What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory 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 wind advisory went out at Dec 18, 2:22 PM PST, 3 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 18, 2:22 PM PST, 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 222 PM PST Mon Dec 18 2017 .SYNOPSIS...Temperatures five to 10 degrees above normal are expected Tuesday, then a cold front will bring strong winds, chances for valley rain and mountain snow, and much colder air to the southern Great Basin Wednesday and to the Mojave Desert Wednesday night. Below normal temperatures are expected Thursday through the holiday weekend, with the coldest temperatures of the season so far possible on Christmas morning. && .SHORT TERM...through Tuesday night. The storm system which brought strong winds to our area was spinning along the southern end of the AZ/NM border early this afternoon, and winds had settled down everywhere except Bullhead City. A brief period of ridging ahead of the next storm will bring a few more degrees of warming tomorrow. Winds will begin to increase Tuesday night, especially in the Sierra, as the next storm swings into the northwestern states. Hoisted a Wind Advisory for the Sierra beginning late Tuesday evening, but most of the action for our area will be in the long term period. .LONG TERM...Wednesday through Monday. A cold trough over the Pacific Northwest will dig south Wednesday bringing strong winds to much of the area during the late morning and afternoon. Winds will increase over the Sierra late Tuesday night and then strengthen Wednesday morning over the eastern Sierra with the potential for strong downslope winds developing. Cross sections show the strongest winds to remain at mid slope and higher, but will need to watch for strong winds potentially surfacing into the Owens Valley. Winds across the remainder of the area are forecast to increase by late morning and afternoon with the strongest belt of winds generally from southern Inyo County across Clark and into Lincoln County and areas south. Winds will likely reach advisory levels over most of those areas with gusts potentially 45-50 mph as surface pressure and thermal gradients tighten. These winds will likely put outdoor Christmas decorations in peril. A cold front is then forecast to move through the CWA Wednesday afternoon and evening with the front likely reaching southern Nevada early evening. Dynamics associated with the front look to be rather strong with precipitation developing along and behind the front across mainly across central Nye, Lincoln and northern Mohave Counties. Although moisture will be rather limited, there will be enough dynamics to squeeze what moisture is available. This will also be the best chance for Las Vegas to see a few rain drops as the front moves through. Precipitation chances will be a bit higher in the Spring Mountains and Sheep Range Wednesday evening, but any significant measurable precipitation is not likely. Gusty winds will also occur post frontal, but will gradually diminish. Behind the front, temperatures will be much cooler with highs on Thursday down about 10-15 degrees from Wednesday. Cool northerly flow will continue Friday just ahead of another weak trough that is forecast to dig into the area. This will provide additional colder air for the weekend with the coldest temperatures of the season likely. Current model output is showing low temperatures in the Las Vegas valley in the mid to upper 20s. That would be that some outlying areas such as Mountains Edge, Summerlin, and Henderson could see lows in the upper teens. && .AVIATION...For McCarran...Light and variable winds today will become southwesterly around 6 knots after sunset, then go back to light and variable late Tuesday morning. No operationally significant clouds or weather expected. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...Breezy north wind at KIFP and KEED should decrease around sunset. Elsewhere, winds will generally be light and variable through Tuesday before west to southwest winds begin to increase over the Sierra Tuesday evening.
