NRN CA COAST WILL CONTINUE EAST INTO THE WRN GREAT BASIN FRIDAY...
THEN ACROSS UTAH AS AN OPEN TROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY. STILL
LOOKING AT DECENT BAROCLINIC STRUCTURE WITH THIS FEATURE...EVEN
THOUGH IT IS WEAKENING AS IT MOVES THROUGH UTAH. THE LATEST NAM
STILL SANDWICHES THE BULK OF THE PRECIP BETWEEN THE COOLER AIR
BEHIND THE NEAR 700MB BAROCLINIC ZONE...AND JUST AHEAD OF THE MID-
LEVEL TROUGH AXIS. THIS RELATIVELY NARROW BAND OF PRECIP ACROSS
ERN ID/NRN UT/NE NV IS PROGGED TO DISSIPATE RAPIDLY FRIDAY
EVENING. SUSPECT THAT WITH THE MID-LEVEL COOL AIR MOVING INTO NRN
UTAH LATE THAT SHOWERY PRECIP MAY BE A BIT MORE PERSISTENT THAN
THE MODEL LET ON. SHOWERS WILL LIKELY HANG AROUND ACROSS NRN UTAH
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS THE MID-LEVEL COLD AIR DRAGS EAST ACROSS THE
REGION.

SHORTWAVE RIDGING SUNDAY WILL BRING DRIER/WARMER AIR INTO THE AREA
FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. A RATHER LOW AMPLITUDE
W-SW FLOW THROUGH THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PORTION OF NEXT WEEK WILL
KEEP TEMPERATURES SEASONAL OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE. EMBEDDED WEAK
SHORTWAVES NOT SHOWING MUCH IN THE WAY OF BAROCLINIC STRUCTURE OR
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE. MAY SEE ISOLATED CONVECTION WITH THESE
FEATURES OVER THE FAR NORTH...WITH BREEZY AND CONTINUED DRY
CONDITIONS SOUTH.

HIGH WINDS FROM THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SRN 2/3RDS OF UTAH HAVE
BEEN DECREASING RAPIDLY WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING AND THE RESULTANT
GOOD MIXING THIS EVENING. LOOKING AT THESE WINDS KICKING UP AGAIN
EARLY FRIDAY AS THE NEAR 700MB WILL COME A BIT STRONGER AND THE
SURFACE GRADIENT TIGHTENS ACROSS SRN/ERN UTAH AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH. WIND ADVISORIES FOR THIS EVENING WILL BE
ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 03Z...WITH A NEW ADVISORY TO TAKE AFFECT LATE
FRIDAY MORNING.

&&

EVENING...MAINTAINING LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS AT THE TERMINAL.
WINDS WILL GRADUALLY COME AROUND TO THE S-SE AND REMAIN LIGHT AFTER
03Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO DECREASE ACROSS ALL FIRE
DISTRICTS THIS EVENING. THESE WINDS WILL PICK UP AGAIN EARLY
FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EXTREME SRN AND ERN DISTRICTS. RH
VALUES ACROSS SRN/ERN UTAH WILL ONLY SEE MODEST RECOVERIES
OVERNIGHT...THEN DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS AGAIN
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. WILL NOT BE ISSUING ANY FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS
AS FUELS REMAIN NON-CRITICAL AT THIS TIME.

THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CURRENTLY ALONG THE WEST COAST WILL MOVES
EAST INTO THE GREAT BASIN FRIDAY...THEN ACROSS UTAH FRIDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY. COOLER AND WETTER CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS NRN UTAH FOR FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. SRN UTAH WILL
SEE WINDS DECREASE A BIT WITH COOLER TEMPS AND MARGINALLY HIGHER
RH VALUES SATURDAY. A DRY/STABLE AIRMASS SUNDAY WILL PRODUCE POOR
MIXING CONDITIONS. WARMER TEMPS AND GRADUALLY INCREASING WINDS
ALOFT ARE EXPECTED EARLY NEXT WEEK.
