Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV
600 PM PDT Tue Jun 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are
expected each day this week, but chances and coverage decrease each
day. Flash Flood Watch in effect for San Bernardino, Clark, and
Mohave counties today, as stronger storms will have very high rain
rates. In addition to heavy rain, frequent lightning and gusty
erratic winds can be expected this afternoon. The region will
gradually dry out through the remainder of the week as temperatures
climb into the weekend.
&&

.SHORT TERM...Today and Wednesday.

A cut-off low off the southern California coast will push inland and
through our forecast area tonight into Wednesday as it weakens into
an open wave. Meanwhile, remnant anomalous moisture over the region
(250-300% of normal) will couple with clear skies and daytime
heating to increase afternoon instability to over 1000 J/kg of CAPE
across portions of the Mojave Desert. Thunderstorm activity has
already begun over the mountains of our forecast area this
afternoon. Activity will increase in coverage through the day, with
best chances in a line from Ridgecrest through Las Vegas into
central Mohave County. These best chances will then shift southward
through the remainder of the afternoon and evening as the center of
the low begins to push through Sonora, adding additional dynamics to
the atmosphere. These thunderstorms will be very moisture-efficient,
quickly turning our +1 inch of PWAT into heavy rain. As a result, a
Flash Flood Watch has been issued for San Bernardino, Clark, and
Mohave counties through 5am tonight / Wednesday morning. The largest
flash flood concerns will exist on lake beaches, in slot canyons,
and for communities living within concrete washes. In addition to
heavy rain, SPC Mesoanalysis shows very high forecast DCAPE (over
1500 J/kg)) over the next few hours in southern Inyo / northern San
Bernardino counties due to continued dry low levels. While strong
gusty winds from thunderstorms are expected areawide, the greatest
chances for severe-level wind gusts exist in these areas.

This open wave will push into Arizona overnight tonight into
Wednesday, putting us in the top west quadrant of the low. Though
this position of the low won't lend to as great of dynamics in the
Mojave Desert as today, the amount of remnant moisture (200-250% of
normal) combined with daytime heating will return scattered showers
and isolated thunderstorms to much of the forecast area Wednesday
afternoon. Additionally, the resultant northwest flow aloft will
allow for a shortwave trough to push into the southwestern Great
Basin on Wednesday. The associated weak cold front will provide
additional dynamics to the southern Great Basin, returning isolated
thunderstorm chances to that region as well. Will continue to assess
the need for a Flash Flood Watch for portions of our forecast area
tomorrow, with the best chances existing in Mohave County.

.LONG TERM...Thursday through Monday.

General troughing with embedded shortwaves continues across the
Desert Southwest through the remainder of the work week as two areas
of high pressure build around us. This troughing will allow for
continued precipitation chances each afternoon as anomalous moisture
slowly scours out of the region, with chances confining to eastern
Lincoln and dropping below 10 percent by Friday. The ridging
surrounding us will allow heights to rise despite our troughing,
resulting in temperatures climbing through the weekend. Expect
widespread "Moderate" (Level 2 on a scale of 0 to 4) HeatRisk by
Sunday, with "High" HeatRisk in the lowest valleys.
&&

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 00Z Forecast Package...
Thunderstorms will impact the area through early evening, although
gusty outflow winds will be the main concern. Gusty northwest winds
are expected through 03z with occasional gusts to around 30 kts.
After 03z, unless we see additional outflow winds, expect to see
winds settle around 220-240 degrees around 10 kts or less. CIGS are
expected to remain AOA 8k feet, but any storms that do develop in
the valley will drop CIGS to 5k feet or less. Additional convection
is possible Wednesday after 18Z in and around the valley which would
produce similar impacts to today. East to southeast winds will set
up Wednesday afternoon but could again be influenced by convection
and outflows after 21Z.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwestern Arizona and
southeastern California...For the 00Z Forecast Package...Scattered
showers and thunderstorms will persist into this evening with the
highest concentration of storms over San Bernardino, Clark, Mohave,
and Lincoln counties. Erratic wind gusts over 30KT, moderate to
heavy rain, reduced visibility due to heavy rain or blowing dust,
lightning, and CIGS below 10kft. Precipitation will diminish after
03Z, with dry conditions expected across the region by 08Z. After a
dry night, additional showers and thunderstorms should develop after
18Z, mainly in far southern Nevada and western Arizona. Outside of
convective influence, expected south to southwest winds around 10KT
to develop this afternoon across the region, which will diminish
after sunset. Light winds following similar trends will return
Wednesday morning and afternoon.

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