NWS Las Vegas, NV wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 27, 6:30 PM PST, 5 hours 30 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 730 PM PDT Sat Jul 27 2019 .SYNOPSIS...It will be hot and dry across the entire area through Monday. The weather pattern favors a return of monsoon moisture to northwest Arizona on Tuesday. A more substantial surge of moisture appears likely by Wednesday as a weather disturbance lifts up from the Gulf of California and brings chances for showers and thunderstorms back to parts of far southeast California and southern Nevada. && .UPDATE...Scattered clouds which developed with daytime heating will continue to decrease this evening with dry and clear conditions expected overnight. Similar conditions can be anticipated tomorrow with temperatures climbing several degrees above normal. The current forecast is in good shape and no updates are necessary tonight. -Outler- && .DISCUSSION...through next Saturday. A short-lived heatwave will build over our area through Monday as high pressure centered over southern Arizona expands across the southwest states. This will give us temperatures in the 110-115 range across the Mojave Desert and CO River zones...similar to Jul 13-14. An incoming trough along the West Coast will begin to push the high over the Four Corners region Tuesday which will increase southerly flow over western Arizona allowing a circulation over the Gulf of California to move up the lower Colorado River Valley and tri-state area Wednesday. This is forecast to bring a surge of moisture spreading up over southeast California and southern Nevada with considerable cloud cover and increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms. There is good agreement among the operational models on this feature and associated moisture and is supported by the NBM which indicates a significant increase in clouds and PoPs. High temps are also forecast to drop about 15 degrees between Monday and Wednesday. A dryer southwest flow is forecast to develop behind the disturbance Thursday and Friday as it lifts across southern Utah, but we may be right on the border of moisture over Arizona. So, chances for showers and thunderstorms will linger over Mohave County into next weekend. && .FIRE WEATHER...Hot and dry weather will encompass the area through Monday. Monsoon moisture returns to Mohave County Tuesday then spreads into eastern San Bernardino and southeast Nevada Wednesday. && .AVIATION...For McCarran...West to northwest winds will prevail for the remainder of the afternoon before shifting to the southwest later this evening. Speeds should remain around 8 knots or less through late tonight before becoming light and variable early Sunday morning. On Sunday, winds remain light and follow near to diurnal trends. FEW-SCT clouds at 10k feet are expected throughout the period. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...A couple of isolated showers and storms will be possible through late this afternoon over the higher elevations of Lincoln and Clark counties. In general, winds will remain relatively light with the exception of a few westerly gusts of 15-20 knots possible across portions of Mohave, Clark, and eastern San Bernardino counties this afternoon. Lighter winds are expected overnight and on Sunday; following near to diurnal trends. FEW-SCT clouds at or above 10k feet are likely throughout the period. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotter activation is not expected through Monday. Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && DISCUSSION/FIRE WEATHER...Adair Aviation...Guillet For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: http://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
