(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus65 kvef 260249 afdvef area forecast discussion national weather service las vegas nv 749 pm pdt Sun jun 25 2017 Synopsis Conditions will finally begin to cool early this week as a weather system moves across the western states. This system will bring increased winds to much of the region, especially Monday. Outside of a few isolated showers storms this afternoon, dry conditions are expected this week. Update Most of the weak shower activity that did try to get going in lincoln and the sierra on a downward trend as main moisture axis continues to shift northeast, and drier more subsident air begins to push in. The main forecast concern for the rest if the evening tonight is if the boundary layer will decouple and allow winds to become light and variable or if breezy southwest to west winds will remain through the overnight. Prev discussion issued at 150 pm pdt Sun jun 25 2017 Short term Today through Tuesday. Weak shower activity has developed across the higher terrain of mohave county as expected this afternoon. Elsewhere, there have also been some indications of virga over the nnss and lincoln county while clouds have struggled to develop over the sierra. Expect most of this activity to fizzle after sunset today with the loss of heating. Focus then turns to a trough that will push across the western states Monday and Tuesday which will bring increased winds to the region. These winds are expected to peak on Monday, with isolated gusts in the 35 mph range across southern nevada and northwest arizona and closer to 40 mph across the deserts of southeast california. See the fire weather section for fire danger concerns. This trough will also bring relief from the prolonged period of excessive heat that we've been experiencing. The latest guidance has cooled high temperatures yet again for Monday and as a result i've dropped the high temperature forecast for las vegas to 108f. It's going to be a challenge to tie the record for consecutive days at or above 110f of 10 days (1961). With a current temperature of 110f as of this writing, we currently stand at 9 days. Winds are expected to decrease slightly both Tuesday and Wednesday with temperatures cooling another 2-3 degrees each day. Long term Wednesday through Saturday. By Wednesday, the ridge over the southwest will continue to be suppressed a bit as the tail end of a trough drapes over much of the western CONUS through the work week. Models are now indicating that a impulse shortwave will develop off the coast of northern california by Friday. The strength and impacts of this feature are uncertain at this time as model variance is high for Fri and sat. Temperatures will be approaching normals by Wed and remaining near normal through the forecast period. Breezy southwest winds are expected each afternoon with wind speeds 10 to 15 mph and gusts around 20 to 25 mph. Wednesday afternoon, both the GFS and ECMWF are showing a tight gradient over much of central mohave county. This will cause some gusty southwest winds up to 30 mph Wed afternoon. |
Otherwise, dry and mostly clear conditions through the rest of the work week and into the weekend. Fire weather Outside of a few isolated showers storms today, dry conditions are expected this week. Conditions will finally begin to cool early this week as a weather system moves across the western states. This system will bring increased winds to much of the region, especially Monday. This prompted a red flag warning to be issued for Monday for portions of southern nevada and northwest arizona. Winds do look borderline but with the hot temperatures it's fairly easy for gusts to mix to the surface so i left the rfw in place. Another concern is winds across the sierra and san bernardino counties where gusts may approach 40 mph at times which could lead to periods of red flag conditions in those areas. Hydrology Observed flows on unregulated creeks, specifically independence creek, big pine creek and rock creek indicated flows have decreased slightly since their peak flows occurred earlier this week. Creeks, streams and rivers along the eastern sierra slopes of inyo county as well as the owens valley will be flowing high and fast through into at least early next week. Minor flooding could occur near creeks as well as a few low water crossings on some roadways. Remember, never drive through flooded roadways or around barricades. Also, pastureland or farmland adjacent to creeks, streams or rivers could experience areas of standing water. Aviation For mccarran... Light winds generally out of the east will veer southwest and increase this afternoon. Winds over 10kts are anticipated by 23z today. Expect gusty west-southwest winds to continue through much of the night, with gusts over 20kts possible after 03z. There with a chance that winds will drop off for a brief time between 10z and 15z and go light, however confidence is too low at this time and did not include it in the current TAF forecast. Gusty southwest winds will continue tomorrow, with stronger winds anticipated after 18z Monday than what we should see today. Otherwise, virga concerns in the mccarran airspace will be minimal through the afternoon, andVFR scattered clouds should move away by tonight. For the rest of southern nevada, northwest arizona and southeast california... Winds will increase out of the west or southwest this evening and overnight, with the strongest winds expected in san bernardino county on the downslope side of the spring mountains. After a brief lull Monday morning, west winds will pick back up Monday late morning, and will be stronger than today. Otherwise, isolated showers or virga are possible in the higher terrain this afternoon, but widespread ceiling precip issues are not anticipated.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
