.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 18Z Forecast Package...20 to 30
knot northerly wind gusts will persist through later this afternoon
when gusts will decrease and winds will become more north-
northeasterly. These 10 to 15 knot sustained north-northeastelry
winds will continue into the evening hours when winds will decrease
in magnitude and shift back to a more north-northwesterly direction.
Northeasterly winds will return again on late Thursday morning. VFR
conditions will persist with FEW mid-clouds AOA 10 kft through the
afternoon.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...For the 18Z Forecast Package...20 to 30 knot
northerly wind gusts will continue across southern Nevada,
northwestern Arizona, and down the Colorado River Valley through
later this afternoon. Northerly wind gusts will continue to impact
southeastern California, but will be in the 15 to 25 knot range.
With the exception of IFP where winds will remain elevated
overnight with intermittent gusts, wind gusts will drop off across
the region during the early evenings. Winds will tend to favor a
northerly direction through the overnight hours, but may become
more variable at times. VFR conditions will prevail through the
TAF period with bands of mid and high clouds AOA 10 kft moving
from north to south, clearing through this evening.
