Broad shield of subtropical moisture and steady moderate to locally heavy rainfall has shifted eastward this afternoon to become focused more across eastern Arizona. Overnight rainfall totals across our region range from a tenth-of an inch or less across the Western Mojave Desert and the valleys of Inyo County, to roughly 0.25-0.75 across the eastern Mojave Desert including Las Vegas. The heaviest rainfall from the event has focused across eastern Lincoln and Mohave Counties, where widespread rainfall totals of 1.5-4 inches have been observed. Heavy rain across the Big Sandy watershed have led to near record flows in Burro Creek and the Big Sandy which are ongoing this afternoon. Modest instability developing ahead of the trough axis is currently fostering thunderstorm development across the Death Valley and Amargosa Valley regions that will continue to develop towards the Spring Mountains through the afternoon with localized heavy downpours. A few storms will also develop across northwest Arizona along a developing precipitation axis. All this activity will gradually wane through the evening with the loss of daytime heating and the trough axis shifting east. The remainder of the week ahead looks fairly benign with dry conditions. Temperatures will start out slightly below normal but climb slightly above normal by next weekend as heights rise across the region. Lookout for some patchy fog in the cooler valleys the next few mornings with ideal radiational cooling conditions taking place and elevated moisture levels persisting across the region. && .AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 06Z Forecast Package...
