Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV

.KEY MESSAGES...

* Quiet and pleasant conditions anticipated through Friday.

* Cooler conditions and a chance of showers returns late Friday
  into Saturday, with a stronger system poised to affect the
  region early next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...through next Tuesday.

Pleasant and mild conditions will continue through most of the
week as a large ridge of high pressure expands across the Western
US. This will allow temperatures to remain several degrees above
normal through Thursday with generally light winds. Exception will
be along the Colorado River Valley where sporadic northerly
breezes will remain focused as surface high pressure builds across
the Great Basin.

Changes begin to arrive late week into the weekend as a closed low
approaches off the Eastern Pacific. The general expectation is
for this low to remain to the south of the International border,
keeping its impacts to our region limited. However, it will be
nudged along by a stronger shortwave that scrapes northern
California and the Great Basin Friday night into Saturday. This
secondary wave will bring chances for light snow in the Sierra,
as well as some shower potential to the region, mainly for areas
north of I-40. Thereafter, shortwave ridging will build back in by
late Saturday into Sunday before a stronger trough arrives early
next week with renewed shower potential.
