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 Apr 7, 9:13 PM PDT, 5 hours 46 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 7, 9:13 PM PDT, 5 hours 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV
913 PM PDT Sun Apr 7 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Much warmer temperatures are expected on Monday, with Las Vegas
and Death Valley making a run at their first 90 and 100 degree
readings of the season, respectively. The next weather system
will bring strong winds and much cooler temperatures to much of
the region Tuesday and Wednesday.
&&

.UPDATE...High pressure will continue over the area tonight with
periods of high clouds passing across the region. The forecast looks
in good shape and no updates are needed at this time.
&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...328 PM PDT...

.DISCUSSION...Today through Saturday.

A ridge of high pressure will remain over the area through tomorrow
allowing for dry conditions and a dramatic warming trend as
southwest flow increases. Temps will rise 10 to 15 degrees above
seasonal norms creating our first chance so far this year at a 90
degree high temperature for Vegas and 100 degree temp for Death
Valley.

A drastic weather pattern change will occur on Tuesday as a Pacific
trough digs down from the PacNW across the Great Basin pushing a
strong, sfc cold front through the local area. Any precipitation
with this system will be limited to the southern Great Basin,
Sierra, and AZ Strip with low-end accumulations expected.
Increasing instability will be present over Lincoln County Tuesday
afternoon along the frontal boundary and isolated thunderstorms
will be possible through early evening. The most notable impacts
from this system will come in the form of winds across the region
as well as noticeably cooler temperatures behind this system. A
strong band of pre-frontal west to southwest winds will develop
early Tuesday afternoon stretching across San Bernardino, southern
Clark, and Mohave counties. As the cold front pushes into the
southern Great Basin, strong, northerly winds will follow. As
this boundary continues to push southward throughout the day the
gradient along the front will tighten significantly with the
addition of peak heating which will strengthen winds on both
sides of the boundary. Have added most of the remaining zones to
the High Wind Watch; leaving out only the Colorado River Valley
and higher elevations of Inyo County where the threat of a high
wind event appears to be lower. The timing of the watch remains
the same; beginning Tuesday afternoon and ending late Tuesday
night for the Mojave Desert and continuing through Wednesday
evening across southern Great Basin. On Wednesday, the trough will
push east of the Rockies with mean-layer troughing remaining over
the western U.S. allowing for continued strong, north winds and
below normal temps. Temps will drop from 10-15 degrees above
normal on Monday to around 5 degrees below normal for Wednesday
and Thursday which will definitely be a noticable change for most.

By late this week, the next wave will push southward across the
Great Basin on the western extent of the prevailing longwave
trough. Winds are not expected to be as strong with this system.
However, chances for showers could spread further south across
the Mojave Desert. There are still discrepancies between long term
models late in the week with the handling of this system and the
extent of the precip and reinforcing shot of cooler air so
confidence is still low in the end of the forecast.
&&

.AVIATION...For McCarran...Light winds will generally favor a
diurnal southwest direction overnight. After sunrise Monday morning,
light easterly winds will again prevail through late afternoon when
winds take on a more southerly component. BKN high clouds expected
through the remainder of the TAF period.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...Light and diurnal winds expected across the southern
Nevada TAF sites tonight. However, northerly winds around 10 kts
expected to impact the Colorado River Valley sites through the
remainder of the evening before diminishing overnight. Across the
forecast area, high BKN clouds will last through the TAF period.
&&

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

UPDATE...Salmen

DISCUSSION...Guillet
