AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
1041 AM MDT WED JUN 23 2010

.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE GREAT BASIN
THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WILL KEEP WARM AND DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW IN
PLACE OVER UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING. A WEAK PACIFIC STORM
SYSTEM WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...WITH HIGH
PRESSURE RETURNING ON SUNDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE GREAT BASIN THIS
MORNING AS A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHES THE WEST COAST.
THIS WILL LEAD TO A CONTINUATION OF WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS
UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING THROUGH THURSDAY. HOWEVER...THERE IS A
BIT OF HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE STREAMING NORTHEAST THROUGH NEVADA ON
THE DOWNSTREAM SIDE OF THE APPROACHING TROUGH. THIS WILL BRING
SOME HIGH CLOUDS INTO NORTHWEST UTAH THIS AFTERNOON AND HAVE ADDED
THIS TO GRIDS THIS MORNING. OTHERWISE...SUNNY SKIES WILL CONTINUE
OVER THE STATE.

WITH 700 HPA TEMPERATURES OF +9C AT SALT LAKE CITY AND +12C AT
FLAGSTAFF THIS MORNING EXPECT QUITE A WARM DAY. FORECASTS HAVE
BEEN A COUPLE OF DEGREES TOO COOL IN PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST
AND NORTHWEST DESERTS THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND MADE MINOR
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS IN THOSE LOCATIONS. CURRENT GRIDS IN VERY GOOD
SHAPE...SO ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS THIS MORNING.

&&

.AVIATION...THE KSLC TERMINAL WILL SEE VFR CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE
DAY WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. SOUTHEAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT
TO THE NORTHWEST BETWEEN 17Z AND 19Z.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL RESULT IN DRY AND MILD
CONDITIONS OVER THE FIRE DISTRICT TODAY. THE FLOW WILL INCREASE
TOMORROW IN RESPONSE TO A PACIFIC TROUGH MOVING TOWARD THE
AREA...RESULTING IN SOME GUSTY WINDS. COMBINED WITH THE DRY
AIRMASS...THIS IS LIKELY TO PRODUCE SEVERE FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
WHERE FUELS ARE CRITICAL. GOING FIRE WEATHER WATCH WILL LIKELY BE
UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG WARNING THIS AFTERNOON. COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO NORTHERN UTAH ON FRIDAY...BUT SOUTHERLY WINDS
MAY STILL RESULT IN AREAS OF SEVERE FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
