Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 959 AM PDT Thu Jun 13 2019 .SYNOPSIS...Hot conditions will continue through today with portions of the area under an Excessive Heat Warning. Breezy and dry conditions will present an elevated fire weather concern today afternoon as well. Some relief is expected Friday with temperatures 4 to 8 degrees cooler which will linger through Tuesday of next week. Breezy afternoon winds will be common over the next week with almost daily chances for afternoon showers and storms over the Sierra Nevada and southern Great Basin. && .UPDATE... Forecast looks to be on track for another hot and mostly dry day. With temperatures similar to yesterday, the Excessive Heat Warning will remain in effect through this evening for portions of the area. There will be the addition of breezy south to southwest winds this afternoon as a trough moves into the Western U.S. and ridge continues to push eastward away from the area. Widespread gusts of 20-30 mph will be likely with stronger gusts up to 30-40 mph possible over Mohave and western San Bernardino counties. A few showers and storms will be possible ahead of this trough later this afternoon across northern Inyo and Esmeralda counties. Made minor changes to keep in chances to see these showers and storms slightly later in the day; through around sunset in these areas. && .DISCUSSION...through next Wednesday. Warm night in progress with temps holding in the low-mid 80s across the Las Vegas Valley, while Furnace Creek is at 97 degrees as of 3 am. Even though heights fall today, forecast highs will be very similar to yesterday. Therefore, the Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect through this evening. Incoming trough responsible for displacing the ridge south is aiding in the development of isolated thunderstorms across northwest and north central Nevada early this morning. Similar to yesterday, we should see isolated thunderstorms develop in parts of northern Inyo and Esmeralda Counties. Elsewhere today, the development of gusty south-southwest winds will be of some concern. Minimum humidity values are forecast to fall into the single digits this afternoon. Based on fuel status statistics the hot temperatures the past two days have lead to further curing with more of our area starting to see fuels approaching critical thresholds. Won't be long before we will need to start issuing fire weather related products. The trough will slowly shift southeast across the Great Basin tonight and Friday. Models continue to suggest there will be enough forcing, instability and moisture to support thunderstorms as far south as the Spring Mtns/Sheep Range Friday afternoon/evening. Array of guidance shows temperatures dropping 2-6 degrees, some as much as 6-9 degrees on Friday from today's high. Saturday-Wednesday: Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible across Inyo County and south central Nevada. Elsewhere it will be dry with temperatures near to slight above normal. Another, strong ridge nosing in from the Pacific next Wednesday looks to bring an end to the cycle of thunderstorms while temperatures start to rise. && .FIRE WEATHER...Hot temperatures, curing fuels, and afternoon breezes may create fire weather concerns today for a few areas nearing critical thresholds. Cooler air aloft will support daily afternoon shower and thunderstorm chances into next week across the Sierra Nevada and southern Great Basin with temperatures 5-8 degrees cooler by Friday and holding over the weekend. Overnight humidity recovery should help to limit fire in those areas. && .AVIATION...For McCarran...Southwest winds will push into the valley by this afternoon, with south to southeast winds expected ahead of this push. Expect a little bit of shear in the low levels before winds turn southwest, with light low-level turbulence also possible. Temperatures will once again rise above 100 degrees, with density altitudes once again above 5000 ft. Slightly cooler temperatures arrive for Friday, with shower and thunderstorm chances over the mountains, potentially impacting the Mormon Mesa and Beatty corridors. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California... Continued hot temperatures expected with southwest winds increasing this afternoon. The strongest winds will remain generally along and south/east of KDAG-KLAS line. Surface winds in excess of 25 kts could lead to some low-level wind shear as well as light low-level turbulence. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && DISCUSSION...Pierce AVIATION...Steele UPDATE...Guillet For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: http://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
