Southern Nevada and nearby areas are preparing for weather changes, with the National Weather Service forecasting strong winds and cooler temperatures. Winds are expected to exceed 40 mph, and the western Mojave Desert in southern California may see isolated to scattered showers, mainly on Saturday, which is expected to be the coldest day of the forecast.
The
National Weather Service
explains that the ongoing weather is caused by a trough moving inland across central and southern California. As it moves, it will affect the southern Great Basin and Mojave Desert through Saturday night. Precipitation will remain low, except on the southern Sierra crest, where up to a third of an inch may accumulate. Snow levels will drop to around 5000 feet, but little accumulation is expected, except on vegetative surfaces, as warmer road surfaces should prevent snow buildup.
The
National Weather Service
has issued a Wind Advisory from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for the western Mojave Desert of San Bernardino County due to strong winds. Gusty winds may cause dusty conditions and potential travel disruptions. As the trough moves out, north winds will increase by Saturday night, bringing another round of brisk conditions.
Cool temperatures will persist until early next week, when another system moves through. Highs are expected to remain 5-10 degrees below normal for mid-November. This system may slightly increase precipitation chances and wind speeds, especially in parts of Lincoln, Mohave, and western San Bernardino counties. However, a strengthening ridge later in the week will bring warmer temperatures and more settled conditions.
Aviators should be aware of changing conditions, with gusty winds expected around Harry Reid airport and other terminals. Southwesterly winds with gusts up to 25-30 knots will continue through the afternoon, potentially causing high clouds and localized blowing dust across the valley. While this is not expected to impact the Terminal Aerodrome Forecast immediately, pilots are advised to remain alert to evolving conditions.

encourages spotters to report any significant weather observations following the standard operating procedure.
