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 Apr 1, 12:43 PM PDT, 11 hours 40 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 1, 12:43 PM PDT, 11 hours 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 1243 PM PDT Sat Apr 1 2023 .SYNOPSIS...A return to warmer and more seasonable temperatures can be expected over the weekend with mostly clear skies. Winds will begin to ramp up Sunday afternoon and evening ahead of the next weather system set to bring widespread high winds to the region Sunday night into Monday along with much colder temperatures. Breezy conditions will persist into Tuesday with a slow warming trend projected for the remainder of the week. && .SHORT TERM...through Monday. Current satellite and water vapor imagery show a cut-off low moving through southern California along the US-Mexico border, and a shortwave trough moving through Idaho and Montana. The disturbance to our south was responsible for the high clouds over the southern portions of our forecast area earlier this morning, whereas the northern system is responsible for the high cloud cover currently moving through the southern Great Basin region. Outside of these few high clouds, weather today will be quiet. Today's afternoon high temperatures will be 5-10 degrees warmer than Friday's. Saturday's calm weather will come to an end on Sunday as we see winds begin to pick up across the region as an incoming system approaches. While gusty winds can be inconvenient, the mixing resulting from these winds as the system approaches will be a blessing in disguise for those of you who are tired of below average temperatures, because it will allow for temperatures warm an additional 5 degrees from Saturday into Sunday. However, these warm temperatures will vanish faster than they appeared as we drop 10-20 degrees from Sunday into Monday. Westerly/southwesterly winds will begin to pick up tomorrow afternoon in the eastern Sierra slopes and in the southwesterly wind belt extending across the Mojave Desert through southern Nevada into northwestern Arizona. By early tomorrow evening widespread 45-55 mph gusts are expected in the aforementioned regions, with the potential for 55+ mph gusts in the western Mojave Desert zones and Eastern Sierra. Additionally, there will be the potential for downslope winds in the Eastern Sierra, Owens Valley, Spring Mountains, and western portions of the Las Vegas Valley tomorrow evening. These downslope winds will make for hazardous cross winds on north-south oriented roads, especially Highway 395 between Independence and Olancha in the Owens Valley. Previously the High Wind Watch for the Eastern Sierra and Owens Valley was to go into effect at 7:00 AM PDT on Monday; however, due to the threat of downslope winds, the start time has been moved up to 8:00 pm PDT Sunday. By early Monday morning, widespread 45-55 mph southwesterly winds will have spread to the southern and eastern portions of the forecast area, with gusty northwesterly winds picking up in Esmeralda and south-central Nye counties as the trough axis swings through. These gusty winds will continue through Monday evening for the entirety of the forecast area. Outside of gusty winds and a sharp drop in temperatures, this system will also bring increased precipitation chances for the mountainous regions of Inyo County, the southern Great Basin, and the Northwest Plateau. Precipitation impacts will be mainly limited to elevations above 5,000 feet in Lincoln County, with the heaviest precipitation occurring in the eastern panhandle. Higher end estimates have 4-8" of snow falling this area. Elsewhere, a dusting to minor accumulations (<2") will be possible. .LONG TERM...Tuesday through Friday. By Tuesday, the system responsible for Monday's unsettled weather will have cleared out of the Intermountain West and into the Plains, leaving a broad area of lower heights and general troughiness in its wake. These lower heights and lingering northwesterly breezes will keep temperatures well below normal on Tuesday. 500 mb heights and surface temperatures will begin rising on Wednesday as ridging attempts to build in over the coast of British Columbia. This ridge will gradually become more pronounced and move inland, allowing for temperatures to continue to warm up through the latter half of the week and into the weekend. This warming trend is consistent with the 8-14 Day Temperature Outlook produced by the Climate Prediction Center, as well as the 8-10 Day 500 mb Height Cluster Analysis. && .AVIATION...For Harry Reid...East to southeast wind with speeds 8 knots or less will continue into late afternoon before winds increase 8-12 kts from the south to southwest. Those south-southwest winds will continue through most of the evening and overnight hours. Winds will increase Sunday afternoon from the south with gusts approaching 30 knots. A period of even stronger winds will occur Sunday night-Monday morning where there is about a 30% chance of wind gusts reaching 50 knots. No significant clouds are expected. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...Another deep, cold area of low pressure will move into the Pacific Northwest Sunday. Typical elevated belt of stronger south to southwest winds will develop across the Mojave Desert and southern Great Basin Sunday afternoon. Also, strong winds over the southern Sierra will create an area of enhanced turbulence. Northwesterly surface wind favored at KBIH most of the period, increasing Sunday afternoon with gusts approaching 30 kts. At KDAG, there is about a 50% chance that wind gusts will exceed 40 knots Sunday afternoon. Southerly winds increase up the lower Colorado River Valley Sunday afternoon with KEED and KIFP having gusts approaching 30 kts. No significant clouds are expected. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && DISCUSSION...Stessman AVIATION...Pierce For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: https://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
