AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
955 AM MDT SAT AUG 29 2009

.SYNOPSIS...A PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY MOVE
THROUGH THE NORTHERN ROCKIES THIS WEEKEND WEEKEND...CLIPPING NORTHERN
UTAH SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN
BECOME RE-ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE REGION BY MIDWEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...PACIFIC NORTHWEST UPPER LOW HAS MOVED ONSHORE THIS
MORNING AND IS NOW SPINNING OVER SOUTH CENTRAL WASHINGTON. OUT
AHEAD OF IT...HIGH AND MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS HAS BECOMING
WIDESPREAD OVER THE FORECAST AREA. AIRMASS HAS CONTINUED TO WARM
UNDER HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT...AND MAXES SHOULD RUN A FEW DEGREES
ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS TODAY. HOWEVER...THE CLOUDS SHOULD ACT TO
KEEP TEMPERATURES BELOW RECORD TERRITORY. CLOUD COVER MAY ALSO ACT
TO LIMIT AFTERNOON CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN...THOUGH SOME IS STILL EXPECTED.

THE UPPER LOW IS STILL ON TRACK TO MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...GRAZING NORTHERN UTAH SUNDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY. PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE
TODAY AS THE RIDGE SHIFTS EAST...ALLOWING FOR SOME INCREASE IN
SOUTHWEST FLOW. BY TOMORROW...WINDS SHOULD BE STRONG
ENOUGH...COMBINED WITH THE DRY AIRMASS...TO PRODUCE AREAS OF
SEVERE FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER SOUTHERN UTAH. SEE THE FIRE
WEATHER SECTION FOR MORE DETAILS.

AS THE LOW MOVES BY UTAH...IT WILL BRING A MOSTLY DRY COLD FRONT
THROUGH NORTHERN AND CENTRAL UTAH SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. SO
TEMPERATURES TOMORROW SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN
TODAY...BUT BY MONDAY NORTHERN UTAH MAXES SHOULD DROP TO A FEW
DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL NORMS. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE MOISTURE
AND INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM LOOKS TO STAY NORTH OF
THE UTAH/IDAHO BORDER...BUT SOME CONVECTION OVER NORTHERN UTAH
CANNOT BE RULED OUT.

MODELS AGREE THAT HIGH PRESSURE WILL REBUILD OVER THE FORECAST
AREA BEGINNING TUESDAY...ALLOWING FOR A WARMING TREND.

NO UPDATES EXPECTED TO THE FORECAST THIS MORNING.

&&

.AVIATION...THE SLC TERMINAL WILL SEE VFR CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT
THE DAY. SOUTHEAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST
BETWEEN 18Z AND 20Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A PACIFIC SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST TODAY AND INTO THE NORTHERN INTERMOUNTAIN REGION
SUNDAY. SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE AS THIS SYSTEM
MOVES CLOSER TO THE GREAT BASIN THIS AFTERNOON. ISOLATED POCKETS OF
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF
WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST UTAH LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS
EVENING...BUT NOT MUCH OF A THREAT.

AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO MOVE CLOSER TO THE AREA ON SUNDAY AND
MONDAY...WINDS WILL INCREASE FURTHER AND RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL
REMAIN LOW. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS A
BROAD AREA OF WESTERN AND SOUTHERN UTAH SUNDAY AND THEN ONLY
SOUTHERN UTAH MONDAY. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THESE
AREAS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND MONDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...FIRE WEATHER WATCH FROM NOON SUNDAY TO 9 PM SUNDAY FOR UTAH
FIRE WEATHER ZONES 434-435-438>441-447>449.
