SYNOPSIS
A series of shortwaves will move across the southern Great Basin through the end of the week, resulting in breezy afternoons and decreasing temperatures. A stronger area of low pressure will swing across the region over the weekend, bringing below normal temperatures along with a slight chance of precipitation over northern areas. Temperatures will return to near to above normal levels early next week.
UPDATE
Shortwave over the northern Great Basin reduced our heights slightly today with regional high temperatures responding with a few degrees of cooling compared to yesterday. This shortwave will lift into the northern Rockies tonight but a second, stronger shortwave will approach the West Coast by tomorrow afternoon, keeping high temperatures similar to today and keeping the southwesterly breezes going. The current forecast is in good shape and no update is necessary.

SHORT TERM
through Thursday.
A short wave passing across the central Great Basin this afternoon through tonight will mainly result in an increase in mid and high- level clouds, although a few areas of virga may also be seen. No precipitation is expected to reach the ground, except for the highest peaks north of the Vegas Valley, where an isolated shower will be possible. Breezy south to southwest winds will also be seen across the area, with the strongest winds (20 to 30 mph), both this afternoon and again tomorrow afternoon, being seen across the western Mojave Desert and southern Inyo County. As the short wave passes, heights will fall slightly, resulting in temperatures at the surface cooling a few degrees today and again tomorrow.
LONG TERM
Friday through Wednesday.
A fairly deep trough will take shape off the West Coast on Friday and shift inland over the weekend. Overall, ensemble agreement has come into pretty good agreement on the general idea with this system, though there remains some uncertainty about how quickly the system departs early next week. Nonetheless, gusty winds will overspread much of the region Friday and Saturday in advance of the trough, along with sharply cooler temperatures Saturday and Sunday.
Precipitation expectations remain fairly limited, with the best chance for light rain and high elevation snow possible in the Sierra and southern Great Basin. However, cold air aloft under the trough axis over the weekend could result in at least some isolated terrain- driven showers as far south as Las Vegas, so trends will continue to be monitored for any necessary bumps in precip chances.
By early next week, heights will gradually rise as the weekend trough departs. As mentioned previously, how quickly it departs remains a little uncertain, but a general warming trend is still likely to begin Monday, and temperatures returning to near normal or slightly above normal by midweek.
AVIATION
For Harry Reid
For the 00Z Forecast Package
Breezy south to southwest winds have developed this afternoon with gusts 20-25KT reported so far at the valley TAF sites. These winds will continue through about 02Z when there is a 30%-40% chance for gusts over 25KT before diminishing after sunset. South gusts will end 03Z-06Z, but there is at least a 50% chance for wind speeds at or above 10KT through 09Z so expected continued elevated winds speeds through the first half of the night. Winds should drop below 8KT between 09Z-12Z Thursday morning at KLAS and VGT with light diurnal through Thursday morning. KHND will remain south around 10KT through Thursday morning. South to southwest wind will increase again Thursday after 18Z and should be slightly lower than today's winds as gusts top out at around 20KT. Occasional clouds around 20kft-25kft are expected at times through the period.
For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California
For the 00Z Forecast Package
Breezy south to southwest winds with gusts 20-30KT will continue through the evening. KBIH should see another push of west winds around 00Z with gusts up to 25KT. Winds will slowly diminish tonight and become diurnal by Thursday early morning everywhere expect around KDAG where continued west winds at 10-15KT with gusts to around 25KT should continue through at least Thursday morning. Southwest winds will increase again Thursday afternoon but should be not as gusty as today with widespread gusts 20-25KT likely. Occasional clouds around 15kft-25kft are expected at times in the Southern Great Basin region, with mostly clear skies further south.
