Area forecast discussion, Jan 6, 9:02 PM PST, 2 hours 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 902 PM PST Tue Jan 6 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... * Unsettled weather pattern persists with light precipitation chances returning by Wednesday morning. * A more substantial disturbance brings low elevation rain, mountain snow, and gusty winds on Wednesday night and Thursday. * Cooler temperatures arrive late this week, gradually warming into next week as quieter conditions return. && .DISCUSSION...through early next week. An upper level low, currently off the coast of California, will track south then east along the U.S.-Mexico border tonight and tomorrow. The position of the low is too far south for widespread precipitation across most of the forecast area. However, there should be sufficient moisture and lift for light showers south of Interstate 40 in San Bernardino county as well as southern Mohave County, especially along high terrain. Rainfall probabilities in these areas are in the 15 to 30 percent range. As this first disturbance exits the area on Wednesday night, another shortwave will move through on Thursday from the northwest, dragging a surface cold front along with it. The inland track of this feature means precipitation should also be light and confined to southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona. Colder temperatures behind the front will lower snow levels to around 5000 feet, but given the lack of moisture, snow totals should be just a few inches and limited to the highest peaks of southern Nevada. Also of interest is an increase in westerly winds ahead of the front on Wednesday night into Thursday, particularly in the western Mojave Desert. The NBM currently has a 30 to 50 percent probability of gusts over 40 mph in these areas. Would like to have more confidence in extent and intensity before deciding on whether a wind headline would be necessary. Cool and dry air will filter in behind the front, bringing temperatures to around 5 to 10 degrees below average by Friday. Lows on Saturday morning could be the coldest seen so far this season, including temperatures in the low to mid 30s in the Las Vegas area. Afterwards, temperatures should gradually climb through the beginning of next week as high pressure builds over the southwestern United States. Gusty northerly winds will increase in the Colorado River Valley as well, initially due to a sharp pressure gradient behind the front, and later due to northwesterly flow over the region. The strongest of these will occur between Laughlin and Needles, including a 65 percent probability of gusts reaching 40 mph on Friday. && .AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 06Z Forecast Package...Light winds under 8KT will continue overnight and Wednesday. Winds will follow typical directional patterns, favoring the southwest in the evening and overnights then the east in the afternoon. There is a low chance for elevated west to southwest winds at 8-10KT Wednesday evening, but most likely winds will remain at or below 8KT. VFR conditions are expected through the period, with a brief period of SCT-BKN clouds around 5000-8000ft possible Wednesday morning. Otherwise, CIGs should remain at or above 10kft. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...For the 06Z Forecast Package...Light winds will follow typical diurnal patterns throughout the TAF period. FEW-SCT clouds between 5000-8000ft will potentially becoming BKN at times on Wednesday, especially in the morning. Otherwise, clouds should remain above 10kft. There is a low chance for isolated showers around the Colorado River Valley Wednesday after 18Z, which would increase the risk for CIGs at 5000-8000ft if this precipitation does develop. Any showers that develop will diminish around 00Z and CIGs should lift if they drop in the afternoon. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && DISCUSSION...Meltzer AVIATION...Nickerson For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: https://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
