Area Forecast Discussion

1225 PM PDT Wed Jun 11 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Above-normal temperatures persist through the forecast period,
bringing moderate HeatRisk to most locations.

- Breezy to gusty southwest winds expected in the afternoons, but
impacts do not appear likely.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Forecast high temperatures only fluctuate about 5
degrees over the next 7 days due a somewhat stagnant pattern. At
their lowest point, temperatures are still expected to be 2-4
degrees above normal for mid-June. These values will promote
widespread moderate HeatRisk across most of the Mojave Desert, with
a mix of moderate and minor in the southern Great Basin and higher
elevations.

The persistent pattern and southwesterly flow will result in
elevated southwest winds, especially during the afternoon hours.
Wind impacts do not appear likely at this time, with best odds
(~40%) across western San Bernardino County. Elsewhere, chances of
40+ mph gusts are below 30%. Potential for stronger wind arrives
early next week with the passage of a shortwave trough, but
uncertainty in the system`s track/intensity remains.

&&

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 18Z Forecast Package...South-
southwest winds persist through the TAF period, strongest during the
daytime hours and subsiding slightly overnight. Gusts generally 20-
25 knots. VFR conditions and mostly clear skies with just a few
shallow cumulus over the higher terrain in the afternoon.
Temperatures to exceed 100F between 18z and 04z, with a peak value
around 106F.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwestern Arizona and
southeastern California...For the 18Z Forecast Package...Southerly
to westerly winds resume today with gusts this afternoon generally
in the 20-30 knot range. Winds expected to gradually subside after
sunset but maintain their directions except at KBIH where light
