NWS Salt Lake City, UT wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 10, 1:45 PM MST, 2 hours 50 minutes earlier.
UTAH AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT 245 PM MDT TUE JUL 10 2001 CORRECTION FOR CODED PROBABILITIY OF PRECIPITATION SYNOPSIS...THE VERY MOIST AIR MASS OVER UTAH TONIGHT WILL BEGIN DRYING SLOWLY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. DISCUSSION...CONVECTION STARTED POPPING EARLY TODAY AND EXPECT FAIRLY WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING. INITIAL ACTIVITY IN SOUTHERN UT SHOWED VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT WHICH WAS THE FINAL KEY IN ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR ABOUT THE SOUTHERN HALF OF OUR AREA. THOSE IN THE NORTH ARE GENERALLY MOVING A BIT BUT LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS STILL LIKELY THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. BIGGEST QUESTION FOR THE EVENING IS THE CHANCE WE WILL GET TO CLOUDY TO KEEP THE STRONGER ACTIVITY GOING. FOR NOW NO CHANGES PLANNED FOR THE EVENING PERIOD. THERE SHOULD BE A LITTLE DRYING FOR TOMORROW...MAINLY OVER THE SOUTHWEST AND NORTHEAST. EVEN THERE IT WILL REMAIN MOIST ENOUGH FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION BUT THE RISK OF HEAVY RAINS WILL BE REDUCED. THEN THE AVN IS BRINGING ANOTHER SURGE OF MOISTURE NORTH INTO THE AREA THURSDAY ASSOCIATED WITH ANOTHER SHORTWAVE THAT APPEARS TO EVOLVE FROM AN EASTERLY WAVE. THE CURRENT TRACK ON THIS IS MORE FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA BUT IT DOES HAVE JUST ENOUGH OF A NORTHWEST DIRECTION THAT IT WILL SPREAD SOME MOISTURE BACK INTO NORTHWEST UT AFTER MOSTLY MISSING THE SOUTHWEST. THE SHORTWAVE ITSELF DOESNT GET TO THE NORTH UNTIL LATE THU NIGHT WHICH IS BEYOND THE CURRENT SHORT RANGE FORECAST. NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH IN THE EXISTENCE OR TRACK OF THE IMPULSE TO PUT A GHOST PERIOD IN SO WE WILL WAIT AND DEAL WITH THIS FEATURE IN A LATER PACKAGE IF THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW IT. THE TREND IN THE EXTENDED WILL BE FOR FAIRLY RAPID DRYING IN SOUTHWEST FLOW AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW SETTLES INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THAT WILL ALSO KEEP OUT TEMPERATURES FROM SKYROCKETING BUT IT WILL STILL BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD. THERE IS A COLD FRONT INDICATED IN THE MODELS OVER SOUTHERN ID BY MONDAY AFTERNOON BUT IT MAKES VERY LITTLE PROGRESS SOUTHWARD UNTIL ABOUT TUESDAY EVENING. SO IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE IT WILL PROVIDE ANY COOLING DURING THIS PERIOD. SLC 6442 CDC 6332 SANDERS .SLC...FLASH FLOOD WATCH SOUTHERN UT UNTIL 04Z THIS EVENING.
