.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 12Z Forecast Package...For most 

of the period, winds remain below 10 knots and follow their typical, 

directional patterns. Best chances for 10+ knots is between 16z and 

22z with a 40% probability. If they do exceed this threshold, the 

direction will be between 010 and 070. Winds weaken in the late 

afternoon and early evening as they turn back to the west. There is 

some uncertainty in the overnight period as we may see a push of 

northeast winds (40% chance). Mostly clear skies with just a few 

high clouds.



For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast 

California...For the 12Z Forecast Package...Light winds this morning 

give way to northerly breezes this afternoon and evening. Speeds 

generally 6-12 knots, with a few gusts up to 20 knots possible where 

terrain enhancement occurs. Late tonight into Tuesday, northerly 

winds are expected to increase along and south of the I-15 corridor. 

Mostly clear skies with just a few high clouds.
