AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
1008 PM MST THU NOV 18 2010

.SYNOPSIS...THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN UNDER HIGH PRESSURE
THROUGH FRIDAY. A SERIES OF STRONG AND INCREASINGLY COLD STORM
SYSTEMS WILL AFFECT THE REGION FROM SATURDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER IS SHOWING SIGNS OF BREAKING
UP A LITTLE FOR A FEW HOURS TONIGHT BUT BELIEVE MOSTLY CLOUDY
STILL HOLDS FOR MUCH OF THE CWA. ALL OF THESE CLOUDS ARE UPPER
LEVEL WITH VERY DRY LOW LEVELS. THEREFORE NO CONCERN FOR ANY
PRECIPITATION TONIGHT.

WINDS ARE REMAINING MUCH BREEZIER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT DESPITE
MODELS SHOWING SOME WEAKENING TO THE SURFACE GRADIENT. WINDS ALOFT
HOWEVER ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN QUITE STRONG AT ABOUT 25-30 KTS AT
700 MB THROUGH TONIGHT WHICH IF THE LOWEST LEVELS REMAIN MIXED
WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES VERY MILD THROUGH TONIGHT. THE PROBLEM IS
THAT THE SURFACE GRADIENT IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN SOME AND TYPICALLY
THE LOW LEVELS DECOUPLE FROM THE UPPER LEVEL WINDS AND WITH SOME
BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS A QUICK DOWNWARD SPIKE IS NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION. THEREFORE...ALTHOUGH TEMPTED TO RAISE TEMPERATURES
ACROSS MANY WESTERN VALLEYS...HAVE RELUCTANTLY KEPT FORECAST LOWS IN
THE LOW 40S TO AROUND 40 EVEN THROUGH MANY AREAS STILL IN THE MID 50S.

CONCERN FOR FRIDAY IS THAT A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE
WESTERN VALLEYS FROM ABOUT JUAB COUNTY SOUTHWARD DUE TO 700 MB
WINDS RAMPING UP TO 45-50 KTS BY 00Z SATURDAY ALONG WITH A
FAVORABLE SURFACE GRADIENT. WINDS REMAIN STRONG OVER THIS AREA
THROUGH SATURDAY WITH SOME AREAS POSSIBLY REACHING WARNING CRITERIA.

WILL ADVISE MIDNIGHT CREW TO CONSIDER ADDING THE WINTER STORM
WATCH TO INCLUDE THE WASATCH MOUNTAIN VALLEYS.

&&

.AVIATION...GUSTY SOUTH WINDS WILL REMAIN THE PRIMARY OPERATIONAL
WEATHER CONCERN AT THE KSLC TERMINAL THROUGH FRIDAY. WIND SPEEDS
EXCEEDING 25 KTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST 12Z...WITH A 30
PERCENT CHANCE THESE GUSTS PERSIST THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. GUSTS ARE
EXPECTED TO INCREASE AGAIN LATE FRIDAY MORNING AND PERSIST THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS TO PERSIST
THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING.

&&

     NIGHT FOR UTZ007>010-517-518.
