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 Dec 22, 9:15 PM PST, 1 hour 27 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- * Widespread rainfall with isolated flash flooding, snow at the high elevations, and gusty winds will impact Christmas travel. * Heavy mountain snow expected in the Sierra and White Mountains amounting to several feet of new accumulation in the highest elevations by the end of the week.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV
915 PM PST Mon Dec 22 2025
.KEY MESSAGES...
* Widespread rainfall with isolated flash flooding, snow at the high
elevations, and gusty winds will impact Christmas travel.
* Heavy mountain snow expected in the Sierra and White Mountains
amounting to several feet of new accumulation in the highest
elevations by the end of the week.
&&
.DISCUSSION...through next Monday.
Midday satellite loop showed lots of cirrostratus streaming
overhead in southwesterly flow aloft. Surface obs show locally
gusty south to southeast winds, with temperatures several degrees
warmer than yesterday where the gusty winds have surfaced.
Water vapor loop showed all the ingredients coming together for the
well-advertised wet period on the way. To the west of the Baja
Peninsula, moisture was streaming northward with a connection all
the way to the intertropical convergence zone. Slightly farther
north, the weakening ongoing atmospheric river was noted from about
26N 134W through northern California. Even farther north, a complex
cold low pressure system with multiple centers of circulation
dominated the Gulf of Alaska and coast of British Columbia. A jet
streak zipping down the back side of this low will force it to dig
farther south, so by Tuesday night we expect to see full-latitude
troughing along 130W with a fire hose of moisture streaming north
into California on its front side. This moisture will advect into
our area Christmas Eve day, with precipitable water values expected
to be over 300 percent of normal and threatening the all time record
for December. The deep moisture plus the forcing from the incoming
trough plus orographics plus very high snow levels (8000 to 10,000
feet on Christmas Eve day) will lead to very high rainfall totals on
the mountains, especially south-facing slopes of the Springs, where
four inches could fall. In most desert areas, rain totals somewhere
in the neighborhood of an inch will be the most likely outcome, with
variance possible on both the higher and lower sides. All of this
supports the ongoing Flood Watch. The unseasonably warm nature of
the pre-frontal air mass will limit accumulating snow to the highest
elevations. The crest of the Sierra will likely see multiple feet,
with a sharp cutoff near the resort level as the precip changes over
to rain. Thus, the ongoing Winter Storm Watch is justified, as a 500
foot change in snow levels could make the difference between
multiple feet of snow and multiple inches of rain at Aspendell on
Christmas Eve day. As cooler air arrives Christmas Eve night, snow
levels will fall below resort level, but the heaviest precip could
already be moving off to the east at that time. On Christmas Day,
the lower snow levels should reach the Spring Mountains, giving the
possibility of a white Christmas at Mount Charleston.
Beyond Christmas, the forecast becomes extremely uncertain. Ensemble
clusters have an abnormally high amount of spread, depicting
solutions ranging from significant snow ending areawide after
Saturday to at least some accumulating snow persisting through
Monday. In short, any details from Friday onward will have to be
ironed out in future forecasts.

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 06Z Forecast Package...Light
winds are expected through the afternoon Tuesday before an uptick in
southerly winds is expected in the evening with sustained speeds of
8-10KT, and low confidence in higher gusts materializing. After
sunset, winds again become light and variable. Increasing mid and
high clouds are expected through the period, with ceilings dropping
to around 10kft by Tuesday afternoon. Some virga may develop in the
afternoon and evening hours but no precipitation is expected to
reach the ground through Tuesday evening.
For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...For the 06Z Forecast Package...Across the region, winds
will generally remain light, following typical terrain-driven and
diurnal directional patterns with some variability. One exception is
the northern Owens Valley, including BIH, where elevated and gusty
up-valley winds will continue through the period, with gusts
diminishing overnight before returning Tuesday morning, increasing
to 30-35kt. The other exception will be the Lower Colorado River
Valley, where both IFP and EED will see up-valley winds around 10-
12kt from Tuesday late morning onward. Increasing mid and high
clouds are expected, with ceilings falling to around 10kft late in
the period. A few light showers and virga may develop late in the
period along the Colorado River Valley with locally gusty winds and
light precipitation possible.
