Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
1145 AM MDT Sun Jun 7 2020

.UPDATE...Strong to severe thunderstorms formed early this morning
along the tightening low-level baroclinic zone extending from
west-central through northern Utah. The strongest of the storms
formed across northern Utah in the area of strongest shear and
low-level forcing. Showers and thunderstorms will persist along
the still strengthening baroclinic zone across central Utah
through southwest Wyoming. Thunderstorms could turn strong to
severe again later this afternoon as the upper trough advances
into western Utah and upper divergence increases with arrival of
jet maxima during the afternoon.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...A cold, slow moving Pacific storm system will cross
the region through Monday bringing unseasonably cool temperatures
along with unsettled weather. A warming and drying trend will
follow for midweek.

&&

.SHORT TERM (Through 12Z Wednesday)...A broad longwave trough
encompasses much of the western CONUS early this morning, anchored
around an upper low spinning along the Oregon coast. Several
shortwave features are noted rotating through the mean flow, and
will bring periods of precipitation to northern and central Utah
through Monday.

Currently one such shortwave trough is noted in water vapor
imagery lifting through northern Utah, and aiding in a cluster of
showers and thunderstorms north of I-80. These should continue
gradually spreading northeast within the region of larger scale
ascent associated with the passing wave, and continue to impact
areas along the Idaho border through at least Sunrise.

In the wake of this feature a 700mb baroclinic zone noted eastern
Nevada in RAP analysis is forecast to push eastward, as the
upstream upper low continues on an eastward trajectory and pushes
into the interior Pacific Northwest. Increasing lift along this
boundary should allow a band of precipitation to fill in along the
Wasatch Front and adjacent areas this morning, and persist into
the afternoon hours. Cooling in the wake of this boundary should
allow 700mb temps to fall to near -3C or so by late afternoon
dropping snow levels below 8000 feet across northern Utah mainly
north of I-80.

Ahead of this boundary strengthening southwesterly flow will allow
for windy to locally very windy conditions across the southern and
eastern CWA this afternoon. The Wind Advisory for this area looks
in good shape.

The upper low is forecast to continue eastward overnight, and as
it does so colder air will continue to stream into northern and
central Utah in the wake of the departing frontal zone. 700mb
temperatures are expected to fall into the -6C to -7C range
across northern Utah Monday morning, dropping snow levels below
6000 feet. As the trailing mid level trough axis associated with
the passing upper low crosses northern Utah, anticipate an
increase in precipitation Monday morning, which may be locally
enhanced downwind of the Great Salt Lake. Although snow levels may
fall to the upper benches along the Wasatch Front and the valley
floors of the Wasatch Back, any accumulation should remain above
roughly 6500 feet or so during the morning hours. Precipitation
will likely linger into the afternoon before ending as the upper
trough moves east.

With the much colder airmass moving into the area a Hard Freeze
Watch is in effect for the Wasatch Mountain Valleys for both
tonight and Monday night. Held off on upgrading at this time given
concerns regarding potential for cloud cover which would limit
radiational cooling. This airmass will also keep temperatures
across most valleys confined to the 50s on Monday, a good 20
degrees or so below climo. Mid level ridging building into the
region beginning Tuesday will allow for a warming trend heading
into midweek.

.LONG TERM (After 12Z Wednesday)...With high pressure in place,
Utah and southwest Wyoming will see a steady warming trend with
dry conditions for the middle to latter part of the work week.
Maxes are currently expected to be at least 10F above seasonal
normals for Thursday and Friday.

Winds will start to pick up on Friday as a Pacific storm system
makes its way onshore. Global models and ensembles all tend to
show this system impacting the forecast area over the weekend,
bringing cooler temperatures and at least some potential for
precipitation. However, a good amount of spread continues to exist
with regard to the strength of the low along with its track once
it moves onshore, so there is still a good deal of uncertainty at
this time about the precipitation threat for day seven and beyond.

&&

.AVIATION...Showers and thunderstorms now east of the KSLC
terminal will redevelop near the terminal after 20z. Strong
thunderstorms will be possible with gusty/erratic winds, hail,
and brief MVFR ceilings/visibilities in heavier precipitation.
Shower and thunderstorm activity will begin to wind down after
23z, with only lingering light showers in vicinity to the
terminal overnight. Prevailing winds will remain northerly through
the current TAF period.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...Red Flag Warning until 9 PM MDT this evening for UTZ498.

     Wind Advisory until 9 PM MDT this evening for UTZ013-020-021.

     Hard Freeze Watch from late tonight through Tuesday morning for
     UTZ006.

WY...None.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for the western two thirds of
Utah and southwest Wyoming.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Gusty south winds will result in windy conditions across much of
southern Utah. A wind advisory is in effect today for the San
Rafael Swell and Glen Canyon areas along with south central Utah.

These winds will also result in critical fire weather conditions
across south central Utah, where a Red Flag Warning is in effect
from Noon until 9 PM.

A slow moving cold front across northern and central Utah will
bring widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms through much
of the day.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Much colder air will spread across the area late tonight dropping
snow levels to near 6000 feet Monday morning. Rain and snow
showers will continue across northern Utah through Monday with
accumulating snowfall expected above 7500 feet.

This colder air will bring the potential for sub-freezing
temperatures to some outlying areas both early Monday morning, and
late Monday night into Tuesday morning. A Hard Freeze Watch is in
effect for the Wasatch Mountain Valleys during this timeframe.

Drier and warmer weather is expected for the middle portion of the
upcoming week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed. Please relay any information
about observed severe weather to the NWS while following all
