.DISCUSSION...Today through Wednesday.
Our next system remains on track to impact southeastern California,
southern Nevada, and northwestern Arizona tomorrow as a trough
swings through the area. This trough will bring gusty southwesterly
winds to the region, with multiple wind headlines in effect for
portions of San Bernardino County and the Spring Mountains of
southern Nevada, where 40+ mph wind gusts are expected throughout
the day tomorrow. Elsewhere, wind gusts will top out in the 30 to 40
mph range with isolated 40+ mph gusts possible in areas of higher
terrain. Starting early tomorrow morning, localized 40+ mph
southerly downslope winds are expected across Highway 95 near Desert
Rock-Mercury. However, due to the isolated nature of these winds, no
wind headlines have been issued at this time. Outside of winds, this
system will also bring a 30 to 60% chance of isolated showers to the
higher terrain of Inyo County and the Great Basin. With snow-levels
around 9,000 to 10,000 feet, precipitation is expected to fall as
rain outside of the Sierra Crest, where they will see their first
dusting of the season with an inch or two possible along the
ridgeline.
The progressive nature of this system means that it`ll be out of our
area by Saturday. In its wake, expect drier conditions, cooler
temperatures, and lighter breezes. Ensembles continue to indicate a
reloading/persistent trough over the western US through the middle
of next week, which means the aforementioned conditions are likely
to linger, albeit with a slight moderation in temperatures toward
seasonable values.
