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 Apr 17, 8:44 PM MST, 3 hours 52 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 17, 8:44 PM MST, 3 hours 52 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 844 PM PDT Sun Apr 17 2022 .SYNOPSIS...Warmer conditions are expected through Wednesday as high pressure attempts to build into the region. Sporadic gusty winds are expected for much of the week, particularly on Tuesday and again Thursday and Friday as a stronger weather system moves though. Some light showers may accompany the gusty conditions late in the week. && .UPDATE...The closed low off the southwest BC coast will continue to strengthen through tonight and Monday morning before shifting eastward across the PacNW Monday night. As this occurs, the high- amplitude ridge over much of the westerns CONUS will shift east, across the interior CONUS by Tuesday. This will result in increased southwest flow and pressure gradients across the Southwest - bringing yet another bout of winds. Light winds Monday morning will give way through the afternoon, with breezy west to southwest winds developing by Monday afternoon across much of the region. Even as the ridge shifts east through the day Monday, the enhanced winds during the afternoon will allow Monday to be about 10 degrees above seasonal normal. Forecast looks on track and no evening updates were needed. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued at 1252 PM PDT Sun Apr 17 2022/ .DISCUSSION...through next Sunday. Gorgeous Easter Sunday in progress. Plenty of sunshine, warm temperatures and yes, much lighter winds. Temperatures will warm several more degrees Monday, making tomorrow the warmest day of the next 7. However, a noticable increase in southwest winds will seen tomorrow afternoon with gusts approaching 30 mph in the valleys. Wind gusts in excess of 40 mph at the highest ridges of the Spring Mountains and southern Sierra Nevada. Winds aloft stay elevated Monday night in response to a trough moving into the Pacific Northwest. This system will quickly progress east through the northern Rockies/Great Basin Tuesday ushering in an onslaught of gusty winds. Model simulations consistent to yesterday showing strongest belt of southwest winds running from the western Mojave Desert northeast into Clark and Mohave Counties. Most valley locations can expect 40-50 mph wind gusts while gusts of 55 to 65 mph possible for Red Rock Canyon and higher elevations. Decide to hold off on the issuance of wind headlines at this time as some uncertainty exists on strength and timing of potential downslope winds in the lee of the southern Sierra and Owens Valley. Trough passage will be dry with the exception of far northwest Inyo County where a 20% chance of light showers exists. Blowing dusts, choppy water on area lakes, difficult travel for hi-profile vehicles and blowing debris primary impacts. Area will reside between systems Wednesday but likely staying breezy. Deeper trough slated to impact the region late week with persist south-southwest winds ongoing. NBM PoPs indicating precipitation starting in our far northwest zones Thursday. Area progresses east-southeast across the remainder of southern Nevada, southeast California and northwest Arizona Thursday night-Friday evening. Latest run of the NBM is faster to end precipitation, no longer showing PoPs in eastern Lincoln and northern Mohave Counties Saturday. Coolest day will be Friday under thicker cloud cover and threat of showers. Temperatures quickly rebound back to normal/above normal next weekend under some north breezes. && .FIRE WEATHER...A Fire Weather Watch has been issued from 9 am PDT/MST to 9 pm PDT/MST Tuesday for far southern Nevada and northwest Arizona. An incoming storm system will produce a belt of strong/gusty southwest winds across the area. Those winds along with relative humidity values below 15% and fuels deemed critical may lead to rapid spread of any new fire starts. && .AVIATION...For Harry Reid...Light and variable winds, possibly favoring an easterly direction this afternoon before another push of south-southwesterly winds comes in at sometime in the late afternoon or early evening. The majority of models this morning trended later with the wind shift but a few are still holding to the 22z shift so confidence is lower in this regard. With the eventual shift, wind speeds are expected to be around 10 knots with possible gusts up to 16-18 knots. Winds will be a little stronger out of the south-southwest on Monday with wind speeds 10-15 knots and gusts up to 25 knots. Expect increasing high clouds tonight and Monday becoming BKN aoa 20k feet. A FEW clouds around 15k feet are possible. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...Typical diurnal type winds this afternoon before winds increase slightly late in the afternoon or early this evening. Most sites will have southerly winds at 8-12 knots with the exception of KDAG where westerly winds around 10-15 knots are expected overnight. An increase in winds are expected on Monday - generally in the 10-20 knot range with higher gusts. KDAG winds will be southwest-west at 20-25 knots with gusts 30-35 knots. Expected increasing high clouds tonight and Monday with SCT-BKN generally above 15k feet. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && UPDATE...Peters DISCUSSION/FIRE WEATHER...Pierce AVIATION...Salmen For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: https://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
