The National Weather Service in Las Vegas issued a Wind Advisory for Western Clark County at 10:31 a.m. Friday. It stays in effect until 7 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 14. The advisory also covers Esmeralda County, Central Nye County and Southern Nye County.
Forecasters expect south winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. The weather service said the gusts will blow around unsecured objects, and tree limbs could come down. A few power outages may result.
Residents in the advisory area can use the hours before the winds peak to bring in or tie down loose items such as patio furniture, trash bins and holiday decorations. Anyone driving should expect gusty crosswinds, and people should stay clear of downed limbs and power lines.
The weather service's forecast discussion, issued at 10:07 a.m., said a trough and low pressure moving into the region would bring strong southerly winds from mid to late morning. Precipitation was expected to follow close behind. The discussion said the strongest winds would favor higher elevations before spreading to the lower valleys in the eastern parts of the forecast area.
Rain is not expected to amount to much in the desert valleys. Forecasters pointed to rain shadowing and a poor moisture feed, though higher elevations could see measurable amounts. For Harry Reid International Airport, the forecast called for gusty southeast winds late this morning that turn southwest this afternoon, with peak gusts of 20 to 25 knots. Winds should become less gusty in the evening but stay above 10 knots, then strengthen again in the early morning hours.
Winds are expected to ease through Saturday, and rain should exit that night. Sunday looks calmer.
More unsettled weather is on the way. Rain is expected to become widespread Monday afternoon east of the Sierra Nevada, with light to moderate rates. Totals from Monday into Tuesday are forecast at 0.10 to 0.25 inch for most of the region. Northeast Clark County, Mohave County and Lincoln County could see 0.30 to 1.0 inch. Wednesday should bring a pause, and another batch of showers is due early Thursday and could linger into next Friday.
