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 Mar 30, 8:20 AM PDT, 1 hour 41 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 30, 8:20 AM PDT, 1 hour 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 820 AM PDT Sun Mar 30 2025 .SYNOPSIS...Active spring weather pattern expected for the week ahead with a potent storm system bringing strong and gusty winds to the region early in the week followed by cooler and unsettled conditions for the remainder of the week. Precipitation chances will mainly be limited to the Sierra and southern Great Basin, with any rain or snowfall expected to be quite light. && .UPDATE...Fast moving shortwave embedded within a broad and active Pacific flow pattern is pushing into southern Utah this morning. This shortwave has brought some elevated winds to the region this morning along with a veil of mid and high clouds which will shift eastward though the morning hours. While skies will clear through the early afternoon, a renewed batch of high clouds will spread in from the west by this evening. Meanwhile, gusty winds today will be strongest in the Western Mojave Desert where a wind advisory is now in effect, but breezy west winds can be expected area wide. Flow aloft will increase overnight tonight and pockets of downslope winds will begin to develop as early as midnight in some parts of southern Nevada and eastern California. Will be taking a closer look at ongoing wind headlines and potential for upgrades today with the afternoon package. Early indications continue to look favorable for strong downslope winds, particularly in the Owens Valley and Las Vegas Valley areas. The current forecast is in good shape with no pressing update needed. -Outler- && .SHORT TERM...Today and Tomorrow. The crest of the Eastern Sierra will see a 20 to 30% chance of showers this morning as a disturbance embedded in the relatively zonal flow aloft moves through the area. As this disturbance pushes into the area, we will see a 40 knot 700 mb jet begin to push into the western Mojave Desert. As this jet sets up over the western Mojave Desert, we will see 40 to 50 mph wind gusts pick up from the west. These gusty winds will continue through the afternoon and into the evening hours, decreasing slightly during the overnight hours. A more robust low pressure system will begin to approach the Pacific Northwest on Monday. As this system approaches, we will see an increasing pressure gradient across the area, resulting in widespread 40 to 55 mph southwesterly wind gusts from the eastern Sierra across Mojave Desert into northwestern Arizona. As such, there are multiple wind headlines that will go into effect on Monday. The biggest area of uncertainty on Monday will be just how strong winds will get across Inyo County and into southern Nevada. Models show a 40 to 60 knot 700 mb jet setting up across east- central California, southern Nevada, and northwest Arizona on Monday. With an orientation nearly perpendicular to the Eastern Sierra and Spring Mountains, strong downslope winds in the Las Vegas and Owens Valley are a concern. Given the downslope potential and resulting uncertainty regarding the magnitude of winds, the High Wind Watch for most of Inyo County, the Las Vegas Valley, Spring Mountains, northwest Clark County, and south-central Nye County has not been upgraded to either a Wind Advisory (40 to 57 mph wind gusts) or a High Wind Warning (58+ mph wind gusts) at this time. Outside of strong winds, this system will also bring a 25 to 50% chance of showers to the Eastern Sierra and a 15 to 30% chance of showers to the south-central Great Basin. The Sierra will intercept most of the incoming moisture, with storm totals of a few hundredths to a tenth of precipitation possible in the higher terrain of Esmeralda, Nye, and Lincoln counties. Aspendell will have the potential to see up to 4 inches of snow through Monday with locally higher totals expected in the Sierra crest. Today and tomorrow will be the last days with seasonal temperatures for a while as this system will cool us down beginning on Tuesday. .LONG TERM...Tuesday through Saturday. Once the leading edge of the trough pushes through on Tuesday, the risk for impactful winds shifts to western and southern San Bernardino County. Places like Barstow and Twentynine Palms have over a 75% chance of seeing 40+ mph gusts, whereas the rest of the CWA has generally 50% or less odds. With the trough now firmly over our region at this point, a cooler airmass will take hold. Forecast highs on Tuesday are some 8-12 degrees cooler than Monday's, and around 10 degrees below normal for early April. Ensemble guidance shows the trough lingering over our area as it gets reinforced with additional shortwaves coming out of the PacNW. This will keep temperatures below normal and promote continued breezy conditions. However, the persistent troughing will limit the strength of surface pressure gradients and thus winds. Both raw and bias-corrected probabilistic guidance show low to moderate (20- 50%) probabilities of 40+ mph gusts across the CWA, with the higher percentages in western/southern San Bernardino County. Precipitation-wise, still not looking very promising. Best chances (10-30%) continue to be in the Sierra and southern Great Basin Tuesday through Thursday. Late in the week, ensemble guidance seem to be coming into better agreement on the trough's evolution, having it wrap up into a closed low. Where exactly the center of the low sets up and how much moisture can get pulled in underneath the cold air aloft will dictate precipitation chances during this time. Any precipitation that does develop will likely be showery and more isolated in nature, generally favoring the higher terrain. && .AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 12Z Forecast Package...Southwesterly winds will ramp up this morning with gusts of 20 knots or greater increasing to over 25 knots in the afternoon and 30 knots late overnight. These winds are expected to persist into tomorrow morning, but occasional lulls in gust intensity may occur. Mid and high clouds with bases at or above 12kft pass through the area throughout the forecast period. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...For the 12Z Forecast Package...Southwesterly winds with gusts of 20 to 30 mph are expected in the Las Vegas Valley through the TAF period. This also includes a period of lighter northwesterly winds of less than 10 knots late this morning at KVGT. Likewise, westerly winds persist at KDAG, intensifying later this morning with gusts in excess of 35 knots. Confidence is lower in the timing and intensity of gusts along the Colorado River Valley. For KEED, westerly winds with gusts over 20 knots develop later this morning. These should decrease overnight and eventually shift to the southeast early tomorrow morning. A similar pattern is forecast for KIFP, although the winds should decrease and shift south earlier in the evening. Lastly, at KBIH, a push of westerly winds arrives this afternoon and decreases in the evening. The timing of the shift to the northeast and eventually the southeast is low confidence. Mid and high clouds with bases at or above 12kft pass through the area throughout the forecast period. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && SHORT TERM...Stessman LONG TERM...Woods AVIATION...Meltzer For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: https://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
