AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
832 AM PDT FRI MAY 9 2014

.SYNOPSIS...DRY CONDITIONS WITH WARMING TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED
THROUGH SATURDAY. A VIGOROUS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DIVE FROM THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST INTO SOUTHERN NEVADA SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.
THIS WILL BRING A COLD FRONT WITH GUSTY NORTH WINDS ACROSS THE
REGION ALONG WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVER SOUTHEAST NEVADA AND
NORTHWEST ARIZONA. LOCALLY GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL PERSIST MONDAY AS
THE STORM MOVES OFF TO THE EAST...ESPECIALLY DOWN THE COLORADO RIVER
VALLEY.
&&

.UPDATE...WINDS ACROSS WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY HAD INCREASED
TO ABOVE ADVISORY LEVELS WITH GUSTS IN THE 40 TO 50 MPH RANGE. THE
12Z MET MOS IS KEEPING WIND SPEEDS AT BASICALLY THAT SAME LEVEL
THROUGH MOST OF TONIGHT AT KDAG. I UPDATED TO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY
THROUGH 5 AM SATURDAY. ENHANCED AREA OF HIGH CLOUD JUST KEEPS
EXPANDING THIS MORNING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA
AND THE MODEL HIGH LEVEL RH INDICATES IT STICKING AROUND A GOOD PART
OF THE DAY. I ALSO UPDATED SKY COVER GRIDS TO INCREASE CLOUD COVER
TODAY.

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...SOUTHWEST WINDS 10-15 KTS EXPECTED TO
PERSIST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS UP TO 25 KTS AT
TIMES. CLOUDS WILL BE OPERATIONALLY INSIGNIFICANT AS VARIABLE HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDS WITH BASES ABOVE 20 KFT MOVE OVER THE AREA.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...WINDS MAINLY SOUTHWEST 5-15 KTS ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH FRIDAY ALTHOUGH STRONGER WEST WINDS WILL OCCUR OVER THE
WESTERN MOJAVE DESERT THROUGH TONIGHT WITH GUSTS TO 40 KTS AT
BARSTOW-DAGGETT. VARYING AMOUNTS OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS
THROUGH FRIDAY WITH BASES MAINLY ABOVE 15 KFT.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
350 AM PDT FRI MAY 9 2014

.SHORT TERM...A DRY NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BE OVER THE AREA TODAY...BUT
SOME SOUTHWEST SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
MOJAVE DESERT IN RESPONSE TO AN APPROACHING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE.
STRONGEST WINDS TODAY WILL BE ACROSS WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO INTO
SOUTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY WITH GENERAL WINDY CONDITIONS WHILE MOST
OTHER AREAS OVER THE SOUTHERN CWA WILL SEE BREEZY CONDITIONS.
INITIALLY THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK AND TIMING
OF THE LOW AND HAVE IT PLACED OVER WA/OR FRIDAY NIGHT. IT WILL
CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTH DURING THE DAY SATURDAY WITH INCREASING
SOUTHWEST WINDS EXPECTED OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA WITH
POTENTIALLY WIND ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS OVER PORTION OF SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTY DURING THE AFTERNOON. A COLD FRONT WILL ALSO BE TRACKING
THROUGH THE REGION SATURDAY AND IT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF BRINGING
RATHER STRONG WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT. THERE WILL BE EXCELLENT MIXING
AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY
SHOULD RUN A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT
HAS IT MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA SATURDAY EVENING
AND PAST EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT THE MODELS UNDER DO THE NORTHWEST
WIND SPEEDS IN THIS SITUATION...ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS ARE
SHOWING BOTH STRONG SURFACE AND 700MB GRADIENTS BEHIND THE FRONT AND
ITS POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL ADVISORIES WILL BE NEEDED ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE AREA. NOT MUCH MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM AND IT LOOKS
LIKE THE MOST FAVORED AREA WILL BE ACROSS LINCOLN AND NORTHERN
MOHAVE COUNTIES SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS THE LOW TRACKS ACROSS
THE AREA. TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO DROP AROUND 10-15 DEGREES
BEHIND THE FRONT WITH HIGHS ON SUNDAY DROPPING TO AROUND 10 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL. GUSTY NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS WILL PERSIST SUNDAY AND
SUNDAY NIGHT WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS PERSISTING DOWN THE COLORADO
RIVER VALLEY INTO MONDAY MORNING.

MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...MODEL CONSENSUS IS GOOD DURING THE LONG TERM
AND FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE TO HIGH. THE WEEKEND SYSTEM IS
EAST OF THE AREA MONDAY MAKING WAY FOR HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE WEST
COAST TO BUILD EASTWARD OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. THIS WILL RESULT IN
A RAPID WARMING TREND THAT INTENSIFIES AS THE WEEK WEARS ON.

NORTH WINDS WILL LINGER ALONG THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY MONDAY AND
TUESDAY WITH BREEZY TO LOCALLY WINDY CONDITIONS EXPECTED FROM HOOVER
DAM SOUTH TO NEEDLES. THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS FORECAST TO
WEAKEN WEDNESDAY WITH LIGHTER WINDS EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK, ESPECIALLY HEADING INTO THURSDAY/FRIDAY.
MODEL STATISTICAL GUIDANCE HAS TEMPERATURES WARMING FROM ABOUT 8 OR
SO DEGREES BELOW NORMAL MONDAY TO AROUND 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WHICH WOULD RESULT IN HIGH TEMPERATURES REACHING
THE MID 90S OR WARMER ACROSS THE DESERTS. BASED ON GOOD MODEL
AGREEMENT, RAISED TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES TO REFLECT THIS
TREND. IN LAS VEGAS, TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REACH THE MID 90S
THURSDAY AND EVEN THE UPPER 90S FRIDAY WHICH COULD THEN CARRY INTO
THE WEEKEND.

AS A REMINDER AND WITH SUMMER RAPIDLY APPROACHING, NOW WOULD BE A
GOOD TIME TO BEGIN REVIEWING HEAT RELATED PREPAREDNESS MATERIAL
HIGHLIGHTING HOW HOT TEMPERATURES CAN IMPACT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND
WHAT STEPS YOU CAN BE TAKE TO MITIGATE THIS SUMMERTIME THREAT. YOUR
LOCAL WEATHER SERVICE HERE IN LAS VEGAS WILL BE PROVIDING MORE
INFORMATION IN THE UPCOMING WEEKS REGARDING SUMMERTIME HEAT.
