AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
1030 AM MDT SUN JUN 18 2006

.SYNOPSIS...UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE
GREAT BASIN TODAY.  A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL UTAH MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY.  A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK OVER THE REGION THE LATTER PART OF THE
WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...WEAK SHORTWAVE THAT MOVED THROUGH THE RIDGE ACROSS
MONTANA AND WYOMING LAST NIGHT WAS JUST ENOUGH TO CAUSE A MORE
WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT TO BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING. THE
SURFACE HIGH THAT BUILT IN BEHIND THIS SHORT WAVE HAS CAUSED A
LITTLE STRONGER NORTH TO SOUTH SURFACE GRADIENT ACROSS THE STATE
THIS MOURNING AND WILL LIKELY PREVENT TEMPERATURES FROM REACHING
THEIR FULL POTENTIAL DUE TO THIS SHALLOW LAYER OF STABLE
AIR...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH. THE GSL DESERT OBSERVATION SITES
SHOWING SOME NORTH WINDS GUSTING BETWEEN 15-20 MPH THIS MORNING
SUPPORTING THIS CURRENT GRADIENT. THIS REDUCES THE THREAT OF
SOUTHERLY WINDS MIXING DOWN AND INCREASING VERY MUCH AT ALL THIS
AFTERNOON SINCE THEY WILL BE FIGHTING THIS NORTHERLY SURFACE
GRADIENT. THEREFORE WILL BACK OFF ON MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ACROSS
NORTHERN THIRD OF THE AREA FOR TODAY. REST OF PACKAGE APPEARS TO BE
IN GOOD SHAPE.

&&

.AVIATION...KSLC AREA VERY LIKELY WILL SEE A SLIGHTLY EARLIER SEA
BREEZE TODAY DUE TO THE BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TO THE NORTH.
HOWEVER...BY TONIGHT THE DIURNAL SOUTHEAST DRAINAGE SHOULD BE
ENHANCED DUE TO THE APPROACHING SYSTEM FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...MORNING MODELS SHOW MARGINAL RED FLAG CONDITIONS ARE
STILL POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHWESTERN UT THIS AFTERNOON. ISOLATED
PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL UT ALONG THE AZ BORDER COULD ALSO GET
CLOSE BUT THERE IS NO REAL SUPPORT FOR CRITICAL CONDITIONS OVER
NORTHWEST UT. THAT SAID...AM EXTREMELY RELUCTANT TO CANCEL THE RED
FLAG WARNING UNTIL IT BECOMES OBVIOUS THAT CONDITIONS WILL NOT
DEVELOP...AND WE WONT KNOW THAT UNTIL THE AFTERNOON. SUPPORT FOR
WIDESPREAD CRITICAL CONDITIONS IS MUCH BETTER TOMORROW WITH STRONGER
WINDS ALOFT AND A MORE FAVORABLE SURFACE GRADIENT. ALTHO THE
EXPECTED COLD FRONT WILL BE INTO CENTRAL UT BY LATE MONDAY...IT
APPEARS THAT WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL STILL BE FAIRLY STRONG OVER
THE NORTHWEST DESERTS AND HUMIDITIES WONT RECOVER UNTIL MONDAY
NIGHT. SO THE EXPANSION OF THE WATCH INTO ZONE 420 FOR MONDAY IS
REASONABLE. ALSO...THERE IS A THREAT OF ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORMS
ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF THE FRONT...AND SOUTHERN ZONE 420 WOULD BE
INCLUDED IN THIS THREAT.

HIGHER HUMIDITIES OVER THE NORTH AND LESS WIND AREA-WIDE WILL
GREATLY REDUCE THE THREAT OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TUE
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. HOWEVER...ISOLATED AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING CONVECTION WILL BECOME POSSIBLE OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN UT.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...RED FLAG WARNING FROM NOON TO 900 PM TODAY FOR FIRE
     WEATHER ZONES 420-434-435-437 AND 439.
     FIRE WEATHER WATCH MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY EVENING
     FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 420-431>434-436>441 AND 445>448
WY...NONE.
