UTAH AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
943 AM MDT FRI JUN 8 2001
SYNOPSIS...SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL INCREASE ACROSS UTAH ON TODAY
AND SATURDAY. EXPECT WINDY CONDITIONS WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ON FRIDAY. DRIER AIR MOVES INTO
THE STATE ON SATURDAY FOR PARTLY SUNNY SKIES WITH WINDS CONTINUING.
DISCUSSION...AN IMPRESSIVE BAND OF ALTOCUMULUS MOVING ACROSS
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL UTAH THIS MORNING. THIS MID LEVEL MOISTURE
SHOULD FUEL UP SOME MOUNTAIN THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
STATEWIDE. A FEW STORMS MAY DRIFT INTO THE VALLEY LOCATIONS ON THE
SOUTHWEST FLOW THAT HAS DEVELOPED. THE CURRENT PACKAGE HAS THIS
SCENARIO COVERED AND NO UPDATES ARE PLANNED. A QUICK LOOK AT THE
12Z ETA IS STILL INDICATING THAT A WESTERLY PUSH MOVES ACROSS
NORTHERN UTAH SATURDAY MORNING WHICH PRESSES THE THERMAL LOW ACROSS
CENTRAL UTAH. THIS WOULD SHUT OFF THE SOUTH WINDS AuLONG THE WASATCH
FRONT AND COOL THE TEMPS DOWN. WAITING TO SEE IF THE AVN AGREES.
