What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind warning 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 high wind warning went out at Apr 8, 10:15 AM PDT, 4 hours 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 8, 10:15 AM PDT, 4 hours 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 1015 AM PDT Mon Apr 8 2019 .SYNOPSIS...Temperatures will peak about 10 to 15 degrees above normal today then a fast moving cold front will bring strong winds and much cooler temperatures to most of the region Tuesday and Wednesday. Another low pressure system is forecast to drop over the region Friday keeping temperatures below normal. A warming trend will occur for the weekend with breezy conditions Sunday. && .UPDATE... A broad-scale ridge remains in place over the Desert Southwest today. High clouds will continue to spill over the ridge but with southwest winds supporting low-level mixing we should still be able to get temps up in the vicinity of 90 degrees for Vegas and 100 degrees for Death Valley this afternoon. Going into tonight the next incoming trough will push onshore and initiate light activity over the southern Sierra going into early tomorrow morning. No significant updates needs to the near term forecast. && .DISCUSSION...Today through next Monday. Temperatures will climb about 3-5 degrees across the region today to peak about 10-15 degrees above normal under a broad ridge of high pressure. Still looking for close to 90 degrees in Las Vegas and 100 in Death Valley. Considerable high clouds will stream through the ridge which will slightly inhibit temperatures from reaching their full potential. A dramatic change in the weather will then occur as a fast moving trough swings into Northern California tonight then dives down through Southern Nevada Tuesday afternoon and evening. This will produce widespread strong winds across both ahead of and behind the associated cold front which is forecast to sweep through southern Nevada late Tuesday afternoon. The speed of the upper level trough and the thermal gradient during peak daytime heating will enhance the potential for extensive gusts over 60 mph. The High Wind Watch will remain in effect for most of the region. A Wind Advisory was also issued for the Colorado River Valley Tuesday afternoon and evening where gusts over 40 mph will be likely. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms can also be expected with the passing front primarily over Lincoln County Tuesday afternoon. Gusty northwest winds will persist behind the exiting system Wednesday. A brief break between systems will occur Thursday then closed upper low is forecast to drop out of the Pacific Northwest into Southern California/Nevada Friday and Friday night then it pulls away across southern Arizona Saturday. A mean trough is forecast to remain over the region over the weekend and early next week with possible disturbances moving through to stir up winds at times. This pattern will keep temperatures on a bit of roller coaster with readings dropping several degrees below normal Wednesday through Friday with highs only in the 60s to lower 70s across the Mojave Desert zones. Temps will rebound to near normal over the weekend and early next week. && .AVIATION...For McCarran...Light winds will continue through the morning. By midmorning, light easterly winds will return for a brief period before they become more southeast in the afternoon. By late afternoon and this evening, south to southwest winds will develop and should slowly increase. Gusts 15-20kts are likely for a brief period before sunset. After that, low confidence that gusts will continue through the night, so dropped them in the current TAF forecast. If they did continue, 20-25kts gusts can be expected. Either way, south to southwest winds over 10kts are likely over night. By Tuesday morning, winds will rapidly increase out of the southeast ahead of an approaching cold front. High confidence that gusts will quickly develop mid Tuesday morning, but lower confidence in speeds. Likely gusts over 25kts for 15-18Z, with higher gusts possible. Strong winds are expected by Tuesday afternoon, with gusts up to 40kts possible. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...Light winds will begin to increase today across the region ahead of the next system moving through on Tuesday. Generally south to southwest winds can be expected with occasional gusts to 20kts possible. Winds will remain at or above 10kts overnight, with gusts likely continuing at DAG out of the west. Strong winds are expected on Tuesday, with widespread gusts 30-40kts expected Tuesday afternoon. Across the forecast area, high BKN clouds will last through the TAF period. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...High winds will be possible across much of the region Tuesday afternoon and evening. Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && DISCUSSION...Adair AVIATION....Wolf UPDATE...Guillet For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: http://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
