AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
955 PM MDT THU MAY 25 2006

.SYNOPSIS...SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL INCREASE FRIDAY AHEAD OF A
COLD PACIFIC TROUGH. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE OVER
NORTHWEST UTAH FRIDAY NIGHT THEN MOVE SLOWLY OVER THE REMAINDER OF
THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...MARGINAL INSTABILITY TODAY HAS ALLOWED A FEW SHOWERS
TO DEVELOP OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN AND EASTERN UTAH THIS
AFTERNOON. THESE SHOWERS APPEARED TO PRODUCE LITTLE RAIN AND ARE NOW
DRIFTING EAST AND QUICKLY DISSIPATING WITH THE LOSS OF SURFACE
HEATING. UPSTREAM...SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES CONTINUE TO EJECT OUT OF
THE PARENT LOW NOW LOCATED NEAR 48N AND 135W. THESE SHORTWAVES
CONTINUE TO BRING A FEW MID AND HIGH CLOUDS TO NORTHWEST UTAH
TONIGHT. THE SHORTWAVES HAVE LEFT A FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLED ACROSS
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND EASTERN OREGON THIS EVENING...BUT AS THE
PARENT LOW DROPS SOUTHEAST TOMORROW...IT WILL REINFORCE THE FRONT
AND PUSH IT ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN. THE FRONT IS STILL ON TRACK TO
REACH THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF UTAH BY LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE QUITE A BIT TOMORROW
THROUGHOUT THE CWA AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH 700MB WINDS IN THE
35-40KT RANGE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND SOUTHERLY SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT DEVELOPING. MID SHIFT CAN DECIDE WHETHER THIS WARRANTS ANY
KIND OF WIND HEADLINES. WITH 700MB TEMPS OF AT LEAST 12C PROGGED
ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA...EXPECT ANOTHER VERY WARM DAY TOMORROW.

THE FRONT IS STILL EXPECTED TO PUSH ITS WAY THROUGH NORTHWEST UTAH
TOMORROW NIGHT AND ACROSS NORTHEAST...CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST UTAH
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SATURDAY SHOULD BE AN ESPECIALLY
WINDY DAY...ESPECIALLY AHEAD OF AND JUST BEHIND THE FRONT WITH THE
MODELS HANGING ON TO THE IDEA OF A FRONTOGENETIC EVENT. THE FRONT
MANAGES TO PUSH THROUGH MOST OF THE CWA BEFORE STALLING OVER EXTREME
SOUTHEAST UTAH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. EXPECT A NICE BAND OF PRECIP TO
DEVELOP ALONG OR JUST BEHIND THE FRONT. PRECIP MAY TAPER OFF A BIT
SATURDAY NIGHT BUT SHOULD SEE SOME INSTABILITY SHOWERS SUNDAY AS THE
500MB COLD POOL MOVES OVER EXTREME NORTHERN UTAH. TEMPERATURES STILL
EXPECTED TO BE UNSEASONABLY COLD BEHIND THE SYSTEM...WITH -6C AT
700MB OVER A GOOD PORTION OF NORTHWEST UTAH SUNDAY MORNING. THIS
WOULD DEFINITELY BE COLD ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS OF
NORTHERN UTAH AND HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S AT BEST ALONG
THE WASATCH FRONT ON SUNDAY.

CURRENT PACKAGE LOOKS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE FOR TONIGHT SO NO UPDATES
PLANNED.

.AVIATION...SEE LATEST SLCTAFSLC.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...RED FLAGS HOISTED TO ADDRESS INCREASING SOUTHERLY
FLOW ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. WARNINGS COVER ALL OF WESTERN AND
SOUTHERN UTAH BELOW 7500 FT. ONLY QUESTION IS HOW FAR THE COLD AIR
MAKES IT INTO UTAH SATURDAY. WILL LIKELY BE ABLE TO CANCEL PARTS OF
THE WARNING AFTER POST FRONTAL WINDS DIE DOWN SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...LITTLE COTTONWOOD CREEK IS EXPECTED TO PEAK WITHIN THE
NEXT 24 HOURS...BUT NO FLOODING IS EXPECTED. WATERWAYS THROUGHOUT
THE AREA WILL REMAIN NEAR BANKFULL AS WARM TEMPERATURES PERSIST.
COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SLOW SNOW MELT AND HALT WATERWAY RISES.
HOWEVER...SHOWERS COULD POSSIBLY ADD ADDITIONAL WATER TO THE
WATERWAYS OF THE SALT LAKE VALLEY. RIVERS AND STREAMS WILL BE
CONTINUALLY MONITORED FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND ADDITIONAL
COORDINATION WILL BE PERFORMED WITH THE CBRFC AS NEEDED.
