The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Las Vegas, NV wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 9, 9:07 AM PST, 3 hours 53 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV 1007 AM PDT WED JUL 9 2014 .SYNOPSIS...MUCH OF THE AREA WILL STILL HAVE PLENTY OF MONSOON MOISTURE AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TODAY INTO TONIGHT. A FEW STORMS COULD PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAIN LEADING TO LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING. DRYING WILL TAKE PLACE FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE END OF THE WEEK WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES LIMITED TO MOHAVE COUNTY BY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. && .UPDATE...A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS AROUND THIS MORNING...STRETCHING FROM AROUND LAS VEGAS SOUTHWARD TO ESSEX. SOME LINGERING DEBRIS CLOUDS FROM CONVECTION OVERNIGHT HAVE ALLOWED SOME AREAS TO REMAIN MOSTLY CLOUDY. SOME OF THIS IS DISSIPATING. UPPER AIR SOUNDINGS AND MESOSCALE ANALYSIS INDICATE ABOUT THE SAME MOISTURE FOR MUCH OF OUR AREA AS YESTERDAY...BUT A LITTLE HIGHER ALONG THE CA/AZ BORDER WHERE THE OVERNIGHT MCS COMPLEX DISSIPATED. WOULD EXPECT THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL POTENTIAL TO BE ACROSS THAT AREA AND STRETCHING NORTH-NORTHEAST INTO MOHAVE COUNTY...BUT COULD BE A LITTLE LATER START TODAY. && .AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...LIGHT SHOWERS EAST OF THE AIRFIELD MAY PROVIDE A LIGHT EASTERLY COMPONENT BEFORE BECOME SOUTH/SOUTHWEST 10-15 KTS AFTER ABOUT 20Z. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS DUE TO THUNDERSTORMS AND OUTFLOW. BKN-OVC CLOUDS ABOVE 15 KFT THIS MORNING SHOULD SCATTER OUT BY MID MORNING. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AROUND THE AREA AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND EAST IN ARIZONA BUT A THUNDERSTORM CANNOT BE TOTALLY RULED OUT AT THE TERMINAL THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA AND NORTHWEST ARIZONA AND IN EASTERN SAN BERNARDINO AND NORTHERN INYO COUNTIES IN CALIFORNIA. MAYBE GENERALLY OVER THE MOJAVE DESERT THE REST OF TONIGHT. STORMS WILL LEAD TO GUSTY ERRATIC AND GUSTY WINDS. OTHERWISE WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE SOUTH/SOUTHWEST 10-15 KTS. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.../ISSUED 312 AM PDT WED JUL 9 2014/ .SHORT TERM...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN PERSISTING OVERNIGHT ACROSS EASTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY AND SOUTHWEST MOHAVE COUNTY BUT THAT ACTIVITY WAS WANING AS OF THIS WRITING. EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER WAS SEEN ON SATELLITE LOOPS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA LEFT OVER FROM DECAYING CONVECTION....ESPECIALLY ACROSS MOHAVE AND SOUTHERN CLARK AND FAR EASTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES. THAT AREA IS WHERE THE MODELS ARE INDICATING THE BEST INSTABILITY AND HIGHEST CAPE TODAY AND FLASH FLOODING IS A CONCERN. HOWEVER...THE EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER MAY LIMIT CONVECTION AT LEAST FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE DAY SO CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO GO WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH. MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL LINGER TODAY INTO TONIGHT ACROSS MAINLY THE EASTERN AND NORTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIR OVER WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO AND SOUTHERN INYO COUNTIES WHERE THUNDERSTORMS WERE LEFT OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR TODAY. THIS RELATIVELY DRY AND STABLE AIR WILL GRADUALLY PUSH EAST AND NORTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND BY FRIDAY IT LOOKS LIKE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES MAY BE NIL...EVEN IN MOHAVE COUNTY...AS A SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS. THE MODELS OFTEN PUSH THE MONSOON MOISTURE OUT TOO FAST SO I LEFT A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN MOHAVE COUNTY FRIDAY. .LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...A WEAK WAVE MOVING NORTHEAST OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC INTO NORCAL/OREGON WILL AID IN BRINGING INCREASED DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WHICH SHOULD BRING SOME REPRIEVE FROM THE ONGOING WIDESPREAD DAILY MONSOON ACTIVITY. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SCOUR MOST...IF NOT ALL...MONSOON-LEVEL MOISTURE OUT OF THE AREA BY SATURDAY. HOWEVER EXPERIENCE SAYS THAT MODELS ARE OFTEN TOO AGGRESSIVE WITH THAT SORT OF IDEA. AS A RESULT I HAVE LEFT AT LEAST SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVER MOHAVE COUNTY BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO DRIFT BACK TOWARD THE AREA SUNDAY...OPENING THE DOOR FOR MONSOON MOISTURE TO PUSH BACK INTO THE AREA. THE LATEST GUIDANCE HAS MOISTURE SEEPING BACK INTO THE AREA BY LATE SUNDAY. A MORE IMPRESSIVE PUSH MAY BE ON TAP FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY... COINCIDING WITH A FAIRLY WELL DEFINED [FOR THIS TYPE OF LEAD TIME] INVERTED TROUGH/VORT MAX PUSHING UP THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA. WHILE CONFIDENCE IN THE EXISTENCE OF THIS FEATURE IS ABOVE AVERAGE...THERE ARE DEFINITELY SOME INTER-MODEL DIFFERENCES IN ITS TIMING AND PLACEMENT WHICH PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN DETERMINING THE IMPACTS FOR OUR AREA. FOR THE MOMENT HAVE INDICATED A MARKED INCREASE IN PRECIP CHANCES FOR MONDAY...PRIMARILY SOUTHEAST OF THE INTERSTATE 15 CORRIDOR. HAVE LEFT IN SOME POPS MONDAY NIGHT...BUT IF THE DISTURBANCE IS SITUATED OVER THE AREA WE WILL NEED TO INCREASE POPS MORE. FOR TUESDAY AND BEYOND I HAVE SPREAD POPS FURTHER NORTH AND WEST ACROSS THE AREA...BUT CONFIDENCE REALLY BEGINS TO FALL OFF WITH THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE FORCING AT THIS POINT. IN ANY CASE...AFTER A COUPLE RELATIVELY QUIET DAYS OVER THE WEEKEND MONSOON 2014 LOOKS AS IF IT WILL RETURN TO FORM BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY SIGNIFICANT WEATHER CONDITIONS ACCORDING TO STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES. && UPDATE: MJP SHORT TERM: HARRISON LONG TERM: WOLCOTT AVIATION: MJP FOR MORE FORECAST INFORMATION...SEE US ON OUR WEBPAGE: HTTP://WEATHER.GOV/LASVEGAS OR FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER
