.DISCUSSION...Today through Tuesday.

Shower and storm activity looks to build this afternoon in Mohave Co
with initial convection starting southeast of Lake Havasu and
spreading north through the late afternoon, and reaching Lincoln Co
into the night. Fairly strong CAPE is making a good environment for
thunderstorm growth, but the lack of sheer may prevent some storms
from reaching severe status. The main threat from these storms looks
to be the potential for flooding as storms could train over certain
areas. Additional threats will be frequent lighting and locally
strong gusts from stronger cells. While Mohave and Lincoln counties
look to be the focus of the convection, isolated cells could cross
into Clark Co, along with a few storms building along higher terrain
in western Clark Co into Nye Co. Shower activity will stay with
Lincoln and Clark counties through the night and through much of
Thursday morning before dissipating.


The active weather this afternoon and through the night comes along
a pattern shift with a low passing over the area and a period of
troughing to follow. This pattern will favor windy conditions today
and tonight with widespread winds reaching 20 mph and gusts peaking
around 35 mph. Some of the favored gaps and passes along with higher
terrain could briefly exceed 40 mph gusts. Winds look to reduce
slightly for most areas into the night, but the higher terrain will
stay windy. Widespread gusts will pickup again Thursday afternoon,
but uniformly reduce that night. Friday afternoon looks to be breezy
as well, but overall winds ease into the weekend itself. The
troughing pattern will keep high temperatures close to average for
this time of year, but lows will still trend on the warmer side.
