SYNOPSIS
Warming temperatures, mostly clear skies, and afternoon breezes expected through Tuesday. Gusty north-northwest winds will pickup Wednesday across the region with a brief drop in temperatures. Warming will return heading into the weekend.
DISCUSSION
Today through next Sunday.
With a trough to our east and a Pacific ridge to our west, the Desert Southwest rests underneath a dry northwesterly flow aloft.
This flow is conducive for shortwave passages, which will lend to breezy afternoons through Tuesday. Additionally, increasing heights over the region will result in increasing temperatures through Tuesday, with temperatures ranging 5-7 degrees above seasonal averages Tuesday afternoon.
On Wednesday, an open wave trough will pass through the southeastern Great Basin, which will increase north-northwest winds across southern Nevada, southeastern California, and northwestern Arizona.
Winds should remain below advisory levels, though isolated gusts to 40 mph cannot be ruled out in the higher terrain, particularly in southwestern Nevada. On Thursday, these winds will concentrate along the Colorado River Valley, resulting in hazardous boating conditions at Lake Mohave. This "inside slider" will be dry, so no chance of precipitation expected.
Temperatures will briefly moderate Wednesday and Thursday before increasing once again going into the weekend underneath rising heights.
Uncertainty exists in the long term. Ensembles suggest a trough will move into the western United States next weekend, though details regarding the strength, location, and speed remain unknown at this time.
AVIATION
For Harry Reid...Light and diurnal winds today and overnight, with a 15% chance of speeds reaching 10+ knots between now and 02z. This evening, when the typical southwest winds kick in, chance of 10+ knots increases to about 40%. Mostly clear skies with just a few flat cumulus clouds around 10kft over the high terrain.
Stronger southwest winds develop late tomorrow morning, with gusts of 20-25 knots expected.
For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...Generally light and diurnal winds at the area TAF sites today and tonight. Only site where winds over 10 knots are expected is KDAG, where west winds of 10-20 knots are forecast this evening and overnight. Otherwise, chances of 10+ knot winds are around 20- 40% at the other airports. VFR conditions persist with just a few flat cumulus clouds between 8-10kft this afternoon.
SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT
Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures.
