AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
334 PM MDT TUE SEP 4 2007

.SYNOPSIS...A MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL BE OVER THE AREA TONIGHT
AHEAD OF A COOL PACIFIC TROUGH THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...MOIST PLUME OVER THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON IS
COMBINING WITH EJECTING SHORT WAVE OVER NV IN SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD
OF STRONG UPPER LOW IN SE OREGON THIS AFTERNOON. INCREASING
VERTICAL SHEAR AND CAPE IS RESULTING IN SOME STRONG THUNDERSTORMS
AND THIS TREND SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING. SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED THROUGH 9 PM MDT FOR NW UT.
ACTIVITY LIKELY TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH POTENTIALLY
HEAVY RAINS IN THE NW TONIGHT.

UPPER LOW AT 500 MB IN SE OREGON WILL DIG INTO NORTHERN NEVADA
TONIGHT WILL MOVE EAST TO ABOUT UT/NV/ID TRIPLE POINT BY TOMORROW
AFTERNOON AND THEN BEGIN TO LIFT NE. ALL MODELS SIMILAR IN SHOWING
A LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY PUSH INTO NW UT AND STALL AS A WAVE DEVELOPS
OVER EASTERN NV WED MORNING. AS THE WAVE MOVES NE THE FRONT PUSHES
THROUGH THE AREA WITH LATEST THINKING ON TIMING OF WIND SHIFT AND
FROPA AT SLC IN EARLY AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH PRE FRONTAL CONVECTION
LIKELY TO PRODUCE QUITE VARIABLE AND GUSTY WINDS LONG BEFORE THE
FRONT ARRIVES. SOME POST FRONTAL PRECIP SHOULD LINGER IN THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY MORNING.

MOST PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE MAINLY FROM I-70 NORTHWARD TONIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY AFTER THUNDERSTORMS NOW OVER THE SOUTH DIMINISH
THIS EVENING.

LATER IN THE WEEK STORM TRACK SHIFTS NORTH AND EAST OF THE AREA
WITH STORMS GOING THROUGH N. ROCKIES AND DROPPING SOUTH EAST OF
THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. THIS SHOULD BE A DRY PATTERN ON INTO THE
WEEKEND WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR SEASONAL NORMS...WHICH WILL FEEL
DELIGHTFULLY COOL AFTER THE LAST STRETCH OF HOT WEATHER. BIG
DIFFERENCES BEYOND THE WEEKEND BETWEEN GFS/EC....BOTH HAVE A
BLOCKING PATTERN IN EAST PACIFIC...BUT GFS DEVELOPS A DEEP LOW
OVER THE WEST EARLY NEXT WEEK WHILE EC STICKS TO NW FLOW. HAVE
KEPT IT DRY AND SEASONAL FOR NOW...BASED MORE ON EC SOLUTION.

&&

.AVIATION...SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL PREVAIL AT THE TERMINAL FOR THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. HOWEVER...DEVELOPING THUNDERSTORMS WILL CAUSE
PERIODS OF GUSTY WINDS WITH ERRATIC DIRECTIONS...PERHAPS INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. THERE IS A 40 PERCENT CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM
DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE TERMINAL...AND THIS MAY BRIEFLY BRING
CEILINGS DOWN TO 7000 FT OR BELOW.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DEEP MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WITH LEADING UPPER
TROUGH AND APPROACHING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT
LIGHTNING BUT WETTING RAIN IN THE NORTH THROUGH THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. SLOW MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH
WILL BRING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NORTH AGAIN ON
WEDNESDAY. DRY SLOT AT THE BASE OF THE TROUGH AND MODERATE WIND FLOW
WILL BRING INCREASING SEVERE FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO WEST CENTRAL
AND SOUTHWEST UTAH ON WEDNESDAY.
