.KEY MESSAGES...

* Breezy south-southwesterly wind gusts will continue through the
  week with dry conditions and near-normal temperatures.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Persistent troughing across the Western US will keep
the region in a generally dry and breezy pattern through much of
the upcoming week. In the near term, a trough will eject into the
Northern Plains today before additional troughing drops south
along the Pacific Northwest Coast by midweek. This will keep the
Mojave Desert and southern Great Basin region in a southwesterly
flow aloft, favoring breezy conditions in the afternoons and any
lingering monsoonal moisture focused more across central and
eastern Arizona. A few isolated thunderstorms may develop across
eastern Mohave County through midweek, but coverage is expected
to be quite limited.

Otherwise, thanks to the pattern at hand, temperatures will remain
near seasonal normals through the period. The flow pattern will
trend more zonal by the weekend allowing for the gusty winds to
ease while temperatures remain near normal.

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 00Z Forecast Package...
Overall normal daily summertime wind pattern expected through the
TAF period with breezy afternoon and evenings and lighter winds at
night. SW winds 10-15kt with gusts 20-25kt continue through around
sunset this evening, then gusts drop off for the overnight hours
while S-SW winds diminish to 08-10kt. Brief period of SE-S winds
expected around 16z before a quick wind shift to S-SW 10-15kt with
isolated gusts over 25kt at times during the afternoon Tuesday. by
VFR conditions prevail, with temperatures briefly reaching a high of
100 degrees around 23Z-00Z.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...For the 00Z Forecast Package...Overall daily wind
patterns expected at most sites through the TAF period, with a few
exceptions. For the rest of today, S-SW winds with gusts 20-25kt
continue through sunset then diminish some for the overnight hours.
Guidance shows the potential for elevated winds near 10-12kt
overnight with isolated higher gusts at KIFP and KEED. KBIH is also
an exception as winds have been light and VRB much of the day.
Expect a brief period of SE-S winds through sunset, then a shift
toward light NW flow tonight. Higher confidence does exist in
stronger SE-S winds 10-15kt with gusts to 25kt at KBIH during the
afternoon and evening Tuesday. KDAG remains light and VRB out of the
NE, but expect the daily WSW push to occur 00z-02z and persist
through 09-10z. VFR conditions will prevail, with isolated
thunderstorms expected over portions of northwestern Arizona this
afternoon that are unlikely to cause any impacts at area terminals.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report
any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating
