.DISCUSSION...through next weekend.

A weak low over southern Arizona is sparking off scattered showers
and thunderstorms across the mountainous terrain of northern
Arizona. Some of those showers continue to wrap westward into
eastern Mohave county where brief light rain and gusty winds can
be expected through early this evening. Activity will die off
quickly by sunset as the low moves eastward and nocturnal
stability increases.

A much stronger low will drop southward out of the Pacific
Northwest tomorrow, settling into the Lake Tahoe area by Tuesday
evening. This approaching low will result in height falls through
the day and increasingly gusty southerly winds across much of the
region. High NBM and HREF probabilities for winds greater than 40
mph are fairly vast through early Wednesday morning, particularly
for across southern Nevada and eastern California. In addition,
the ECMWF EFI tool which highlights especially anomalous wind
forecasts compared to seasonal climatology is suggesting very
windy conditions across these same areas. Went ahead and expanded
the wind advisories to cover much of the above mentioned areas and
nudged forward the start time to 17z. Strong winds will result in
weather impacts related to blowing dust, strong crosswinds, and
dangerous boating conditions in the area.

Sharply cooler weather will follow Wednesday and Thursday as the
low remains parked across the CA/NV region. Below normal
temperatures are expected both days with scattered shower and
thunderstorm activity expected across the southern Great Basin and
Sierra/Owens Valley.

Improving conditions are expected over the weekend as the low
weakens allowing temperatures to climb and dry conditions to
resume areawide.
