Area forecast discussion, Aug 2, 9:40 AM PDT, 3 hours 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 940 AM PDT Mon Aug 2 2021 .SYNOPSIS...An area of high pressure begins to build into the Mojave Desert to start the week and will be the main weather maker for the next several days. Temperatures will be trending upward through mid week and are expected to reach excessively hot levels over portions of the area on Tuesday and Wednesday. Other than some isolated thunderstorms today, conditions are expected to be dry through && .UPDATE...Mainly clear skies across the area today with a few cumulus clouds already forming over the mountains. The latest hires models continue to forecast a drying trend today with high pressure building over the region. Thunderstorm coverage today will be isolated and mainly tied to the higher terrain of Lincoln, Clark and portions of Mohave counties. Storms should be less efficient rain producers but just enough moisture remains for a few cells to produce brief heavy rain. Otherwise, expect warmer conditions with high temperatures around 5 degrees warmer than yesterday or right around normal for this time of year. && .PREVIOUSLY ISSUED DISCUSSION... .SHORT TERM...Some minor convective activity was diminishing in Esmeralda County overnight with only some scattered clouds lingering across Esmeralda and central Nye Counties. Drier and more stable air continues to work its way across the forecast area. The latest HREF indicates just enough moisture and instability across eastern Lincoln and Mohave Counties for a few lingering showers or thunderstorms on Monday. The best opportunity will be in the early afternoon. Elsewhere, expect mostly dry conditions with some cumulus developing over the high terrain. Otherwise, a ridge of high pressure will begin to build into the area, peaking in strength on Wednesday when it will be centered over the Colorado River Valley. Temperatures will be trending steadily higher over the next few days. The most anomalous temperatures will be found over portions of southern California, which is reflected in the latest ECMWF Ensemble EFI values. As the ridge builds and the surface temperatures respond an Excessive Heat Watch has been issued for our southern San Bernardino County zones and the Colorado River Valley zones on Tuesday. The Excessive Heat Watch expands to include the northwest deserts of Mohave County, the Las Vegas Valley and southern Nye County on Wednesday. Temperatures will be nearing && .LONG TERM...Thursday through the Weekend. The ensembles are in good agreement through Wednesday, but by Thursday and there some minor differences that may have some impact on how long the heat will last. The main difference is how some of the ensemble members are handling an approaching shortwave that will be moving onshore in northern California on Thursday. About half of the ensemble members have the approaching trough a bit deeper, and provide more dampening of the ridge. However, the trough will also provide some additional mixing and enhancing the potential to maximize temperatures. There is some potential for the Excessive Heat products to be extended into Thursday for some zones but with the uncertainty will leave any zones out for now. By Friday the ridge pushes to the east and is centered over New Mexico. This will open the door for a return of moisture as the flow turns more to the southeast across Arizona. Long range ensembles do indicate at moisture beginning to creep back in later Friday and continuing to increase over the weekend. At this point the GEFS is a little more bullish with the moisture increase than the ECMWF ensemble members. The best potential for thunderstorms are across && .AVIATION...For McCarran...Light winds favoring typical diurnal patterns are expected today with just a few clouds in the afternoon around 10kft AGL. No thunderstorm activity is expected in the region today with an extended dry spell expected to last through the week. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...Some southeasterly breezes are possible at KBIH in the afternoon, as well as the typical breezy evening westerly winds at KDAG. But otherwise, light winds are expected across the region with dry conditions and just a few afternoon cumulus clouds developing && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && UPDATE...Salmen DISCUSSION...Czyzyk AVIATION...Outler For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: https://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
