MOJAVE DESERT/SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV
315 AM PDT TUE OCT 9 2001

SYNOPSIS...A WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT 
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY...BRINGING COOLER TEMPERATURES AND 
BREEZY CONDITIONS. MORE COOL AIR WILL MOVE IN LATE ON THURSDAY AS 
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AFFECTS THE REGION. 

DISCUSSION...WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH PASSING LOW 
PRESSURE SYSTEM HAS MANAGED TO KICK OFF SOME SHOWERS OVER THE ELKO 
CWA AND ALSO SOUTHWEST UTAH. THE SYSTEM MAY INTERACT WITH REMNANT 
MOISTURE OVER NORTHWEST ARIZONA FOR AN ISOLATED POSSIBLE STORM THERE 
TODAY. ELSEWHERE...A DRY AND BREEZY DAY IS ON TAP.

WINDS WILL BE CHALLENGING TO FORECAST AS THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO 
STALL A BIT TODAY. HOWEVER...IT SHOULD SLIDE DOWN ACROSS THE ENTIRE 
CWA BY WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL LOWER SEVERAL DEGREES TODAY AND 
WEDNESDAY BEFORE RECOVERING THE REST OF THE WEEK.

THE NEXT SYSTEM IS SET TO AFFECT THE REGION ON THURSDAY. THIS SYSTEM 
SHOULD HAVE JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS OVER THE 
NORTHERN CWA. ONCE AGAIN...THE SOUTHERN CWA WILL LIKELY BE SPARED 
ANY PRECIPITATION. RIDGING TAKES PLACE ON FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY FOR 
A MODEST AND GRADUAL WARMUP.

.LAS...NONE.
