Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
845 AM MDT TUE AUG 16 2016

.SYNOPSIS...An upper level low pressure system over southern Utah
will move into the four corners region and weaken later today. A
second low pressure system will enter the western Great Basin
tonight, then settle in along the Nevada and Utah border area
for Wednesday through Thursday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Water vapor loop shows the first weakening wave making its way
into the four corners as the next approaches from northern
California. MDCARS wind observations place a 50-85kt northwesterly
jet from northern California into Nevada and northern Arizona.
GOES/HRRR/12Z KSLC RAOB indicate the precipitable water value
ranges from 0.35"-0.50" mountains to 0.75"-0.90" far southern and
southeastern valleys.

Expect most convection to develop along and east of the mountains
today given the moisture pattern and progression of the first
aforementioned system. Cant rule out an isolated shower or
thunderstorm along the I-15 corridor on the edge of the
instability axis.

Otherwise a warm day on tap.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
The upper level low pressure system currently over south- central
Utah will continue east and slowly weaken as it moves through the
four corners region later today. A second upper low entering
northern California will continue into the western Great Basin
this evening. This second low will east across northern Nevada
tonight through early Wednesday, then stall along the northeast
Nevada/northwest Utah border region Wednesday night through
Thursday.

Showers/isolated thunderstorms associated with the southern Utah
upper low are for the most part east of the Colorado river and
across far northern Arizona early this morning. Showers/isolated
thunderstorms should pop up again near the core of the low over
extreme southern through east-central Utah later this morning.
Suspect that this convection will dissipate fairly quickly by this
evening with only lingering light showers as a shortwave ridge
moves into the region.

The second upper low moving into the Great Basin midweek will
bring the threat of showers and storms back into western and
northern Utah as early as late Tuesday night, with the best chance
more towards Wednesday afternoon/evening. Dynamic support for lift
from the upper low along with decent upper divergence in the
northern/eastern flanks of the low will be supportive of
convection, especially Wednesday afternoon and early evening. The
problem will be the available moisture. Recent model runs
continuing to show drier air drawn into western Utah by the low,
with the best concentration of moisture across the eastern and
southern portions of the state. For now it appears that the best
chance for convection will follow the moisture which would put
northeast through east-central Utah and southwest Wyoming as the
areas most likely to see scattered convection with the potential
for locally heavy rainfall on Wednesday afternoon/evening.

The upper low will begin a slow eastward trek across northern Utah
on Thursday. This eastward advance will drag the drier air over
more of the forecast area, leaving only the far eastern zone with
any significant convection through Thursday evening.

The deepening upper trough over the northern Rockies/northern
plains states Thursday night will have more of an impact on temps
than precip as the trough continues southeast along the
continental divide Friday. The latest 00Z run of the ECMWF does
carve back a significant shortwave and the cold air supporting it
back into the northern Great Basin late Friday. Inclined at this
point to look at this solution as an outlier as the model has been
having problems locking on a solution the past several days. For
now will bias toward the GFS solution will Pops somewhat on the
low side with only modestly lower temps across the far north
heading into the first half of the weekend.

The trough dropping in from Montana/Idaho on Friday and Friday
night has definitely trended further west in the 00Z runs of the
GFS and ECMWF, with the southern portion of the compact shortwave
making a more direct hit on northern Utah and southwest Wyoming.
The primary effect for the forecast area would be cooler
temperatures and increased northerly winds for late Friday through
Saturday. Have trended the wind/temperature forecast toward these
ideas, but will wait for a little more run-to-run consistency
before decreasing the temperature forecast even further.

The best moisture and instability with this trough still looks to
remain northeast of the CWA, but have increased POPs a bit for
Friday night to account for the idea that this wave could initiate
some convection across the area. A drier airmass still looks to work
into the forecast area in the northwest flow behind this trough,
with significantly decreased coverage of showers expected through
the weekend.

This change in model guidance has created more uncertainty for the
Monday/Tuesday forecast. There was once good agreement about a
moisture return from the south at the beginning of next week, but
this is now less firm in the models. Have kept an increase in POPs
and cloud cover in the forecast for now, but there is a chance that
the ridge builds directly overhead, either keeping the airmass
relatively dry, or making the moisture return weaker or less
organized.

&&

.AVIATION...
The SLC terminal will see VFR conditions throughout the
day with some scattered clouds. Southeast winds are expected to
shift to the northwest between 18Z and 20Z. There is a 20 percent
chance that showers in the vicinity of the terminal will result in
periods of gusty and/or erratic winds this afternoon and early this
evening.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Yesterday's ERC values were above the 97th percentile across
portions of northern Utah, while stations across far southern
Utah remain below the 50th percentile.

Gusty southwest winds and low RH are possible tomorrow across
southwest Utah and Dixie where fuels are getting closer to
becoming critical.

Through the week it appears as temperatures will cool slightly with
an increase in RH particularly far Southern Utah and east of
I-15. This is due to the best mid instability for convection being
across these areas. Lightning and gusty/erratic winds are the
primary threats.

A strong cold front may move into northern and central Utah from
Wyoming this weekend providing cooler conditions while stabilizing
these areas from convective development.
