.KEY MESSAGES...
* Higher levels of monsoonal moisture today through Saturday will
result in increased chances for afternoon showers and
thunderstorms, some of which could produce locally heavy rains and
gusty winds.
* Temperatures fall to below-normal levels today and Friday,
followed by a gradual rebound to near normal levels over the
weekend.
&&
.DISCUSSION...through Wednesday.
A cut-off area of low pressure off the coast of Baja California will
help to push monsoonal moisture into the region over the next few
days. This increased moisture will allow for scattered showers and
thunderstorms to develop this afternoon and evening across southern
Nevada, northwest Arizona, and far eastern southern California.
PWATs continue to increase early this morning, and by this
afternoon, values around 1.5" are expected as far north as the Las
Vegas Valley. Instability will also increase today, with afternoon
CAPE values expected to be around 750 J/kg in the Vegas area and
around 1100 J/kg over central and southern Mohave County. Scattered
showers and a few isolated storms are likely over southern Mohave
County this morning, and by early afternoon, convection should
develop further north into southern Nevada. Given the high PWAT
values in place (approaching 200% of normal), heavy rainfall that
could produce flash flooding will be of concern in some of the
heavier storms, along with gusty winds exceeding 50 mph. Further to
the northwest over central Nye and Esmeralda counties, there will be
enough instability to trigger a few storms. However, given the lower
moisture levels that will be present, gusty winds will be the
primary concern. DCAPE values in this area will be around 1500 J/kg,
supporting isolated gusts exceeding 60 mph. Similar conditions are
expected on Friday as the deep moisture remains in place. Over the
weekend, moisture levels are expected to decrease as the upper low
moves into southern Arizona and weakens. A few scattered storms are
still possible on Saturday, but coverage will be less and mainly
confined to eastern areas of the CWA. Mainly dry conditions are
expected from Sunday on with a few isolated storms possible over far
eastern portions of the CWA.
The increased moisture levels across the area today and tomorrow
will help to keep maximum temperatures below normal. Some places,
including Las Vegas, are not expected to see highs exceed 100
degrees F on both days (there is a 60 percent chance that Las Vegas
will remain below 100 degrees F today). As the low mentioned above
weakens over the weekend, temperatures will rebound, but only to
near-normal levels. As of now, readings are expected to remain right
around normal through the middle of next week.

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 12Z Forecast Package...The
primary concern this period will be thunderstorms, mainly in the
afternoon and early evening. Any storms in the valley could produce
lightning and brief downpours resulting in MVFR or IFR conditions,
while even distant storms could impact the terminal with gusty,
erratic outflow winds. Otherwise, southerly winds will prevail
outside of storms, with sustained speeds of 10 to 12 knots and gusts
of 15 to 20 knots from late morning through the evening. VFR
conditions and ceilings around 12K to 15K feet are expected away
from storms, with clouds and winds decreasing overnight.
For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...For the 12Z Forecast Package...The primary concern this
period will be thunderstorms. Chances for storms will begin in
southern Mohave County early this morning and spread northwest
through the day, affecting much of Mohave, Clark, and Lincoln
counties this afternoon, as well as eastern Nye, extreme southeast
Inyo, and eastern San Bernardino counties. The main threats will be
brief downpours which could result in MVFR or IFR conditions, and
gusty, erratic outflow winds which could travel tens of miles from
thunderstorms. Away from storms, south to southwest winds gusting 15
to 25 knots will be common around the region this afternoon, and VFR
conditions are expected.
&&
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report
any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating
procedures.
