Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV
234 PM PDT Sat Apr 22 2017

.SYNOPSIS...Breezy to windy conditions will develop by Sunday
evening with periodic bouts of high clouds and afternoon/evening
breezes through the early work week.
&&

.SHORT TERM...through Monday night.

The primary concern for the short term is the transition from
ridge influence to NW US trough influence. This will primarily
result in periods of gusty winds through the period.

Another warm day expected Sunday, with temperatures likely several
degrees above Saturday's as the ridge axis begins to slide east.
As the ridge does so, a shortwave trough will slide across Nevada,
increasing west to southwesterly flow through the day Sunday as
heights fall over northern portions of the area. Northwest flow
sets up in the wake of this first trough before yet another trough
looks to swing across the region Monday. With additional height
falls, expect winds to kick up once again Monday afternoon and
evening, especially in the western Mojave Desert. With quite a bit
of moisture in the northwest flow, expected increased cloud cover
with the second trough as well, though the trajectory favors low
level moisture interception, precluding most precipitation chances
for the area.

There is also a slight chance of some enhanced downslope winds on
the eastern Sierra Slopes overnight tonight, with gusts possibly
exceeding 40 MPH mid-slope. Though not particularly the best
setup, these gusts do have at least a slight chance to briefly
impact the Owens Valley.
&&

.LONG TERM...Tuesday through Friday.

Northwest flow will dominate the pattern through next week. this
will keep breezy north winds in the forecast through the period.
Higher than average moisture levels for this pattern will keep a
slight chance of showers in the forecast for the Sierra and central
Nevada and partly to mostly cloudy skies area wide through
Wednesday. A fairly potent wave looks to move across the region
during the Wednesday night/Thursday time frame. This will act to
moderate temperatures from those seen this weekend into early next
week and give a good boost to the winds Wednesday through Friday.
&&

.AVIATION...For McCarran... Light winds on Saturday will
transition to gusty southwest winds by Sunday, though how early
this occurs appears to be unclear. Typical nocturnal drainage
winds could be enhanced this evening, but the more likely timing
would be after daybreak, closer to noon on Sunday. Gustier winds
will likely impact the valley Monday evening as well. Clear-air
mechanical turbulence will be possible starting overnight through
the period.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California... Gusty winds return to the forecast for most
terminals across the area by Sunday evening. Gusty west to
southwest winds expected from KDAG through KHND, with gusty north
winds by the evening at KBIH and gusty southerly winds for KIFP
and KEED. Clear-air mechanical turbulence is possible near the
surface and aloft.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Gusty winds are expected to develop both Sunday
afternoon and Monday afternoon across the Mojave Desert with
afternoon humidities dipping into the 10 to 15 percent range in the
western Mojave Desert with the strongest winds...and under 10
percent in the Colorado River Valley...where parameters will be near
Red Flag criteria.
&&

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Gusty winds are expected in the
western Mojave Desert Sunday and Monday evening. Spotters are
encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according
to standard operating procedures.
&&

Short Term/Aviation/Fire...Steele
Long Term...Wolcott
