Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV
328 PM PDT Tue Jul 18 2017

.SYNOPSIS...A moist and unstable airmass will result in scattered to
numerous thunderstorms and locally heavy rainfall across southern
Nevada...Northwest Arizona...and far eastern California through this
evening. Drier conditions are expected across most of Inyo county
where temperatures will remain hot and skies mostly sunny. Some
drying is expected beginning Thursday but there will still be
thunderstorm chances through the weekend mainly over Mohave County
and eastern portions of Lincoln, Clark and San Bernardino Counties.
&&

.DISCUSSION...Things fired back up over Mohave County after a bit of
a lull in the action and some of that activity looks like it could
be producing heavy rain. The rest of the area has been slow to get
going after the air mass got worked over early this morning. Models
still indicate decent cape and precipitable water is 1.5 to 2.1
inches and if clouds can thin some more and temperatures manage to
pop up, there could still be a threat of thunderstorms with heavy
rain over Clark and eastern San Bernardino County.  So, I left the
Flash Flood Watch going through 8 pm. There is still a possibility
of early cancellation however. By Thursday, it looks like we lose
the influence of the circulations which were moving through the area
today. However, the air mass remains pretty moist and somewhat
unstable over southeast Nevada, northwest Arizona and eastern San
Bernardino Counties through the remainder of the week, leading to a
chance of mainly afternoon and early evening thunderstorms. Inyo,
Nye, Esmeralda and western San Bernardino County will remain dry and
stable. Not much confidence in the pattern evolution late this
weekend through early next week. For now I kept thunderstorm chances
mainly over Mohave County Sunday and Monday with a little westward
expansion Tuesday but confidence is low. Temperatures are forecast
to remain fairly close to normal from Thursday through Tuesday.
&&

.AVIATION...For McCarran...There is still a slim chance of
thunderstorms developing again for the late afternoon and early
evening in or near the Las Vegas Valley. Confidence is pretty low
however. Winds mainly look to be south to southeast under 10 knots
through early this evening. Winds late this evening through tonight
should be south/southwest under 10 knots. We may see a brief period
of light east to southeast Thursday morning but overall it looks
like winds will be south around 10 knots much of the day.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...Outside of erratic thunderstorm wind gusts, winds will
mainly be southerly 5-15 kts with gusts 20-25 kts through Thursday.
However, there could be several hours of light and variable winds
tonight. &&

.HYDROLOGY...Creeks, streams and rivers in northern Inyo County
continue to run high and fast from snow melt. Some road closures
continue in the area. Bishop Creek Bypass and Big Pine Creek Bypass
continue to be utilized to minimize flows through Bishop and Big
Pine. Remember, never drive through flooded roadways or around
barricades. Also, pastureland or farmland adjacent to creeks,
streams or rivers could experience areas of standing water.
&&

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report
any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating
procedures.
