Area forecast discussion, Dec 29, 9:45 PM MST, 4 hours 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
945 PM MST MON DEC 29 2014
.SYNOPSIS...A COLD UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTINUE OVER THE AREA
THROUGH TONIGHT. THE TROUGH WILL CLOSE OFF INTO A LOW OVER CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA ON TUESDAY...THEN TRACK SLOWLY EAST ACROSS NORTHERN
ARIZONA AND SOUTHERN UTAH THROUGH THURSDAY. VERY COLD AIR WILL
SPILL INTO UTAH FROM THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY.
&&
.DISCUSSION...AN ELONGATED MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS EXTENDS FROM
NORTHERN UT BACK INTO NORTHEAST NV THIS EVENING...WITH SEVERAL
SMALL SCALE VORTICIES EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS AXIS BRINGING AREAS OF
LIGHT SNOW TO NORTHERN UT THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THESE AREAS OF SNOW
HAVE BEEN DISSIPATING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS AS COLD DRY
ARCTIC AIR SPILLS INTO NORTHERN UT...HELPING TO EFFECTIVELY DRY
OUT THE BOUNDARY LAYER. PLAN ANOTHER UPDATE TO REMOVE POPS FROM
REMAINING NORTHERN ZONES SHORTLY.
MEANWHILE A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
BOUNDARY IS RESULTING IN ENHANCED EASTERLY WINDS ALONG THE WASATCH
FRONT. THESE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN OVERNIGHT ALONG THE
WASATCH FRONT AND CACHE VALLEY AS 700MB COLD ADVECTION SPREADS A
BIT FURTHER WEST...RESULTING IN A FAVORABLE SETUP FOR DOWNSLOPE
WINDS...MAXIMIZED ACROSS DAVIS COUNTY TUESDAY MORNING WITH GUSTS
NEAR 65 MPH. GOING WIND HEADLINES HANDLE THIS WELL.
THE UPPER TROUGH IS FORECAST TO EVENTUALLY CLOSE OFF ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN...BEFORE TRANSLATING EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN
AZ WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A VERY
FAVORABLE SETUP FOR HEAVY SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN UT...WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF THE ST GEORGE AREA WHERE DOWNSLOPING NORTHEAST
WINDS WILL GREATLY LIMIT SNOWFALL POTENTIAL.
WILL UPDATE TO ADJUST POPS AND TEMPERATURES...OTHERWISE GOING
FORECAST APPEARS IN GOOD SHAPE.
&&
.AVIATION...AT THE KSLC TERMINAL EXPECT PREDOMINANT WSW WINDS
THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH A 30 PERCENT CHANCE GUSTY EASTERLIES
OCCASIONALLY DEVELOP ACROSS THE AIRFIELD. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS
WILL PREVAIL WITH CIGS GENERALLY BELOW 6 KFT
&&
.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
