AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
300 PM PDT THU JUN 11 2015

.SYNOPSIS...LINGERING MOISTURE AND WEAK INSTABILITY WILL KEEP A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER MAINLY THE HIGHER
TERRAIN THROUGH SATURDAY. A DRY...WESTERLY FLOW FROM SUNDAY ONWARD
WILL BRING HOT AND DRY JUNE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO THE AREA INTO NEXT
WEEK WITH DAYTIME TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.
&&

.SHORT TERM...THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.

A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON
OVER CENTRAL MOHAVE COUNTY...BUT MORE STABLE AIR WORKING INTO THE
REGION WILL KEEP ANY ADDITIONAL STORMS FROM FORMING LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WE MAY SEE A FEW ISOLATED STORMS EARLY THIS
EVENING OVER NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY...BUT THE TREND WILL CONTINUE TO
BE DOWNWARD. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS CENTRAL NEVADA ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK DISTURBANCE.
THIS DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED TO SAG SOUTH THIS EVENING WITH
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SPREADING INTO MAINLY NORTHERN
LINCOLN...CENTRAL NYE...ESMERALDA AND EVENTUALLY INTO INYO COUNTY.
MOST OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD DISSIPATE BY LATE EVENING...BUT ACTIVITY
COULD GO MUCH OF THE NIGHT ACROSS PORTIONS OF INYO COUNTY. THE
TROUGHINESS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INSTABILITY SHOWERS IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN THROUGH FRIDAY GIVING US ANOTHER DAY OF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE AIRMASS MAY BE A LITTLE TOO STABLE
FOR STORMS OVER THE FAR SOUTHERN AREAS OF THE CWA...BUT MOST OF THE
FORECAST AREA SHOULD SEE AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE DURING THE
AFTERNOON. THE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN MORE ON SATURDAY AND
ALTHOUGH WE WILL SEE SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN...THE TREND WILL BE
DOWNWARD. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY WARM EACH AFTERNOON
WITH THE HOT JUNE TEMPERATURES ARRIVING NEXT WEEK.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

THE LONG TERM PERIOD BEGINS WITH UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMING
ZONAL...AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE CONTINUES TO PULL AWAY FROM THE AREA TO
THE EAST. WESTERLY FLOW WILL HELP TO MIX OUT THE REMAINING MOISTURE
FROM BLANCA...SIGNALING A RETURN TO BENIGN WEATHER AND SETTING US UP
FOR A RAPID WARM UP EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE LATEST OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE
CONTINUES TO AGREE ON A POTENT UPPER LEVEL LOW LOCATED ON THE
BRITISH COLUMBIA COAST EMITTING A SHORTWAVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
GREAT BASIN DURING THE MONDAY-TUESDAY TIMEFRAME. THIS WELL HELP
INCREASE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AT ALL LEVELS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN AND MOJAVE DESERT...PROMOTING GOOD MIXING WHICH
WILL FURTHER DRY OUT ANY LINGERING MOISTURE AND BUMP AFTERNOON HIGHS
UP A FEW MORE DEGREES. AT THIS TIME...AFTERNOON HIGHS LOOK TO
CONSISTENTLY RUN 5-8 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR MID-JUNE NEXT WEEK.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...LIGHT WINDS WILL GRADUALLY TURN SOUTHWEST
AFTER SUNSET WITH SPEEDS GENERALLY AROUND 7 KTS. ISOLATED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING NORTH OF LAS VEGAS COULD BRING A WIND
SHIFT TO THE VALLEY BETWEEN 07Z-10Z. THE WINDS COULD POTENTIALLY
TURN BETWEEN 340 AND 020 WITH SPEEDS UP TO 20KTS. ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ONCE AGAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH
GENERALLY LIGHT EAST WINDS AWAY FROM THUNDERSTORM INFLUENCES.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING OVER
PORTIONS OF LINCOLN...CENTRAL NYE...ESMERALDA...AND INYO COUNTIES.
STORMS MAY CONTINUE OVERNIGHT OVER INYO COUNTY. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED AGAIN FRIDAY. WINDS EXPECTED TO BE UNDER
10KTS AWAY FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS.
