...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM MDT THIS EVENING 
FOR NORTHEASTERN GARFIELD AND EASTERN WAYNE COUNTIES...

At 616 PM MDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy 
rain across the warned area. Between 0.5 and 1 inch of rain has 
fallen. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly.

HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Thunderstorms producing
         flash flooding.

SOURCE...Radar.

IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams,
         normally dry washes, and slot canyons.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  mainly rural areas of North Central Garfield and South Central 
  Wayne Counties. Additionally, the following slot canyons will 
  experience flash flooding: Death Canyon, Slideanide Canyon, Poison 
  Springs Canyon, Happy Canyon, Two Step Canyon, Burr Slot Canyon, 
  East Fork Monoxide Canyon, and Adobe Swale.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood

washes, streams, and rivers can become raging killer currents in a 
matter of minutes, even from distant rainfall.

Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where 
you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become 
killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or 
creeks.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
313 PM MDT Fri Aug 23 2024

.SYNOPSIS...The last day of a monsoon surge will bring the threat
of strong thunderstorms to southern and eastern Utah through this
evening. Meanwhile, high end critical fire weather conditions
continue across western Utah...along with strong, gusty winds.
Another round of strong, gusty winds can be expected across much
of the region Saturday.

&&

.SHORT TERM (Through 12Z Sunday)...The last day of the latest
monsoon surge is on tap today...with a quick decrease in PW values
through the afternoon and evening from west to east. Afternoon
upper air and satellite analysis indicates broad upper level
diffluence across the region. A deep, anomalously strong upper
level trough is nearing the Oregon Coast.

With SBCAPE values nearing 2000 J/kg (or up to 3000 J/kg if you
believe the latest RAP analysis) and deep layer shear on the order
of 45-50kts, the set up is more than sufficient for strong,
organized thunderstorms capable of strong winds and large hail. In
addition, given the anomalously high PW values (on order of
150-200% of normal), stronger storms and/or training cells will be
capable of producing flash flooding.

Not to be out done, the western side of the state is experiencing
very strong winds with wind gusts in excess of 60 mph across the
Tooele Valley and the Great Salt Lake Desert. Strong gusty winds
will continue into Saturday, though valley floors and other lower
elevation areas may see winds decrease substantially for the
overnight period. A high wind warning was issued for the Great
Salt Lake Desert and Tooele and Rush Valleys. Wind advisories
continue for many valleys of the state Saturday.

Given single digit humidities and very strong winds, high end
critical fire weather conditions continue for the western portion
of the state into the evening. Overnight recoveries will be
poor...with another round of high end critical fire weather
conditions Saturday. Red Flag Warnings continue to be in effect.

.LONG TERM (After 12Z Sunday), Issued 331 AM MDT... The period
begins with an anomalously deep trough over the Northern Rockies
and Great Basin. With the trough axis along the Nevada/Utah state
line, enough residual moisture will be present to support a chance
for afternoon showers and thunderstorms over southeast Utah, with
some potential over the Uinta Mountains as well, where snow level
could dip to around 11 thousand feet. With dry air in place over
extreme southwest Utah, some potential will still exist for
critical fire weather conditions, but even 75th percentile winds
remain just below criteria.

Generally dry weather is expected on Monday and Tuesday, as roughly
90 percent of ensemble solutions favor a generally flat ridge over
the Great Basin, with an associated dry westerly flow. The remaining
10 percent suggest a more amplified ridge with some returning mid
level moisture.

Greater uncertainty emerges for Wednesday, and especially Thursday.
Roughly 75 percent of ensemble solutions favor yet another trough
sweeping across the Northern Rockies into the Northern Plains, with
the remaining 25 percent offering a somewhat deeper and slower
solution, with moisture advecting into southern Utah.  Given
uncertainty, low chances (20-30 percent)for precipitation over
southern Utah on Wednesday and Thursday seem appropriate.

&&

.AVIATION...KSLC...Drier air moving into the region yields a more
limited convective chance through Friday evening. Further drying
will result in very minimal convective chances Saturday. Biggest
impact at terminal likely with gusty southerly winds. During the
daytime both Friday and Saturday, generally expect sustained
southerly values around 20-30 kts with gusts 30-40 kts or so.
Overnight, gusts may become more periodic, but times where surface
flow relaxes may then yield low level wind shear concern given the
strong winds remaining 1-2+ kft AGL.

.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Any lingering convection
gradually expected to wane this evening, with clearer conditions
overnight as drier air continues to move in. Southerly wind gusts at
many locations will persist, though potentially become more periodic
in nature overnight (especially at more sheltered terminals). If so,
will see some possibility for low level wind shear concern given
that low level flow 1-2+ kft AGL will remain quite strong (roughly
30-40 kts or so). Further drying will result in convection becoming
even more isolated Saturday, but strong wind gusts (many terminals
in the 30-40 kt range) will continue during much of the day.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A relatively high end period of critical fire
weather conditions will continue through this evening with strong
winds and single digit humidities across western Utah. Poor
overnight recoveries are expected tonight, with an average of
20-30% humidities. Another day of high end critical fire weather
conditions is expected Saturday afternoon and evening, with
widespread gusts in excess of 50-55 mph and humidities in the
single digits to low teens. A cold front will cross the area
Sunday, bringing cooler, almost fall-like temperatures.

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...Red Flag Warning until midnight MDT Saturday night for UTZ478-
     492-495.

     High Wind Warning until 10 PM MDT Saturday for UTZ101-102.
