* Warm temperatures with afternoon highs well above normal will continue through Thursday.
* Isolated to scattered showers and storms are expected this afternoon through Wednesday, mainly for areas along and southeast of the I-15 corridor.
* Dry and windy conditions return Friday and continue into the weekend, bringing elevated fire risk and cooler temperatures to the region.
DISCUSSION
through Monday.
Above normal temperatures will continue through Thursday as a ridge of high pressure remains centered to southeast over southern New Mexico. Temperatures are expected to be at their warmest this afternoon, with highs ranging from 95F to 110F in most locations.
Readings will moderate somewhat Wednesday as mid-level moisture and associated cloud cover moves across the region. Temperatures will hold steady on Thursday before cooling resumes Friday and continues into the weekend as the next system moves into the region. By Sunday, temperatures are expected to be 5 to 10 degrees below seasonal normals.
The aforementioned influx of moisture, along with a weak shortwave approaching from the southwest, will allow for the development of isolated to scattered convection this afternoon across the southern Mojave Desert. This activity is then expected to lift northeast overnight into the Las Vegas Valley. Low levels are very dry and, initially, little if any precipitation is expected to reach the ground. DCAPE values of 1200 to 1400 J/kg indicate that gusty outflow winds, along with dry lightning strikes, will be the main concerns. As the system lifts north overnight, low levels will moisten somewhat, but most areas are not expected to see measurable rainfall. The best chance of measurable rainfall will be over the higher elevations of southern Nevada, but even there, most areas will see less than 0.10 inch. The moisture will be pushed east by Thursday, though low PoPs (around 10%) will remain possible in eastern Mohave County.
Dry weather returns on Friday and continues through the weekend as a potent trough (for this time of year) pushes into the western US.
While temperatures and moisture decrease, southwest winds will increase. Widespread wind gusts of 25 to 45 mph are likely, particularly on Friday and Saturday. Expect the typical wind impacts, including hazardous crosswinds and boating conditions, along with enhanced fire danger. Fuels are primed, and afternoon RH values are forecast to be 5 to 15 percent. Existing fires and any new starts from midweek convection will be difficult to contain. See the Fire Weather discussion below for more information.
AVIATION
For Harry Reid...For the 00Z Forecast Package...Southerly winds with afternoon and evening gusts to around 20 knots will persist through around sunset before easing the remainder of the night. A band of mid-level moisture will bring increasing showers to the terminal vicinity from 6z onward, with the best chances for light rain at the airfield occuring through the morning hours Wednesday, with SCT-BKN ceilings down to 8-10kft AGL.
A 10-20% chance exists for some lightning activity as well. Locally gusty winds may accompany the stronger showers, with brief gusts exceeding 25 knots possible. Clouds will gradually scatter out Wednesday afternoon and evening with southerly breezes expected in the afternoon.
For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California
For the 00Z Forecast Package
A band of mid-level moisture will bring increasing virga/light shower activity and isolated thunderstorms to the region this evening lasting into Wednesday morning. Best chances for shower activity will be across the Mojave Desert region with dry conditions persisting across the Sierra and near KBIH. Otherwise, light showers with locally gusty winds and sporadic lightning strikes will be possible through Wednesday morning as the regional TAF sites with CIGS in the 8-12kft AGL range. Improving conditions are expected Wednesday afternoon with clouds scattering out and dry conditions resuming.
FIRE WEATHER
A Red Flag Warning has been issued for this evening and overnight for portions of the Mojave Desert, including the Mojave Preserve. Isolated convection across the area will produce little, if any, measurable rainfall, but dry lightning strikes could result in a few fire starts. In addition, a Fire Weather Watch has been issued for much of the area for Friday and Saturday. An approaching late-season trough of low pressure will increase southerly winds to 20 to 30 mph, with gusts to 40 mph. This, combined with minimum RH values of 10 to 15 percent in many areas, will increase fire danger across the region.
SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT
Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures.
