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 Oct 16, 4:23 AM PDT, 8 hours 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 16, 4:23 AM PDT, 8 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV
423 AM PDT Wed Oct 16 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Another couple days of above-average temperatures before
a pattern change drastically cools the region and introduces chances
of precipitation for our eastern zones. Gusty south-southwest winds
will pick up ahead of the cold front today and Thursday, with gusty
north winds taking over Friday into the weekend. Temperatures will
moderate and winds will calm for the latter half of the weekend
heading into the start of next week.
&&

.SHORT TERM...Today and Thursday.

A longwave trough will drop from the Gulf of Alaska across the
western CONUS today and tomorrow, which will help push a weak closed
low eastward out of Arizona. A shortwave embedded in this longwave
trough will push a weak axis through the southern Great Basin this
afternoon, which will increase southerly winds across the area (25-
35 mph) and bring slight precipitation chances across Esmeralda,
southern Nye, and Lincoln counties. Rain that falls in the southern
Great Basin will be light, as dry low levels will likely evaporate
most, if not all, rain that falls. This shortwave will also result
in a drop in temperatures, leaving today as the last day of the
forecast period with temperatures above 90 degrees for Las Vegas.
South-southwest pre-frontal winds will further increase on Thursday
with gusts between 30 and 40 mph with a brief break in southern
Great Basin precipitation, with Thursday being the final day of the
forecast period with above-average temperatures.

.LONG TERM...Thursday night through next Wednesday.

A cold system currently digging along the British Columbia Coast
will bring a big change to our weather with the primary impacts of
gusty north winds and dramatic cooling Thursday evening through
Friday as it spins into a closed low and dives over southern Nevada
on its way to Arizona. Gusty north winds will likely occur across
much of our forecast area late Thursday evening into Friday
morning with current guidance suggesting widespread gusts of 40-55
mph.

The latest model ensembles now keep the track of the low a little
farther east than 24 hours ago which has reduced precipitation
chances over Clark County especially Friday afternoon through
Saturday. The best potential for showers will still be over
Lincoln/northeast Clark and northern Mohave counties Thursday night
and Friday night as the center of the system and an associated cold
front quickly move overhead. QPF amounts generally 0.25-0.50 inches
are forecast northern/eastern Lincoln and northern Mohave
counties and diminish fairly quickly over Clark and southern
Mohave counties, which is indicated by the 75th and 90th
percentiles. The precipitation type will change over to snow in
Lincoln/Clark County mountains Friday with snow levels lowering
to 5000'-5500', and 6000'-6500' in northern Mohave County. Most
probable snow accumulation outcomes continue to show upwards of
3" on the Wilson Creek Range and White Rock Mountains of northeast
Lincoln County, with an 1" or less for Pioche and the Highway 93
corridor north to White Pine County. Only a dusting expected in
the Spring Mountains. The first freeze of the season for northern
Owens Valley, central Nye, and Lincoln counties looks likely
Thursday night/Friday morning and again Friday night/Saturday
morning. As such, a Freeze Watch has been issued for Thursday
night into Friday morning for these zones.

After that, the low is forecast to circulate over Arizona Friday
night through Saturday night which may brush Mohave County with
chances of showers while the rest of the area remain under cool
northerly breezes, then lift across the Four Corners region into
the Rockies on Sunday leaving our region under dry northwest flow
and temperatures climbing 3-5 degrees. A ridge of high pressure
will build over the region Monday through Wednesday with light
winds and temperatures climbing a few degrees each and returning
to near or slightly above normal.
&&

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...Winds will remain relatively light,
10 knots or less, and will follow typical diurnal directional trends
through the morning hours. Southeasterly winds will pick up this
afternoon with sustained speeds of at least 10 knots and 15 to 20
knot wind gusts expected. These breezier southeasterly winds will
continue into the early evening before decreasing and swinging
around to the southwest.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...Similar to KLAS, KVGT and KHND will see light and
diurnal winds pick up and swing to the south-southeast this
afternoon. These breezier southeasterly winds will drop off during
the evening hours with winds maintaining a southerly direction into
the overnight hours. Winds at KBIH will remain light, following
typical diurnal trends through later this afternoon when winds will
pick up and swing around to the northwest. These breezier
northwesterly winds decrease in magnitude during the evening hours
with winds continuing to maintain a northwesterly direction through
the overnight hours. KDAG will favor a westerly direction with 20 to
25 knot wind gusts picking up later this afternoon. Light southerly
to light and variable winds will continue through the morning hours
for KEED and KIFP with 15 to 20 knot southerly wind gusts picking up
during the afternoon. These breezier winds will continue into the
evening hours when wind gusts will drop off while winds continue to
maintain a more southerly direction.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...South-southwest winds with gusts between 25 and
35 mph across the area today will combine with dry conditions and
cured vegetation to increase fire danger in southern Nevada.
Afternoon relative humidity values will range from 10 to 20% with
overnight recoveries exceeding 45%. As such, a Red Flag Warning is
in effect from 11am to 8pm PDT today. Wind gusts will increase
further on Thursday, though a moisture increase will result in
afternoon RH above 20%.
&&

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report
any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating
procedures.
