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 3, 9:14 AM PST, 3 hours 28 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 3, 9:14 AM PST, 3 hours 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 914 AM PST Thu Mar 3 2022 .SYNOPSIS...One more day of dry and mild conditions are expected today with temperatures well above normal. A series of storm systems will bring increased chances for winds, light rain and minor snow to high elevations Friday and Saturday. Much cooler temperatures will accompany the wetter weather over the weekend with a gradual warmup and drier conditions expected for next week. && .UPDATE...Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas currently sits at 65F as we gear up for the warmest day of the year so far. Valleys can expect temperatures in the upper 70s to lower 80s, with higher elevation areas in the upper 60s to lower 70s today. Late this afternoon, gusty south winds will ramp up quickly, but will diminish a bit after sunset. These winds may be enough to bump temperatures to within a few degrees of daily records, particularly along the Colorado River Valley. Needles, CA has a daily record of 91 (1910). No changes were made to the forecast this morning, as it looks to be in good shape. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...404 AM PST Thu Mar 3 2022/ .SHORT TERM...Today through Saturday. One more day of well above average temperatures and dry conditions before the first of several low pressure systems impacts the region beginning Friday morning. This system, which was once expected to track much farther north, is now progged to dive south into southern California before pushing inland and across the southwest CONUS Friday. This more southward track, coupled with the right IWT conditions, would typically be a favorable precip producer for the region. This particular system however effectively chokes off a meager moisture plume before coming on shore, thus QPF values are rather lackluster. It's actually the second, much colder system Saturday that presents the better possibility for precip, which is counterintuitive given it originates from much farther north. It brings some moisture with it from the Pacific NW, loses most of it over the Sierra, but secondarily taps into the remnants of the first system's moisture and wraps it back into Nevada. This meager moisture interacts with a deeper low, better dynamics and even some decent instability which could produce some convective precip Saturday across Lincoln, northern Nye, and Mohave counties. Although the 48 hour precip advertised by the deterministic NBM is a quarter inch or less in these areas, it's where the best potential for overachieving appears to be. This is well illustrated both in the 00Z ECMWF EFI and NBM QPF PDF. What does that mean for precip impacts? Even with the 90th percentile QPF, this would be borderline Winter Weather Advisories for Lincoln, Nye, the AZ strip and the eastern Sierra slopes, so believe most impacts would be minor and watches don't appear to be warranted. More likely than winter headlines will be wind headlines for Friday and Saturday. With such a stark temperature drop expected, that's usually a red flag for strong winds associated with a cold front. In this case, that is somewhat tempered by the fact these two systems are so close together. A rather broad surface low sets up in response to Friday's system which will indeed make things breezy for the region, but generally below 40 mph gusts outside of perhaps the Barstow area. Things ramp up late Friday and into Saturday in response to the second, deeper system however. As surface pressure rises somewhat with the exiting system, the surface gradient sees a net increase ahead of the cold front and pushes things possibly into the 40-50 mph range for locations along and south of the I-15 corridor. So, believe that a wind advisory at this time seems like the most likely headline for over the weekend. .LONG TERM...Sunday through Wednesday. The deep trough carved out over the Desert Southwest by the two preceding low pressure systems will remain in place Sunday and Monday as yet another cold upper low dives down from the north. This final feature will have very limited moisture and should keep any chances for showers confined to Lincoln and northern Mohave counties on Sunday. It will primarily bring gusty north winds to our region...especially Monday into Tuesday as it departs while temperatures slowly climb a few degrees each day and eventually recover to near normal by Wednesday under a dry northwest flow. && .AVIATION...For Harry Reid...Light winds through mid morning are expected with BKN high clouds AOA 20k feet. After 18z, winds are forecast to become more easterly around 6-7 kts into early afternoon before shifting to the southeast around 22z. These southeast winds are expected to be around 10-15 kts at times. Winds are then forecast to become south to southwest after 23z with gusts up to 20 kts. Winds will diminish after sunset, but remain south to southwest overnight around 10 kts. BKN high clouds expected to persist overnight along with a FEW clouds around 15k feet. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwestern Arizona, and southeastern California...Winds generally less than 10 kts through mid day before increasing during the afternoon. South to southwest winds are expected to be between 10-20 kts over most locations with a few gusts approaching 25 kts in the lower Colorado River Valley. BKN high clouds AOA 20k feet. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && UPDATE...Varian SHORT TERM...TB3 LONG TERM...Adair AVIATION...Gorelow For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: https://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
