KEY MESSAGES
* BREEZY-TO-GUSTY AFTERNOONS CONTINUE THROUGH THE WORK WEEK AS
TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY CLIMB BACK TOWARD SEASONAL NORMALS.
DISCUSSION
THROUGH SUNDAY.
A LINGERING TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN US WILL KEEP WINDS ELEVATED AND
TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE WORK WEEK. HIGHS TODAY WILL BE
8-12 DEGREES BELOW CLIMATOLOGY, BUT TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
SLOWLY CLIMB DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD, REACHING SEASONABLE
VALUES BY THE WEEKEND. SOUTHWEST BREEZES CONTINUE EACH AFTERNOON,
STRONGEST ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WHEN WIDESPREAD GUSTS OF 20-35
MPH ARE LIKELY (80%). CHANCES OF WIND IMPACTS APPEAR TO BE QUITE
LIMITED, WITH THE MAIN CONCERNS BEING ELEVATED FIRE DANGER AND
INCREASED WAVES ON THE LOCAL LAKES. PRECIPITATION CHANCES (20-60%)
ARE CONFINED TO NORTHWESTERN INYO COUNTY TODAY. DRY LOW LEVELS
WILL KEEP ANY PRECIPITATION LIGHT, BUT MAY INDUCE GUSTY OUTFLOW
WINDS AND ISOLATED DRY LIGHTNING. BEYOND THAT, PRECIPITATION
CHANCES REMAIN BELOW 10% ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
AVIATION...FOR HARRY REID...FOR THE 18Z FORECAST PACKAGE
GUSTY
NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO SUBSIDE THIS MORNING AS
WIND SPEEDS GENERALLY FALL TO 10 KNOTS OR LESS. AN OCCASIONAL
GUST TO 15-18 KNOTS CAN'T BE RULED OUT THROUGH AROUND 22Z. WINDS
WILL SHIFT TO A NORTHEAST THROUGH EAST DIRECTION, BECOMING
SOUTHEASTERLY BETWEEN 20Z AND 23Z. WINDS WILL THEN SHIFT TO A
WESTERLY DIRECTION BY 05Z TO 06Z THEN SETTLE TO MORE SOUTHWESTERLY
OVERNIGHT. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO PEAK IN THE MID 90S THIS
AFTERNOON.
FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA, NORTHWEST ARIZONA AND SOUTHEAST
CALIFORNIA...FOR THE 18Z FORECAST PACKAGE...ASIDE FROM KBIH AND
KDAG, WHERE WINDS ARE FOLLOWING MOSTLY DIURNAL PATTERNS, NORTHERLY
WINDS PERSIST THIS MORNING. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE AT KEED AND
KIFP, WHERE GUSTY NORTH WINDS HAVE AFFECTED THE COLORADO RIVER
VALLEY. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY WORK TOWARDS MORE DIURNAL PATTERNS
LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT, HOWEVER A FEW GUSTS OF 20 TO 30 KNOTS
WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY AT KBIH THIS AFTERNOON, AND
KIFP/KEED. ADDITIONALLY, A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE SIERRA CREST. THIS MAY EVENTUALLY AFFECT KBIH,
WHERE VCSH HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE 18Z TAF. ANY SHOWERS WILL PRODUCT
GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS. FROM 00Z ON, A MORE DIURNAL WIND PATTERN
IS EXPECTED AT ALL TERMINALS WITH KDAG BEING THE BREEZY OUTLIER
WITH GUSTY WEST WINDS OVERNIGHT. OTHERWISE, WINDS LOOK TO REMAIN
IN THE 10-15 KNOT OR LESS RANGE.
