What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind watch 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 high wind watch went out at Mar 28, 3:30 AM PDT, 1 hour 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 28, 3:30 AM PDT, 1 hour 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 330 AM PDT Tue Mar 28 2017 .SYNOPSIS...Dry conditions along with gusty north winds are expected today. High pressure will move into the region tonight bringing lighter winds and slightly warmer temperatures on Wednesday. Another storm system will bring strong winds and some precipitation chances to the area Thursday and Friday. && .SHORT TERM...through Wednesday night. Upper low currently over central Arizona has left a dry northwest flow over the region this morning. Gusty winds still occurring over much of the area with a few locations still gusting over 40 mph. Although widespread gusts over 40 mph are not expected will leave the wind advisory in place through 11 AM as we could still see some minor issues from the winds. Strongest winds are expected down the river and although winds will gradually diminish late this morning and early afternoon, the winds down the river will likely continue through much of the afternoon before dissipating this evening. High pressure will then move into the region late tonight and Wednesday with slightly warmer temperatures and lighter winds over much of the area. Some gusty winds will likely persist down the river, but will remain below advisory levels. .LONG TERM...Thursday through Monday. By Thursday morning, shortwave ridging will be giving way to a compact but powerful upper level low that will dig across the forecast area late Thursday through Friday. This is expected to bring strong winds to the region Thursday afternoon through Friday. Intermodel differences remain regarding the strength and placement of this next system. Currently the GFS (and GFS-derived) models indicate the strongest winds of any guidance - upwards of 60kts at 850mb according to the latest BUFR soundings with a vertically aligned wind field. Other models such as the NAM and ECMWF have differing, but somewhat weaker solutions. The bottom line is relatively high confidence in advisory level winds, but below average confidence in warning level winds. In any case, winds are likely to be stronger than those seen Monday and with the potential for a high-impact system the decision was made to issue a High Wind Watch for much of the region for Thursday. The Watch currently extends through Friday for the southern Great Basin where strong north winds could linger as the low center slows and wraps up as it approaches the Four Corners region. As the low moves through the region Thursday/Friday it will likely bring some weak shower activity east of the US-95 corridor, similar to Monday. As the low pushes east on Saturday, north winds will linger down the Colorado River Valley potentially continuing the threat of hazardous boating conditions. By late Saturday and Sunday, model agreement really falls off. There's likely to be at least a short (12-24hr) reprieve from the wind before additional waves move toward the region Sunday/Monday. && .AVIATION...For McCarran...Gusty north to northwest winds will persist through much of the day with gusts around 30 kts. There could be some high gusts this morning, but winds will gradually diminish this afternoon. Skies will remain mostly clear. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...Gusty northwest to north winds will impact much of the area today with winds generally 20-30 kts. Stronger winds expected down the Colorado River where gusts could approach 35-40 kts. Winds will gradually diminish during the afternoon. Skies will remain mostly clear. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && Short Term/Aviation...Gorelow Long Term...Wolcott For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: http://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
