.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.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report
