NWS Las Vegas, NV wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 30, 8:38 PM PST, 3 hours 22 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 938 PM PDT Mon Jun 30 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... * Hot temperatures continue, peaking today and Tuesday and slowly moderating thereafter. * Increasing moisture will result in a return of thunderstorm chances, first across Mohave County on Tuesday, then expanding across southern Nevada and eastern San Bernardino County through Wednesday. Storm chances may linger across northwestern Arizona through Thursday. && .DISCUSSION... This afternoon, highs are well on their way to topping out around 3 to 7 degrees above normal with current temperatures in the mid 90s and lower 100s across lower elevations, and 80s in the mountains. Per latest water vapor imagery and 500hPa RUC analysis, a negatively-tilted ridge remains anchored over the Four Corners Region, with an approaching trough to the west off of the Central California Coast that will gradually translate eastward the next several days. Decreasing thicknesses with this trough as well as increasing moisture will result in a slow moderation of temperatures, with highs Tuesday similar to today, but gradually cooling down and topping out closer to normal by the end of the week and into this weekend. Fortunately, HeatRisk largely remains in the Minor to Moderate range, precluding the need for any heat-related headlines, though those spending time outdoors will still need to ensure they stay hydrated and as cool as possible. Ahead of the approaching trough, monsoonal moisture will continue increasing over the region. This increase in moisture is already underway today, with precipitable water (PWAT) values over southern reaches of the forecast area already gradually working toward 100 percent of normal. This increase will be more substantial Tuesday and especially on Wednesday, as PWATs increase to around 125 to 150 percent of normal per latest ensemble guidance, focused particularly across southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona. This moisture, coincident with the approaching trough to the west and its associated ascent will yield increasing storm chances. Storm chances begin ramping up across Mohave County Tuesday afternoon and evening, gradually expanding northward and westward through Wednesday, with current expectations for storm potential to peak Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday evening. Storm chances look to linger into Thursday, particularly across portions of Mohave County, though the timing of the aforementioned trough will make a difference as it ushers in drier air, shunting moisture and storm chances eastward. In its wake, a return to dry and breezy conditions is expected for the end of the week through the upcoming weekend. && .AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 06Z Forecast Package...Southwesterly winds under 10 knots should persist through the night before variable winds develop tomorrow morning. Another round of gusty south-southwest winds arrives in the afternoon and mid level clouds should start to move into the area during that time. Outflow from convection in the region may reach the Las Vegas Valley in the late afternoon or early evening, but confidence is low at this time. Any outflows that reach the terminal may cause temporary changes in wind direction or speed. Temperatures should fall to less than 100 degrees by 04Z, increasing to over 100 degrees between 18Z and 04Z tomorrow. For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...For the 06Z Forecast Package...Breezy westerly winds persist through the night in the western Mojave Desert including KDAG. Light winds are expected elsewhere. Tomorrow's winds should be similar to today's, with increasing southerly to southwesterly winds at most locations in the afternoon. Convection is likely in the region tomorrow afternoon and evening. Outflow winds from storms over high terrain in northwestern Arizona may reach the Colorado River Valley including KEED and KIFP by the evening. Outflow from isolated storms may also reach terminals in other parts of the Mojave Desert including the Las Vegas Valley in the afternoon and evening, but confidence is low at this time. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures. && DISCUSSION...Phillipson AVIATION...Meltzer For more forecast information...see us on our webpage: https://weather.gov/lasvegas or follow us on Facebook and Twitter
