AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
307 PM PDT THU JUL 12 2012
.SYNOPSIS...A SIGNIFICANT INFLUX OF MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN THE
POSSIBILITY OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
SATURDAY. SOME STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL IN
A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME LEADING TO THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING.
IN ADDITION...GUSTY WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN AND NEAR
THUNDERSTORMS. THE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE
FROM WEST TO EAST SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AS DRIER AIR BEGINS TO
SPREAD EAST ACROSS THE AREA. CLOUDS WILL HOLD DOWN TEMPERATURES
ESPECIALLY ON FRIDAY BUT READINGS SHOULD REBOUND BACK CLOSER TO
NORMAL AS MORE SUNSHINE RETURNS EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.SHORT TERM...MOISTURE INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY ACROSS THE AREA
OVERNIGHT AND THIS WILL BE THE MAIN DRIVER OF THE FORECAST OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS. THE 12Z SOUNDING FROM OUR OFFICE HAS A PWAT OF 1.09
INCH AND MDCARS SOUNDINGS FROM LATE THIS MORNING FROM MCCARRAN
SHOWED MOISTURE HAD INCREASED FURTHER. AN INVERTED TROUGH WAS
LOCATED OVER THE LOWER SOCAL DESERTS AND THIS FEATURE COMBINED WITH
ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN THE MID AND ESPECIALLY UPPER LEVELS HAS
RESULTED IN PLENTIFUL CLOUD COVER ACROSS OUR AREA. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS OUR AREA AND WERE MOVING WEST
COURTESY OF STRONG MID-LEVEL FLOW OUT OF THE EAST AT UP TO 25 KTS.
ALTHOUGH THE ATMOSPHERE HAS MOISTENED UP SINCE THIS MORNING...THERE
IS STILL A LOT OF DRY LOW-LEVEL AIR IN PLACE WHICH WILL INCREASE THE
MOMENTUM POTENTIAL WITH ANY DOWNDRAFTS FROM THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS WILL INCREASE THE THREAT OF GUSTY WINDS
AND MAKE THIS THE PRIMARY HAZARD WITH THUNDERSTORMS OVER MOST OF THE
AREA THIS EVENING. THE WRF SHOWS DCAPE VALUES OVER 1000 J/KG OVER
MOHAVE COUNTY THIS EVENING WHICH IS QUITE HIGH AND CERTAINLY POINTS
TO THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS TO REACH SEVERE CRITERIA FROM ANY POTENT
STORMS. ALTHOUGH THE CHANCE IS GREATEST IN WESTERN INYO COUNTY WHERE
MOISTURE IS MORE LIMITED...ANY LIGHTNING COULD LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL
FOR WILDFIRES. TEMPS HAVE STRUGGLED TO WARM THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO
THE PLETHORA OF CLOUDS AROUND. AS A RESULT TEMPS TONIGHT WILL NOT
DROP THAT MUCH EXCEPT WHERE ANY RAIN OR OUTFLOW COOLS THINGS OFF. I
GENERALLY LEANED TOWARDS A BLEND OF CONTINUITY AND THE WARMER MAV
NUMBERS FOR TONIGHT...HOWEVER READINGS TONIGHT SHOULD BE A FEW
DEGREES COOLER. AS A FYI...THE LOW THIS MORNING OF 107 IN DEATH
VALLEY AT FURNACE CREEK WAS THE SECOND WARMEST LOW EVER OBSERVED
HERE SINCE RECORDS STARTED IN JUNE 1911.
TOMORROW THE INVERTED TROUGH OVER THE SOCAL DESERTS IS FORECAST TO
SLIDE FURTHER WEST TOWARDS THE SOCAL COAST. EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW
IS FORECAST TO BECOME MORE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AS THE DAY PROGRESSES
AS THE FEATURE HEADS TO THE COAST. MOISTURE SHOULD INCREASE FURTHER
TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. 850 MB DEWPOINTS ABOVE 10C+ AND PWATS
OVER 1.50 INCHES ARE FORECAST ACROSS JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE MOJAVE
DESERT AND SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN AND WITH THIS MUCH MOISTURE IT IS
HARD TO ARGUE AGAINST A FLASH FLOOD WATCH EVEN IF IT STAYS CLOUDY AS
THE UNLOAD FACTOR IN THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THERE FOR HEAVY RAIN.
WHILE THE CLOUDS ARE A FACTOR AGAINST STORMS DEVELOPING
TOMORROW...THE PRESENCE OF THE INVERTED TROUGH AND THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A 60 KT+ JET STREAK AT 250 MB OVER SOCAL ON THE NORTHEAST
QUADRANT OF THIS FEATURE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO INDUCE LIFT ACROSS THE
AREA TO ENHANCE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. ALTHOUGH THE ATMOSPHERE
WILL MOISTEN TOMORROW SOME STORMS WILL STILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
GUSTY WINDS. FREEZING LEVELS ARE FORECAST TO BE AOA 15000 FEET SO
THE CHANCE OF LARGE HAIL IS QUITE SMALL. WITH ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER
HELD DOWN TEMPS TOMORROW...BUT WENT WITH THE WARMER OF GUIDANCE.
MANY AREAS MAY SEE HIGHS AT ODD TIMES OF THE DAY DEPENDING ON WHEN
STORMS ARE AROUND.
BY FRIDAY NIGHT THE INVERTED TROUGH IS FORECAST TO MORPH INTO A
CLOSED LOW NEAR LOS ANGELES...THEN THIS FEATURE IS FORECAST TO LIFT
NORTHEAST ON SATURDAY AS A MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES IN FROM THE
PACIFIC. THIS WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD SOME DRIER AIR IN FROM THE WEST
BUT MUCH OF THE AREA WILL STILL SEE THE POSSIBILITY OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY IN THE EASTERN SECTIONS. POPS WERE RAISED
SLIGHTLY IN THESE AREAS. AGAIN WITH A HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE
ATMOSPHERE FLASH FLOODING WILL BE A CONCERN WITH ACTIVITY HOWEVER
GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN.
.LONG TERM...THE MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE PACIFIC
IS FORECAST TO MOVE SLOWLY INLAND FROM SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
GRADUALLY DRYING OUT THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST. THE LOWEST POPS
WERE PLACED OVER THE SOUTHWEST CWFA AROUND BARSTOW AND THE MORONGO
BASIN WHERE MORE STABLE AIR WILL ALSO BE IN PLACE. FURTHER EAST POPS
REMAIN THE GREATEST AS THE BEST MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY SITS OVER
THESE AREAS. THE PLACE TO WATCH WILL BE IN-BETWEEN AS SOMETIMES THE
AREA WHERE DRY AND STABLE IT FROM WEST MEETS THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE
AIR TO THE EAST SERVES AS A FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT. HIGH TEMPS SHOULD TREND BACK CLOSER TO NORMAL AS THE
AREA DRIES OUT AND SEES MORE SUN. BIAS CORRECTED GUIDANCE ESPECIALLY
OFF THE ECMWF LOOKED TOO COOL FOR TEMPS AND LEANED TOWARDS
CONTINUITY FOR HIGHS IN THIS TIME PERIOD. IT APPEARS BY WEDNESDAY
THE TROUGH ALONG THE WEST COAST WILL DIG FAR ENOUGH SOUTH AND MOVE
FAR ENOUGH EAST TO DRY OUT THE ENTIRE AREA. BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY THIS TROUGH LOOKS AS THOUGH IT WILL FINALLY LIFT OUT WHICH
WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR RIDGING ALOFT OVER THE SOUTHERN CONUS TO
BUILD BACK INTO OUR AREA. THIS MAY ALLOW THE FLOW ALOFT TO TURN BACK
TO THE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST BY THE LATER PART OF NEXT WEEK ALLOWING
MONSOONAL MOISTURE TO SNEAK BACK INTO THE AREA OR AT LEAST MOHAVE
COUNTY.
&&
.AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...THE MAIN CONCERN THIS EVENING WILL BE
WHAT GOES WITH ANY SHRA/TSRA OVER MOHAVE COUNTY AS AN EASTERLY
STEERING FLOW WOULD PUSH ANY STORMS OR OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES TOWARDS
THE AIRPORT. OVERALL A BROAD POSSIBILITY OF SHRA/TSRA WILL EXIST IN
AND AROUND THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. MAINLY BKN CLOUDS AOA
15-18K FEET THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING WITH SCT CLOUDS AS LOW AS 7K-12K
FEET AT TIMES ESPECIALLY ON FRIDAY. THE PRIMARY HAZARD WITH TSRA
THIS EVENING WILL BE GUSTY WINDS WHILE ON FRIDAY WILL BE HEAVY RAIN
WITH GUSTY WINDS A THREAT BUT NOT AS GREAT AS THIS EVENING.
OTHERWISE AWAY FROM TSRA OR ANY OUTFLOWS WINDS SHOULD FAVOR DIURNAL
DIRECTIONAL TRENDS. TEMPS SHOULD STAY BELOW 100F ON FRIDAY.
FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...SCT SHRA/TSRA THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT...BECOMING
NUMEROUS ON FRIDAY ACROSS THE AREA. GUSTY WINDS WILL BE A HAZARD IN
AND NEAR ANY TSRA ESPECIALLY THIS EVENING AND ACROSS MOHAVE COUNTY
AND NORTHEAST CLARK COUNTY. MAINLY BKN CIGS AOA 8K-15K FEET WITH
BASES AS LOW AS 6K FEET AT TIMES. VSBY MAY BE REDUCED IN AND NEAR
ANY HEAVIER TSRA...WITH THE GREATEST THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN ON
FRIDAY. OTHERWISE AWAY FROM SHRA/TSRA WINDS SHOULD FAVOR TYPICAL
DIURNAL TRENDS.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...DRY LOW-LEVEL AIR WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASED THREAT
FOR DRY LIGHTNING ALLOWING IT TO REACH CRITICAL LEVELS OVER THE INYO
NATIONAL FOREST AND OWENS VALLEY AND A RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN
EFFECT FOR THIS AREA. ELSEWHERE LIGHTNING MAY ALLOW FOR FIRE STARTS
BUT STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE PRIMARILY WET. GUSTY WINDS IN STORMS
WILL BE A HAZARD ESPECIALLY THIS EVENING ACROSS MOHAVE AND NORTHEAST
CLARK COUNTIES AND TO A LESSER EXTENT IN EASTERN LINCOLN COUNTIES.
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL INCREASE THROUGH FRIDAY AS MONSOON
MOISTURE MOVES IN FROM THE SOUTH. STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE WET
ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY AND CONTINUING INTO SATURDAY SO NO
ADDITIONAL HEADLINES WILL BE ISSUED AT THIS TIME.
