.KEY MESSAGES...

* Dry and mild weather will return to the region starting tomorrow.

.DISCUSSION...through Tuesday.

The Lake Wind Advisory for Lake Mead and Lake Mohave will remain in
effect through 6:00 pm PST / 7:00 MST this evening. 15 to 25 mph
northerly winds accompanied by wind gusts up to 35 to 40 mph have
been observed over the southern portion of Lake Mohave, extending
south towards Needles, CA. These winds will result in choppy waves
between 1 to 3 feet, making for hazardous boating conditions for
smaller watercraft. Outside of the Lake Mead National Recreation
Area, breezy northerly winds will continue through the afternoon
before decreasing during the evening and overnight hours. Northerly
winds will linger down the Colorado River Valley tomorrow,
decreasing as we head into the weekend.

As the shortwave responsible for today`s breezy north winds clears
out of the Southwestern US tomorrow, we will find ourselves under
dry, northwesterly flow aloft. This northwesterly flow will
persist through early next week as the high amplitude ridge
remains parked in the Gulf of Alaska. This northwesterly flow will
allow for dry conditions to persist and temperatures to gradually
warm back with warmer than normal temperatures returning over the
weekend.

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 06Z Forecast Package...Winds
have generally diminished across the valley and are expected to
remain below 8 knots through the overnight period. There could be a
brief shift to the northwest between 08-12z, but confidence remains
low and winds will likely remain southwest to variable. Winds should
go northeasterly around midday Thursday, with speeds remaining below
10 knots at least 90 percent of the time. VFR conditions through the
period.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...For the 06Z Forecast Package...Winds have diminished
and most locations will see winds overnight less than 10 knots. The
exception will be around KIFP and KEED where winds 10-15 knots will
remain along with a few gusts approaching 20 knots. On Thursday,
winds will remain north to northeast across most areas with winds
generally between 10-20 knots. VFR conditions through the period.
