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 2, 11:11 AM MDT, 3 hours 5 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 11:11 AM MDT, 3 hours 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT 1111 AM MDT Sun Jun 2 2019 .SYNOPSIS...A slow moving upper level low pressure system over California will gradually shift eastward through early in the upcoming week. A warming trend will develop across Utah during the week. && .DISCUSSION...A slowly filling upper level low is currently located across California. Several embedded shortwaves are rotating around the eastern periphery of the low...northward through Nevada and Utah. This has spawned weak convection across west central Utah and the Salt Flats this morning. Expect the wave responsible for this early convection to shift north through the late morning hours. HREF guidance supports destabilization with MUCAPE values near 1000-1500 J/kg by later this afternoon across the northern half of Utah. Deep layer shear will hover around 25-30 kts, right on the threshold for the potential for organized convection. The best shear looks to be on the periphery of the best instability. Expect...much like yesterday...thunderstorms to develop and to be mainly pulse type convection in nature. But a few thunderstorms will be briefly capable of organization and attendant small hail and gusty wind threats...especially in areas with both maximized instability and deep layer shear combined with beneficial terrain interactions. Updated the forecast to increase pops this morning to better match current trends and increased pops further south and west based on a variety of CAMs members producing convection as far south as Cedar City. No additional updates are anticipated. && .AVIATION...Northwest winds currently in place at the KSLC terminal are expected to prevail into this evening under VFR conditions. This said, once again after 21z thunderstorm buildups are anticipated to increase near the southern/eastern gates prior to lifting north toward the terminal. A 30% chance exists that thunderstorms will directly impact the terminal late afternoon/eve, while a 50% chance exists that gusty erratic winds will switch the prevailing northwest winds to a more southerly orientation within the 22-03z window. && .SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... UT...None. WY...None. && Kruse/Merrill 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
