NWS Las Vegas, NV wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 23, 1:22 PM PST, 10 hours 38 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 222 PM PDT Sun Jun 23 2019 .SYNOPSIS...Temperatures will run near average for much of the next week, with breezy to locally windy afternoons beginning Tuesday. && .DISCUSSION...through Saturday. Little to no change in forecast thinking for the week, with a low impact forecast. As trough departs, expect flat ridging to help temperatures warm back up to near normal the next couple of days. By Tuesday, an upper-level trough spinning into the Pacific Northwest will rotate our flow to the southwest and tighten up gradients. This will temper any warmup with temperatures leveling off near normal, and result in afternoon gusts of 20 to 30 mph just about every day after Tuesday for most of the area. By the end of the week, most of the energy associated with the upper-level trough moves northeastward into Canada, which could allow high pressure to rebound. && .FIRE WEATHER...Temperatures will rebound to near normal for the week. Afternoon RHs in the single digits along with winds gusting to 20 to 30 mph each afternoon Tuesday onward will combine to create elevated fire danger. Poor overnight recovery will accelerate fuel curing. && .AVIATION...For McCarran...Northeast to east winds below 10 knots expected through the early evening. A transition to southwesterly drainage is expected around 04-05z. On Monday, winds will increase out of the southeast in the afternoon around 10-12 knots. By late afternoon Monday a push of southwesterly winds is expected with periods of gusts up to 20 knots. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...Outside of the Colorado River Valley (CRV), winds are expected to remain below 10 knots through Monday morning. For airfields within the CRV, north winds 10-15 knots with gusts 20-25 knots will continue into the early evening before decreasing overnight. South to southwest winds will increase across the region Monday afternoon with winds 10-15 knots and gusts topping out near 25 knots. Locally stronger winds will be possible across the Western Mojave Desert and the Owens Valley. VFR conditions expected through the period. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && DISCUSSION/FIRE...Steele AVIATION..........Boothe For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: http://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
