432 FXUS65 KVEF 290637 AFDVEF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Las Vegas NV 1137 PM PDT Sun Jun 28 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... * Breezy-to-gusty afternoons continue through the work week as temperatures gradually climb back toward seasonal normals. && .DISCUSSION...Today through Independence Day. The western CONUS will remain situated beneath an upper-level trough through the work week. This pattern is conducive for shortwave troughs to move through the flow aloft, bringing with them breezy afternoons. In addition to breezy conditions, the region will remain quite dry, so those recreating outdoors with sparks or flames (charcoal grills, safe-and-sane fireworks, target practice) are encouraged to exercise caution and ensure there is a bucket of water nearby to prevent any fire starts. That said, there are slight chances (10-30 percent) of showers and thunderstorms in the eastern Sierra / northern Owens Valley this afternoon. Forecast HRRR soundings show a pronounced inverted-V, though, indicating there is substantial dry air at the surface. As a result, convection is unlikely to result in widespread wetting rain; fire starts due to dry lightning cannot be ruled out, as well as strong gusty winds from the direction of storms that form. Temperatures will gradually climb through the week, reaching near-normal readings by Friday. Late-week, ridging builds back over northern Mexico and the southern United States, allowing temperatures to climb above-normal for the holiday weekend. && .AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 06Z Forecast Package...Northwest winds will continue to gust to around 20KT through around 10Z.after 10Z, the probability for winds over 10KT quickly drops to under 10% through the rest of the night as northeast winds drop to around 8KT.
