NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
440 AM PDT WED JUL 30 2025
KEY MESSAGES
* DRY CONDITIONS, SEASONAL TEMPERATURES, AND AFTERNOON BREEZES WILL
CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK FOR MOST OF THE REGION WITH A FEW
EXCEPTIONS.
DISCUSSION
THROUGH TUESDAY.
MOST OF THE REGION WILL SEE DRY CONDITIONS AND SEASONAL TEMPERATURES
CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK AS SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW PERSISTS ALOFT. THE
EXCEPTION TO THIS WILL BE THE SIERRA CREST AND THE MOUNTAINS OF
ESMERALDA COUNTY WHERE ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH SWINGS THROUGH CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA AND INTO CENTRAL NEVADA. PREVIOUSLY, MOHAVE COUNTY WAS
ALSO AN EXCEPTION TO THE OPENING STATEMENT. HOWEVER, THE FORECAST
HAS SLOWLY TRENDED DRIER AND DRIER WITH EACH ITERATION AS
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW PREVENTS MOISTURE FROM MAKING IT THIS FAR WEST.
BREEZY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL PICK UP IN AFTERNOON TODAY AND
TOMORROW IN RESPONSE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED SHORTWAVE SWINGING
THROUGH CENTRAL CALIFORNIA AND CENTRAL NEVADA.
