EXCLUSIVELY IN THE MID-LEVELS. ENOUGH INSTABILITY SHOWN FOR
ISOLATED HIGH-BASED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN... PERHAPS A BIT MORE STORMS OVER THE NORTH IN THE
TAIL END OF MOISTURE CURRENTLY MOVING INTO WY. WILL BE TAKING A
CLOSER LOOK AT THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY AS THE
MOISTURE AXIS BEGINS TO SHIFT EAST CLOSER TO OUR AREA.

RED FLAG WARNING FOR DRY THUNDERSTORMS STILL LOOKS GOOD ACROSS NE
UT/NW CO TODAY. RED FLAG WARNING FOR DRY THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES
FOR SE UT AS WELL. LIGHTNING POTENTIAL INDEX ALSO SHOWING THE
POSSIBILITY FOR ISOLATED STORMS OVER THE WEST ELKS/SAWATCH/SAN
JUAN MTNS THIS AFTERNOON THOUGH COVERAGE EXPECTED TO BE
INSUFFICIENT FOR A FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHT THERE. ALL STORMS WILL
BE CAPABLE OF GUSTY FLOW WINDS.

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 300 AM MDT MON JUN 25 2012

PRECIPITABLE WATER PLOTS AND THE DERIVED GOES IMAGERY SHOWING SOME
BETTER MOISTURE POOLING OVER SOUTHERN ARIZONA EARLY THIS MORNING
AND THIS BEING REFLECTED AT THE SURFACE AS WELL WHERE DEW POINTS
ARE IN THE 50S. GENERAL SOUTHERLY FETCH OVER THE REGION WILL SEND
THIS NORTHWARD TODAY...WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF DIURNALLY DRIVEN
CONVECTION...FOCUSED ON THE HIGHER TERRAIN. QPF AMOUNTS AGAIN LOOK
MARGINAL...ALTHOUGH SOME RAIN WILL HIT THE SFC. STILL NOTHING TO
ESCAPE THE VERY DRY CONDITIONS THAT ARE IN PLACE AND WE WILL BE
CONTINUING THE RED FLAG WARNING THROUGH LATE THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS EASTERN UTAH AND NORTHWEST COLORADO. SOME WEAK
SUBSIDENCE WILL HOLD CONVECTION IN CHECK ACROSS SOUTHWEST
COLORADO...SO EXPECT A DOWN DAY HERE...ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED STORM
OR TWO NOT OUT OF THE CONVECTION BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. NO MAJOR
CHANGES WITH TEMPS TODAY AS THE LOWER VALLEYS MAKE ANOTHER RUN
INTO THE TRIPLE DIGITS.

H5 U/A ANALYSIS AT 00Z DID NOT SHOW ANY HEIGHT FALLS OVER THE
NORTHWEST COAST DOWNSTREAM OF THE PACIFIC SYSTEM SPINNING
OFFSHORE. THIS SHOULD BE CHANGING TONIGHT AS THE UPPER JET CORE
REFORMS ON THE DOWNSTREAM SIDE OF THE SYSTEM...WITH THE LOW MOVING
INTO OREGON BY SUNRISE. THE ASSOC HIGH FALLS OVER THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES AND WESTERN GREAT BASIN BY THE ARRIVAL OF THE TROF LOOK TO
STRENGTHEN THE MID LEVEL WINDS AND PULL THE MOISTURE NORTHWARD
INTO THE 4 CORNERS AND MIDDLE GREEN RIVER VALLEY. PWAT NUMBERS BY
TUESDAY MORNING ARE AOA .75 ALONG THE COLORADO AND UTAH BORDER
ACCORDING TO BULK OF MODEL DATA BUT GFS CONTINUES TO BE A TAD
WETTER PULLING VALUES NEAR 1 INCH UP TO 4 CORNERS BY LATE
AFTERNOON.

STILL CAN NOT FIND A WELL DEFINED WAVE IN THE FLOW TO KICK OFF OR
ORGANIZE STORMS TUESDAY AFTERNOON SO WILL CONTINUE TO FOCUS THE HIGH
POPS OVER THE TERRAIN WITH THE SOUTHEAST UTAH MOUNTAINS INTO THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS FAVORED UNDER THE DIRECT MOISTURE PLUME. FAIRLY
DRY LOW LAYERS WILL ALSO PERSIST UNDER THE WARM REGIME HELPING TO
PREVENT MUCH MOISTURE FROM REACHING THE GROUND OVER THE LOWER
VALLEYS. IN INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS BY THE AFTERNOON MAY LEAD TO
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS...BUT CONFIDENCE IS ON THE LOW SIDE
DUE TO MOISTURE ALOFT POSSIBLY MIXING DOWN SOME AND KEEPING RH
LEVELS ABOVE 15 PERCENT. THE CLOUD COVER AND ADDED MOISTURE MAY ALSO
BRING A SLIGHT DIP IN TEMPERATURES AND DID PUSH TEMPERATURES DOWN A
DEGREE OR TWO. LARGE SCALE ASCENT WILL BE ENHANCED BY A FAVORED JET
LOCATION TUESDAY NIGHT AND WITH THE PLUME OVERHEAD THINK A STRAY
STORM OR TWO WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS SO THE SMALL POPS IN PLACE LOOK ON TRACK.

WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BE
FLATTENED ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE BY THE ENERGY SLIDING ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES. THE MOISTURE PLUME BEGIN
TO BE SUPPRESSED TO THE SOUTH AND EAST BY THE DE-AMPLIFYING FLOW BUT
NOT BEFORE ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION. WITH DYNAMICS A BIT CLOSER
THIS MAY END UP BEING THE MOST ACTIVE PERIOD OF THE FORECAST AND
EXPECT A LITTLE BETTER COVERAGE OF STORMS...WHICH FOR NOW HAVE SOME
CHANCE OF GETTING SOME RAINFALL TO THE GROUND...BUT THIS MAY ALSO
COME WITH WIND AS WELL SO ELEVATED FIRE CONCERNS WILL CONTINUE ALONG
WITH TEMPERATURES REMAINING WELL ABOVE NORMAL.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 300 AM MDT MON JUN 25 2012

ENERGY PASSING WELL NORTH OF OUR AREA FLATTENS HEIGHTS AND PLACES
THE FORECAST AREA BACK INTO DRY WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW THROUGH
THIS PERIOD. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT TO START OFF THE EXTENDED BUT
WILL BE PICKING UP AS THE WEEKEND APPROACHES WITH A NEW PACIFIC
SYSTEM MOVING ONSHORE SUNDAY. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY HELP TO DRAW
MOISTURE NORTHWARD...BUT THAT LOOKS TO HOLD OFF UNTIL THE START OF
THE NEW WORK WEEK. AS A RESULT...HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL BE
THE RULE...WITH CONTINUED CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1108 AM MDT MON JUN 25 2012

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT ALL TAF SITES. ISOLATED HIGH-BASED THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL BE CAPABLE OF GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS.

.FIRE WEATHER...
UPDATED AT 300 AM MDT MON JUN 25 2012

THE DEEPEST MOISTURE SHIFTS INTO EASTERN UTAH AND WRAPS INTO NW
COLORADO TODAY. WILL BE GOING WITH ANOTHER RED FLAG WARNINGS FOR
AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 70 WHERE BEST POTENTIAL FOR
CONVECTION WILL EXIST TODAY. WITH LOW LEVELS STILL DRY...STORMS
WILL AGAIN BE HIGH BASED WITH ANY RAINFALL AMOUNTS GENERALLY LESS
THAN 0.05 INCHES. SO SIGNIFICANT WETTING RAINS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED.
SO EXPECT DRY LIGHTNING TO DOMINATE THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
CONVECTION WITH GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS.

A MIXTURE OF WETTING RAINS AND DRY LIGHTNING REMAIN POSSIBLE
THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
THEN THE SAGGING WESTERLIES BEGIN A DRYING TREND INTO THE
WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY GET WARMER THROUGH THESE PERIODS
KEEPING FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS CRITICAL.

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EASTERN UTAH AND WESTERN
COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED DRY THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE STORMS WILL
INITIALLY FIRE OVER THE MOUNTAINS...BUT WILL DRIFT ACROSS THE
VALLEYS BY LATE IN THE DAY. STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS TO 45 MPH AND
LITTLE RAIN WILL ACCOMPANY THE STORMS. WITH CONDITIONS STILL
CRITICALLY DRY...ANY LIGHTNING COULD SPARK ADDITIONAL WILDFIRES
AND RED FLAG WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR
EASTERN UTAH AND MUCH OF WESTERN COLORADO. THE STORMS WILL
DIMINISH AFTER MIDNIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

THERE IS A CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. THE STORMS WILL BE MOST NUMEROUS OVER THE WESTERN
COLORADO MOUNTAINS. MOST OF THE STORMS WILL PRODUCE VERY LITTLE
RAINFALL...WITH GUSTY WINDS THE PRIMARY CONCERN. OTHERWISE...DRY
AND HOT CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED.
