OVERNIGHT...AND PRECIPITABLE WATER TRENDS OVER NORTHERN UTAH HAVE
DECREASED RAPIDLY AS A RESULT. MID LEVEL INSTABILITY AND UPPER

AHEAD AND PULL THE TRIGGER AND ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE WRN
VALLEYS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. WILL KEEP THE MOUNTAINS OUT AT
THIS TIME...THOUGH SUSTAINED WINDS AND GUSTS VERY CLOSE TO CRITERIA.

CONTINUED EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE PACIFIC TROUGH WILL SEND A
STRONG COLD FRONT SURGING THROUGH THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST
WEDNESDAY...REACHING NORTHWESTERN UTAH MIDDAY. THE STAGE WILL BE
SET FOR CONTINUED AND A POTENTIALLY MORE SIGNIFICANT WIND CONCERNS
ACROSS WESTERN UTAH AHEAD OF THE FEATURE. FROM THERE...A TRAILING
