What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this excessive heat 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 excessive heat warning went out at May 31, 2:20 AM PDT, 11 hours 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 31, 2:20 AM PDT, 11 hours 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 220 AM PDT Mon May 31 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Dry conditions and an upward trend in temperatures can be expected through at least Thursday. Hottest days will be Wednesday and Thursday with highs reaching within a couple degrees of daily records for some areas. Heat impacts will be the main concern as heat risk increases to "high" for locations including Las Vegas by Thursday. Gusty winds will begin Thursday and continue into the weekend. && .SHORT TERM...Today and Tomorrow. A dry and hot day Memorial Day will set the stage for the rest of the week with highs approaching the century mark for Las Vegas and higher for the lower desert valleys. The big question mark for many thermometer watches will be if Memorial Day will also be the first 100 degree day of the year, which would also score us a 100 for the month of May. The NBM deterministic is sticking with 99 officially with some bias corrected guidance pushing it to 100. Of note, the 01Z NBM probabilistic guidance suggests a 67% chance of 100 today despite its 99 degree official forecast. With some high clouds moving in this afternoon, it may just be enough to keep that 100 at bay. So we have to wonder...it's going to be June, or it's gonna be May? We should safely get there Tuesday as H5 heights increase almost 7 decameters over Nevada due to a quickly building ridge. This will be the ridge of focus for the rest of the week that resulted in our issuance of the Excessive Heat Watch Thursday. .LONG TERM...Wednesday through Sunday. The forecast for this time frame has not changed much with a high amplitude ridge forecast over the western states on Wednesday that slowly transitions east on Thursday and Friday as troughing moves over the PacNW. Wednesday and Thursday are still forecast to be the hottest days of the week with temperatures warming to within a few degrees of records. New data from the NBM this evening had only slight changes and keeps high temperatures about 10 degrees above normal both days. An Excessive Heat Watch is in effect for both days for areas where high Heat Risk is forecast including Death Valley National Park and surrounding low elevation locations, the southern parts of Nye County including Pahrump, the Las Vegas Valley and Mesquite area in Clark County, and the Colorado River Valley from Lake Mead south to the Laughlin/Bullhead City area. Elsewhere, widespread moderate heat risk is expected with the exception of the higher elevations. After Thursday when the high pressure ridge is gone and troughing is present to our north, temperatures are expected to become less hot but still above normal for next weekend. With the troughing over the PacNW on Friday dropping south into the Great Basin, we could see some wind response which could lead to increase in fire concern. && .AVIATION...For McCarran...Typical diurnal wind patterns less than 8KT are expected through the TAF period. The only deviation may be some southeast winds around 00Z this evening, however speeds should remain less than 8KT. Occasional clouds around 15kft-20kft are expected through Tuesday morning. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...North to northwest winds will persist at BIH through today, with gusts up to 25KT possible late this afternoon through early this evening. Otherwise, typical diurnal winds are expected through the TAF period at most locations. Occasional mid to high level clouds are likely across the region. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && SHORT TERM...TB3 LONG TERM...Salmen AVIATION...Nickerson For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: https://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
