AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
936 PM MDT WED JUL 4 2007

.SYNOPSIS...STRONG UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST ACROSS
THE GREAT BASIN THROUGH SATURDAY WITH A GRADUAL MOISTENING OF THE
AIR MASS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED OVER THE UINTAS SOUTHWARD INTO
THE PRICE AREA LATE TODAY AND ARE CURRENTLY DISSIPATING. THESE WERE
LIKELY ASSISTED BY LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE THERMAL TROF
OVER ERN UT AND MAYBE THE FIRST TRICKLE OF MOISTURE FROM THE EAST.
THE AIRMASS REMAINED VERY DRY OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
AREA TODAY WITH SOME LOCATIONS RECORDING NEAR OR GREATER THAN 50
DEG F SPREADS BETWEEN THE MORNING LOW AND THE AFTERNOON HIGH...FOR
EXAMPLE...RANDOLPH IN RICH COUNTY HAD A LOW OF 40 AND A HIGH OF
91.

EVE MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A GOOD SURGE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
FROM THE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT REACHING CENTRAL UT BY TOMORROW MORNING.
THIS MIXES OUT DURING THE DAY BUT PROVIDES THE FUEL FOR SOMEWHAT
MORE WIDESPREAD TSTM COVERAGE OVER HIGHER TERRAIN TOMORROW
AFTERNOON. SOME MOISTURE IS ALSO INDICATED TO SPREAD INTO FAR NRN UT
FROM WRN WY AND POPS MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED NORTHWARD FOR
TOMORROW.

MEAN LOW LEVEL EASTERLIES DEVELOP AGAIN THU NIGHT AND TSTM COVERAGE
FRI SHOULD INCREASE AGAIN...ALONG WITH A BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN WITH
STORMS.

THE MODELS WANT TO BRING WESTERLIES BACK INTO THE AREA SAT BUT THERE
SHOULD BE ENOUGH MOISTURE LEFT IN PLACE THAT COMBINED WITH WEAK
SHORT WAVES MOVING IN FROM THE ERN PAC WILL MAKE FOR ANOTHER ROUND
OF DIURNAL TSTMS. THESE SHOW UP YET AGAIN ON SUN UNDER THE LIGHT
NORTHERLY FLOW REGIME AS THE HIGH SETS UP OVER NV.

TEMPS SHOULD PEAK TOMORROW MOST WESTERN AREAS AND MAY EVEN FALL A
LITTLE IN THE EAST FROM THE MOISTURE INCREASE.

UPDATED FORECASTS EARLIER FOR THE SOMEWHAT GREATER TSTM COVERAGE
NERN UT THIS EVENING BUT LEFT REST OF PACKAGE ALONE.

&&

.AVIATION...WINDS AT THE KSLC TERMINAL HAVE SWITCHED AROUND TO THE
NORMAL NIGHTTIME SOUTH-EASTERLIES AND WILL STAY THAT WAY UNTIL THEY
SWITCH BACK TO NORTHERLY BY 18Z THU.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...MOISTURE FROM COLORADO IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY
SPREAD WESTWARD INTO UTAH STARTING TOMORROW CONTINUING INTO THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND. THIS WILL RESULT IN ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORMS
THURSDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN
UTAH...WITH BETTER AREAL THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE EXPECTED FRIDAY INTO
THE WEEKEND. ALTHOUGH AREAL COVERAGE MAY BE SOMEWHAT LIMITED
THURSDAY...VERY DRY FUELS WILL LIKELY ALLOW FOR NUMEROUS STARTS WITH
ANY DRY THUNDERSTORMS WHICH DO DEVELOP. AS A RESULT A FIRE WEATHER
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY EVENING FOR
DRY LIGHTNING POTENTIAL.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR DRY LIGHTNING FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES
