Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
926 AM MDT WED MAY 18 2016

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will build in from the west today
through tonight then shift east Thursday ahead of the next Pacific
storm. This next upper low will stall over the Pacific Northwest
through the end of the week with a strong southerly flow over the
Great Basin.

&&

.DISCUSSION...The upper low that has impacted much of the
southwestern CONUS the last couple days will be exiting Arizona
into New Mexico over the next 24 hours, with building high
pressure over Utah and southwest Wyoming. Far southern and eastern
Utah remains under the influence of the exiting low this morning,
with mostly cloudy skies and some isolated shower activity.

Most of the forecast area, however, has mostly sunny skies as
drier and and more stable air slowly begins to work into the area
from the west. This building high pressure will lead to a drying
and warming trend through tomorrow. For today, enough moisture
should still linger allow some isolated to scattered showers
across the area, with the best coverage likely over the southern
mountains.

The forecast was updated this morning to reduce POPs and cloud
cover for the morning hours. Otherwise, the forecast looks good,
and no further updates are planned this morning.

&&

.AVIATION...The SLC terminal will see VFR conditions throughout the
day. Light southeasterly winds will shift to the northwest between
17Z and 19Z. Rain showers are possible over the mountains this
afternoon but should not impact the terminal.

&&

.SLC Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
UT...None.
WY...None.
&&

PUBLIC...Schoening
AVIATION...Jeglum
