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 Mar 18, 9:01 AM PDT, 3 hours 59 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 18, 9:01 AM PDT, 3 hours 59 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV
901 AM PDT Fri Mar 18 2022

.SYNOPSIS...Warmer temperatures can be expected today and Saturday
ahead of a storm system that will bring breezy and unsettled weather
to the area for the end of the weekend and early next week.
Conditions will then improve and temperatures will warm up by the
second half of next week as a high pressure ridge builds along the
Pacific Coast.
&&

.UPDATE...The current forecast remains on track with no major
changes necessary at this time. Above average temperatures and
relatively light winds are expected across the region today with
increasing cloud cover this evening. Weather will become more active
this weekend with winds picking up across the region and a slight
chance of showers Saturday into Sunday for much of the forecast area.

&&
.SHORT TERM...through Sunday. Early morning satellite images show a
few high clouds remaining over Mohave and Lincoln counties. These
clouds will continue to move east and should clear the area
shortly after sunrise. A weak short wave ridge building across the
region along with abundant sunshine will cause temperatures to
warm to a few degrees above normal today. High clouds will begin
to move over northern portions of the area overnight as a trough
of low pressure over the eastern Pacific moves into northern
California. South to southwest winds ahead of this trough will
increase by Saturday afternoon, with the strongest winds expected
in Inyo, San Bernardino, Esmeralda, and Nye counties. Current
thinking is that speeds will remain below criteria levels but
favored downslope areas in Inyo county and along the north/east
side of the Spring Mountains will need to be closely monitored for
potential headlines. PoPs have not changed much with northern
areas being the most likely to see measurable precipitation. As
the base of the trough passes over the area late Saturday night
and Sunday morning, there may be enough instability to produce a
few lightning strikes across Mohave County. As this trough moves
to the east Sunday, precipitation chances will quickly end. Winds
Sunday morning will shift to the north and become gusty as a cold
front passes across the area. With strong cold air advection in
the wake of the trough, temperatures will fall back to near normal
levels Sunday afternoon.

.LONG TERM...Monday through next Friday.

As the aforementioned weather system pushes eastward out of our
area for the start of the workweek, an upper level area of high
pressure will set up over the Pacific Ocean that will dominate our
weather pattern for the remainder of the forecast period.

As the ridge of high pressure strengthens and pushes the low
pressure system eastward, the tightened pressure gradient will
result in gusty north winds across portions of southern Nevada and
northwestern Arizona Monday afternoon. Due to topographic
enhancement, the strongest of these winds will be along the
Colorado River Valley where winds will approach Wind Advisory
criteria and result in wave heights in excess of 3 feet. Operation
of small craft on Lake Mohave and Lake Havasu will not be
encouraged on Monday as a result.

Additionally, the rising heights will allow us to jump from
below- average temperatures this weekend to flirting with record
high temperatures going into next weekend. Las Vegas will
experience the first 80F day of the year, with the first 90F day
of the year (potentially) on its heels. The NBMv4.0 shows a 93%
chance of Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas reaching
80F next Friday, with a 41% chance of reaching 90F. The daily
record high temperature for March 25th is 87F, set in 1981.
&&

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...Light winds generally less than 6
knots can be expected today and tonight with easterly components
in the afternoon and southwest at night under a mostly clear sky.
Southwest winds will increase late Saturday morning into the
afternoon as a Pacific System approaches.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwestern Arizona, and
southeastern California...Light winds can be expected across the
region today and tonight under a mostly clear sky. Southwest winds
will increase late Saturday morning into the afternoon as a Pacific
System approaches.
&&

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

SHORT TERM...Planz
LONG TERM...Varian
AVIATION...Adair
