AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
1044 AM MDT WED APR 13 2016

.SYNOPSIS...A SERIES OF WEATHER DISTURBANCES WILL BRING
PRECIPITATION TO NORTHERN UTAH THROUGH TONIGHT. A COLD SPRING
STORM SYSTEM WILL ENTER THE GREAT BASIN FROM THE NORTHWEST
THURSDAY. THIS STORM WILL LINGER OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...MSAS SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTS A SHALLOW BOUNDARY
DRAPED ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH WITH PLACEMENT AS FAR SOUTH AS
SOUTHERN SALT LAKE COUNTY ATTM. WITH AN INCREASINGLY DIFFLUENT
FLOW ALOFT AND AMPLE MOISTURE IN PLACE /PWAT RUNNING OVER .60
INCHES PER 12Z KSLC RAOB/ NUMEROUS SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED
CONVECTION EXIST THIS MORNING ALONG AND UPSTREAM OF THIS BOUNDARY.
THIS BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO SAG SOUTH INTO UTAH COUNTY THIS
AFTERNOON EXPANDING COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS AS IT
PROGRESSES. MADE MINOR TWEAKS TO POP GRIDS TO MATCH LATEST
TRENDS IN OBS AND HI-RES MODELS...AND LIMITED THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL FROM SCATTERED TO ISOLATED AS VERTICAL PROFILES REMAIN
NEAR NEUTRAL WITH ONLY SLIGHT CONDITIONAL INSTABILITY POTENTIAL
THIS AFTERNOON.

MORNING WATER VAPOR PLACES THE CORE OF A STRONG CLOSED LOW OFF THE
PACNW CARVING ESE. FURTHER ENCROACHMENT WILL AID INCREASED
DIFFLUENCE ALOFT ACROSS THE NORTH AND WHEN COUPLED WITH PASSAGE
OF WEAK WAVES EMBEDDED IN THE MEAN FLOW...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS WILL BE MAINTAINED ACROSS THE NORTH TONIGHT. SOUTH OF
THIS BOUNDARY A DRIER AIRMASS WILL ALLOW FOR A CONTINUATION OF
VERY WARM CONDITIONS AND LARGELY CLEAR SKIES...WITH GUSTY
SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE WINDS DEVELOPING AS FLOW ALOFT MIXES AND
THE NET MSLP GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN ADVANCE OF THIS TROUGH.

AS THE TROUGH PROGRESSES ON SHORE TONIGHT IT WILL CONTINUE TO
AMPLIFY FORCING A PROGRESSIVE WAVE TO EJECT NE ACROSS SOUTHERN
IDAHO TOMORROW MORNING...THIS DRIVING A FRONTOGENIC COLD FRONT
ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH THROUGH MIDDAY AND INTO CENTRAL PORTIONS DURING
THE AFTERNOON. WIDESPREAD RAIN IS EXPECTED ALONG THE WASATCH FRONT
WITH AND BEHIND PASSAGE...WITH SNOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS
AND FALLING INTO THE WASATCH BACK TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THE CORE OF
THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY
EVENTUALLY FORMING A CLOSED LOW OVER THE 4-CORNERS FRIDAY NIGHT
THAT WILL STALL BUT GRADUALLY FILL THROUGH THIS WEEKEND...THOUGH
LOW/MID LEVEL UPGLIDE WITHIN A TROWEL WILL MAINTAIN SIGNIFICANT
AT TIMES PRECIP OVER AND EAST OF THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL/SOUTHERN
MTNS. STRONG EASTERLY FLOW ALOFT /H7 WINDS AROUND 40 KNOTS/ MAY
DRIVE STRONG EASTERLIES ACROSS THE NORTHERN WASATCH FRONT SATURDAY
INTO SUNDAY MORNING BUT ITS NOT QUITE A SLAM DUNK FOR DOWNSLOPE
POTETIAL YET AS STRENGTH OF FLOW AND MSLP GRADIENT CONTINUE TO
VARY IN GUIDANCE.

PRIMARY FOCUS THIS SHIFT IS TO ADDRESS ANY NEED FOR WINTER
HIGHLIGHTS OVER THE MOUNTAINS...AND POTENTIALLY WASATCH BACK/SW
WYOMING BEGINNING TOMORROW.

&&

.AVIATION...NORTHERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AT THE SLC
TERMINAL FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE DAY...THOUGH THERE IS A 40
PERCENT CHANCE WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT AND EVEN WESTERLY IN BETWEEN
ROUNDS OF SHOWERS. SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN
UTAH...AND MAY TEMPORARILY REDUCE CEILINGS NEAR 4000 FEET AGL
THROUGH THE DAY.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...NONE.
WY...NONE.
