What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind warning 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 high wind warning went out at Feb 12, 1:38 PM PST, 11 hours 30 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 12, 1:38 PM PST, 11 hours 30 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 138 PM PST Sun Feb 12 2023 .SYNOPSIS...A low pressure system off the southern California Coast swings inland over southern Arizona bringing chances for showers near Las Vegas and areas to the south and east tonight through Monday morning. A much colder system will dive down from the Gulf of Alaska on Valentine's Day and bring a blast of wind and cooler temperatures to our region along with the potential for limited low elevation snow. A cool and active weather pattern will persist through next weekend. && .SHORT TERM...Today through Monday. The closed low that could be seen circulating off the southern California Coast this morning will move inland tonight and Monday with its center moving over Yuma by 12Z Monday before slowly pulling away over southern Arizona during the day Monday. It will pick up speed Monday night as it is pushed away by the long anticipated deep cold trough dropping down from the northwest. Considerable cloud cover can be expected, but weather impacts will be fairly minor for our area from the closed low. Model model ensembles are in good agreement that the system will be close enough to bring the band of low to mid level moisture in the northern periphery of the system over much of Mohave, Clark and San Bernardino counties resulting in scattered showers with a 20-30 percent chance of measurable precipitation. The latest QPF amounts range from 0.01" to 0.10" across these zones. Snow levels will start out around 6000 feet this evening then will lower to 4500-5000 feet Monday morning which may lead to a dusting over some of the mountains, but there is not much indication of any significant accumulations for any particular site. While winds will pick up in response to the system, gusts over 40 mph for any roads or populated areas will be confined around the southern Owens Valley where a wind advisory remains in effect until 6 AM PST Monday. The rest of the region will generally see gusts 20 to 30 mph. High temperatures will only vary a few degrees each day with readings in the 60s across the Mojave Desert...near or slightly above normal. .LONG TERM...Tuesday through Next Week. As stated above, the long awaited strong trough will ride the heels of the exiting low currently spinning off the southern California coast. The slower progression of this first low will have some effect on how the Tuesday system unfolds, both in wind potential and precip potential. First, confidence in the wind magnitude potential has decreased a bit since the last forecast. Overall, the Grand Ensemble and resultant NBM is about 3-4 kts lower than the previous run, and this is likely due to the slower exit of the current low to the east. This complicates the dynamic and hydrostatic effects of the next system as it approaches. Without the first system, this type of evolution would result in pressure falls ahead of a cold front that set up a strong wind belt from the southern Sierra and San Bern Mountains up and into southwest Utah. That is more or less the case, but depressed farther south now, more in alignment with the low to mid level jet streak. At the surface, what would be a more southwest to northeast oriented gradient is now more west to east as a result of the lack of surface pressure rises from our first low, and just lowered further from the next one. Does that mean it won't be windy Tuesday? Absolutely not. But high wind warning level (60+ mph) may be more confined to our high elevations and southeast California now. Also, the post-frontal gradient winds may not be as strong because the gradient is more relaxed due to the interaction of these lows. That being said, this system will begin to enter the HREF domain in the next run, and a bit more clarity should become evident at that time. Thus, other than moving up the start time of the current High Wind Watch, didn't make any changes or upgrades to the watch from the previous forecast. Regarding rain/snow potential, there is still no doubt that snow levels will plummet and low elevation snow will be possible for parts of Lincoln, Clark, and Mohave counties. QPF values overall have not varied much, with a quick shot of snow showers moving over Tuesday as the trough accelerates its deepening and closes off over Utah. The trough axis then shifts east of the Mohave county area by Tuesday night and dry CP air quickly moves in keeping us breezy and below average through the next couple days. Moving into the late week and weekend, brief ridging is still the prevailing GE mean and another Pacific trough is expected to impact the west coast by Friday. && .AVIATION...For Harry Reid...Gusty northeasterly winds will continue through 02Z, when wind gusts will drop off and winds will shift to a more northerly direction. These 8-12 knot sustained northerly winds will continue through 10Z when winds will become light and variable as vicinity showers move through. Cloud bases will lower to around 6- 8 kft with this shower activity and will linger into the morning hours after showers have dissipated. Shower activity will clear out and winds will become southeasterly tomorrow morning around 16Z. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...KHND and KVGT will follow similar trends to KLAS, with gusty northeasterly winds dropping off around 02Z, and winds becoming light and variable as vicinity showers move through. Winds at KBIH will remain northerly through the overnight hours, with sustained speeds around 6-12 knots. Gusty northeasterly winds will continue through the afternoon before dropping off around 02Z at KDAG. 6-12 knot sustained northeasterly winds will become southeasterly as showers move through the vicinity of KDAG beginning around 08Z. KEED and KIFP will favor a northerly direction with 20- 25 knot gusts expected at KIFP. These northerly winds will die down and shift to the south around 02Z before becoming variable around 09Z as vicinity showers move through. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && SHORT TERM...Adair LONG TERM...TB3 AVIATION...Stessman For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: https://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
