AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
526 AM MDT SAT JUN 2 2012

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE EASTERN GREAT
BASIN TODAY. A WEAK RIDGE WILL RETURN FOR SUNDAY. SOUTHWEST FLOW
WILL INCREASE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT.

&&

.DISCUSSION...A WEAK UPPER TROF OVER NV THIS MORNING CONTINUES TO
GENERATE WEAK CONVECTION AHEAD OF IT. LIGHTNING HAS QUIT FOR NOW
AND IT APPEARS LITTLE IF ANY RAIN IS REACHING THE GROUND FROM THE
WEAK CELLS...BUT THEY HAVE BEEN PRODUCING LOCAL GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS.
EXPECT THE CONVECTION TO PICK UP SOMEWHAT WITH THE ADDITION OF
DAYTIME HEATING BUT IT SHOULD BE SUPPRESSED ONCE THE SHORT WAVE
TROF PASSES LATE TODAY ALTHO THERE MAY BE A FEW LINGERING CELLS
OVER EAST CENTRAL UT THIS EVE.

THE RIDGE REBOUNDS OVER THE CWA ON SUN WITH THE AXIS ALONG THE ERN
BORDER. A FEW AIRMASS CELLS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE MTNS SUN
AFTN/EVE BUT THE LACK OF ANY UPPER SUPPORT SHOULD KEEP THESE
ISOLATED AND WEAK.

THIS RIDGE SHIFTS EAST SUN NIGHT/MON AND SWLY FLOW STARTS TO
INCREASE AHEAD OF A DEEP TROF IN THE ERN PAC. THE THERMAL RIDGE
AXIS SHIFTS OVERHEAD MON AND COMBINED WITH THE SOUTH WINDS SHOULD
BRING VERY WARM TEMPS TO THE WASATCH FRONT.

THE DEEP TROF MOVES INTO THE GREAT BASIN ON TUE AND PUSHES A COLD
FRONT INTO THE CWA SOMETIME TUE DEPENDING ON WHICH MODEL IS
FOLLOWED. THE EC IS SOMEWHAT FASTER WITH THE FRONT BUT ALSO
CONTINUES TO DEPICT A LOW CLOSING OFF IN THE BASE OF THE TROF OVER
SRN ID TUE EVE. THE CLOSED LOW MAKES EC SOMEWHAT WETTER WITH A
LITTLE PRECIP FOR THE NRN CWA WHERE THE GFS IS DRY. BOTH MODELS DO
INDICATE STRONG WINDS BOTH AHEAD OF A BEHIND THE FRONT TUE. THE
GFS TIMING WOULD LIKELY RESULT IN A HIGH WIND EVENT ACROSS THE
SALT FLATS AND INTO THE WASATCH FRONT LATE TUE INTO TUE EVE.

MODELS DIVERGE AFTER TUE BUT BOTH REMAIN ESSENTIALLY DRY WITH THE
MAIN DIFFERENCE BEING WHAT TEMPS DO ONCE THE INITIAL STRONG TROF
PASSES.

&&

.AVIATION...THE SLC TERMINAL HAS LESS THAN A 20 PERCENT CHANCE
OF BEING IMPACTED BY A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM THROUGH ABOUT 15Z
AS A WEAK DISTURBANCE MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. THERE IS A BETTER
CHANCE OF THE PASSING SHOWERS PRODUCING GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS. THERE
WILL BE ANOTHER CHANCE FOR GUSTY WINDS FROM SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO IMPACT THE TERMINAL BETWEEN ABOUT 18-23Z.
OTHERWISE PREVAILING LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL SHIFT TO NORTHWEST
AROUND 21Z. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE DAY AND CIGS
SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE 7000 FT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY
AND ACT ON MODEST MID LEVEL MOISTURE TO CREATE ISOLATED HIGH BASED
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN VALLEYS AND POSSIBLY WIDELY
SCATTERED HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION
SUNDAY ALTHOUGH ENOUGH MID LEVEL MOISTURE MAY REMAIN FOR ISOLATED
HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS.

LOCAL BREEZY WINDS COULD CREATE NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE WEST AND SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON BUT FEW IF
ANY LOCATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO ACTUALLY REACH CRITICAL LEVELS.

A STRONGER STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE REGION MONDAY WITH ITS
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH NORTHERN AND CENTRAL UTAH
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE WINDS WILL QUITE STRONG AHEAD
OF THIS FRONT WITH GUSTS TO 50 MPH POSSIBLE. AS A RESULT A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE WESTERN VALLEYS. THIS WATCH
WILL LIKELY BE EXPANDED TO THE SOUTH CENTRAL AND EASTERN VALLEYS
IN THIS AFTERNOONS PACKAGE FOR TUESDAY. CURRENT MODELS SHOW VERY
LITTLE MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM...BUT IF THE COLD CORE OF THE
SYSTEM IS A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH SOME WETTING RAINS ARE POSSIBLE
OVER THE NORTH.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...FIRE WEATHER WATCH FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING
     BELOW 5500 FEET FOR UTZ478-492.

     FIRE WEATHER WATCH FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING
