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 May 7, 10:32 AM PDT, 2 hours 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 7, 10:32 AM PDT, 2 hours 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV
1032 AM PDT Sat May 7 2022

.SYNOPSIS...Temperatures will drop a few degrees each day over the
weekend with below average temperatures on tap for early next week
as a broad trough moves into the region. In addition to cooling
temperatures, west/southwesterly wind gusts will pick up this
afternoon with stronger gusts expected on Sunday as this trough
continues to dig south.
&&

.UPDATE...Breezy west to southwest winds were reported across the
region through the morning. The strongest winds so far we through
the western Mojave Desert where gusts 35 to 45 MPH were noted in the
past hour. Otherwise, widespread gusts 20 to 30 MPH through the Owens
Valley of California, southern Nevada, and western Arizona.

Forecast for the afternoon looks on track with continued gusty winds
expected. No changes to the wind headlines as the current wind
advisory looks to capture the ares whee wind impacts are possible
and gusts 40 MPH or more are possible through the afternoon. The one
area to watch for higher than anticipated impacts for today will be
the Owens Valley as strong and/or more widespread impactful
crosswinds are possible if downsloping makes it to valley floors,
but so far the best performing short term guidance and model cross
sections would keep the stronger winds in the mid to upper slopes of
the Sierra. Others, expect a mix of sun and high clouds this
afternoon as mid level moisture streams overhead. High temperatures
will remain well above normal again today, however they will likely
run a few degrees cooler than yesterday.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...310 AM PDT Sat May 7 2022
.SHORT TERM...through Sunday.

A broad upper-level trough will gradually move into the region over
the course of the weekend, resulting in a smattering of wind and
fire weather headlines across the region today and tomorrow. As this
trough digs south on Saturday, we will see west/southwesterly wind
gusts pick up across the area in response. The strongest of these
wind gusts are expected to occur in a belt extending from the
northern portions of San Bernardino County through the southern
portion of Clark County to the north/north central portions of
Mohave County. 40-50 mph afternoon gusts are expected to occur
within this belt of winds. Additionally, 40+ mph westerly downslope
winds will be possible this afternoon in the eastern slopes of the
Sierra and the Owens Valley. Hi-res cross sections of the eastern
Sierra and Owens Valley show the strongest downslope winds
penetrating into the mid-slope region this afternoon. While the
strongest winds are not expected to make it across the valley floor,
sudden gusty cross winds will still be possible along Highway 395.

The bulk of this trough will push into the northern Great Basin
region on Sunday, resulting in a further increase in wind speeds.
The strongest winds on Sunday are expected to occur in the same belt
as Saturday, with hi-res cross sections showing an even stronger
downslope signal in the eastern slopes of the Sierra and Owens
Valley. 45-55 mph gusts are expected in the aforementioned areas on
Sunday with the potential for gusts in excess of 58 mph. Currently
there is a High Wind Watch in effect on Sunday for these areas with
increasing confidence in winds reaching High Wind Warning Criteria
in the northern portions of San Bernardino county, as well as the
eastern slopes of the Sierra and the Owens Valley. Outside of these
areas covered by a High Wind Watch, a Wind Advisory has been issued
for all remaining zones as widespread gusts around 40 mph are
expected on Sunday afternoon.

While the winds on Sunday will be stronger and more widespread than
the winds on Saturday, it does not mean that we do not expect to see
wind-related impacts on both Saturday and Sunday. The most likely
impacts associated with this weekends winds include, but are not
limited to: sudden gusty crosswinds, blowing dust resulting in
reduced visibility, increased wave heights on lakes and rivers
resulting in dangerous boating conditions, high fire danger, and
unsecured items being blown away.

.LONG TERM...Monday through Friday.

Not much has changed since last night. A anomalously deep longwave
trough still progged to lie across the western states most of next
week. Some run-to-run timing differences continue with WPC Cluster
Analysis still suggesting a slower evolution with trough sharpening
to our west over California Tuesday. Will slower development, trough
axis may still lie to our west Wednesday. There remains more
uncertainty late next week in just how soon the trough weakens and
lifts eastward.

With the slower evolution, windy conditions extend from Mother's Day
into Monday. However, don't believe winds would be at the magnitude
of Mother's Day. Otherwise, breezy periods likely persist Tuesday-
Thursday. Well below normal temperatures Monday-Wednesday with
values finally starting to moderate Thursday and Friday.

As for precipitation. NBM guidance still not overly excited with
only a slight chance shown for parts of Inyo and Esmeralda Counties
primarily Tuesday and Wednesday.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Fire weather conditions will be critical today and
tomorrow due to strong winds and low humidity across the region.
Temperatures today will be 5-10 degrees above average for much of
the region. This combined with single digit relative humidities
and 40-50 mph wind gusts across San Bernardino, Clark, Mohave, and
southwestern Lincoln counties has prompted the issuance of a Red
Flag Warning for the affected zones on Saturday. Temperatures
tomorrow will be cooler than today, but winds will be stronger
than on Saturday with 45-55+ mph gusts possible. As such, a Red
Flag Warning is in effect for all fire zones on Sunday.

&&

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...Southerly winds of 8-12 knots with
sporadic gusts to near 20 knots will remain possible through the
early morning hours before ramping up in the late morning hours
Saturday. After 18z or so, southwesterly winds with gusts exceeding
35 knots will be possible, peaking in strength in 23z-04z period
before easing up overnight. Pockets of enhanced low level turbulence
and localized visibility reductions to 5 miles with blowing dust
will be possible. Slightly stronger southwest winds will resume
during the daylight hours Sunday.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...Winds will be on the increase today across much of the
region, with southwesterly surface winds peaking in strength during
the afternoon and evening hours. Widespread gusts of 25 to 35 knots
can be expected across the Mojave Desert and Southern Great Basin,
with wind favored areas such as a KDAG gusting over 40 knots. Areas
of blowing dust and localized visibility reductions are possible.
Pockets of moderate turbulence are also likely downwind of the
Sierra and near KBIH. Winds will ease somewhat overnight Saturday
but remain breezy near KDAG.&&

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