AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
215 PM MDT MON JUL 26 2010

.SYNOPSIS...SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BRING MOISTURE INTO NORTHERN UTAH
TODAY. A MOIST AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE ENTIRE AREA
THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...THE MONSOONAL SURGE CONTINUES TO ADVANCE ACROSS THE
CWA THIS AFTERNOON. SHEAR AND MOISTURE ARE DISPLACED ACROSS THE
AREA...WITH THE BEST SHEAR IN THE AREAS WITH THE LEAST MOISTURE.
IN ADDITION...A BOUNDARY MOVED THROUGH PORTIONS OF NORTHERN UTAH
THIS MORNING INTO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. CLOUDY AND SOMEWHAT STABLE
CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY HOLD OFF MUCH CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS
NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE.

ACROSS THE SOUTH...SLOW MOVING CONVECTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP.
ONE PARTICULARLY SLUGGISH STORM DEVELOPED OVER RED CANYON IN SOUTH
CENTRAL UTAH BRINGING A QUICK 3 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN IN A FEW
HOURS. THESE SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE A
THREAT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE STATE...WITH LOCALIZED
FLASH FLOODING A THREAT IN ANY OF THE SLOWER AND HEAVIER
THUNDERSTORMS. SHORT TERM ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS MUCAPE
NEARING 1000 J/KG OVER SOUTHEASTERN UTAH THIS AFTERNOON...SO EVEN
WITH A LACK OF SHEAR...A FEW BRIEFLY ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORMS MAY
FORM...WITH SMALL HAIL...STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS...AND HEAVY
RAINFALL BEING THE MAIN THREATS.

THE MONSOONAL SURGE CONTINUES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH FLASH
FLOODING A CONCERN THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE SALT LAKE VALLEY
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. THERE IS A 60 PERCENT CHANCE OF
GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS AT THE TERMINAL DUE TO THESE THUNDERSTORMS
FROM MAINLY 23 THROUGH 04Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...THE WESTERN PORTION OF FIRE ZONE 420 HAS HAD AN
INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE DUE TO THE RAIN COOLED AIR MASS OVER
CENTRAL NEVADA SPILLING INTO THAT PORTION OF THE STATE. ALTHOUGH DRY
LIGHTNING IS LESS LIKELY THERE...A GENERAL AREA OF LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITY STILL EXISTS FROM NORTHERN PORTION OF FIRE ZONE 435
NORTHWARD TO THE IDAHO BORDER. RHS IN THIS SWATH ARE BETWEEN 13 AND
20 PERCENT. THEREFORE ANY HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THIS AREA
WILL LIKELY PRODUCE LITTLE IF ANY PRECIPITATION THROUGH EARLY THIS
EVENING BEFORE THE DEEPER MOISTURE ADVANCES NORTHWARD.  THEREFORE
THE THREAT OF DRY LIGHTNING REMAINS INTO THIS EVENING. ALL
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD QUICKLY TRANSITION TO WET BY TUESDAY AS
MOISTURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE. THIS DEEPER MOISTURE LOOKS TO REMAIN
IN PLACE ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH THE WEEK.

&&
