AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
345 PM MDT FRI AUG 25 2006

.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH
THROUGH SATURDAY...BRINGING IN NOTICEABLE COOLER AIR. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION SUNDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...LARGE SCALE ASCENT ACROSS THE EASTERN TWO-THIRDS OF
UTAH. POTENT SHORTWAVE AHEAD OF A CLOSED 500MB LOW OVER EASTERN
OREGON IS DIGGING SOUTHEASTWARD. UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE AND
INCREASING SHEAR OUT AHEAD OF THE TROUGH WORKING WITH DEEP MOISTURE
TO TRIGGER STRONG TO OCCASIONALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SALT
LAKE AND UTAH VALLEYS EASTWARD TO THE COLORADO BORDER. 12Z SOUNDING
SUPPORTED LARGE HAIL...BUT BUFR SOUNDINGS FOR THIS AFTERNOON
EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH WHERE THE MOIST AIR IS.
700-300MB SHEAR IN THE 40-50KT RANGE WOULD SUPPORT SOME ROTATING
STORMS AS WELL. EXPECT DYNAMICS TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP ACTIVITY
GOING WELL INTO THE NIGHT.

THE TROF EXITS THE STATE BY 12Z SATURDAY...BUT BY THEN COOLING ALOFT
WILL HAVE BEGUN AS THE CLOSED LOW APPROACHES. SLIGHT DIFFERENCES IN
THE NAM/GFS...WITH THE NAM BEING SLIGHTLY DEEPER AND A BIT SLOWER.
GENERALLY AGREEMENT ON A COOLER...UNSTABLE DAY ON SATURDAY. FREEZING
LEVEL LOWERS TO ABOUT 11500FT SAT AFTERNOON AT SLC. COULD SEE A GOOD
AMOUNT OF SMALL HAIL REPORTS WITH AFTERNOON CONVECTION UNDER THE
COLD UPPER LOW.

THE LOW ROTATES THROUGH SAT NIGHT...WITH DRIER NORTHWESTERLY FLOW
DOMINATING SUNDAY. UPPER RIDGING MOVES BODILY OVER THE STATE MONDAY.
STRONG RETURN FLOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE RIDGE MOVES IN TUESDAY
WITH THE GUIDANCE SUGGESTING A QUICK WARMUP...BACK TO THE LOW TO MID
90S FOR NORTHERN UTAH VALLEYS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DRY AIR CONTINUES TO MIX DOWN INTO THE SOUTHWEST
VALLEYS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND WINDS ARE TOUCHING CRITICAL
SPEEDS IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. EXPECT RH TO CONTINUE FALLING THROUGH
THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND IT SHOULD REACH CRITICAL LEVELS OVER
THE FAR SOUTHWEST FOR A TIME BEFORE THE WINDS START TO RELAX. SO
HAVE LEFT RED FLAG WARNING UNCHANGED AND UP TIL 10PM. WETTING RAINS
ARE LIKELY WITH SOME OF THE LARGER STORMS OVER THE NORTH AND EAST
FOR THE REST OF TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT AND ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE
NORTH TOMORROW.

WINDS AND HUMIDITIES COULD LOCALLY REACH CRITICAL LEVELS AGAIN SOUTH
OF THE FRONT SATURDAY ALONG THE ARIZONA BORDER BUT THE REMAINDER OF
THE AREA NORTH OF THE FRONT WILL BE COOLER WITH HIGHER RH.

A STABLE DRY AIRMASS WITH PRIMARILY TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS WILL BE
OVER THE AREA SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS.

&&

.AVIATION...CONVECTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP OVER NORTHERN UTAH AND A
50 PERCENT CHANCE EXISTS THAT ANOTHER CELL WILL CROSS THE AIRFIELD
THIS EVENING. BEST CHANCE FOR GUSTY WINDS AT THE AIRPORT IS AFTER
SUNSET WHEN CELLS BEGIN TO DISSIPATE PROVIDED THEY REMAIN CLOSE
ENOUGH TO THE AIRFIELD. WINDS AT THE KSLC TERMINAL SHOULD REMAIN
NORTHERLY THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING WHEN A 30 PERCENT CHANCE THAT
SOUTHEAST DRAINAGE WINDS WILL FIGHT AGAINST THE PREDOMINANT
NORTHERLY FLOW BETWEEN 12Z AND 16Z.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...RED FLAG WARNING UNTIL 10PM MDT FOR FIRE WX ZONES 437 AND 439.
