Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
350 AM MDT Thu Aug 22 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Almost continuous thunderstorm development across
southern Utah is forecast through Friday resulting from deep
moisture. An area of low pressure from the northwest will
gradually track toward the region, allowing for showers and
thunderstorms across central and northern Utah as well as stronger
winds for Friday. Cooler temperatures will arrive for many
following the passage of a cold front over the weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM (Through 12Z/6AM Saturday)...

Today into tomorrow is setting up to a little different from the
typical diurnally initiated thunderstorms we might see. That is
not to say thunderstorms won't fire during the afternoon/evening
hours today and Friday, because they certainly will. However,
scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to almost be
continuously initializing in the south from now through Friday
night. And that does include nighttime convection.

Already in the overnight hours, a few thunderstorms have tracked
across Zion NP and across southwest Utah. An MCV is tracking
through northern Arizona at this hour and is forecast to generally
track northward this morning toward Utah. With an unstable
atmosphere in southwest Utah and potent moisture in place (PW
values of 1.2 to 1.4), continued development of thunderstorms in
southwest and southern Utah is forecast this morning. Some of
these thunderstorms will be capable of producing heavy rain and
localizing flash flooding.

As 1.0+ PW values race their way northward this morning, we'd
only expected additional thunderstorm development to expand in
coverage into central and northern Utah. The moisture in southern
Utah will not go anywhere and as a result, with such potent
moisture in place, a flood watch seems like the right call for
risk of flash flooding in vulnerable areas like slot canyons,
normally dry washes, creeks and streams, recent burn scars, and
other low- lying and flood- prone locations.

All-the-while, an area of low pressure centered to the northwest
will continue to influence our weather headed into Friday. A very
strong pressure gradient will result in strong southerly winds for
the western half of the state, starting very early in the morning
and persisting well into the evening. It may even be tough to get
winds to decrease headed into the overnight hours with winds
still forecast between 25 and 30 mph in the critical layer, ahead
of a cold frontal passage. Winds across the west desert and
southwest Utah, especially along and south of I-80 have a near
100% chance of exceeding 40 mph wind gusts with isolated areas
where 50+mph winds are forecast. As a result, wind advisory
criteria has been considered this forecast package but will let
the day crew make the final decision for tomorrows headlines.

.LONG TERM (After 12Z/6AM Saturday)...An anomalously deep trough
will be moving into the Great Basin on Saturday. Our area will be
ahead of this trough on Saturday with strong southwesterly flow
encompassing the entire area with surface winds gusting 30-40 mph
across most locations Saturday afternoon. Wind gusts 50+ mph will be
possible across higher exposed terrain. This approaching trough will
also help to shift our monsoon moisture further east. High
temperatures on Saturday will be a few degrees below normal as
heights start to fall ahead of the frontal passage. This mostly dry
frontal passage will occur overnight Saturday resulting in
temperatures dropping another ~10 degrees compared to Saturday.
Highs on Sunday will have it feeling like the end of September,
rather than the end of August. Even though drier air will accompany
this trough, any lingering moisture could result in some light
precipitation. There is ~15% chance that the highest terrain of the
Wasatch and Uintas could see their first snowflakes of the season,
but limited moisture will prevent accumulating snow.

This trough will shift east leaving a dry westerly flow in its wake
with temperatures slowly climbing back to near normal by Tuesday.
Guidance starts to diverge by the middle of next week. 53% of
members suggest another trough could graze us to the north and bring
reinforcing cooler than normal air and some precipitation chances.
The other 47% of solutions keep this trough well to the north with
near normal temperatures and dry conditions persisting.

&&

.AVIATION...KSLC...VFR conditions will persist for the KSLC terminal
through the period. Southerly winds will increase through the day
with gusts >20kts during the day. Moisture in place will result in
convection developing near the terminal after ~17Z that could result
in brief MVFR conditions as heavy rain could lead to reduced VIS.
Additionally, outflow boundaries nearby may create brief wind shifts
across the terminal.

.REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Morning convection
across the far southern airspace will continue through sunrise
resulting in intermittent MVFR conditions from reduced VIS due to
heavy rain. During the day this convection will spread into the
rest of the airspace as monsoon moisture leads to scattered storms
areawide. Strong southerly flow will lead to gusty southerly
winds during the day along with erratic wind gusts and direction
from convective outflow boundaries.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Monsoon moisture remains in place for Thursday
with storms along and east of I-15 as a wave moves into southern
Utah from Arizona Thursday morning. Drier conditions will exist
near the Nevada border, but critical RH values will be isolated
and short lived along with southwesterly wind gusts 30-40 mph.

By Friday, this moisture shifts even further east as high
pressure to the southeast shifts further east resulting in a drier
southwesterly flow dominating. Additionally, approaching low
pressure across the PNW will enhance southwesterly winds during
the day on Friday with widespread gusts 30-40 mph along and west
of I-15 with isolated 40-50 mph gusts across more exposed
high terrain. Relative humidity will be near critical along the
Utah/Nevada border with higher RH as you approach the I-15
corridor.

The PNW low will continue to move towards the Great Basin with
winds staying elevated on Saturday and drier air shifting further
east towards the I-15 corridor that could result in isolated areas
of critical fire weather. A cold front will move through late
Saturday into Sunday with temperatures much cooler than normal and
winds relaxing behind the front as they shift to a northerly
direction. RH recoveries will benefit from the cooler conditions.
These improved winds and RH will last into early next week.
