AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
1103 AM MDT TUE MAY 31 2011

.SYNOPSIS...INCREASINGLY WARM SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL DOMINATE THROUGH
MIDWEEK...AHEAD OF A MAINLY DRY COLD FRONT ANTICIPATED TO CROSS THE
AREA ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...MORNING WATER VAPOR IMAGERY PLACES A DEEP TROUGH OFF
THE PACIFIC COAST...MEAN RIDGING AMPLIFYING DOWNSTREAM ACROSS THE
EASTERN GREAT BASIN/ROCKY MOUNTAIN STATES. THE RIDGE AXIS HAS
SHIFTED EAST OF THE STATE THIS MORNING IN RESPONSE TO SAID TROUGH
SLOWLY GRINDING ONSHORE ACROSS NORTHERN CA AND OR. SOUTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT CONTINUES TO RAMP UP IN ADVANCE OF THIS TROUGH...THIS
ALLOWING FOR SIGNIFICANT WARM ADVECTION ALOFT LOCALLY.

KEYING IN ON TEMPERATURES AND WINDS IN THE SHORT TERM. AFTER DAYS
OF UNSEASONABLY COLD TEMPS THE REGION WILL CLIMB WELL ABOVE CLIMO
TODAY AND AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY. MANY AREAS ACROSS THE STATE WILL SEE
A 20 TO 25 DEGREE TEMP SWING OVER THE 48 HOUR PERIOD STARTING
YESTERDAY. HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY WILL VERY LIKELY BE THE WARMEST
CONDITIONS EXPECTED THUS FAR THIS SPRING...THIS AIDED BY
INCREASINGLY GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS.

ON TO THE WINDS...SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO RAMP UP TO
THE 35 TO 45 KT RANGE AT 700MB BY LATER TODAY...THO IT WILL
TAKE TIME FOR THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT TO TIGHTEN IN ADVANCE
OF THE APPROACHING TROUGH. THUS NOT ANTICIPATING MORE THAN
BREEZY/WINDY CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING ACROSS THE WEST. NO
HEADLINES HAVE BEEN POSTED FOR TODAY. ONE OF THE PRIMARY FORECAST
CHALLENGES IN THE SHORT TERM FOR TODAYS SHIFT WILL BE TO ADDRESS
THE NEED FOR ANY HEADLINES FOR WEDNESDAY AS GRADIENT SUPPORT WILL
ENTER INTO THE MIX. CONSIDERING A HIGH WIND WATCH AND WILL ADDRESS
ANY NEED FOR THIS WITH THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE...

MODEL TO MODEL AND RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY REMAINS SOLID REGARDING
THE EVOLUTION OF THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH. A COLD FRONT WILL
SURGE INTO NORTHERN UTAH LATE TOMORROW NIGHT CONTINUING SOUTHEAST
THROUGH MUCH OF THE STATE BY MIDDAY THURSDAY. LIMITED MOISTURE BUT
DYNAMIC...THIS FEATURE WILL LIKELY BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS
THE NORTH WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR WEAKLY ORGANIZED CONVECTION
ACROSS THE WASATCH PLATEAU AND POINTS EAST DURING THE DAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...HAVE COMBINED THE FLOOD WARNINGS FOR THE ENTIRE WEBER
SYSTEM BELOW ECHO RESERVOIR AND LOST CREEK INTO ONE NEW WARNING.
RIVER FLOWS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN ABOVE FLOOD STAGE FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS.

HAVE DROPPED THE WARNING LITTLE BEAR IN CACHE COUNTY. RIVER
RESPONSE LAST NIGHT WAS MORE INDICATIVE OF A FLASH FLOOD AND
LEVELS HAVE RECEDED WELL BELOW FLOOD STAGE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL
HOURS.

ADDITIONALLY A FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR A PORTION OF THE SEVIER
RIVER. LATEST REPORTS INDICATE FLOODING TO SOME AREA HOMES AND
LOCAL ROAD CLOSURES...INCLUDING STATE ROUTE 118. REFER TO LATEST
STATEMENT FOR FURTHER DETAILS/IMPACTS.

BIG PICTURE FOR HYDRO...A SIGNIFICANT WARM UP IS EXPECTED TODAY AND
TOMORROW. THIS WILL RESULT IN A RAPID INCREASE IN SNOWMELT AT
UPPER ELEVATIONS FUELING EVEN HIGHER FLOWS FOR AREA
RIVERS/STREAMS. ALTHOUGH FLOODING OUTSIDE OF THE CURRENT RIVERS OF
CONCERN IS NOT IMMINENT...MANY RIVERS AND STREAMS ARE ALREADY
FLOWING AT BANK FULL CONDITIONS WARRANTING VERY CLOSE MONITORING
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE WARM UP WILL BE BRIEF AS ANOTHER COLD
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY ALLOWING
UPPER ELEVATION SNOWMELT TO TEMPORARILY WANE LATE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT THE SLC TERMINAL
THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. THERE IS A 15 PERCENT CHANCE OF A BRIEF
SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST BETWEEN 19-22Z THIS AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...MOSTLY
SUNNY CONDITIONS WILL BE THE RULE TODAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING WARMER AND DRIER
CONDITIONS TO THE FIRE DISTRICT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WINDS WILL
INCREASE TODAY AND BECOME STRONG WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD
FRONT. THIS WILL BRING WINDS SPEEDS AND RH INTO THE CRITICAL RANGE
IN SOME VALLEYS THIS AFTERNOON AND MOST OF THE VALLEYS WEDNESDAY.
HOWEVER...FUELS ARE ONLY CRITICAL ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST UTAH AND THE
RED FLAG WARNING WAS ISSUED FOR ONLY THE FAR SOUTHWESTERN ZONES. THE
COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY...RESULTING IN MUCH
COOLER TEMPERATURES AND SCATTERED PRECIPITATION...PRIMARILY OVER FAR
NORTHERN UTAH. THE FRONT DOES NOT REACH SOUTHEASTERN UTAH UNTIL LATE
THURSDAY...SO THE WARM AND WINDY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ONE MORE
DAY IN THOSE AREAS. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO RETURN FOR FRIDAY
INTO THE WEEKEND BRINGING STABLE CONDITIONS.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...RED FLAG WARNING UNTIL 8 PM MDT WEDNESDAY FOR UTZ439-440.

WY...NONE.
