AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
247 PM PDT FRI APR 8 2016

.SYNOPSIS...A SERIES OF STORMS SYSTEMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND. THESE SYSTEMS WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES MUCH COOLER AND BRING CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS. COOL AND UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.
&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.

THE BROAD BAND OF LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS THAT WAS MOVING NORTH THROUGH
THE MORNING STALLED JUST SHY OF THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY. MOST OF THE
VALLEY HAS SEEN AT LEAST SOME SPRINKLES WITH MEASURABLE RAIN NOTED
PRIMARILY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE VALLEY. TO THE
SOUTH...SUN BREAKS ALLOWED ENOUGH DESTABILIZATION TO RESULT IN WEAK
CONVECTION SOUTH OF A RIDGECREST-PRIMM-DOLAN SPRINGS LINE. A FEW
ISOLATED REPORTS OF MINOR FLOODING HAVE BEEN RECEIVED...WITH A FLOOD
ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY AT
THIS HOUR. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO GRADUALLY TAPER OFF WITH THE LOSS
OF HEATING AFTER SUNSET. MEANWHILE...BETTER FORCING WITH PUSH EAST
INTO THE AREA AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES IN FROM SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA...KEEPING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS GOING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS.

FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...MADE SOME TWEAKS TO THE POP FORECAST
TRYING TO REFINE THE AREAS OF GREATEST THREAT. AT THE MOMENT...HIGH
RES MODELS ARE INDICATING THAT A NORTH-SOUTH BAND OF PRECIPITATION
WILL DEVELOP BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON...EXTENDING FROM THE MOJAVE
PRESERVE NORTH ACROSS THE SPRING MOUNTAINS AND INTO THE NEVADA
NATIONAL SECURITY SITE. SECONDARY BANDS APPEAR POSSIBLE IN THE
BARSTOW/FT. IRWIN AREA AS WELL AS PERHAPS NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY.
THE BAND WILL LIKELY ROTATE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SUNDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW ITSELF PUSHES EAST ACROSS THE MEXICAN
BORDER. WITH THIS CURRENT MODEL PLACEMENT AND EVOLUTION OF THE
BAND...IT CALLS INTO QUESTION THE CHANCES OF PRECIP FOR AREAS NEAR
AND NORTHEAST OF LAS VEGAS. THAT SAID...A SMALL CHANGE IN THE
PLACEMENT WOULD HAVE LARGE IMPLICATIONS IN WHICH AREAS SEE THE BEST
PRECIPITATION...AND THEREFORE HAVE CONTINUE TO CARRY FAIRLY
WIDESPREAD CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

ANOTHER, ALBEIT WEAKER, PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL PASS ACROSS
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHERN NEVADA MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. IT
WILL PROVIDE ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS (PERHAPS A FEW THUNDERSTORMS)
TO MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. AS THE LOW PUSHES EAST, SHORTWAVE
RIDGING WILL WORK OVER THE REGION TUESDAY PROVIDING A BRIEF BREAK IN
ACTIVE WEATHER. THE BREAK WILL NOT LAST LONG AS A POTENTIALLY STRONG
PACIFIC STORM BEGINS IMPACTING OUR FORECAST AREA WITH GUSTY SOUTH
AND SOUTHWEST WINDS WEDNESDAY. THERE ARE MODEL DIFFERENCES, BUT
STILL LOOKS LIKE A DEEP TROUGH, IF NOT A CLOSED LOW, WILL PUSH
ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. CURRENTLY THE GFS IS THE
DEEPER AND WETTER SOLUTION FOR OUR AREA, WHILE THE ECMWF KEEPS MOST
OF THE PRECIP CONFINED TO THE TERRAIN.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...SCATTERED SHOWERS ALONG WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS
EVENING. MOST OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN LIGHT...BUT BRIEF
HEAVY RAINS WILL BE POSSIBLE. HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
REMAIN ALONG THE DAGGETT AND PEACH SPRINGS CORRIDORS THIS EVENING.
CIGS DOWN TO AROUND 4K FEET WITH MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS. WINDS WILL
REMAIN SOUTHERLY AROUND 5-10KTS INTO THURSDAY...BUT BECOME GUSTY AND
VARIABLE NEAR ANY STORMS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE AROUND AGAIN SATURDAY.

FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...SCATTERED SHOWERS THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF SAN
BERNARDINO...CLARK...MOHAVE COUNTIES INTO THIS EVENING WITH HEAVY
RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE. CIGS DOWN TO 3K FEET AT TIMES WITH
VSBYS UNDER 6SM ALONG WITH WIDESPREAD MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS. LIGHTER
SHOWERS POSSIBLE OVER THE NORTHERN AREAS WITH CIGS DOWN TO AROUND 5K
FEET. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN BE IN THE
FORECAST FOR SATURDAY.
&&

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED AT
THIS TIME. HOWEVER...SPOTTERS SHOULD REPORT ANY SIGNIFICANT WEATHER
ACCORDING TO STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.
&&

SHORT TERM...WOLCOTT
