Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV
1010 AM PDT THU JUN 30 2016

.SYNOPSIS...Monsoonal moisture will spread up from northern
Mexico today and especially Friday leading to increasing coverage of
thunderstorms across the Mojave Desert region. Temperatures will
trend downward due to the increase in cloud cover. Drier air is
expected to work into the region early next week pushing monsoonal
moisture east of the area. This will also allow for a warming trend
with temperatures about 3 to 5 degrees above normal by Monday.
&&

.UPDATE...It appears we are setting up for a potentially very active
afternoon for thunderstorms from Lincoln County down through Clark,
eastern San Bernardino and Mohave counties. Widespread south-
southeast winds gusting 25-35 mph developed across southern Nevada
and the Colorado River Valley this morning with dewpoints down in the
mid 50s to lower 60s from Las Vegas southward. The 12Z Las Vegas
sounding showed a weak cap just below 700 mb, but we should see
convection begin to break that cap by early afternoon. Mixed layer
CAPE values of 1500-2000 J/KG exist from central Clark county
southward and high DCAPE values from the CO River Valley westward
indicate the potential for strong outflows which will likely lead to
boundary collisions initiating many thunderstorms later this
afternoon and early evening. The latest HRRR indicates this
occurring over Lake Mohave, southern Clark and eastern San
Bernardino county this afternoon and evening. Pops will be increased
for those zones. Moisture will continue to stream up from the south
tonight and Friday morning and the general upward trend in
thunderstorm chances indicated in the inherited forecast looks good.
&&

.AVIATION...For McCarran...Southeast winds that developed this
morning will persist until around noon then shift from the south.
Thunderstorm potential this afternoon as increased and could impact
the terminal area with strong gusty and erratic winds...especially
during the mid to late afternoon hours.

For the rest of southern Nevada...northwest Arizona...and southeast
California...Thunderstorm coverage will increase over northwest
Arizona this afternoon and then develop over portions of Clark,
Lincoln, and eastern San Bernardino Counties. Winds will generally
be less than 10kts through today, but multiple outflow boundaries
are expected to develop this afternoon causing variable shifting
winds.
&&

.SHORT TERM...through Saturday night.

A few light showers over northern Mohave County will continue to
track northeast this morning. These showers have been associated
with a weak disturbance moving east through Lincoln County. This
feature will continue to track into Utah this morning with showers
dissipating around sunset. A few light showers are also possible
early this morning across southern Mohave County where an outflow
boundary from convection in central Arizona has helped kick off a few
showers.

The main focus for this afternoon will be the increase in low level
moisture across the eastern portions of the forecast area. Current
dewpoints throughout Mohave, Clark and eastern San Bernardino
Counties are in the 50s and PW values are ranging from 1.00 to 1.50
inches. This moisture combined with instability in place is expected
to lead to scattered thunderstorms today across those areas.
Thunderstorms could be more organized across Mohave County this
afternoon due to a 60kt jet streak developing over western Arizona
and then moving north through Mohave County. With 500mb winds around
10kts or less, flash flooding will be a concern with some of the
bigger storms.

Moisture values look to be unchanged Friday and Saturday with the
same areas seeing thunderstorm chances. There is a fairly sharp
boundary between moist and unstable and dry and stable which sets up
from the eastern Nye County boundary down through eastern San
Bernardino County. Little thunderstorm activity is expected west of
that line with scattered thunderstorms east. Once again, any storm
will be capable of producing flash flooding...although PW values
are trending lower on Saturday.

Temperatures are expected to remain a few degrees above normal, but
with any additional cloud cover afternoon readings could be held
down a few degrees.

.LONG TERM...Sunday through Wednesday.

Models remain consistent with Previous runs showing a significant
decrease in moisture on Sunday followed by dry weather areawide
Monday through Wednesday. Weak troughing passes through California
Sunday and through Nevada Monday, turning the flow more westerly and
flushing out the monsoon moisture from our area. This will eliminate
rain chances, knock surface dewpoints back down into the 20s and
30s, and also allow temperatures to climb back to several degrees
above normal. Longer range models hint at moisture possibly
returning around the end of the week, but there is plenty of time to
watch this.
&&

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report
any significant weather according to standard operating procedures.
Flash flooding will be a concern with any thunderstorm today
especially across Mohave, Clark, and eastern San Bernardino
Counties.
