Area forecast discussion, Jun 26, 10:38 AM PDT, 2 hours 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 1038 AM PDT Fri Jun 26 2020 .SYNOPSIS...Afternoon thunderstorm activity with brief heavy rain and gusty outflow winds will be possible again today as a weather system moves overhead. Another more potent weather system will impact the area late this weekend, bringing strong southwest winds Sunday and a significant cool down by Monday. Cooler temperatures will remain through much next week ending the week with near normal temperatures. && .UPDATE...While RAP products have been underanalyzing the moist surface air, thermodynamics today look weaker than previously expected. Still, afternoon buildups are expected on the mountains from Lincoln County all the way down towards Twentynine Palms with some gusty outflow possible. Updated forecast with latest high- resolution guidance. && .DISCUSSION...Today through next Friday. The shortwave currently digging into southeast CA and southwest NV will continue its journey southeast making its way overhead later this afternoon. Ample forcing will continue this afternoon under the low center and elongated trough axis, providing enough ascent for thunderstorms to develop. Thunderstorms are expected to develop along this axis and initially form over the higher terrain. Forecast soundings indicate very dry low levels (below ~600mb), SBCAPE of 500- 1200 J/kg, DCAPE 1500-2000 J/kg and steep lapse rates with high dewpoint depressions making the primary impact gusty outflow winds. Though, given weak 0-6km shear profiles and lower CAPE values, storms likely won't be able to organize much and updraft strength will be tempered so outflow winds to 30-40 mph are more likely. Light mean winds will produce slow moving storms which may create localized ponding/ minor flooding concerns for normally flash flood prone spots. Outside of storm influences, winds are expected to be lighter areawide this afternoon. Slightly 'cooler' temperatures than yesterday expected this afternoon. Mostly dry conditions expected Saturday as the shortwave shifts farther southeast. Lingering moisture Saturday will likely lead to cumulus buildups over the higher terrain leading to a few virga showers. Breezy southwest winds expected Saturday afternoon-evening as a potent trough begins to dig into the Great Basin region, resulting in increased pressure gradients. Within the next 7 days, Saturday will be the last day with above normal temperatures. A more potent trough is still expected to move through the Great Basin late this weekend into early next week. Since there is limited moisture with this system the main concerns will be wind and fire weather. A belt of strong southwest winds is expected Sunday into Monday in response to the tightening pressure gradients. Strongest winds are expected Sunday afternoon with gusts as high as 40-50 mph. Additionally, a strong cold front moving through the area Monday will drastically drop temperatures Monday afternoon. Current forecast drops temperatures 12-15 degrees in less than a 24 hour period. General troughiness will remain across the Great Basin region through midweek and transition to more southwest flow as a ridge of high pressure builds over the south-central CONUS by late week. Temperatures will gradually increase through next week with near normal temperatures to end the work week before the holiday weekend. && .AVIATION...For McCarran...Winds will become light and variable early this morning followed by easterly components 6-8 knots during the early afternoon. An unstable air mass will lead to thunderstorms developing around the mountains of southern Nevada during the afternoon and there will be potential for thunderstorms with cloud bases around 10 kft in the vicinity of the airport. Thunderstorm wind gusts of 25-30 knots from the south or southwest may push through the terminal area late in the afternoon. Conditions should stabilize early this evening with typical light southwest winds and clearing skies overnight. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...A low pressure system and an unstable air mass over the region today will produce isolated to scattered afternoon thunderstorms over southern Nevada and parts of Inyo and San Bernardino counties in southeast California this afternoon. Pulse storms with slow movement can be expected. Thunderstorm wind gusts of 25-35 knots will be the primary hazard between 21Z and 02Z. Conditions will stabilize this evening with light winds and clearing skies tonight. && .FIRE WEATHER...Elevated to critical fire weather concerns are expected across the region over the next few days. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon across southern NV, southeast CA and northwest AZ. Dry lightning may be a concern, but the bigger concern will be gusty outflow winds. Another round of more widespread winds and low humidity will create critical fire weather conditions for Sunday, lingering into Monday for Northwest Arizona. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && UPDATE...Steele DISCUSSION/FIRE...Kryston AVIATION...Adair For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: https://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
