AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV 930 AM PDT THU JUL 6 2006 .SYNOPSIS...A RELATIVELY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL REMAIN OVER EASTERN NEVADA AND WESTERN ARIZONA INTO THE WEEKEND...RESULTING IN SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOUTHWESTERN NEVADA AND MOST OF SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA WILL BE IN DRIER AIR...AND WILL SEE ONLY A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. && .UPDATE...UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE CONTINUES TO TRACK TOWARD MOHAVE COUNTY. SEVERAL DIFFERENT CLUSTERS OF LIGHTENING HAVE OCCURRED NEAR CENTER OF ACTIVITY WITH A FEW SMALLER GROUPS AHEAD OF IT. HAVE ISSUED A NOW FOR ONE GROUP OF STORMS OVER COLORADO CITY. DEW POINTS CONTINUE TO BE HIGH ESPECIALLY NEAR THE CAL-NEV-ARI BORDER WITH TWO PLACES HAVING VALUES OVER 70. AM ISSUING UPDATED GRIDS AND A NEW ZFP TO REFLECT MORE PRECIPITATION IN MOHAVE COUNTY. WILL NEED TO KEEP A VERY CLOSE EYE THERE TO SEE IF A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS NECESSARY. && .SHORT TERM...WATER VAPOR CLEARLY SHOWS MID LEVEL DRYING ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING IN FROM THE PACIFIC. THIS DRYING IS IMPINGING ON OUR WESTERN CWFA AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...IN THE SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW OVER ARIZONA...A MOIST IMPULSE IS ROTATING NORTH TOWARDS OUR EASTERN CWFA. YESTERDAY...THE CALIFORNIA SHORTWAVE WAS EXPECTED TO BRING DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW TO THE NORTHWEST TWO THIRDS OR SO OF OUR AREA. HOWEVER...WITH THE ARIZONA WAVE NOW IN THE PICTURE...THIS FORECAST WILL BE BASED ON THE TWO WAVES ESSENTIALLY BATTLING TO A DRAW. THUS...THUNDERSTORM CHANCES FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WERE PAINTED IN ABOUT THE SAME AREAS WHICH EXPERIENCED STORMS WEDNESDAY. STILL GOING WITH THE IDEA OF REDUCING POPS FROM THE WEST A LITTLE BIT ON FRIDAY...WITH LITTLE ADDITIONAL CHANGE OVER THE WEEKEND...BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH. TEMPERATURES PRETTY CLOSE TO SEASONAL NORMS OVERALL TODAY AND TOMORROW...WITH POINT FORECASTS AGAIN HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. IF THE AFOREMENTIONED DRYING TREND OVER THE WEEKEND ACTUALLY OCCURS...TEMPERATURES WOULD RISE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. .LONG TERM...MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW MOISTURE REMAINING IN PLACE OVER THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS OF THE CWA SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE APPROACHES THE WEST COAST. GFS SHOWS THIS TROUGH TO DEEPEN SLIGHTLY ON TUESDAY AND FINALLY KICK THE LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE EAST. ALTHOUGH I DO THINK THE SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL INCREASE ON TUESDAY...STILL HAVING A HARD TIME BELIEVING THE SHORTWAVE WILL BE AS DEEP AS THE MODELS INDICATE. EXPECT TO SEE A COUPLE DEGREES OF TEMPERATURE DROP...BUT WILL KEEP NUMBERS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY LOOK TO REMAIN DRY OVER THE FORECAST AREA AND HAVE KEPT ALL MENTION OF POPS OUT OF THE ZONES. && .AVIATION...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AFTER 20Z AND AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE PEACH SPRINGS AND MORMON MESA CORRIDORS.
