.DISCUSSION...Today through Saturday.

Today`s convection will be very similar to yesterday, but will have
more westward spread in comparison. The 06Z Las Vegas sounding shows
persistent upper-level moisture around 500 mb with around 0.75
inches of PWAT and a pronounced inverted-V, indicating that dry
lightning and gusty winds (35 to 45 mph) will continue to be the
primary concern for the day. In general, precipitation will largely
evaporate before it reaches the ground (virga), though cannot rule
out brief heavy rainfall and even small hail with stronger storms
that develop. Best chances of shower and thunderstorm activity (15-
30%) exist over the eastern Sierra Nevada as well as over the
mountains of Esmeralda, Nye, Lincoln, and northern Mohave counties,
though with 0.75-1.00 inches of PWAT and the help of orographic
lift, cannot completely rule out convection on any area mountains.
Convection will be more isolated on Monday as dry air moves into the
region.

Elevated heights over the western United States will allow afternoon
temperatures to remain 8 to 12 degrees above seasonal normals
through the rest of the weekend and first half of the work week.
Temperatures will peak on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, as
desert valleys experience widespread Major Heat Risk (Level 3 of 4)
with pockets of Extreme (Level 4 of 4). Locations such as the Las
Vegas Valley, Moapa Valley, Colorado River Valley, Morongo Valley,
and Death Valley can expect overnight lows in the mid-to-upper 80s,
which will exacerbate heat illness-related symptoms in those without
proper cooling. Late-week, temperatures will cool and wind gusts
will increase from the southwest each afternoon as a shortwave
trough pushes into the western CONUS.

south-southwest winds continue today, with gusts 20-25 knots likely
(80%). Winds wane after sunset, becoming light and variable Monday
morning. Southwest breezes possible again Monday afternoon, though

westerly winds expected across the region today with gusts generally
15-25 knots. Isolated to scattered convection anticipated over the
Sierra, southern Great Basin, and northwestern Arizona. Cloud bases
