What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Las Vegas, NV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Oct 5, 3:38 PM PDT, 2 hours 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 5, 3:38 PM PDT, 2 hours 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV 338 PM PDT MON OCT 5 2015 .SYNOPSIS...A COLD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE MOJAVE DESERT TONIGHT AND THEN HEAD SOUTHEAST ACROSS ARIZONA ON TUESDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT THEN COME TO AND END FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY. SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL FROM 10000 FEET THIS EVENING TO 8500 TO 9000 FEET TONIGHT WITH ACCUMULATIONS ABOVE THAT LEVEL. DRIER AND WARMER WEATHER IS EXPECTED FROM WEDNESDAY ON INTO THE WEEKEND. && .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A COLD AND POTENT MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW CAN EASILY BE SEEN SWIRLING ON WATER VAPOR IN THE WESTERN MOJAVE DESERT THIS AFTERNOON CLOSE TO BARSTOW. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN SWIRLING AROUND THE LOW WITH MOST OF THE ACTIVITY EAST AND NORTH OF THE LOW CENTER. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME AREAS OF STEADIER PRECIPITATION (ESPECIALLY WHERE THE FLOW HAS AIDED IN LIFTING MOISTURE THROUGH UPSLOPE OFF THE TERRAIN) AS WELL AS WHERE WE HAVE SEEN TRAINING OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SO FAR TODAY, THE MAIN HAZARD IN OUR AREA HAS BEEN FLOODING WHICH HAS MAINLY BEEN OF THE ADVISORY LEVEL ALTHOUGH IN AREAS OF THE HEAVIEST RAIN OR TERRAIN SENSITIVE SPOTS MET THE WARNING LEVEL THRESHOLD. ROADS WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN SLICK ACROSS THE AREA FOR THE EVENING COMMUTE OR LATE NIGHT TRAVEL AND WE ADVISE YOU TO REMEMBER TO SLOW DOWN. RAINFALL RATES IN ANY STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS OR ANY AREAS THAT SEE TRAINING COULD EXCEED A HALF AN INCH PER HOUR AND PERHAPS IN SOME CASES CLOSER TO AN INCH GIVEN THE BETTER THAN AVERAGE MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE ATMOSPHERE FOR OCTOBER WITH PWATS BETWEEN 0.80 INCH AND AN INCH PER IPW SENSORS. WE CANNOT DISCOUNT SOME STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING GIVEN THE SHEAR IN PLACE ACROSS OUR AREA. THE COLD LOW CENTER NEARBY WILL ALSO LOWER FREEZING LEVELS ALLOWING HAIL TO BE MORE LIKELY TO REACH THE SURFACE. THE MAIN HAZARDS WITH STORMS WILL REMAIN HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS TO 50 MPH, THOUGH WITH THE MOISTER LOW-LEVELS THE WIND THREAT WILL BE A LITTLE MORE LIMITED. SNOW LEVELS ROSE TO 10000 FEET THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL SLOWLY LOWER TONIGHT LIKELY DROPPING LOWER OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE AREA CLOSER TO THE CENTER OF THE LOW. THESE AREAS WILL ALSO BE IN THE AREA OF STRONGEST FORCING AS THE LOW CENTER TRACKS DIRECTLY OVERHEAD. 700 MB TEMPS OFF THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE FORECAST TO DROP TO 0C WHICH WOULD PUT SNOW LEVELS CLOSE TO 8000-8500 FEET WHICH IS VERY NEAR FORECASTED WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS. THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT. IN THE SIERRA AND WHITE MOUNTAINS, UPSLOPE FLOW MAY CRANK OUT A FEW INCHES THIS AFTERNOON, HOWEVER, MORE SIGNIFICANT SNOW MAY COME LATER TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING IN THE SPRING MOUNTAINS AND SHEEP RANGE. ANY HEAVIER BURSTS OF PRECIPITATION MAY DRIVE SNOW LEVELS DOWN ANOTHER 500 FEET OR SO. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE TRICKY AS TEMPS IN SOME SPOTS LIKE LAS VEGAS NEVER REALLY WARMED UP TODAY. WE MAY SEE A VERY SLOW FALL THIS EVENING OR EVEN SEE TEMPS RISE A BIT THEN FALL LATER ON. AS A RESULT I ADJUSTED LOWS DOWN QUITE A BIT AND LEANED TOWARD THE COOLER END OF GUIDANCE BASED ON CURRENT TEMPS. IN ADDITION, WE MAY SEE SOME FOG DEVELOP IN THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT DUE TO THE LOWER CLOUD BASES AS WELL AS ON THE RIM OF VALLEYS WHERE RAIN FELL. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TOMORROW AS THE LOW CENTER HEADS INTO ARIZONA AND MOVES SOUTHEAST. GRAUPEL AND HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY STRONGER ACTIVITY AS FREEZING LEVELS REMAIN LOW. TEMPS WILL ALSO REMAIN ABOUT 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR HIGHS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD COME TO AN END OF TUESDAY NIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST. DRY WEATHER RETURNS ACROSS THE AREA FOR WEDNESDAY AND HIGH TEMPS SHOULD JUMP UP BY AROUND 10 DEGREES. LINGERING MOISTURE IN THE LOWER TO MID-LEVELS WILL KEEP SOME CUMULUS AROUND. .LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO WARM BACK UP ON THURSDAY AND RETURN TO WELL ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS AS A POSITIVELY TILTED RIDGE ALOFT BUILDS BACK INTO THE AREA. THE 250 MB JET REMAINS OVERHEAD ORIENTED FROM THE NORTHWEST TO THE SOUTHEAST ON THURSDAY WHICH COULD BRING A DECENT AMOUNT OF CIRRUS CLOUDS TO THE AREA. THE GFS CROSS SECTIONS SHOW THINGS FAIRLY CLOSE TO SATURATED ABOVE 400 MB IN THIS TIME FRAME WHICH WOULD JUSTIFY AT LEAST A PARTLY CLOUDY SKY. HOWEVER, BY THURSDAY NIGHT THE JET SHIFTS OUT OF THE AREA AND SUNSHINE SHOULD BECOME MORE PLENTIFUL FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS THE RIDGE BUILDS FURTHER IN. OVER THE WEEKEND THE CLOSED LOW THAT IS CURRENTLY IMPACTING THE AREA IS SHOWN BY BOTH THE 12Z OPERATIONAL GFS AND ECMWF TO RETROGRADE BACK WEST AROUND THE RIDGE ACROSS NORTHWEST MEXICO. THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL OVER THE WEEKEND THIS MAY HELP SEND A FEED OF HIGHER LEVEL MOISTURE BACK INTO THE AREA WHICH MAY LIMIT SUNSHINE. HOWEVER, TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN 5 TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. IT WILL FEEL MORE LIKE MID TO LATE SEPTEMBER VERSUS EARLY OCTOBER. && .AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SPINNING OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL SLOWLY MOVE OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA BY TUESDAY MORNING THEN WORK ITS WAY INTO WESTERN ARIZONA TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING FROM SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST AT 15 TO 25 MPH TONIGHT AND TUESDAY... ESPECIALLY IN THE PEACH SPRINGS AND MORMON MESA CORRIDORS. LOCAL MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE LIKELY. ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS IN THE TERMINAL AREA APPEARS FAVORABLE THIS EVENING THEN CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN DETERMINING WHEN ADDITIONAL SHOWERS MAY IMPACT KLAS. FOG COULD BE OBSERVED AROUND THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...MOST LIKELY NEAR THE FOOTHILLS. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE...GENERALLY LESS THAN 6 KNOTS...EXCEPT WHEN BRIEFLY INFLUENCED BY SHOWERS. FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SPINNING OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL SLOWLY MOVE OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA BY TUESDAY MORNING THEN WORK ITS WAY INTO WESTERN ARIZONA TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA AND PORTIONS OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY CALIFORNIA. MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS WILL OCCUR AROUND MUCH OF THE REGION THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND PATCHY FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING OVER NORTHWEST ARIZONA AND SOUTHERN NEVADA. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT EXCEPT NEAR THUNDERSTORMS. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY SIGNIFICANT WEATHER CONDITIONS ACCORDING TO STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES. && SHORT TERM/LONG TERM...STACHELSKI AVIATION...ADAIR FOR MORE FORECAST INFORMATION...SEE US ON OUR WEBPAGE: HTTP://WEATHER.GOV/LASVEGAS OR FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER
