY TIME FRAME.
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS OVER THE WEEKEND DUE
TO THE DRIER AIR.
&&

.UPDATE...A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE VORTEX IS EVIDENT ON BASE
REFLECTIVITY OVER LAKE MEAD AND IS MOVING WEST TOWARD THE LAS VEGAS
VALLEY. SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING AHEAD OF
AND TO THE NORTH OF THIS MCV. I HAVE INCREASED AND EXPANDED POPS FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING FOR MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEVADA AND
SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA. AN UPPER LEVEL JET MAX COMING UP FROM ARIZONA
PUSHING NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN NEVADA WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE LIFT
AND CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY...PARTICULARLY ACROSS LINCOLN AND MOHAVE
COUNTIES DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
245 AM PDT THU JUL 10 2014

.SHORT TERM...SATELLITE LOOPS SHOWED WHAT WAS A FAIRLY WELL DEFINED
CIRCULATION OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA STARTING TO BECOME AN OPEN WAVE
AND ABOUT TO START MOVING EAST. MODELS ALL DEPICT THIS FEATURE
FAIRLY WELL AND INDICATE QUITE A BIT OF MOISTURE OUT AHEAD OF IT.
LOOKS LIKE MUCH OF OUR AREA WILL BE MOSTLY CLOUDY A GOOD PORTION OF
THE DAY. THE SHORTWAVE WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND MOVE
EAST/NORTHEAST TODAY WHICH WILL HELP GENERATE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MAINLY SOUTHEAST NEVADA AND NORTHWEST ARIZONA
AND EASTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY. MODELS DIFFER IN THE PLACEMENT
OF THE BEST INSTABILITY AND HIGHEST CAPE WITH THE NAM12 CONTINUING
TO BE FARTHER WEST. BASED ON THE ECMWF AND GFS THE HIGHEST COVERAGE
OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ACROSS MOHAVE AND EASTERN LINCOLN COUNTIES
AND PERHAPS EASTERN CLARK COUNTY. BASED ON STABILITY AND CAPE PROGS
THE NAM12 IS SHOWING THE BEST THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL OVER EASTERN
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY. WE HAVE PRETTY HIGH POPS IN ALL THOSE
LOCATIONS...FAVORING NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY. LOOKS LIKE WINDS MAY BE
STRONG ENOUGH BY THIS AFTERNOON FOR A DECENT STORM MOTION FROM SOUTH
TO NORTH WHICH SHOULD LIMIT FLASH FLOODING TO SOME EXTENT DESPITE
PRETTY HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES. THE SHORTWAVE WILL KEEP
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES GOING INTO THIS EVENING BEFORE RACING INTO UTAH
BRINGING AN END TO ANY STORMS OVERNIGHT. MUCH DRIER AND MORE STABLE
AIR WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE AS SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS. I
KEPT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS THE
NAM12 CONTINUES TO HANG ON TO SOME MOISTURE AND SLIGHT INSTABILITY.
TEMPERATURES TODAY MAY BE BELOW NORMAL AGAIN IN MANY AREAS WITH ALL
THE CLOUD COVER BUT SHOULD WARM UP TO NORMAL BY SATURDAY.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BY SUNDAY MORNING HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BE SHIFTING BACK WEST TOWARDS THE NEVADA-UTAH STATE
LINE. THIS WILL CUT OFF THE DRY SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AND OPEN THE DOOR
FOR MOISTURE TO FILTER IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A
SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE WILL BE IN PLACE TO PROVIDE MUCH OF A THREAT OF
THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY. HOWEVER...I HAVE LEFT IN A SLIGHT CHANCE OVER
MOST OF MOHAVE COUNTY AND GHOST POPS OVER SOUTHERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTY.

LAST NIGHT MODELS WERE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THAT A DECENT SURGE OF
MONSOON MOISTURE AND WAVE WOULD PUSH UP FROM THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST FOR
MONDAY. WITH THE LATEST 00Z RUNS BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS HAVE SLOWED
THIS DOWN BY AROUND 6-12 HOURS AND HAVE PUSHED THE WAVE A BIT
FURTHER WEST OVER THE SOCAL COAST. AM NOT READY TO COMPLETELY BUY
INTO ANY GIVEN SOLUTION SINCE THE PREVIOUS [12Z] ECMWF RUN WAS VERY
AGGRESSIVE WITH THE MOISTURE...WAVE..AND PRECIP FOR MONDAY. FOR NOW
HAVE INCREASED THUNDERSTORM CHANCES OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN THIRD OF
THE FORECAST AREA SINCE THERE IS DECENT AGREEMENT THERE. WITH THE
OVERALL SHOWER TIMING TUESDAY MAY HAVE MORE WIDESPREAD/SIGNIFICANT
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE. AS A RESULT I HAVE INCLUDED AT LEAST A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS EVERYWHERE TUESDAY.

FOR WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND...THE LATEST GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT HIGH
PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST INTO NORCAL WHICH WOULD RESULT
IN SOMEWHAT DRIER NORTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER MODELS
AREN'T TOO AMBITIOUS ABOUT SCOURING OUT THE MOISTURE AND SO I'VE
LEFT IN FAIRLY WIDESPREAD POPS FOR THE MOMENT.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...SUNDAY WILL BE THE WARMEST...WITH TEMPERATURES
RUNNING A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. THE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD
AS MOISTURE AND THUNDERSTORMS RETURN TO THE REGION. PLEASANT RELIEF
FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME WHERE WE [ON AVERAGE] EXPERIENCE THE WARMEST
TEMPERATURES OF THE YEAR.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE THIS
MORNING BEFORE TRANSITIONING MORE SOUTHWESTERLY AROUND 10 KTS DURING
THE AFTERNOON. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY AND
ERRATIC WINDS DUE TO THUNDERSTORMS AND OUTFLOW. BROKEN CEILINGS ABV
10 KFT MUCH OF TODAY. THUNDERSTORMS MOSTLY LIKELY TO AFFECT MORMON
MESA AND PEACH SPRINGS CORRIDORS THURSDAY. CLEARING WILL TAKE PLACE
LATER TONIGHT WITH DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIR IN PLACE FOR THE FRIDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY TIME FRAME.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...THE GREATEST THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL BE OVER
SOUTHEAST NEVADA AND NORTHWEST ARIZONA. TODAY STORMS WILL LEAD TO
GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS, WHILE AWAY FROM STORMS WIND SPEEDS
GENERALLY SOUTHERLY BETWEEN 5 AND 15 KTS.
&&

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED
AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY
SIGNIFICANT WEATHER CONDITIONS ACCORDING TO STANDARD OPERATING
PROCEDURES.
