SYNOPSIS
Relatively benign weather is on tap for the region through early next week. We will see the potential for widespread unsettled weather across southeast California, southern Nevada, and northwest Arizona increase around mid-to-late week as an atmospheric river takes aim at southern California.

UPDATE
Not much change in the forecast through the middle of next week. Still expecting temperatures to remain near seasonal values through Tuesday with periods of breezy winds. Impactful wind potential increases across western San Bernardino County on Tuesday and Wednesday before becoming more widespread late in the week as a more robust system approaches. This trough will have an accompanying atmospheric river that currently appears to be the most promising chance of precipitation this season. It is still 6-7 days out so uncertainty and the promise of forecast changes linger, but we remain cautiously optimistic.

SHORT TERM
through Monday.

Broad troughing will be the dominant synoptic feature across the Western US for the next few days, with quiet weather conditions on tap for the region over the weekend. The lower 500 mb heights associated with this troughing will result in cooler temperatures over the weekend than what we experienced during the week. However, despite this slight cool down, temperatures will remain right at or slightly above normal for early February. A weak shortwave embedded in within the aforementioned trough will pass through northern portion of the Great Basin later this afternoon. Outside of a slight uptick in northerly winds across the Southern Great Basin on Saturday night and north breezes lingering down the Colorado River Valley on Sunday, these disturbances will pass by fairly inconspicuously. Another weak disturbance passing through the Desert Southwest on Sunday and Monday. The biggest impact associated with this system will be increasing mid-to-high cloud cover as the system continues it's eastward trek across the Pacific towards the southwestern US.

LONG TERM
Tuesday through Friday.

Broad troughing across the western United States will continue through next week, which will keep temperatures at or below seasonal averages. Shortwaves will glide along this longwave trough, which will bring breezy afternoons to the region - notably on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons as their shortwave trough axes pass through the forecast area. Otherwise, the main story for the long term forecast is the placement of the atmospheric river. For the first half of the week, the atmospheric river moisture plume remains situated south of our forecast area over Sonora.

Mid-to-late week, a deep closed low off the coast of the Pacific Northwest will push into northern California before weakening into an open wave and diving through the Desert Southwest. This will guide the atmospheric river counter-clockwise around the Sierra Nevada, allowing moisture to permeate through the Mojave Desert.
Ensemble means indicate PWATs will increase to over 0.50" across desert locations of southeastern California, southern Nevada, and northwestern Arizona late-week. The GFS and ECMWF ensemble means disagree somewhat on timing and exact location of this moisture, but both continue to trend later in the week, with a favor toward Thursday into Friday. The NBMv4.2 is the wetter of the solutions, as there is quite a bit of bias correcting due to the dry streak, with a 50th percentile 72-hour rainfall total for Las Vegas around 0.50".
The NBMv5.0, on the otherhand, is quite a bit drier due to a significantly decreased bias correction, and is showing around 0.10" of rain for Las Vegas. Meanwhile, only 3 members of the 50 ECMWF ensemble members and only 3 members of the 30 GEFS members are dry for Las Vegas late next week, with the remaining members calling for measurable rainfall.

Of the atmospheric river events so far this year, next week's looks to be the most promising to end the Las Vegas dry streak.
However, it's worth mentioning that as this system trends later, we're talking about a forecast nearly a week out from today. As such, details are guaranteed to change between now and then, so don't break out the umbrellas just yet.

AVIATION
For Harry Reid...Gusts experienced Friday evening have diminished, with light southwesterly/variable winds expected to continue through mid-morning. Thereafter, there will be a brief period from around 17Z-20Z that winds are expected to shift to the north-northwest, increasing to around 8KT. Currently, there is a 10- 20% probability for winds to reach/exceed 10KT through early evening before winds once again become light and variable. Around 09/09Z, high-resolution guidance indicates a more pronounced northwesterly wind shift, concurrent with the probability for sustained wind speeds over 10KT increasing to 30-40%, though gusts will be limited.
Fortunately, winds will be far less impactful today than recent days, with VFR conditions prevailing through Sunday morning. Passing high clouds with bases at or above 20kft will lead to no operational impacts.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California...In the Las Vegas Valley, northwesterly winds will continue in earnest at KVGT, with sustained speeds around 10KT and intermittent gusts to 15-20KT through late morning. Thereafter, a lull with light and variable winds is expected, before winds return to the northwest late evening, becoming elevated and intermittently gusty once again. KHND, on the other hand, has finally seen gusts diminish early this morning, with light southwesterly winds becoming variable thereafter. KBIH will generally see northerly to northwesterly winds through the period, with some variability during the late morning and early afternoon. Speeds there remain light until around 09/00Z, when a brief period of gusty north winds with gusts to around 20KT is expected, before diminishing by mid-evening and remaining light thereafter. At KDAG,winds will remain westerly to west-northwesterly through Sunday morning, with elevated winds with sustained speeds around 10-15KT this morning and intermittent higher gusts possible. Gusts will diminish and wind speeds will drop under 10KT by late morning, then persisting this afternoon and tonight. Lower Colorado River Valley terminals, KIFP and KEED, will see light and variable winds this morning shifting to the north by around 17Z, quickly becoming elevated and gusty. Gusts up to 20KT are expected at both terminals, with gusts diminishing by late afternoon. A second period of gusty north winds is likely at KIFP late in the forecast period, around 09/08Z onward, though confidence is low for these winds to progress downvalley to KEED by 09/12Z. VFR conditions will prevail through tonight, with passing high clouds with bases at or above 20kft.
