AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
149 AM PST SUN NOV 23 2025
KEY MESSAGES
* NEAR-NORMAL TEMPERATURES, MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, AND AFTERNOON
NORTHERLY BREEZES FOR THE WEEK AHEAD UNTIL A PATTERN SHIFT OVER
THE WEEKEND RETURNS UNSETTLED WEATHER TO THE REGION.
DISCUSSION
TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
A CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN PACIFIC OCEAN WILL
EXTEND AN ASSOCIATED RIDGE ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE
WEEK AHEAD. THIS WILL RESULT IN MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, DRY CONDITIONS,
NEAR-NORMAL TEMPERATURES, AND LIGHT NORTHERLY BREEZES IN THE
AFTERNOONS. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, WHEN A
SHORTWAVE PERTURBATION ALONG THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL INCREASE
PRESSURE GRADIENTS AND COMBINE WITH TOPOGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT TO BRING
25-35 MPH WIND GUSTS TO THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER VALLEY. IF PLANNING
TO RECREATE ON LAKE MOHAVE THIS WEEK, CHECK THE FORECAST BEFORE
HEADING OUT, AS WAVE HEIGHTS IN EXCESS OF 1.5 FEET COULD CREATE
HAZARDOUS BOATING CONDITIONS FOR SMALL CRAFT. OVER THE WEEKEND,
ENSEMBLE MEANS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN THE APPROACH OF ANOTHER
CLOSED LOW SYSTEM. HOWEVER, DETAILS SUCH AS TIMING, TRAJECTORY,
MOISTURE CONTENT, AND STRENGTH ARE STILL TO BE DETERMINED. MINOR
SHIFTS IN THE TRAJECTORY COULD RESULT IN EITHER AN INSIDE SLIDER
(WIND EVENT) OR A SIMILAR SET-UP AS WE EXPERIENCED THIS PAST WEEK
(DESERT RAIN). IF TRAVELING OVER THE WEEKEND FOLLOWING THANKSGIVING,
BE SURE TO CHECK THE FORECAST BEFORE SOLIDIFYING TRAVEL PLANS.
