.DISCUSSION...through Sunday.



As the weekend trough pushes off to our east, high pressure builds 

across the eastern Great Basin and northern Rockies. The resultant N-

S pressure gradient will drive northerly breezes for the first half 

of the week. Most days and locations, gusts of 15-25 mph can be 

expected. However, as the gradient maximizes on Tuesday, so too will 

the winds. Strongest winds are expected in the lower Colorado River 

Valley, where gusts of 30-40 mph are likely (50-70%). Main concern 

will be increased waves and hazardous boating on the lakes. Winds 

subside in the second half of the week.



Beyond the winds, expecting quite pleasant conditions across the 

region as high pressure builds. Temperatures are forecast to run 

near or slightly above normal for late October, with most locations 

topping out in the 70s and 80s. Dry conditions prevail as 

precipitation chances remain below 10%.

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 06Z Forecast Package...Winds 

will be the main concern through Monday. A weak cold front will move 

through the valley overnight, but at this time, winds are not 

expected to show much of a response. Expect southwest winds to 

diminish around 10z with winds becoming light and variable through 

17z. It is possible that a period of northwest winds up to 7 knots 

will occur during that time, but it is expected to remain brief. 

After 17z, winds will become more northeast with the most likely 

scenario is for sustained speeds around eight knots, but a few gusts 

around 15 knots cannot be ruled out. Winds should go light and 

variable around sunset Monday. VFR conditions will prevail.



For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast 

California...For the 06Z Forecast Package...Winds will be the main 

concern through Monday. Gusty west winds will prevail around KDAG 

through  A weak cold front will push south through the southern 

Great Basin and the northern Mojave Desert tonight into Monday 

morning, shifting winds to a north to northeasterly direction. The 

strongest gusts of 15 to 20 knots will likely be in the Colorado 

River Valley, with gusts around 15 knots or less elsewhere. VFR 

conditions will prevail.
