AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
858 PM MST WED FEB 21 2007

.SYNOPSIS...STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF A COLD PACIFIC TROUGH
WILL BE OVER THE AREA THURSDAY. THE COLD FRONT WILL ENTER UTAH LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT AND MOVE THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...SHORT WAVE RIDGE AMPG OVER REGION TONIGHT IN RESPONSE
TO THE DEEPENING TROF IN THE ERN PAC. MILD SLY FLOW AT LOWER LEVELS
WILL BE INCREASING TONIGHT AS THE TROF EDGES TOWARDS THE COAST AND
WILL KEEP MIN TEMPS MILD. RIDGE ALOFT SHIFTS E TOMORROW AND LOW LEVEL
FLOW INCREASES EVEN MORE AS THE TROF MOVES INLAND. THIS SHOULD MIX
TO THE SURFACE AND MAKE FOR A WINDY DAY ESPECIALLY OVER THE MTNS AND
WRN VALLEYS. LATEST NAM INDICATES SPEEDS WILL BE SOMEWHAT MARGINAL
FOR A WARNING HOWEVER AND WHATS LACKING IS A STRONG SURFACE GRADIENT
ACROSS THE STATE TO SUPPORT THE WINDS ALOFT. WILL LEAVE WATCH AS IT
IS AS WE WILL PROBABLY NEED AN ADVISORY HIGHLIGHT AND WE CAN GO TO
THAT INSTEAD OF A WARNING.

NEW NAM ALSO SHOWS THE SURFACE TROF PASSING SLC AT 12Z WITH A
WIND SHIFT SOMETIME BETWEEN 12-15Z. THIS WOULD BRING SNOW TO THE
WASATCH FRONT METRO AREA SOONER FRI MORNING AND IT COULD END UP
IMPACTING THE COMMUTE AFTER ALL. TIMING FOR SRN UT IS SIMILAR AS
FRONT IS FORECAST TO BE FAIRLY N-S ORIENTED.

MODEL QPF IS EVEN A BIT LOWER THAN DAYTIME RUNS AND SUSPECT DURATION
IS WHAT WILL BE THE LIMITING FACTOR. WE SHOULD STILL GET A SOLID
ADVISORY EVENT WITH LOCAL WARNING LEVEL AMOUNTS OUT OF THIS SYSTEM
BY FRI NIGHT. DEEP UNIDIRECTIONAL NORTHWEST FLOW AND INSTABILITY UP
TO 500MB FRI EVE IN THE COLD AIRMASS COULD ALLOW A LAKE BAND TO
DEVELOP AND THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED.

NOT MUCH OF A BREAK BETWEEN SYSTEMS SAT BEFORE THE NEXT SHORT WAVE
ARRIVES ON WNW FLOW ALOFT SUN MORNING. THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO
HAVE A STRONG JET AND COULD BRING SIGNIFICANT SNOWS TO THE NRN MTNS
AND LOCALLY TO THE NRN VALLEYS INTO MON. A LOW AMPLITUDE ALMOST ZONAL
FLOW FOLLOWS FOR MON AND GFS WAS SHOWING A SURFACE BOUNDARY STALLED
ACROSS NRN UT...SO MORE SNOW FOR MON...THEN A STRONG COLD WAVE IS
FORECAST FOR TUE...BRINGING EVEN MORE SNOW. THE SOUTH WILL WONT GET
MUCH SUN THRU MON BUT THE TUE TROF SHOULD IMPACT THE WHOLE FORECAST
AREA AGAIN.

FOR NOW...CURRENT PACKAGE IN REASONABLE SHAPE AND NO UPDATES
PLANNED.

&&

.AVIATION...BETWEEN 16 AND 17Z THURSDAY AT THE SLC TERMINAL WINDS
WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH TO SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 20 TO 25 MPH
WITH GUST POTENTIAL TO NEAR 40 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON THROUGH THE
EVENING. THERE IS A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF WIND GUSTING TO 50 MPH IN
THE EVENING. A COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE AT SLC TERMINAL FRIDAY MORNING
AND WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SNOW.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...NONE.
WY...NONE.
