Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
956 PM MST Tue Jan 3 2017

.SYNOPSIS...A warm front will lift northward across the state
tonight. A cold upper level trough will then swing south across
the region Wednesday night through Thursday night.

&&

.DISCUSSION...An increasingly moist westerly flow is over the
Great Basin this evening downstream from an elongated closed low
off the OR coast. Low level warm advection is starting across the
CWA and light radar returns have been increasing over the west.

The closed low is forecast to become more circular and start to
swing inland later tonight with weak short wave ridging developing
over the Great Basin and warm advection lift becoming stronger
over UT. Expect snow to become widespread across the north
especially where cold air remains trapped near the surface while
any precip across west central and swrn UT could fall as rain.

The low amplitude short wave ridge shifts overhead tomorrow and we
get into the warm sector with precip flipping to rain or a rain
snow mix in the valleys south of about Ogden. There is a small
chance that the cold air near the surface remains stubbornly in
place and precip might not switch to rain in the Salt Lake and
Tooele valleys. Heavy snow will continue from about Ogden north.

The closed low shifts inland and begins to shear ewd on Wed with
it merging with the wrn end of a large cold trof dropping into the
plains. This sends a cold front south thru the CWA Wed night thru
Thu with precip changing back to snow in the valleys along the
north of the front. New NAM is slower moving the front south thru
the CWA and keeps precip going over central and srn UT thru much
of Thu night. It does clear the CWA by about 12z Fri however,
similar to the other guidance.

Current suite of Winter Weather Highlights looks on track with the
possible exception of the central and srn Wasatch Front during the
day Wed, altho snow should still have a significant impact in
these areas Wed night/Thu morning. Will probably need to expand
winter highlights into srn UT for late Wed night thru Thu night
but it remains a little too soon for that tonight.

No updates planned at this time.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR conditions will prevail past midnight at the KSLC
terminal. MVFR or occasional IFR in snow will develop around 09Z
with a chance of this not developing until 10-11z. Snow could
change over to rain with low end VFR or MVFR after about 16-17z
Wed. Light southeasterly surface winds will prevail overnight but
there is a chance that winds become light northerly or light and
variable at times until about 16z Wednesday.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...Winter Storm Warning from midnight tonight to 5 PM MST Thursday
     for UTZ007>010.
