Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 1051 AM PDT Sun Oct 12 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... * Precipitation chances and gusty winds return Monday and Tuesday onward as a more traditional cool-season, Pacific system approaches. * A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for the Eastern Sierra late Monday afternoon into early Wednesday. && .DISCUSSION...through Friday. For the first time in several days, we will see dry conditions across the region as a Pacific trough swings through the region. Along with the dry conditions we will see high temperatures drop about 7 to 10 degrees from Saturday's highs. The next Pacific trough that will impact the area is currently situated off the southwest Canada coast. This trough will quickly develop into a closed low and dig down the West Coast over the next couple of days. As this occurs, it will pick up plenty of Pacific moisture and bring plenty of precipitation to the Pacific Northwest Monday and into central California by Monday evening. Precipitation chances will increase across the southern Sierra Monday afternoon and begin to spill over into the eastern slopes Monday evening. How much snow is still in question, but NBM probabilities of 8-12" in Aspendell are around 60-80%. For this reason, have gone ahead and issued a Winter Storm Watch for the eastern Sierra from late Monday afternoon through early Wednesday morning. This system will also be relatively cold, so snow levels are expected to drop to around 7000 feet. Current thinking is 1-2 feet of snow between 7000-9000 feet and upwards of 2 feet or greater near the Sierra crest. Another concern we have would be how much precipitation will be rainshadowed by the Sierra as this system moves in. It looks like the flow will be more favorable for this spillover to occur and rain is expected to spread into the Owens Valley by Tuesday morning and across Esmeralda, central Nye, and northern Lincoln counties by Wednesday morning. Areas to the south will remain dry, but gusty southwest winds are likely with the potential for impactful wind gusts over 40 MPH in parts of the Southern Great Basin Monday and Tuesday. As the system moves inland, winds will decrease the rest of the week as the low center moves over. Temperatures will remain well below normal through the period, with the coldest temperatures expected Tuesday night through Wednesday night. A Freeze Watch may be needed for the Owens Valley Monday night, if not definitely Tuesday night as ensembles probabilities show increasing chances for low temperatures below 32F at Bishop and the valley areas. && .AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 18Z Forecast Package...Northerly wind gusts have largely diminished, though an errant gust to around 12KT cannot be ruled out within the next 2 hours. Winds will start off somewhat variable between 350-020 true, before settling out of the northeast and becoming light by early afternoon. Thereafter, winds remain light through tonight, settling out of the southwest after sunset. Southwesterly winds will then persist, increasing and becoming gusty by late morning, with gusts to 20-25KT expected through the afternoon. VFR conditions prevail, with increasing mid and high clouds tonight through Monday. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...For the 18Z Forecast Package...Northerly to northeasterly winds will be the rule through late afternoon across the area, with northerly gusts gradually diminishing over the next few hours. The strongest gusts to around 25KT will continue through the Colorado River Valley and northwestern Arizona this afternoon, with light winds expected areawide this evening and tonight. Winds are expected to shift to the southwest late in the period and begin increasing, with stronger westerly winds expected across the western Mojave Desert, including at KDAG. The exception to these trends will be KBIH in the Owens Valley, where light diurnal winds continue. VFR conditions prevail areawide, with FEW-SCT clouds between 15-25kft this evening onward. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && DISCUSSION...Gorelow AVIATION...Phillipson For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: https://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
