AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
345 PM MDT MON JUL 26 2004

.SYNOPSIS...WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA
THROUGH FRIDAY AS A TROUGH DEVELOPS ACROSS THE NORTHERN HIGH
PLAINS.  MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA
THROUGH TUESDAY WITH SLOW DRYING FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR
SOUTHEAST UTAH THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING AS STORMS DEVELOPED
SOME IMPRESSIVE RATES BUT SO FAR THE RAIN AMOUNTS HAVE NOT BEEN SO
GREAT AS MOST STORMS HAVE BEEN PULSE TYPE STORMS. THE FLOW REMAINS
FROM THE NORTHWEST ACROSS SOUTHERN UTAH SO ANY STRONG STORMS WILL BE
TRAVELING DOWN STREAM FOR MOST TRIBUTARIES IN THAT AREA WHICH COULD
EXACERBATE THE FLOODING THE POTENTIAL. PWS CONTINUE TO BE NEAR 1.0
NEAR LAKE POWELL REGION ACCORDING TO THE GOES SOUNDER.

IN THE NORTH A SHORTWAVE IS MOVING ALONG THE IDAHO-UTAH BORDER THIS
EVENING. THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE MORE WIND PRODUCERS RATHER THAN
HEAVY RAIN AS THE INVERTED-V TYPE SOUNDING IS PREVALENT ACROSS
NORTHERN UTAH. THE 500-700 THETA RIDGE AXIS...ALBEIT SOMEWHAT
BROAD...IS LOCATED OVER NORTHERN AND WESTERN UTAH THIS EVENING SO
THERE WILL BE A FAIR CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS.

MOISTURE WILL BE SLOW TO DECREASE OVER THE CWA UNTIL A SHORT WAVE IN
THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SWINGS ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS
SHOULD CLEAR OUT MOST OF THE AREA BUT NOT COMPLETELY AS A BAND OF
MIDLEVEL CONVERGENCE REMAINS OVER SOUTHERN UTAH WEDNESDAY. THIS
CONVERGENCE AREA NUDGES NORTHWARD INTO CENTRAL UTAH BY THURSDAY AND
POSSIBLY INTO NORTHERN UTAH FRIDAY. A DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS
OVER SOUTHERN UTAH LATE THIS WEEK AND MOVES NORTHWARD ACROSS MOST OF
THE CWA BY SATURDAY. SOME TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL LIKELY MOVE INTO
THE PICTURE BY LATER SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS THE FLOW BECOMES MORE
SOUTHERLY. BOTH THE EC/GFS AGREE ON THIS SCENARIO WITH THE UK
SLIGHTLY MORE SOUTHWESTERLY AND THUS DRIER.
