AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
903 PM MDT SUN JUN 29 2008

.SYNOPSIS...A RELATIVELY MOIST AIRMASS IS EMBEDDED BENEATH A
STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE THAT IS OVER THE AREA AND WILL
REMAIN THROUGH FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...NO MOVEMENT IN THE STRONG RIDGE OVER THE AREA BUT
CONSIDERABLY MORE MID LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE AREA TODAY AND THE
RESULT WAS FAIRLY WIDESPREAD CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON. A FEW
SITES REPORTED A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF PRECIPITATION BUT GUSTY WINDS
WERE THE MAIN IMPACT. BELIEVE RADAR ESTIMATES OF PRECIP THIS
AFTERNOON WERE GROSS OVERESTIMATES DUE TO THE DRY SUB CLOUD ENVIRONMENT.

ALL INDICATIONS ARE FOR A REPEAT PERFORMANCE MONDAY WITH VERY
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE AIRMASS OR MOVEMENT OF THE RIDGE WHICH IS
DIRECTLY OVER THE AREA. POSSIBLY A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN
REACHING THE GROUND ON MONDAY AS IT WILL BE THE SECOND DAY OF
ACTIVE CONVECTION AND LOW LEVELS ARE SLIGHTLY MORE MOIST....BUT STILL
WOULD EXPECT MICROBURST TYPE WINDS TO BE THE MAIN THREAT.

SOME INDICATION THE RIDGE AXIS SLIDES EAST A BIT ON TUESDAY AND
SOUTHWEST FLOW INCREASES. MODELS INDICATE SOME DRYING...MAINLY
OVER WESTERN UTAH ON TUESDAY COMPARED TO CONDITIONS TODAY AND MONDAY.

NOW THAT ALL THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES HAVE PRETTY MUCH
DISSIPATED...NEARLY ALL AREAS ARE REVERTING TO THEIR NORMAL
NOCTURNAL DRAINAGE FLOWS...OR WILL IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. NO
CHANGES TO CURRENT FORECASTS AT THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...NORMAL DRAINAGE FLOWS FROM THE SOUTHEAST HAVE BECOME
ESTABLISHED AND ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN MOISTURE HAS OCCURRED
ACROSS THE FIRE DISTRICT TODAY. EVEN WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN
PLACE...ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED
OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN THIS AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS SHOULD
CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING...WITH ONLY SPOTTY WETTING RAINS IN A
FEW OF THE SLOW- MOVING STORMS.

FURTHER INCREASE IN MOISTURE TONIGHT WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN
AREAL COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW. HAVE ISSUED A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH FOR DRY LIGHTNING FOR WESTERN AND SOUTHERN UTAH
BECAUSE THESE STORMS ARE LIKELY TO BEGIN AS DRY BEFORE BECOMING
WETTER AS THE DAY GOES ON. DRIER AIR MOVING IN ON TUESDAY IS
EXPECTED TO CAUSE SOME DECREASE IN CONVECTION COVERAGE FOR THE
MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...FIRE WEATHER WATCH FROM NOON MONDAY TO 9 PM MONDAY FOR UTZ002-
     UTZ003-UTZ004-UTZ005-UTZ015.

     FIRE WEATHER WATCH FROM 10 AM MONDAY TO 7 PM MONDAY FOR UTZ014-
