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 For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: https://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
