AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
1016 AM PST SAT JAN 21 2012
.SYNOPSIS...A PACIFIC STORM WILL MOVE ACROSS NEVADA TODAY RESULTING
IN LOCALLY STRONG WINDS AND A CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW OVER MUCH OF
THE REGION WITH HEAVY SNOW IN THE SIERRA. GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY BEFORE ANOTHER STORM IMPACTS THE
AREA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS THEN
EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF NEXT WEEK.
&&
.UPDATE...WARM MOIST CONVEYOR THAT CAME ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS NOW OVER FAR SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND WESTERN
ARIZONA. BAND IS RAPIDLY MOVING EAST AS MODELS DEPICT 110-130 KT JET
OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA. MEANWHILE...MUCH
COLDER/UNSTABLE AIR WILL BE PUSHING EAST ACROSS INYO...NYE AND
LINCOLN COUNTIES FOR MUCH OF THE REST OF TODAY ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER
TROUGH.
AS FAR AS HEADLINES GOES. SO FAR STRONG WIND GUSTS HAVE BEEN VERY
ISOLATED. BELIEVE THAT IS ABOUT TO CHANGE AS VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWS
LARGE AREA OF CLEARING OVER DEATH VALLEY NP AND SOUTHEAST INYO
COUNTY. JUST WITHIN THE PAST HOUR GETTING REPORTS OF WIND GUSTS IN
EXCESS OF 50 MPH AT PAHRUMP AND 60 MPH AT DESERT ROCK AIRPORT NEAR
HIGHWAY 95. A GUST TO 61 MPH IN RED ROCK CANYON JUST CAME IN AS
WELL. IN THE UPDATE WILL BE UPGRADING NV ZONE 17 AND CA ZONE 525
INTO A HIGH WIND WARNING AND WILL BE ADDING THE THE MENTION OF
BLOWING DUST/SAND DUE TO OUR RECENT DRY SPELL.
IN REGARD TO THE WINTER WEATHER PRODUCTS. CONVECTIVE BANDS
DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF LINCOLN COUNTY AS I WRITE. COLD
AIR NOW JUST ARRIVING WITH ANY SNOW LIKELY FALLING ON THE HIGHEST
PEAKS OF NORTHERN LINCOLN COUNTY. GETTING SOME LIGHTING STRIKES OVER
CENTRAL NYE COUNTY SO WILL INCLUDE THE MENTION OF THUNDERSNOW UP
THERE THE REST OF THE DAY AS WELL. IN LINCOLN COUNTY...THE SNOW
LEVEL WILL BE FALLING TO 5000 FEET BY LATE AFTERNOON WITH SNOW
AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES MOST LIKELY FALLING ABOVE 6000 FEET.
&&
.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY IN
THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY SHOULD END AROUND 21Z TODAY. CIGS AS LOW AS
5K-8K FEET ARE LIKELY THROUGH THEN BUT AFTERWARDS CLOUDS SHOULD
BREAK UP MORE AND BECOME SCT TO EVENTUALLY FEW. THE PRIMARY HAZARD
LATE THIS MORNING INTO EARLY THIS EVENING WILL BE STRONG SOUTHWEST
WINDS THAT SHOULD REACH AS HIGH AS 30-35 KTS SUSTAINED WITH GUSTS OF
40-45 KTS. THERE IS A VERY SMALL CHANCE WE COULD REACH AIRPORT
WEATHER WARNING CRITERIA FOR WIND BUT AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS WE
SHOULD FALL JUST SHORT. MECHANICAL TURBULENCE WILL BE LIKELY DUE TO
THE STRONG WINDS ALOFT. BLOWING DUST MAY ALSO OCCUR AND REDUCE VSBY
ABRUPTLY. WINDS SHOULD SHIFT MORE WEST AROUND 01Z SUNDAY...THEN TURN
TO NORTHWEST AROUND 03Z SUNDAY WITH SPEEDS LOWERING TO 12-18 KTS
SUSTAINED. AROUND 08Z SUNDAY...SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS SHOULD
RELAX ENOUGH THAT WINDS MAY FAVOR A RETURN TO TYPICAL SOUTHWEST
NIGHTTIME DRAINAGE WINDS BUT GIVEN THE LOW CONFIDENCE IN A DIRECTION
WILL JUST GO WITH VARIABLE DIRECTION IN THE TAF FOR THEN.
FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...MOST VALLEYS SHOULD SEE AN END TO SHOWERS AROUND 21Z
TODAY HOWEVER STEADIER PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE OVER THE HIGHER
MOUNTAINS OF LINCOLN AND MOHAVE COUNTIES AS WELL AS THE EASTERN
SLOPES OF THE SOUTHERN SIERRA THROUGH AROUND 00Z SUNDAY. CIGS AS LOW
AS 4K-8K FEET IN THE VALLEYS WITH MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE
EXPECTED...THOUGH CLOUDS SHOULD BECOME MORE SCATTERED OVER THE
VALLEYS BY THIS AFTERNOON AS DRIER AIR WORKS IN. THE PRIMARY HAZARD
LATE THIS MORNING INTO EARLY THIS EVENING WILL BE GUSTY SOUTHWEST
WINDS SUSTAINED AT 25-45 KTS WITH GUSTS OF 35-55 KTS AND LOCAL GUSTS
AROUND 65 KTS. AREAS OF BLDU REDUCING VSBY ARE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY
DOWNWIND OF DRY LAKE BEDS. MECHANICAL TURBULENCE IS LIKELY DUE TO
THE STRONG WINDS ALOFT. MOUNTAIN WAVES WILL BE POSSIBLE TO THE LEE
OF TALLER MOUNTAINS. WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO LESSEN BETWEEN 01Z AND
06Z SUNDAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA AND SHIFTS WINDS TO
THE NORTHWEST. WINDS TONIGHT WILL MAINLY BE 5-10 KTS.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
250 AM PST SAT JAN 21 2012
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...A PACIFIC STORM PUSHING
ACROSS NORTHERN/CENTRAL CALIFORNIA THIS MORNING WILL RAPIDLY PUSH
ACROSS NEVADA DURING THE DAY TODAY. THIS IS BASICALLY THE FIRST
STORM THIS WINTER TO BRING A MENTION OF PRECIPITATION TO ALL OF THE
FORECAST AREA. THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON PRECIPITATION WILL BE OVER THE
SOUTHERN SIERRA THIS MORNING AND THEN ACROSS LINCOLN COUNTY BY LATE
MORNING INTO THIS AFTERNOON. CURRENT WINTER STORM WARNINGS...
SOUTHERN SIERRA...AND WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR LINCOLN COUNTY
LOOK GOOD. SYSTEM TO PUSH EAST OF THE CWA TONIGHT WITH DRY
CONDITIONS PUSHING OVER THE AREA OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY.
HOWEVER THE NEXT PACIFIC STORM WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE SYSTEM CROSSING OVER THE AREA ON
MONDAY. ONCE AGAIN THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION
TO THE AREA WITH THE MAIN CONCERN ONCE AGAIN BEING THE SOUTHERN
SIERRA AS WELL AS THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN NEVADA AND NORTHWEST
MOHAVE COUNTY...MAINLY ON MONDAY. DRYING WILL BE SEEN MONDAY NIGHT
AS THE SYSTEM EXITS THE REGION.
BESIDES THE PRECIPITATION...THE NEXT MAJOR CONCERN WILL BE WINDS.
INCREASED SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS/FLOW ALOFT/ALONG WITH LOCALIZED
DOWNSLOPE WINDS FORMING EARLY THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON WILL
MAKE FOR A WINDY DAY ACROSS THE AREA. THE HIGH WIND WARNINGS FOR
WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY AS WELL AS THE SPRING MOUNTAINS/LAS
VEGAS VALLEY FOR THE DAY ARE STILL IN AFFECT...WHILE WIND ADVISORIES
ARE IN PLACE FOR MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA. AS THE TROUGH
SHIFTS OVER THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY THIS EVENING...EXPECT
WINDS TO DECREASE FAIRLY RAPIDLY. DO NOT EXPECT AS MUCH WIND WITH
THE SYSTEM FOR LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...BUT LOCALLY BREEZY TO WINDY
CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY BE SEEN ONCE AGAIN.
WITH THE TROUGH PASSAGE/CLOUDS/SHOWERS TODAY LOOK FOR TEMPERATURES
TO COOL OVER THOSE REPORTED ON SATURDAY WITH LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED
OVER THE NORTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY...WHILE THE SOUTHERN PORTION SHOULD
SEE A FEW ADDITIONAL DEGREES OF COOLING. WITH THIS SAID HOWEVER...
TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY BE AROUND NORMAL THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.
.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...THE SYSTEM FROM MONDAY WILL
HAVE CROSSED THE AREA BY TUESDAY MORNING LEAVING BEHIND A SMALL
AMOUNT OF RESIDUAL MOISTURE. LEFT IN REDUCED POPS FOR LINCOLN
COUNTY. WITH RIDGING BUILDING IN EXPECT THE CLOUD COVER TO DECREASE
AND TEMPERATURES TO RISE ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES.
ONLY PARAMETER OF NOTE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY NORTH WINDS IN THE
LOWER COLORADO RIVER VALLEY TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.
