AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
240 PM MDT TUE AUG 3 2010

.SYNOPSIS...DEEP MOISTURE WILL REMAIN ACROSS EASTERN UTAH THROUGH
MIDWEEK. A DRIER AIRMASS WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN AND NORTHERN UTAH
THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT WEST THURSDAY...BRINGING
DEEP MOISTURE INTO NORTHERN UTAH LATER THIS WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...DEEP MOISTURE REMAINS ACROSS EASTERN AND
SOUTHEASTERN UTAH THIS AFTERNOON. SEVERAL ROBUST STORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON WITH RADAR ESTIMATES OF OVER 1.5
TO 2 INCHES IN AN HOUR ALONG THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY OF CAPITAL REEF
NATIONAL PARK. ML CINH HAS LARGELY DISAPPEARED THIS AFTERNOON WITH
THE CURRENT SPC MESOANALYSIS INDICATING IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG OF
ML CAPE ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN UTAH.

WITH MORE THAN ADEQUATE INSTABILITY AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE...FLASH
FLOODING WILL REMAIN A THREAT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CONTINUED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
THROUGH 10 PM TONIGHT.

OUTSIDE OF THE MAIN AXIS OF MOISTURE...ENOUGH MOISTURE...INSTABILITY AND
DCAPE EXIST TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
IN THIS AREA. THE MAIN THREAT WITH THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE GUSTY
AND ERRATIC MICROBURST-TYPE WINDS.

WHILE PWATS WILL FALL A BIT TOMORROW OVER THE SOUTHEAST...FLASH
FLOODING REMAIN A CONCERN. WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY WATCH ISSUANCE FOR
TOMORROW AT THIS TIME.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD EASTWARD ON FRIDAY...EFFECTIVELY SHUTTING
OFF THE MONSOON FOR MUCH OF THE STATE THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...THERE IS A 10 PERCENT CHANCE THAT THE SLC TERMINAL WILL
BE IMPACTED BY THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON...WITH GUSTY ERRATIC
WINDS BEING THE MOST LIKELY IMPACT. OTHERWISE...THE LAKE BREEZE IS
STILL EXPECTED TO SWITCH WINDS LATER TODAY...AS SOME OF THE AIRPORT
SENSORS HAVE ALREADY GONE LIGHT AND VARIABLE AS OF 2130Z. MOST
LIKELY SCENARIO IS FOR SURFACE WINDS TO SWITCH TO THE NORTHWEST
BETWEEN 21Z AND 22Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A WEAK DISTURBANCE MOVED ACROSS THE NORTHERN THIRD
OF THE AREA LAST NIGHT...WITH A DRIER AIR MASS FOLLOWING IN ITS
WAKE. THIS HAS HELPED TO MAKE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MORE ISOLATED IN
THE NORTH TODAY...BUT THE STORMS THAT CONTINUE TO FORM THIS
AFTERNOON WILL LIKELY PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS. FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST
THE STORY WILL REMAIN THE SAME THIS AFTERNOON AND THE NEXT FEW
DAYS...WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE ALLOWING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO
FORM AND PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL
REMAIN HIGH THERE TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY BEFORE ANY SIGNS OF DRYING
FINALLY SETTLES IN.

MOISTURE WILL RETURN TO THE NORTH ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AHEAD OF AN
ELONGATING TROUGH ALONG THE CALIFORNIA COAST...BRINGING A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS BACK TO THE ENTIRE AREA. WHILE CONFIDENCE IS STILL
FAIRLY LOW PAST FRIDAY...THERE IS A CHANCE THAT SIGNIFICANT DRYING
COULD OCCUR HEADING INTO THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT WORK WEEK AS
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW INCREASES ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 10 PM MDT THIS EVENING FOR
     UTZ012-013-020-021.
