The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Salt Lake City, UT wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Jun 1, 3:30 PM MDT, 5 hours 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 1, 3:30 PM MDT, 5 hours 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT 330 PM MDT Sat Jun 1 2019 .SYNOPSIS...A slow moving upper level system will continue to gradually shift eastward through early next week. This will bring a warming trend to Utah. && .SHORT TERM (Through 00Z Wednesday)...An upper level low continues to gradually cut off from the mean flow over central California this afternoon. Ahead of this low, relatively strong southwesterly flow continues in the mid-levels. With temperatures reaching to the mid-70s in most valley locations across northern and central Utah, somewhere around 500 J/kg of MLCAPE has developed. This combined with deep layer shear around 30-40kts has allowed a few isolated thunderstorms to develop. One storm in particular, near Strawberry Reservoir, has managed to maintain rotation for at least an hour. Outside of a storm or two capitalizing on terrain enhancement of localized vorticity pools, expect most storms to remain more pulse-based in nature. The only exception may be storms closer to a wave shifting north across eastern Nevada. More forcing for organized convection exists in this area...but the threat area is largely confined outside of the CWA. A few storms may sneak into far western Utah through this evening. The upper level low will continue to gradually fill Sunday. Expect another round of mainly terrain based convection across the state. By Monday...the upper level low is expected to continue to weaken and begin gradually shifting eastward across the Desert Southwest. Another round of convection, mainly tied to the terrain can be expected Monday afternoon and evening as well as Tuesday afternoon and evening. Temperatures will be on the rise...remaining near normal through the short term forecast period. .LONG TERM (After 00Z Wednesday)...The filling trough from earlier in the week will continue a downstream translation Tuesday night, this in advance of a more energetic trough that will likely impact the area leading into next weekend. Short wave ridging will build between to two features beginning Wednesday, with a strengthening southwest flow aloft replacing that for the late week period. Sensibly, the mid/late week period will be trending warmer (some 5-7 degrees above climo by Thu), and dry conditions will prevail (though still can't rule out largely isolated terrain based convection diurnally, focused north). Model inconsistencies continue to exist regarding the northern branch trough evolution as it amplifies south into the northern Great Basin Friday on. Regardless of this, strengthening pre-frontal winds are expected to develop across either much, or all of the area Friday. That said, strength and significance are dependent on frontal timing and net trough amplification. The resultant cool down in the post frontal environment, the same. Leaning towards a somewhat more amplified solution attm, primarily due to the advertised energy of the upstream jet, and bulk of ensemble solutions pointing towards those signals. && .AVIATION...Thunderstorm buildups are anticipated to increase near the southern/eastern gates late this afternoon prior to lifting north toward the terminal. A 30% chance exists that thunderstorms will directly impact the terminal during the early evening hours, while a 50% chance exists that gusty erratic winds will switch the prevailing northwest winds in place. VFR conditions are expected to be maintained. && .SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... UT...None. WY...None. && Kruse/Merrill/Cheng For more information from NOAA's National Weather Service visit... http://weather.gov/saltlakecity For frequently asked questions about the Area Forecast Discussion visit... http://weather.gov/saltlakecity/general/afd_faqs.php
