THE GREAT BASIN THROUGH MIDWEEK. MOISTURE WILL GRADUALLY WORK
INTO UTAH LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...UPPER RIDGE CURRENTLY CENTERED OVER THE SRN GREAT
BASIN/DESERT SW WILL GRADUALLY EXPAND NORTHWARD THROUGH MIDWEEK.
VERY HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS THE RULE THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY.

MOISTURE...WHICH HAS BEEN IN SHORT SUPPLY FOR SOME TIME NOW...MAY
FINALLY SHOW UP BY THE END OF THE WEEK. AS THE UPPER HIGH CENTER
SETTLES OVER UTAH MIDWEEK...LOOK FOR MOISTURE TO STEADILY FILL IN
AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE HIGH. BY LATE THURSDAY OR FRIDAY ENOUGH
MOISTURE MAY REACH THE NE MOUNTAINS TO PRODUCE SOME WEAK CONVECTION.
NOT LOOKING FOR ANY DEEP CONVECTION RIGHT NOW AS THE MID-LEVELS
REMAIN QUITE WARM/STABLE ON INTO NEXT WEEKEND. STILL WITH INCREASING
MOISTURE COMES INCREASING CLOUD COVER AND LOWER MAX TEMPS. HAVE
KNOCKED SOME OF THE HIGH TEMPS BACK A BIT...THOUGH READINGS SHOULD
REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.

AT THE SLC TERMINAL. NW SURFACE WINDS SHOULD REACH THE TERMINAL

AT THE SURFACE OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL UTAH AND THE NORTHERN
WASATCH MOUNTAINS. HAVE UPGRADED THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR SELECT
SOUTH CENTRAL ZONES AND THE NORTH FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
HAVE ALSO DROPPED THE WATCH FOR ZONES 434 AND 435 AS WINDS WILL
