AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
315 PM MDT THU JUN 8 2006

.SYNOPSIS...A MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BE OVER THE AREA THROUGH
FRIDAY. A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE
NORTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN SWEEP THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING.
UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD BACK OVER THE REGION THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE CONTINUES TO INCREASE AND ON
TRACK WITH FORECAST. LEADING EDGE OF UPPER TROUGH PRESSING THROUGH
NEVADA IS LIFTING A WELL DEFINED VORT MAX INTO SOUTHEAST UTAH WHILE
WEAKER LESS DEFINED ENERGY OVER NORTHWEST UTAH PRECEDES THE MAIN
WAVE THAT WILL SWING THROUGH THIS EVENING. THUS FAR MOST ORGANIZED
OVER THE GSL ASSOCIATED WITH INITIAL WAVE...WHILE ISOLATED CELLS
CONTINUE ACROSS SURROUNDING AREAS...VALLEYS AND MOUNTAINS. STORMS
ARE LONGER LIVED WITH HELP FROM SPEED SHEAR AND DYNAMICS MEETING THE
RATHER UNSTABLE AND MOISTURE AIR MASS IN PLACE OVER UTAH AND
SOUTHWEST WYOMING. NEXT SEVERAL HOURS WILL BE ACTIVE IN SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN UTAH WHERE ISOLATED STRONG CELLS WILL MOVE INTO THE EASTERN
DESERTS AND INCREASINGLY ACTIVE IN NORTHWEST UTAH WHERE BEST SPEED
SHEAR AND PVA WORK WITH PEAK HEATING. SOUTHEAST UTAH AND MUCH OF
WESTERN UTAH HAVE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WHICH SHOULD BE PRIME FOR
APPROACHING WAVES. MSAS AND LAPS DEPICTING LIS -3 AND CAPE 500-1000
J/KG. EARLIER ISSUED WARNING FOR NEAR BIG WATER FOR THE SEVERE
COMPLEX THAT LIFTED OUT OF ARIZONA. COOLING TOPS OVER EASTERN NEVADA
AND LEADING EDGE OF LOWERING PRECIPITABLE WATER ADVECTION SHOULD BE
ORGANIZED CONVECTION THAT MOVES INTO NORTHWEST UTAH THIS EVENING AND
BRING A LARGE OUTFLOW.

THIS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHWEST DESERTS
EARLY THIS EVENING ASSOCIATED WITH FIRST ORGANIZED AREA. THIS SHOULD
REACH THE WASATCH FRONT. LATER THIS EVENING AFTER BOUNDARY LAYER
COOLS DRYING BEGINS ACROSS SOUTHERN UTAH. AFTER MIDNIGHT SECONDARY
VORT LOBE FROM THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL
MOVE ACROSS NORTHWEST UTAH AND THE IDAHO BORDER. ALL MODELS CONTINUE
TO TARGET NORTHWEST UTAH FOR NOCTURNAL THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS FEATURE TONIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO FRIDAY MORNING AROUND THE
GSL/NORTHERN AREAS. APPEARS THE MOST ORGANIZED ACTIVITY WILL BE THE
RAFT RIVER MOUNTAINS AND NORTHWEST DESERTS CLOSER TO THE DYNAMICS
BUT CONDITIONAL UNSTABLE AIR MASS AND SYNOPTIC LIFT WILL LEAD TO
CELLS MOVING ACROSS MUCH OF THE NORTH...NORTH OF THE SEVIER VALLEY.

AIR MASS WARMS SLIGHTLY ON FRIDAY AS PACIFIC TROUGH APPROACHES. THIS
WILL AGAIN FOCUS MOIST CONVECTION OVER NORTHERN UTAH WHILE
INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS WITH DRYING IN THE SOUTHERN AREAS.
ISOLATED CELLS SHOULD STILL DEVELOP OVER SOUTH CENTRAL AND EASTERN
AREAS ON FRIDAY. AFTER MORNING CONVECTION IN THE NORTHERN REGION
SHIFTS NORTHEAST FRIDAY MORNING THERE WILL BE A LULL IN ACTIVITY
BEFORE HEATING AND APPROACHING TROUGH WORK ON THE AIR MASS AGAIN.
LOW LEVEL FRONTAL PASSAGE PROGGED FOR THE WASATCH FRONT FRIDAY
EVENING WITH ORGANIZED CONVECTION. BROAD TROUGH SLOWLY MOVES THROUGH
FRIDAY NIGHT SO ACTIVITY LIKELY TO CONTINUE AT LEAST THROUGH
MIDNIGHT OVER THE NORTHEAST MOUNTAINS AND WYOMING WITH THE LAST
CELLS SATURDAY MORNING OVER WYOMING AND THE UINTAS. AS DYNAMICS EXIT
IT LEAVES A WEAKENING LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY OVER NORTH CENTRAL UTAH ON
SATURDAY WITH WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION DEVELOPING BY AFTERNOON.
ISOLATED CELLS MAY REDEVELOP OVER THE FAR NORTHEAST FROM THE WASATCH
PLATEAU AND NORTHEAST.

UPPER RIDGING ON SUNDAY PRODUCING WARMING OVER THE FORECAST AREA
WITH DRY CONDITIONS AS PRECIPITABLE WATER IS REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY
OVER THE ENTIRE REGION. SLOW MOVING PACIFIC TROUGH ON THE WEST COAST
WILL BRING VERY WARM TEMPERATURES MONDAY WITH SUBTLE COOLING TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. DRY AIR MASS AND MODERATE SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL BE THE
PREVAILING WEATHER. REFER TO FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION. LATEST ECMWF
HOLDS THE UPPER TROUGH TO OUR WEST FOR MOST OF THE WEEK...NEAR LAKE
TAHOE. HAVE LEFT OUT WEATHER CHANCES FOR THE WEEK WITH MAINLY CIRRUS
BANDS MOVING OVER THE NORTH. WEAK INSTABILITY PROGGED NEAR THE IDAHO
AND WYOMING BORDER BUT SLIGHT SHIFT TO THE EAST OF THE MAIN TROUGH
COULD BRING SOME CONVECTION TO THE FAR NORTH.

&&

.AVIATION...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING AND MOVING
ACROSS THE LAKE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP TO THE WEST AND
SOUTHWEST...WITH AN INCREASING CHANCE THEY WILL AFFECT THE TERMINAL.
BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS AT KSLC APPEARS TO BE BETWEEN 23Z AND
03Z LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. IN GENERAL...OUTFLOW
WINDS FROM THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD REMAIN FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...WINDY AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL RETURN TO SOUTHWEST
AND WEST CENTRAL UTAH FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THESE CONDITIONS WILL RESULT
IN CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER FOR THOSE AREAS BELOW 7500 FEET AS FUEL
CONDITIONS GENERALLY REMAIN VERY DRY. THE CRITICAL CONDITIONS MAY
MOVE INTO THE REST OF THE DISTRICT FOR THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...FIRST SOUTHERN UTAH FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL PRODUCT FOR
2006. ISOLATED STRONG CELLS WITH HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
NORTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHERN UTAH EARLY THIS EVENING.
