Area forecast discussion, Nov 17, 1:50 PM PST, 12 hours 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 150 PM PST Fri Nov 17 2023 .SYNOPSIS...Showers will move in late tonight and continue through Saturday afternoon before tapering off Saturday evening. Gusty north winds will develop Sunday and Monday as a trough moves through the region. && .SHORT TERM...Today through Sunday. A beautiful fall day across the region today but as we head into tonight, we will start to see clouds filling back in and chances for rain redeveloping. Most of the clouds won't really arrive until late tonight into early Saturday, all in response to the low spinning off the CA coast pushing inland. As the low progresses to the east, it will start to weaken and become more of a long wave trough. How does this change the impacts we will see from it? The answer is really not much change. There really is no big change in the forecast other than to shift the starts times a smidge later than previously forecast. The other change is that there may be less widespread coverage and a more scattered nature to the showers overnight into early Saturday as model guidance continues to come in drier with each subsequent run. An on again and off again type of event is expected with the majority of the shower activity over the Sierras. A band of tropical moisture looks to get swept up from the Baja area and should move through Mohave county. In addition to this moisture, there is some limited instability and lift which should allow for a few rumbles of thunder to occur. Any thunder activity looks to be fairly isolated through tonight and into early Saturday with the best chances later Saturday morning into the early Saturday afternoon. Not expecting any appreciable rainfall amounts with the highest totals of around a tenth of an inch or two of liquid, mainly across portions of Mohave county. The axis of the trough passes off to the east on Saturday afternoon, at which point the chances for showers will start to drop off. By Saturday night, things are looking pretty dry with only some isolated chances remaining. The trough is mostly to the east of the region on Sunday but a secondary wave will dig down the backside of the trough, dipping it further south. This will tighten the pressure gradient and result in gusty northerly winds on Sunday. Winds will continue to increase through Sunday night into Monday as the pressure gradient continues to tighten up. Most of the moisture will have cleared the region by early Sunday though a few showers will be possible, mainly across eastern Lincoln, northeastern Clark, and northern Mohave counties with those chances dwindling by Sunday afternoon. .LONG TERM...Monday through next Friday. The trough axis finally clears the region on Monday though the strong winds will continue through the day on Monday, especially in the Colorado River Valley. Gusts in the 30 to 40 mph seem likely. Ridging will then push in from the west for Tuesday and Wednesday, keeping things dry. Another trough will drop down through the Great Basin just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. At this point in time, there is pretty limited moisture so showers don't seem all that likely. Winds will increase with the tightening gradient so might be a bit breezy during any potential holiday travel. && .AVIATION...For Harry Reid...Winds will remain light under 10kts and will favor typical diurnal directional trends. CIGS will be the primary concern for the 00Z TAF period, with the potential for CIGS aob 8 kft tonight into early Saturday morning. Current guidance suggests a 10 to 15% chance of CIGS between 6-10k feet beginning around 08/09 UTC Saturday. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...Winds in the Las Vegas Valley and in the Colorado River Valley will remain light under 10kts through tonight. At KBIH, southeast winds 15-20kts with gusts around 25kts through the afternoon then decreasing in the evening and east winds 10-15kts at KDAG until around sunset then decreasing. Winds are expected to increase at KDAG and the Las Vegas Valley TAF sites Saturday afternoon. CIGS at all TAF sites will continue to be SCT-BKN around 5k feet this afternoon with increasing clouds and lowering cloud decks below 10k feet later tonight into Saturday. && DISCUSSION...Meola AVIATION...Salmen For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: https://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
