AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
949 PM MDT FRI JUN 10 2011

.SYNOPSIS...A SERIES OF WEAK STORMS WILL PASS THROUGH THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES THIS WEEKEND. EACH STORM WILL JUST BRUSH NORTHERN UTAH. WARM
AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN UTAH
THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CENTERED ACROSS EASTERN OREGON
AND WESTERN IDAHO THIS EVENING HAS RESULTED IN CLOUDS AND SCATTERED
SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH.
MEANWHILE...ANOTHER WEAK SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE SWINGING ACROSS
NORTHWEST ARIZONA HAS BROUGHT A SECOND AREA OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO SOUTH-CENTRAL UTAH. THESE SHOWERS SHOULD GRADUALLY
DECREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE FROM WEST TO EAST OVERNIGHT AS BOTH OF
THESE DISTURBANCES SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA. A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS WILL THEN CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH INTO THE
EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK...KEEPING UNSETTLED CONDITIONS ACROSS
NORTHERN UTAH WITH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

UPDATED THE FORECAST EARLIER TO INCREASE POPS AND SKY FOR A FEW
ZONES.

&&

.HYDRO...FLOOD WARNINGS REMAIN IN PLACE FOR THE WEBER RIVER FROM
ECHO RESERVOIR TO ITS TERMINATION AT THE GREAT SALT LAKE...FOR THE
OGDEN RIVER BELOW PINEVIEW RESERVOIR...THE SOUTH FORK OF THE OGDEN
RIVER AND PORTIONS OF THE SEVIER RIVER IN CENTRAL UTAH. REFER TO THE
LATEST FLOOD STATEMENTS FOR FURTHER DETAILS/IMPACTS ON ALL FLOOD
WARNINGS.

THE COOLER AIRMASS OF THE LAST TWO DAYS HAS BROUGHT MANY STREAMS
DOWN...BUT THAT TREND WILL REVERSE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE NEXT
STREAM LIKELY TO REACH FLOOD STAGE IS THE LOGAN RIVER ON MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...SURFACE WINDS AT THE SLC TERMINAL WILL REMAIN LIGHT
NORTHWEST AND THEN SWITCH TO SOUTHEAST ABOUT 05-06Z. ISOLATED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DRIFT ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH
NEAR THE SLC TERMINAL THROUGH AROUND 08Z. THERE IS A 10 PERCENT
CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM DIRECTLY HITTING THE AIRPORT. GUSTY ERRATIC
WINDS MAY OCCUR DUE TO STORMS PASSING NEARBY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...WARM AND DRY WEATHER WILL PERSIST ACROSS SOUTHERN
UTAH THROUGH MID WEEK...WHILE PERIODIC DISTURBANCES PROVIDE NORTHERN
UTAH WITH SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH SEASONAL TEMPERATURES. SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL
BE ENHANCED SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY ACROSS SOUTHERN UTAH WITH THE
PASSAGE OF SEVERAL DISTURBANCES. EXPECT ISOLATED STATIONS TO REPORT
NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS SOUTHERN UTAH SATURDAY
THROUGH MONDAY WHERE FUELS ARE CRITICAL.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
