NWS Las Vegas, NV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Apr 19, 8:35 PM PDT, 7 hours 1 minute earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 19, 8:35 PM PDT, 7 hours 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 835 PM PDT Tue Apr 19 2022 .SYNOPSIS...An active synoptic pattern this week will lead to windy conditions for much of the week heading into the weekend. Temperatures will cool off significantly in response to a deeper storm Thursday and Friday and gradually warm up heading into early next week. This late week system could also bring late season, high elevation snowfall but accumulations should be very minor. && .UPDATE...Wind gusts decreased about 10-15 mph at many sites around southern Nevada between 7 PM and 8 PM and speeds will gradually diminish late this evening through the overnight hours. The wind advisories will be allowed to expire on schedule at 9 pm PDT/MST this evening. Winds will be fairly light Wednesday over most of the region except the western Mojave Desert of San Bernardino County including Barstow-Daggett where gusts around 35 mph will persist Wednesday. Thursday will bring another widespread windy day ahead of a deeper and cooler trough which swings across our region Thursday night and Friday. -Adair && .PREV DISCUSSION... 1250 PM PDT Tue Apr 19 2022 .SHORT TERM...Through Wednesday night. Windy into this evening as mid-level trough progresses east through the Intermountain West. Most prominent plume on the dust RGB being detected in the Searles Valley in far northwest San Bernardino County. High wind potential for the southern Sierra should subside a bit early as trough axis progged to clear western Inyo County between 21Z and 00Z this afternoon. Otherwise, products set to expire at 9 pm this evening. Area progged to lie between systems Wednesday as deeper trough crosses the northeast Pacific. Winds will remain elevated tonight into Wednesday, especially across the western Mojave Desert. However, looks like a winds will remain below advisory thresholds. .LONG TERM...Thursday through Tuesday. The ensembles are in decent agreement with the upper low with some differences in timing and strength. This system will be wetter and colder than the past few systems with snow levels falling to around 5000 feet in the eastern Sierra and Owens Valley and to 5500 to 6000 feet in southern Nevada and northwest Arizona. Precipitation will move into the eastern Sierra during the day on Thursday and then spread into much of the rest of the forecast area Thursday evening and overnight into Friday morning. Overall precipitation totals aren't expected to be too high but the values have trended slightly higher with recent models runs. Many valley locations will be lucky to get any measurable rainfall as moisture will encounter the Sierra range, but higher locations in Lincoln County and the Sierra may see a up to 0.25 inches of liquid equivalent and some measurable snowfall. Any early season outdoor enthusiast needs to be prepared for very chilly conditions Thursday night with potential for accumulating snows in the higher terrain. The latest cluster analysis indicates the main upper low should be well to the east of the area by Saturday afternoon but with some indications of some leftover troughiness and northwest flow even into Sunday. Overall the trend will be for some increasing temperatures over the weekend, reaching near the seasonal normals by Sunday in many locations. There are some differences with the amount of ridging that develops at the start of next week, but there is good agreement with higher heights and a warming trend. && .FIRE WEATHER...Red Flag Warnings remain in effect until until 9 pm this evening. Another windy period is expected Thursday and Friday for the region. More uncertainty regarding minimum humidities Thursday so far now have held off on a watch. On Friday, humidity values rise above 15% so don't expect a watch will be needed. && .AVIATION...For Harry Reid...Gusty south to southwest winds will remain through the early evening (03-04Z) with gusts to 35 knots possible.
