AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
449 PM MDT FRI SEP 15 2006

.SYNOPSIS...A COLD PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE STATE THROUGH TOMORROW. HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT
WILL RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS
SOUTHWESTERN WYOMING AND THE NORTHERN HALF OF UTAH THIS AFTERNOON
AHEAD OF THE STRONG PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WHICH IS ENTERING
WESTERN UTAH AT THIS TIME. THE STORMS WILL CONTINUE DEVELOP INTO
THIS EVENING...AND SOME COULD PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM FOR
MUCH OF UTAH.

SURFACE FRONT STRETCHES FROM THE CA/NV BORDER TO SALT LAKE CITY
TO BIG PINEY WY. THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN UTAH WITHIN THE NEXT FEW
HOURS...PUSHING DOWN TO THE UT/AZ BORDER BY SATURDAY MORNING.
WINDS HAVE PICKED UP SIGNIFICANTLY ACROSS THE
STATE...PARTICULARLY IN SOUTHWESTERN UTAH WHERE A HIGH WIND
WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED UNTIL 9 PM. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
DECREASE TO BELOW WARNING/ADVISORY CRITERIA AS THE FRONT PASSES
THROUGH. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP SIGNIFICANTLY BEHIND THE
FRONT...WITH 700 MB TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE -4 TO -6C
RANGE IN NORTHERN UTAH. HIGH TEMPERATURES ALONG THE WASATCH FRONT
TOMORROW WILL BE 20 TO 25F COOLER THAN THEY WERE YESTERDAY...AND
HIGH TEMPERATURES 10 DEGREES COOLER WILL REACH AS FAR SOUTH AS
ST. GEORGE.

SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP TO AROUND 8000 FT OVER NORTHERN UTAH AS THE
FRONT PASSES...AND SOME HIGHER ELEVATION LOCATIONS WILL SEE 4 TO
6 INCH ACCUMULATIONS TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. PRECIPITATION
WILL BE ALL RAIN IN THE VALLEYS...THOUGH THE BENCHES COULD SEE
RAIN MIX WITH SNOW IN HEAVIER PRECIPITATION. PRECIPITATION IN THE
VALLEYS WILL MOSTLY TAPER OFF BY MIDNIGHT WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE
FRONT...THOUGH SOME SHOWERS MAY LINGER INTO SATURDAY MORNING. GSL
TEMPERATURE FROM THE LATEST AVHRR IMAGE IS ABOUT 17C. WITH COLD
AIR MOVING INTO PLACE...THREAT EXISTS FOR LAKE EFFECT BANDING
SATURDAY MORNING. PRECIPITATION WILL STICK AROUND A BIT LONGER IN
THE MOUNTAINS...AND SOME SHOWERS COULD LINGER INTO SUNDAY
MORNING.

A WEAK RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE AREA BEGINNING SUNDAY AS THE STORM
SYSTEM EXITS THE AREA...AND THIS SHOULD STICK AROUND UNTIL
TUESDAY BEFORE THE NEXT TROUGH APPROACHES THE AREA. MODELS
INDICATE THAT THIS MAY PASS A COLD FRONT AS FAR SOUTH AS NORTHERN
UTAH ON WEDNESDAY ALONG WITH SOME PRECIPITATION...BUT IT MAY
REMAIN TOO FAR NORTH TO PRODUCE ANY SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS IN THE
CWA. THIS FAR OUT...THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY WITH
RESPECT TO THE SYSTEM AND SO FAR HAVE ONLY ADDED ISOLATED POPS TO
THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS.

&&

.AVIATION...IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE LIKELY BETWEEN 23 AND 01Z DUE TO
PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN AND AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM. THE MID LEVEL
TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE THROUGH BY 03Z BUT THE COLD POCKET AT UPPER
LEVELS WILL NOT MOVE THROUGH UNTIL LATE SATURDAY MORNING. THEREFORE
THE THREAT OF SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE DUE TO POSSIBLE LAKE EFFECT OFF
OF THE GREAT SALT LAKE. THERE IS ABOUT A 40 PERCENT POSSIBILITY OF
SHOWERS AFFECTING THE AIRPORT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...STRONG WINDS ARE OCCURRING OVER MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA...WITH SEVERE FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS BEING REPORTED
IN PARTS OF EXTREME SOUTHWEST UTAH. RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN
EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT IN THE VICINITY OF UTAHS DIXIE. BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT...RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL RISE ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS
AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND DECREASES.
