Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 4:12 PM MDT, 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT 412 PM MDT MON JUN 13 2016 .SYNOPSIS...The upper trough near the Nevada border late this afternoon will sweep east across the state tonight. A second cold Pacific storm system will settle into the Pacific Northwest by Tuesday, creating windy and warm conditions across much of the region through midweek. && .SHORT TERM (Until 06Z Friday)...The upper level trough along the Utah/Nevada border late this afternoon will sweep east across the state overnight. Ahead of the advancing trough a shortwave lifting to the northeast has spawned scattered convection, with strong thunderstorms generating large hail along the central Wasatch Front. The remaining strong convection associated with this shortwave will press into northeast Utah/southwest Wyoming late this afternoon, then end early this evening. A second area of organized convection will persist along the advancing trough axis across western/northern Utah this evening. Looking at less of hail threat and more convective wind gusts. Drier air and dynamic subsidence trailing the trough should bring an end to most convection after midnight. The next cold core upper trough will settle into the Pacific Northwest Tuesday. This trough will produce an increasingly strong and dry southwest flow across the eastern Great Basin beginning Tuesday. The near 700mb baroclinic zone associated with the upper trough will reach the northwest corner of Utah by early Wednesday. Showers/storms will likely remain close to and north of this boundary, leaving little threat for convective precip outside of far northwest Utah midweek. The baroclinic zone will get nudged a bit further east late Wednesday night/Thursday. Shortwaves rotating out of the Pacific Northwest trough will ripple along the low-level boundary and focus any convection along and north of the boundary. Modest strengthening of the upper ridge across the southern plains and southern Rockies will force the above mentioned baroclinic back to north, removing convection from Utah Thursday evening. .LONG TERM (After 06Z Friday)...Utah and southwest Wyoming remain under a steady southwest flow Thursday evening, with a Pacific trough staying off to the northwest. A weak lobe from this trough could rotate through primarily Nevada and Idaho Thursday night, with some weak low level cold advection for northern Utah. For the most part, though, the CWA should remain dry and warm heading into Friday. For Friday through the weekend, the area remains between the trough over the Pacific Northwest and a ridge building over New Mexico and Colorado. This will lead to a warming trend through the rest of the extended forecast period, with temperatures reaching 10+ degrees above seasonal averages by Sunday/Monday. && .AVIATION...Showers and thunderstorms which have concentrated over and to the south of the terminal should weak or dissipated after 23Z. Looking at enhanced outflow southeast winds persisting through the balance of the afternoon. Showers and/or isolated thunderstorms could return after 01Z as the upper level trough currently along the Nevada border advances east across northern Utah. Looking at a short period of west winds behind the passing trough mid-evening, followed by a return to enhanced east-southeast drainage winds by late evening. Ceilings in any shower or storm could reach down to near 5000 feet this evening. && .FIRE WEATHER...The upper level trough entering western Utah late this afternoon will generate scattered showers/isolated thunderstorms through this evening. The drier southwest flow aloft behind the exiting trough will reduce convection to isolated coverage over mainly the higher terrain Tuesday. Windy and dry conditions will develop midweek as the cold core upper level trough settling into the Pacific Northwest increases the southwest flow aloft across the Great Basin. Will have to check on the fuel status the next couple of days to see if fine fuels have cured. If the fine fuels are ready, then fire weather highlights may become necessary later in the week. && .SLC Watches/Warnings/Advisories... UT...None. WY...None. && SHORT TERM...CONGER LONG TERM...SCHOENING AVIATION... FIRE WEATHER...
