Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV
905 PM PDT Wed Oct 3 2018

.SYNOPSIS...An approaching Pacific storm system will increase
thunderstorm coverage overnight, especially over Mohave County and
adjacent areas of Clark and Lincoln counties, where severe storms
will be possible. Cooler storm systems coming in from the north will
bring unsettled conditions with below normal temperatures over the
weekend into early next week.
&&

.UPDATE...Upper trough finally moving inland this evening. The
feature adding the necessary shear/lift for more robust convection
this evening. Seen a few severe storms across San Bernardino County
so far. Storms also have a history of producing locally heavy
rainfall. Anticipate the Colorado River and Mohave County to remain
the most active regions overnight as trough continues to shift east.
In the update touched up POPs, QPF and weather grids.
&&

.AVIATION...For McCarran...So far, showers and thunderstorms have
stayed away from the terminal. However, there is still a threat for
showers or thunderstorms to develop into the early morning hours of
Thursday before the threat shifts east by daybreak. If storms
develop, they could produce gusty, erratic winds and small hail.
Winds should continue to be from the south or southwest with
sustained winds of 8 to 12 kts. Winds will trend downward before
sunrise with southwest winds beginning to increase again tomorrow
afternoon with possible gusts to 20 kts. By 12-14Z tomorrow morning,
expect FEW-SCT clouds around 8 kft.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...TAF sites within the Colorado River Valley could see
showers and thunderstorms late this evening and could create gusty
and erratic winds. Breezy southwest winds expected again tomorrow
afternoon with gusts around 20 kts for most terminals, excluding BIH
where north winds are expected.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...254 PM PDT Wed Oct 3 2018
.DISCUSSION...tonight through next Wednesday.

The upper low off the California Coast will finally move inland
tonight and increasing upward forcing and wind shear along the
leading edge will produce organized bands of thunderstorms
especially across substantial portions of southern Nevada and
northwest Arizona...especially after sunset through the overnight
hours. Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible and the best
threat areas will be over Lincoln, northeast Clark and Mohave
County. Since conditions for organized thunderstorms will come
together primarily after dark...storms generally will not be quite
as strong as they otherwise would with the aid of daytime heating.
It should still be a very active night of thunderstorms which high
res models have consistently been showing.

The axis of the upper low is forecast to be over southwest Utah by
sunrise Thursday as it opens up and continues lifting to the
northeast leaving more tranquil conditions across our forecast area
in its wake much of the day Thursday. An upstream shortwave over
northern California will then slide down over southern Nevada
Thursday night and early Friday...driving a weak cold front with
some showers associated with it over central Nevada.

A cool and dry northwest flow will be over the region Friday ahead
of energy diving down from the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada
which will call attention to the arrival of the fall season.
Multiple waves diving out of western Canada will carve out a deep
broad closed low over the western states over the weekend then it
will lift toward the northern plains early in the week ahead another
system diving down over the Great Basin. This pattern will keep
temperatures several degrees below normal with showers primarily
over the southern Great Basin zones and snow levels around 6500-7000
feet.
&&

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Severe thunderstorms will be
possible this evening, especially in Mohave County and nearby areas
of northeast Clark and Lincoln counties. Isolated flash flooding
will also be possible. We encourage spotters to report any
significant weather or impacts in your area.
