Area Forecast Discussion . UPDATED National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 253 AM PDT Thu Apr 22 2021
SYNOPSIS . As our active pattern continues this week, winds will decrease for most locations today compared to yesterday with cooler temperatures. Warm up still expected for Friday through the weekend, but gusty southwest winds return both Saturday and Sunday. Confidence is increasing for the potential of widespread precipitation for the region as a large Pacific System brings welcome moisture into the entire region by early next week.
SHORT TERM. Tonight through Friday. With winds subsided across the region for the most part, the focus of the short term is on the exit of yesterday's closed low and the evolution and eventual passage of a building low off the coast of California. This low has continued to trend towards swinging quite wide and not coming on shore until south of the CA/Mexico border now. This path does not lend itself to much in the way of impact for us here in the Great Basin other than some very slight potential for weak thunderstorms over northern Arizona this afternoon. This area does see a notable uptick in surface dewpoints, enough to turn LIs slightly negative after 20Z this afternoon and possible tap into some marginal instability. These will likely be more virga bomb creators than actual precip makers. In fact, the HRRR has been indicating isolated cells producing outflows from KEED to the Mt. Trumbull area.
Also this afternoon, hi-res models continue to keep winds gusty for the southern Owens Valley south of Olancha and across the western Mojave desert where gusts of 35-40 may still occur. Otherwise, no other impacts expected today.
The quietest day of the next several will likely be Friday as ridging sets in temporarily over the western CONUS. This will allow for a day of warmer temperatures and comparatively light winds across the region.
LONG TERM. Sunday through Wednesday.
A large eastern Pacific low pressure system is forecast to move to the west coast on Sunday and then inland across the western states on Monday before exiting to the east on Tuesday with ridging building in over the area on Wednesday.
Sunday is expected to be dry and windy area wide with headlines potentially being needed to address strong winds and increasing fire concerns.
Ensembles continue to forecast a large trough moving into the western states on Monday bringing a widespread chance of showers to our area. The system is forecast to remain progressive according to the GEFS and is east of the area on Tuesday followed by ridging on Wednesday. The EC ENS is less progressive and lingers the low over the area into Tuesday before moving it east late Tuesday. It also has ridging returning on Wednesday. Clusters appear to be evenly split on the two solutions. The extended pattern will begin with near seasonal temperatures on Sunday dropping to well below normal Monday and Tuesday before returning to near normal by midweek.
FIRE WEATHER. No significant winds are expected Thursday or Friday but gusty southwest winds return on Saturday and Sunday leading to elevated fire concerns for both days.
AVIATION. For McCarran . Winds may vary through the day, bouncing around from north to east at times, but speeds should remain at 8KT or less through the time period. Mostly clear skies this morning, but we will see FEW-SCT120-140 by this afternoon.
For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast California . Winds will favor typical diurnal wind trends, though isolated gusts to around 20KT are possible down the Colorado River Valley. Occasional SCT-BKN CIGs around 10kft are possible at times. There is a possibility of a shower or possible thunderstorm across portions of southern Mohave County and far eastern San Bernardino County this afternoon.
SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT. Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures.
