AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
1237 PM MDT WED JUL 8 2015

.SYNOPSIS...ABUNDANT MOISTURE ALONG WITH WEAK WEATHER DISTURBANCES
MOVING THROUGH THE REGION WILL GENERATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH THIS EVENING. A DRIER SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW DEVELOPS FOR
TOMORROW. A BROAD UPPER LOW WILL LIFT THROUGH THE WESTERN GREAT
BASIN LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...QUICK UPDATE TO INCREASE POPS IN SOUTHERN UTAH AS
CONVECTION HAS BECOME A BIT MORE WIDESPREAD.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUES TO MOVE THROUGH NORTHERN UTAH THIS MORNING. HAVE
INCREASED POPS A LITTLE BIT THERE TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. MORE
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE OVER SOUTHERN UTAH. DO
EXPECT A LITTLE CLEARING AFTER THIS INITIAL LINE OF STORMS GOES
THROUGH. THIS WILL ALLOW THINGS TO WARM A BIT AND TRIGGER ANOTHER
ROUND OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. MAIN THREAT WILL BE HEAVY RAIN ESPECIALLY FOR THE CENTRAL
AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE.

&&

.AVIATION...THE SLC TERMINAL IS EXPECTED TO HAVE VFR CONDITIONS
THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. HOWEVER...THERE IS A 10 PERCENT CHANCE OF
BRIEF MVFR VISIBILITIES IF THE TERMINAL WERE TO BE DIRECTLY IMPACTED
BY A THUNDERSTORM THIS AFTERNOON AND/OR EVENING. SOUTHEAST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO BECOME NORTHWEST BETWEEN 2000-2200 UTC. ADDITIONAL
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS NRN UTAH THIS
AFTERNOON AND THERE IS A 40 PERCENT CHANCE THAT THE TERMINAL WILL BE
IMPACTED BY ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DURING THE COURSE OF THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS THERE
WILL BE A GRADUAL DRYING TREND FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. THUNDERSTORMS
WILL TEND TO BECOME HIGHER BASED WITH A GREATER THREAT OF
GUSTY/ERRATIC WINDS.

SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP TODAY AND PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
LOCALLY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED IN DIXIE
TODAY...WITH RH HIGHER FURTHER NORTH. GUSTY WINDS BECOME MORE
