AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
832 PM MDT THU JUN 4 2009

.SYNOPSIS...A CLOSED LOW WILL GRADUALLY MOVE INLAND FRIDAY THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT ACROSS
THE AREA ON SUNDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS A RIDGE FROM NORTHERN MEXICO
NORTHWARD INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. AN UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO
SPIN OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST...WITH A DISTURBANCE WRAPPING INTO THE
CIRCULATION NEAR 136W/40N. 400-250MB ACARS WIND OBSERVATIONS REVEAL
THE ANTICYCLONIC FLOW HAS PROGRESSED EASTWARD...WITH AN 80-110KT
SOUTHWESTERLY JET FROM OFF OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INTO CENTRAL
NEVADA. 00Z 700MB ANALYSIS SHOWS A RIDGE SLIDING TO THE EAST WITH A
CYCLONE OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST. IT WAS +11C AT KSLC WITH +6C AT
KDRA SIGNALING THE START OF COLD ADVECTION ACROSS SOUTHERN NEVADA.

00Z KSLC RAOB INDICATES 1 TO 3C OF WARMING BELOW 550MB AND SLIGHT
COOLING ALOFT DURING THE PAST 24 HOURS. THE PRECIPITABLE WATER HAS
FALLEN TO FOUR TENTHS OF AN INCH. A SIGNIFICANT INVERTED-V
SIGNATURE WAS PRESENT. WINDS THROUGH THE COLUMN HAVE INCREASED FROM
THE SOUTHWEST.

HAD PLENTY OF MID AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL JET AXIS TODAY. A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS AND
VIRGA PRODUCED 35-45 MPH WINDS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AS A WEAK
DISTURBANCE PASSED OVER NORTHERN UTAH. SLIGHTLY STRONGER SYNOPTIC
GUSTS OCCURRED OVER THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN ZONES WITH THE APPROACH
OF THE TROUGH.

WILL MAINTAIN LOW POPS OVERNIGHT AS THE UPPER LEVEL JET BEGINS TO
REACH UTAH...THOUGH MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY MAY HOLD OFF UNTIL THE
PRE-DAWN HOURS. EXPECT COPIOUS MID AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUDINESS TO
REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE NIGHT.

AS THE UPPER LEVEL JET MOVES INTO THE REGION FRIDAY...DEEP LAYER
MIXING WILL ENCOURAGE GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
AND WESTERN ZONES. ALSO...DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE INCREASING WITH
THE 15Z SHORT RANGE ENSEMBLES INDICATING LIKELY PROBABILITIES OF
GREATER THAN 30KTS OF EFFECTIVE SHEAR FRIDAY AFTERNOON OVER MUCH OF
THE FORECAST AREA. WILL BE INCLUDING MENTION OF GUSTY SYNOPTIC WINDS
AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR THIS
TIME PERIOD. EXPECT NORTHERN ZONES TO SEE THE BEST CONVECTIVE
COVERAGE DUE TO THE DRYING ANTICIPATED ACROSS SOUTHERN UTAH DURING
THE AFTERNOON WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

THE CUT-OFF LOW MOVES FURTHER TO THE EAST FRIDAY AND THE JET STREAK
LINES UP NICELY ACROSS UTAH. MODERATE SHEAR VALUES WILL ALSO BE
PRESENT ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF UTAH. THE ONLY QUESTION AT THIS
TIME WILL BE THE AMOUNT OF DRY AIR ADVECTION THAT SURGES TO THE
NORTH THROUGHOUT THE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. 12Z MODELS
INDICATED THAT THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE WOULD QUICKLY
DRY OUT BY 18Z...WITH PWS OF GREATER THAN 0.5 INCHES REMAINING
ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF UTAH THROUGH ABOUT 22Z. IN ADDITION...A
SHORTWAVE ROTATING AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE CUT-OFF LOW WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL FAVOR
AN EARLIER DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...POSSIBLY BY
MID-MORNING. THE STRENGTH OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SOMEWHAT
DEPENDANT ON THE AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER IN THE MORNING AND THE
ABILITY FOR THE ATMOSPHERE TO DESTABILIZE AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE.

THAT BEING SAID...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE STATE. THE MAIN THREATS
APPEAR TO BE GUSTY WINDS...HAIL AND BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL.

FOLLOWING AN ACTIVE FRIDAY...THE CUT-OFF LOW WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
INLAND..BRINGING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA ON SUNDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL FALL TO BELOW NORMAL LEVELS FOR SUNDAY. AN
UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION...ESPECIALLY THE
NORTH...THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT THE SLC TERMINAL. WINDS
WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST. A 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF A
THUNDERSTORM DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE AIRFIELD IS POSSIBLE
OVERNIGHT. STRONG SOUTHERLY WIND GUSTS ARE ANTICIPATED BY TOMORROW
AFTERNOON...LIKELY EXCEEDING AIRPORT WEATHER WARNING CRITERIA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...MOISTURE WILL INCREASE AGAIN TONIGHT THROUGH AT
LEAST EARLY FRIDAY AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING UPPER LOW STILL OFF
THE CALIFORNIA COAST. THIS LOW WILL MOVE INLAND OVERNIGHT...THEN
WEAKEN AS IT SLOWLY MOVES NE THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN THIS WEEKEND.
MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES EXPECTED STATEWIDE WITH SIGNIFICANTLY
HIGHER RH VALUES AND AREAS OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE NORTH. SRN
UTAH WILL SEE PRECIPITATION...BUT THE AREAL COVERAGE LOOKS LIKE IT
WILL BE LIMITED OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

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