Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
930 AM MDT TUE AUG 2 2016

.SYNOPSIS...A little moisture will spread into northern Utah today
with drier conditions returning Wednesday behind a cold front.
Moisture will remain in place across southern Utah today through
Wednesday then spread northward again Thursday through Friday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms and showers have developed
along the Utah/Idaho border this morning as a weak disturbance
seen on water vapor satellite is moving northeast. The GFS is the
only model that depicts QPF with this feature, although it is
displaced a little too far south. However, based on the GFS the
tail end of this disturbance will linger across the northern
Wasatch and into southwest Wyoming this afternoon. So current
forecast of isolated thunderstorms looks good for this afternoon
in those areas but have added some pops for the northern Wasatch
and northern portions of the Great Salt Lake Desert for this
morning.

Farther south, an extensive cloud cover remains in place over
southeast portions of the CWA so increased sky coverage to mostly
cloudy for this morning and expanded a slight chance of pops to
the area between Hanksville and Bryce Canyon as radar picking up
echoes there currently.

Updated to lower amount of cloud cover over the Uinta Basin as
well as in the Sevier valley this morning.

&&

.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 19Z and 21Z. There is a 20 percent
chance that outflow from nearby showers will result in periods of
gusty erratic winds at the terminal this afternoon into early
this evening.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...The current forecast looks in decent shape with
the potential for dry lightning over the northwest fire zones of
478 and 479 as well as west central fire zone of 492. One concern
though is that the lightning activity may extend well into the
night and will be considering extending the RFW beyond midnight as
another disturbance interacts with the limited moisture. The main
focus will likely be over zone 492 and southeast portion of 478.

&&

.SLC Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
UT...Red Flag Warning until 10 PM MDT this evening for UTZ492.

     Red Flag Warning until 10 PM MDT this evening for UTZ478-479.

WY...None.
