AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
408 PM MDT WED JUL 1 2009

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY SHIFT TO THE EAST THROUGH
FRIDAY...ALLOWING MOISTURE TO INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA. A DRIER
AIRMASS WILL GRADUALLY SPREAD BACK INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST OVER
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA HAS BEGUN MOVING TO THE
EAST...ALLOWING MOISTURE TO SURGE UPWARDS ALONG ITS WESTERN EDGE.
THIS IS EVIDENT IN THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COVERING MUCH OF
THE CWA. WITH RELATIVELY DRY LOW LEVELS...THIS MOISTURE IS MOSTLY
CONFINED TO THE MID LEVELS. AS A RESULT...THE MAIN THREAT FROM
CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON IS GUSTY WINDS.

THE GOES SOUNDER SHOWS PW VALUES IN EXCESS OF AN INCH
OVER NORTHWESTERN ARIZONA. THIS MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD
NORTHWARD AND MOVE OVER NORTHERN UTAH OVERNIGHT...RESULTING IN
SHOWERS OVER THE NORTH TONIGHT. AS A RESULT...BUMPED POPS IN THE
NORTH TONIGHT.

MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE SPREADING INTO THE STATE THROUGH
FRIDAY...MOISTENING THE LOWER LEVELS. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS SHOW PW
VALUES EXCEEDING AN INCH ACROSS MUCH OF THE STATE BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. A SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL UTAH
THURSDAY...AND IS EXPECTED TO BE A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION.
WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ALMOST TWO STANDARD DEVIATIONS
ABOVE NORMAL...HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED OVER MOST OF THE STATE.

CLOUD COVER ON FRIDAY WILL LIKELY LIMIT CONVECTIVE INITIATION.
HOWEVER...SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES RIPPLING ACROSS THE AREA DURING
THE DAY COULD SERVE TO INITIATE CONVECTION...RESULTING IN ANOTHER
DAY OF HEAVY RAIN ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. LOCAL FLOODING
COULD RESULT FROM HEAVY AND INTENSE RAINFALL IN STEEP TERRAIN OR
SLOT CANYONS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. ANYONE PLANNING ANY HOLIDAY
ACTIVITIES ACROSS THE REGION...ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN UTAH...SHOULD
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE FORECAST OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT EAST SATURDAY. HOWEVER...ENOUGH
MOISTURE WILL LINGER TO INITIATE AFTERNOON CONVECTION BEGINNING
OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. BECAUSE OF THE DECREASING MOISTURE...LESS
INTENSE STORMS AND DECREASED AREAL COVERAGE IS EXPECTED FOR
INDEPENDENCE DAY.

A SHORT LIVED RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA SUNDAY...BEGINNING A
WARMING...DRYING TREND. A PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM EXPECTED TO
IMPACT THE STATE NEXT WEEK WILL SEND A DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE
STATE BEGINNING EARLY MONDAY...CONTINUING THE DRYING TREND IN TO
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...NORTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT THE KSLC TERMINAL THROUGH
THE EVENING PUSH.  HOWEVER...THERE IS A 20 PERCENT CHANCE THAT
ERRATIC GUSTY WINDS FROM NEARBY CONVECTION WILL IMPACT THE TERMINAL
THROUGH 0300 UTC.  SOUTHEAST DRAINAGE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
BETWEEN 0300-0400 UTC.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE FOUR CORNERS AREA WILL RESIDE
THERE THROUGH FRIDAY BEFORE BEING NUDGED EASTWARD DUE TO A TROUGH
MOVING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THE FLOW WILL TURN MORE WESTERLY
AND DRY OUT THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND. IN THE
MEANTIME...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL CLIMB TO OVER AN INCH
ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. IN
ADDITION...A SUBTLE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE OVER SOUTHWEST ARIZONA
WILL MOVE NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHWEST UTAH THURSDAY AFTERNOON
BRINGING A GREATER THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO AT LEAST
SOUTHERN UTAH. A GRADUAL DECREASE IN MOISTURE WILL OCCUR THIS
WEEKEND AS THE FLOW BECOMES MORE WESTERLY. AS A TROUGH DEVELOPS
OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST EARLY NEXT WEEK...BREEZY SOUTHWEST
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BLOW ACROSS THE REGION...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
WEST DESERTS. THIS LOOKS TO BE THE FIRST REAL DRYING EPISODE OF
THE FIRE SEASON.
