AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
332 PM MDT SAT JUN 16 2007

.SYNOPSIS...A DRY COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT
INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN TO THE AREA MONDAY AND
WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEK. A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN FRIDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...MAINLY SUNNY SKIES CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON. SOME CONVECTIVE CLOUD DEVELOPMENT IS NOTED ALONG AND
EAST OF THE WASATCH. THESE AREAS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO DEVELOP INTO
ANYTHING BUT A VERY ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORM. OF GREATER CONCERN
IS THE CONVECTIVE CLOUD DEVELOPMENT OVER THE EXTREME NORTHWESTERN
PORTION OF THE STATE. THIS AREA SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND
SPREAD TO THE SOUTHEAST THIS EVENING...BRINGING A CHANCE OF
ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS TO NORTHERN
UTAH...MAINLY NORTH OF I-80. DRY THUNDERSTORMS WILL ONLY ADD TO
THE EXTREME FIRE CONDITIONS THIS EVENING. STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS
AND VERY LOW HUMIDITIES WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING ACROSS MOST
OF THE REGION. SEE THE FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION FOR DETAILS.

TEMPERATURES HAVE REACHED 100F IN MANY LOCATIONS THIS
AFTERNOON...INCLUDING AT THE SALT LAKE AIRPORT. THIS TEMPERATURE
TIES THE RECORD HIGH FOR THE DAY OF 100F IN 1940. THIS ALSO TIES
THE RECORD FOR THE FIFTH EARLIEST DATE OF 100F IN THE SALT LAKE
CITY AREA SINCE RECORDS BEGAN.

THE COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED ACROSS EXTREME NORTHWESTERN
UTAH. IT IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS NORTHWEST UTAH TONIGHT
AND SHOULD REACH THE SALT LAKE CITY AREA BY 12Z SUNDAY MORNING.
THE FRONT WILL LIKELY REACH SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE REGION LATE
ON SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS BEHIND THE
FRONT.

A RIDGE IS FORECAST TO BUILD IN EARLY NEXT WEEK BRINGING
TEMPERATURES TO WELL ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS ONCE AGAIN. THE GFS
INDICATES A WEAK TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY.
DECREASED TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES FRIDAY...AS THE GFS ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS INDICATED MODERATE CONSISTENCY. TEMPERATURES MAY NEED TO
BE DECREASED A BIT MORE IF FUTURE RUNS CONTINUE THIS TREND.

&&

.AVIATION...A SHALLOW LAKE BREEZE HAS DEVELOPED AT THE SLC TERMINAL
THIS AFTERNOON...BUT IS NOT EXPECTED TO LAST PAST 01Z. BRIEF PERIODS
OF LIGHT AND VARIABLE ARE POSSIBLE BEFORE A RETURN TO PREVAILING
SOUTHERLY WINDS. THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH THE
TERMINAL AT AROUND 12Z AND SHIFT WINDS TO THE NORTHWEST.
HOWEVER...THERE  IS A 30 PERCENT CHANCE THAT IT WILL ARRIVE SOONER
THAN EXPECTED...BETWEEN 09Z AND 12Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...THE COLD FRONT HAS JUST REACHED THE GOOSE CREEK AND
MOBURG RAWS SO IS JUST INTO NORTHERN UTAH. RED FLAG WARNING HAS
VERIFIED FOR LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND GUSTY WINDS MOST ZONES. SOUTHEAST
UTAH JUST MIXING AND STARTING TO GUST. THE MOST SEVERE CONDITIONS LATE
THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE IN THE WEST DESERTS AREAS WHERE WIND GUSTS ARE
NEAR 40 MPH WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY NEAR 5 PERCENT. ANOTHER DRY AND
WINDY DAY CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN UTAH SUNDAY THEN LIGHTER WINDS FOR
