  first freeze of the season could kill crops and other sensitive 
  vegetation, and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high 
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

Secure outdoor objects.

Strong winds and rough waves on area lakes will create hazardous 
conditions for small craft.

Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold.

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 27, 12:40 AM PDT, 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 27, 12:40 AM PDT, 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV
1240 AM PDT Sun Oct 27 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Expect one more day of warm and dry conditions today
under high pressure. Low pressure from the Gulf of Alaska will then
bring increased winds, much cooler temperatures, and chances for
rain and mountain snow on Monday and Tuesday. Quieter weather and
below normal temperatures are likely Wednesday through Friday.
&&

.SHORT TERM...through Tuesday night. Midnight satellite loop showed
high clouds from the remnants of Hurricane Kristy blanketing the
region. Surface obs showed light winds and temperatures and
dewpoints within a few degrees of 24 hours ago. The main story is
still the sharp pattern change coming Monday and Tuesday. The high
clouds crossing our area this morning showed the northern periphery
of the stubborn high pressure ridge which has been hanging out over
Sonora for several days, bringing dry and warm weather to the Mojave
Desert. Meanwhile, strong low pressure was clearly visible just off
the coast of British Columbia, with an attendant trough stretching
south to well off the central California coast. The first shortwave
trough will reach our area later today, causing winds to begin
picking up. There could also be enough lift associated with this
wave to wring out some sprinkles/very light showers roughly along
and southeast of I-15 this evening through early Monday morning.
Winds will continue to increase mainly over the higher terrain
through Monday morning, becoming more widespread in the afternoon as
the atmosphere couples. Models still show very high confidence in
advisory-level winds for much of San Bernardino, Clark, and Mohave
counties Monday afternoon through Monday night, so hoisted a Wind
Advisory for these areas. As the main trough axis reaches our area
late Monday, precip chances will increase in areas along and
northwest of I-15, spreading to northern and central Mohave county
Tuesday. Snow levels will crash as cold air pours in, leading to an
inch or two of snow in the higher terrain from the Sierra Nevada
across to Lincoln county, with a dusting possible in the mountains
of Clark county. Speaking of cold air, temperatures will also crash,
with highs Tuesday 15 to 25 degrees colder than Sunday.

.LONG TERM...Wednesday through Saturday.

Period starts out with Nevada/California between systems Wednesday.
Early week trough will be exiting east through the central Rockies
while we turn our attention to upstream trough moving into the Pac
NW. Based the 12Z ensemble solutions, I'd say there is higher than
average confidence that a closed low will develop over the area this
coming weekend. That pattern would maintain below normal
temperatures into the beginning of November. There is more
uncertainty regarding precipitation chances as a more inland
trajectory would tend to be a drier scenario. While, a wetter
solution would need the trough to dig slightly further westward
which would allow the system to tap into moisture off the Pacific.
&&

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...Light winds of 4-8 knots persist
through the morning hours. By mid-afternoon, southwest breezes
develop and continue through the night. Initially these southwest
winds will have gusts of 15-20 knots, but as time progresses,
they'll increase to 20-30 knots. Beyond 06z, the chances of 20+ knot
gusts are over 50%. For clouds, expecting BKN-OVC conditions at
~20kft to last through 12z Monday, with a SCT-BKN deck around 15kft
developing this afternoon and continuing through the night.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...Light and diurnal winds expected across the area
through at least the morning hours. By the afternoon, KDAG and the
Las Vegas Valley sites will see westerly or southwesterly breezes
develop with gusts gradually increasing as time goes on. KVGT is the
most uncertain of these sites, as southwest breezes may retreat just
south of it during the evening. In this case, KVGT would favor an
ESE direction until the SW winds return at some point overnight. At
KBIH and the Colorado River Valley sites, typical diurnal winds with
occasional gusts up to ~15 knots possible this afternoon. In terms
of cloud cover, widespread high clouds throughout the TAF period
with SCT-BKN mid-level clouds developing this afternoon/evening.
KBIH should clear out between 06z-12z Monday.
&&

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

SHORT TERM...Morgan
LONG TERM...Pierce
AVIATION...Woods
