.DISCUSSION...through the weekend.



This afternoons satellite imagery depicts mostly clear skies

across the region with just some passing high cirrus as the 

primary storm track remains well to our north. Otherwise, pleasant

conditions continue today with seasonably mild temperatures and 

generally light winds. The exception is along the Colorado River 

Valley where north-south pressure gradients are inducing breezy 

northerly winds near Lake Mohave and Laughlin - and will continue

through much of the week. Meanwhile, as high pressure builds into

the Western US, temperatures will increase daily and climb to 

within a few degrees of daily records. This dry and mild pattern 

looks to remain locked in through much of Mid- December, with no 

opportunities for precipitation in the foreseeable future.

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 00Z Forecast Package...Winds

will follow typical diurnal directional patterns through the 

forecast period, remaining light with speeds under 8KT. Bands of 

high clouds around 25kft are expected, with VFR conditions 

prevailing.



For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast 

California...For the 00Z Forecast Package...Across the region, 

winds will generally remain under 10KT, following typical terrain-

driven and diurnal directional patterns. The exception will be 

along portions of the Lower Colorado River Valley in the vicinity 

of IFP, where channeling of winds will result in speeds around 

15KT with intermittent gusts to 20-25KT mid morning through mid 

afternoon. VFR conditions otherwise prevail with bands of high 

clouds around 25kft. Similar conditions will continue Tuesday.
