NWS Las Vegas, NV wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 2, 8:10 AM PST, 6 hours earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV 910 AM PDT TUE JUN 2 2009 .SYNOPSIS...A PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST WILL BRING DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHERN NEVADA TODAY AND WEDNESDAY...DIMINISHING THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR MOST AREAS EXCEPT THE SOUTHERN SIERRA. AS THE SYSTEM GRADUALLY MOVES INLAND...INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP ALONG WITH A COOLING TREND WHICH WILL DROP HIGH TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL BY THE END OF THE WEEK. && .UPDATE...CURRENT SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A DRY SWATH OF AIR MOVING OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA TODAY. PROGGED LIFTED INDEX VALUES FOR THIS AFTERNOON INDICATE SOMEWHAT STABLE CONDITIONS OVER LINCOLN AND SOUTHERN NYE COUNTIES. COUPLE THIS WITH THE DRY AIR AND CHANCE OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION IS GREATLY REDUCED. HAVE UPDATED THE GRIDS TO REFLECT THIS CHANGE. REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST LOOKS TO BE ON TRACK. -LABELLE- && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...410 AM JUNE 2 2009...THE MAIN IMPACT WITH THE UPPER LOW NEAR THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY WILL BE CONTINUED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SOUTHERN SIERRA AND BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REST OF THE REGION. A DRYING TREND IN SOUTHWEST FLOW WAS EVIDENT FROM RECENT SATELLITE LOOPS AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS ACROSS THE MOJAVE DESERT AND SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN. MODELS ARE IN GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT WITH KEEPING THE LOW CENTER OFF THE COAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY THEN SLOWLY MOVING IT INLAND THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THIS WILL KEEP SOME MOISTURE...INSTABILITY AND DYNAMIC SUPPORT FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SOUTHERN SIERRA AS DISTURBANCES EJECT OUT OF THE LOW. KEPT A MENTION OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS NEAR CENTRAL NEVADA TODAY AND WEDNESDAY THOUGH CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH THAT THERE WILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. WINDS GENERALLY LOOK BREEZY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE REGION WHILE FAVORABLE AREAS CENTRAL NYE COUNTY AND THE OWENS VALLEY COULD SEE GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 MPH...ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL LOWER A FEW DEGREES EACH DAY AS THE INFLUENCE OF THE LOW GRADUALLY MOVES INLAND. && .LONG TERM...MODELS STILL SEEM TO BE GOING THROUGH RUN TO RUN ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE EXACT TIMING ON THE OFFSHORE UPPER LOW BUT OVERALL THERE IS DECENT AGREEMENT THAT THE LOW SHOULD MOVE INTO CENTRAL CALIFORNIA FRIDAY MORNING. AHEAD OF THE LOW SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS TIGHTEN UP AND A 90 KT+ JET AT 250 MB MOVES ACROSS SOCAL. ALTHOUGH THE CORE OF STRONGEST WINDS ALOFT WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CWFA...MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW WELL-ALIGNED SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS ACROSS ALL OF THE MOJAVE DESERT INTO NYE AND LINCOLN COUNTIES FRIDAY MORNING INTO THE EVENING. EXPECT FRIDAY WILL BE A WINDY DAY ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA WITH GUSTS OF 30-40 MPH. WHILE DRY AND STABLE AIR WILL EXIST OVER THE MOJAVE DESERT...THIS WILL NOT BE THE CASE FURTHER NORTH WHERE GREATER MID-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL EXIST ACROSS THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE CWFA AND INSTABILITY WILL BE BETTER DUE TO THE PROXIMITY TO THE COLD POOL ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW. AS A RESULT...EXPECT SCT THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP HERE ESPECIALLY BY THE AFTERNOON WITH GUSTY WINDS THE MAIN THREAT. AS THE LOW APPROACHES AND TEMPS ALOFT COOL...SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP TO AROUND 8500 FEET OVER INYO COUNTY AND THE HIGHEST PEAKS OF THE SIERRA AND WHITE MOUNTAINS COULD SEE A LITTLE SNOW FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. BY SATURDAY THE UPPER LOW APPEARS TO BREAK INTO TWO PIECES...ONE WHICH EJECTS NORTHEAST ACROSS NEVADA WHILE A SECOND PIECE GETS HUNG BACK ACROSS CALIFORNIA NEAR BAKERSFIELD. THIS WILL KEEP THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS AROUND ACROSS AREAS NORTH OF I-15 ON SATURDAY. WITH THE LOW NEARBY AND TEMPS ALOFT COOLING HIGH TEMPS WILL ACTUALLY DROP A FEW DEGREES FROM FRIDAY. SOUTH OF I-15 IT LOOKS LIKE LITTLE IF ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY DEVELOPS AS PLENTY OF DRY AND STABLE AIR EXISTS. THE SECOND LOW FINALLY EJECTS NORTHEAST TOWARDS UTAH ON SUNDAY MORNING AND BEHIND IT A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT TAKES OVER. LINGERING MID-LEVEL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE AREA MAY STILL TRIGGER ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS...OTHERWISE IT SHOULD BE DRY WITH TEMPS AT OR A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS IS A RELATIVELY DRY FLOW AND IT LOOKS LIKE BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON THE MID-LEVELS DRY OUT ENOUGH TO LIMIT POPS TO GHOST LEVELS. TEMPS WILL GRADUALLY RISE BACK UP RETURNING TO AROUND OR A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL WITH SUNSHINE BECOMING MORE PLENTIFUL. && .AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE AROUND 21Z TUESDAY WITH GUSTS OF 20-25 KTS AND THEN LESSEN AFTER 04Z WEDNESDAY. FEW-SCT CLOUDS AOA 15K FEET. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN THE BEATTY...MORMON MESA AND PEACH SPRINGS APPROACH CORRIDORS. FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE BETWEEN 19Z AND 21Z TUESDAY WITH GUSTS OF 20-30 KTS AND THEN LESSEN AFTER 04Z WEDNESDAY. THE BEST CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL BE OVER THE SIERRA NEVADA AND WHITE MOUNTAINS WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ELSEWHERE IN THE GREAT BASIN AND NORTHERN MOHAVE COUNTY. OUTFLOW FROM STORMS COULD CAUSE GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS. && .VEF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NV...NONE. AZ...NONE. CA...NONE. && ADAIR/STACHELSKI HTTP://WEATHER.GOV/LASVEGAS
