AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
916 AM PST THU FEB 5 2015

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT EAST TODAY AND FRIDAY AS AN
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES THE COAST. THIS LOW WILL BRING
INCREASING WINDS WITH STRONG DOWNSLOPE WINDS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
EASTERN SIERRA SLOPES AND OWENS VALLEY FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT ALONG
WITH AN INCREASING CHANCE OF RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW IN THE SIERRA
AND WHITE MOUNTAINS FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL
REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL INTO THE WEEKEND.
&&

.UPDATE...PLEASANT WEATHER ON TAP FOR TODAY WITH ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. NO UPDATES PLANNED AT THIS TIME.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
220 AM PST THU FEB 5 2015

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...

HIGH PRESSURE WHICH HAS BEEN FIRMLY IN CONTROL OVER THE PAST FEW
DAYS WILL START TO SHIFT EAST TODAY AND FRIDAY AS A TROUGH
APPROACHES THE COAST. THIS WILL BRING AN INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW
TO THE REGION WITH SOME AREAS ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES SEEING
BREEZY CONDITIONS FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL ALSO BRING BETTER
MIXING ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA ALLOWING FOR A CONTINUATION OF RATHER
WARM TEMPERATURES WITH SOME AREAS FLIRTING WITH RECORD HIGHS. THE
MAIN WEATHER IMPACT LOOKS TO OCCUR OVER THE SIERRA AND OWENS VALLEY
FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE FORM OF STRONG DOWNSLOPE
WINDS. BY FRIDAY MORNING A STRONG 130KT JET WILL BE ALIGNED
PERPENDICULAR TO THE CENTRAL SIERRA WITH INCREASING STRONG WINDS AT
RIDGETOPS. A WELL DEFINED CRITICAL LAYER IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP
ABOVE THESE STRONG RIDGETOP WINDS ALLOWING FOR THESE DOWNSLOPE WINDS
TO OCCUR. IT LOOKS LIKE THE EASTERN SIERRA SLOPES WILL SEEING STRONG
WEST WINDS DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON AND THEN PEAK AROUND SUNSET
WITH THE WESTERN HALF OF THE OWENS VALLEY SEEING STRONG WEST WINDS
ALSO. ITS STILL HARD TO TELL HOW FAR EAST THESE WINDS WILL
REACH...BUT ITS LIKELY THEY WILL AFFECT AT LEAST SOME PORTIONS OF
HIGHWAY 395. BY 06Z FRIDAY THE MODELS INDICATE PRECIPITATION
REACHING THE SOUTHERN SIERRA WHICH WILL PUT AN END TO THE DOWNSLOPE
WINDS. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE SHADOWED BY THE
SIERRA...BUT NORTHERN PORTIONS OF INYO COUNTY AND PARTS OF ESMERALDA
WILL SEE VALLEY RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY
NIGHT. VERY LITTLE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED OVER THE REMAINDER OF
THE FORECAST ZONES WITH MOST AREAS JUST SEEING LOCALLY BREEZY
CONDITIONS SATURDAY.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO AIM AT THE SOUTHERN SIERRA
NEVADA STARTING BY LATE SUNDAY MORNING. LOW PRESSURE IN THE MID AND
UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE IS SLATED TO APPROACH THE COAST OF
OREGON AND NORCAL PUSHING IN AN INFLUX OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE. WE
KEPT IN THE POSSIBILITY OF STEADY PRECIPITATION THROUGH MONDAY
AFTERNOON WITH THE HIGHEST POPS ALONG THE SOUTHERN SIERRA CREST.
SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION MAY SPILLOVER INTO THE OWENS VALLEY,
HOWEVER, THE PROSPECTS FOR PRECIPITATION LOOK GREATEST NORTH OF THE
MT WHITNEY/LONE PINE AREA. THE PARENT LOW WITH THIS PLUME OF
MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO EVENTUALLY TRACK OFFSHORE OF OREGON AND
WASHINGTON AND MOVE ONSHORE NEAR THE TIP OF VANCOUVER ISLAND BY
MONDAY NIGHT. AS A RESULT MUCH OF THE MAIN MOISTURE PLUME WITH THIS
NEXT SYSTEM WILL MISS OUR AREA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FAR NORTHERN
SECTIONS. THE 00Z OPERATIONAL GEM AND ECMWF WERE MORE ROBUST WITH
BRINGING PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN AS THE
ASSOCIATED MID AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS SLIDES EAST ACROSS THE
AREA MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. WE OPTED TO INCLUDE LOW END SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS THEN CONSIDERING THE 00Z OPERATIONAL GFS AND MANY GFS
ENSEMBLES DID NOT SHOW QPF THEN.

THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER PERIOD OF AT LEAST GUSTY
RIDGETOP WINDS IN THE SOUTHERN SIERRA AND WHITE MOUNTAINS SUNDAY
AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AS A 100 KT+ JET STREAM AT 250 MB RACES
ACROSS. GOING IN THE FAVOR OF DOWNSLOPE WINDS IS A CROSS BARRIER
COMPONENT PRESENT AS WELL AS A HYDRAULIC JUMP SIGNATURE NOTED IN THE
500 MB HEIGHTS TO THE LEE OF THE SOUTHERN SIERRA. HOWEVER, THERE MAY
BE ENOUGH MOISTURE WITH THIS TO LIMIT THE STRENGTH OF THE WINDS
AND/OR PERIOD FOR DOWNSLOPE.

TEMPS WILL REMAIN VERY MILD FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY ACROSS THE AREA.
MODELS ARE NOT GOING NUTS WITH THE QUANTITY OF HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE
EITHER DAY AWAY FROM WHERE QPF IS SHOWN AND AS A RESULT, WE SIDED
WITH THE HIGHER END OF GUIDANCE. MONDAY SHOULD EVEN BE A FEW DEGREES
WARMER AND LAS VEGAS HAS A GREAT SHOT TO TAKE A RUN AT THE RECORD
HIGH OF 77 THEN ESPECIALLY IF WE MIX WELL (THE GFS BUFR SOUNDING WAS
GOING WITH A HIGH OF 79).

BEHIND THE PASSAGE OF THE TROUGH IT IS BACK TO REALITY OR AT LEAST
CLOSER TO WHAT WINTER SHOULD FEEL LIKE AROUND HERE AS TEMPS DROP A
GOOD 6-8 DEGREES FOR MOST AREAS FOR TUESDAY AND THEN ANOTHER 4-6
DEGREES ON WEDNESDAY. MODELS ALL SHOW ENERGY WITHIN THE TROUGH
FORMING A CLOSED LOW THAT RETROGRADES SOUTHWEST ON WEDNESDAY. THIS
WILL SET UP GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS ACROSS THE AREA. THE GFS
ALSO WRAPS MORE MID-LEVEL MOISTURE IN WITH THE LOW AND SHOWS THE
POTENTIAL FOR SOME SHOWERS OVER THE SOUTHEAST CWFA. FOR NOW, WE
INCREASED SKY COVER SLIGHTLY. EITHER WAY, WE SHOULD SEE COOLER
CONDITIONS LINGER INTO THURSDAY AS THE LOW FLOATS DOWN TO THE SOUTH
IN RESPONSE TO RIDGING ALOFT BUILDING BACK INTO NORCAL.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...MAINLY BKN HIGH CLOUDS ABOVE 25K FEET CAN
BE EXPECTED INTO FRIDAY. OTHERWISE...WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT AND
FOLLOW TYPICAL DIURNAL TRENDS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS WITH NO
OPERATIONAL IMPACTS EXPECTED.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...BKN-OVC HIGH CLOUDS ABOVE 25K CAN BE EXPECTED INTO
FRIDAY. OTHERWISE WINDS ACROSS THE REGION WILL BE LIGHT AND FOLLOW
TYPICAL DIURNAL TRENDS. STRONG DOWNSLOPE WINDS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS
THE EASTERN SIERRA AND OWENS VALLEY FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY
EVENING.
&&

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED
BUT ANY REPORTS OF HIGH WINDS OR BLOWING DUST FRIDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
