...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1030 PM MST FOR
SOUTH CENTRAL MOHAVE COUNTY...

At 915 PM MST, gauge reports indicated that the water level in the 
Big Sandy River just south of Wikieup had fallen to about 1 foot 
after rising to a depth of over 7 feet. Flash flooding will continue 
to flow down the Big Sandy River into Alamo Lake at least until 1030 
PM.

Alamo Lake, Alamo Road and Signal Road.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.

Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where 
you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become 
killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid 
washes or normally dry river beds like the Big Sandy River.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV
349 PM PDT Wed Jul 11 2018

.SYNOPSIS...Plentiful moisture will remain in place through the
upcoming weekend resulting in daily chances for showers and
thunderstorms. Best chances for storm activity tonight will be
across southern Mohave and San Bernardino counties as well as across
Clark and Lincoln County. For the coming days the best chances for
storms will be across the high terrain with the lower Mojave Desert
beginning to gradually dry and warm late this week into the weekend.
Heavy rainfall and gusty winds will be possible with storms.
&&

.SHORT TERM...Active afternoon so will be brief. Numerous
thunderstorms across southeast California and southern Mohave county
producing heavy rain within the Flash Flood Watch area. Watch will
continue into the evening with no plan of expanding at this time.
Elsewhere, coverage of thunderstorms more isolated to scattered
across south central Nevada and northern Mohave County. Coverage and
intensity of storms will diminish during the overnight hours with
models suggesting showers or weak thunderstorms drifting southwest
out of Lincoln County/northwest Mohave County into Clark county late
evening and overnight. HRRR indicates possible MCV developing over
Clark county after midnight. Storms should initiate early on the
higher terrain once again Thursday with hi-resolutions solutions
clustered together suggesting the potential of some type of broken
line or cluster of storms moving southeast out of Lincoln/central
Nye counties into southern Nye and Clark counties Thursday evening.

LONG TERM...Friday and beyond

High pressure begins to shift overhead
and broaden through the period. Moisture will remain in place, but a
lack of significant forcing and the shifting high will result in a
downward trend in convection over the lower Mojave Desert and
diurnal terrain-driven storms to the north. Temperatures will also
rise, though at this time it appears that temperatures will remain
below excessive heat levels. It will continue to feel somewhat muggy
by desert standards into next week.
&&

.AVIATION...For McCarran...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms
within all approach corridors looks to dissipate early this evening.
After a quite evening some rain showers may move into the valley
from the northeast during the late evening and overnight hours.
Confidence low so will only mention as a VCSH now. On Thursday,
storms will develop over the higher terrain and not impact the
valley until late afternoon or hold off until the evening hours.
Outside of storms, winds will generally favor a southerly direction
at 10 kts or less.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...Coverage of showers and thunderstorms will start
decreasing early this evening, only to redevelop primarily over the
higher terrain Thursday. With storms that develop, erratic, gusty
winds and locally heavy downpours will be likely along with periods
of lower cigs between 6k-9k feet. Outside of storm activity, winds
will favor the southerly direction between 10-15 knots with
intermittent gusts to around 20 knots possible this afternoon into
this evening before winds decrease overnight. &&

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...There will be chances for
thunderstorms each day through next week. Spotter activation may be
needed at times. Regardless of activation, spotters are encouraged
to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard
operating procedures.
