AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
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.
