Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 1:51 PM MST, 2 hours 14 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT 251 PM MDT MON JUN 8 2009 .SYNOPSIS...COOL AND UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK AS A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES MOVE EAST FROM THE CALIFORNIA COAST INTO THE GREAT BASIN. && .DISCUSSION...WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN PLACE...SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED OVER NORTHERN UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING THIS AFTERNOON. SOME GUSTY WINDS AND BRIEF HEAVY RAIN HAVE BEEN OBSERVED WITH THESE STORMS...BUT THE STORMS ARE MOVING TOO FAST TO POSE A SIGNIFICANT FLOODING THREAT. OVER SOUTHERN UTAH...HIGH CLOUDS ARE INCREASING AS THE TROUGH OFF THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST MOVES CLOSER TO THE SHORE...BUT THE AIRMASS IS STILL TOO DRY FOR CONVECTION TO DEVELOP THERE. WITH FEWER CLOUDS...TEMPERATURES OVER THE AREA ARE A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN YESTERDAY BUT ARE RUNNING 5-7F BELOW CLIMO. CLOUDS AND MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS THE CALIFORNIA TROUGH MOVES ONSHORE TOMORROW. MODELS NOW ALL AGREE THAT THE CENTER OF THIS SYSTEM WILL REMAIN OVER NORTHERN AZ/SOUTHERN UTAH...BUT IT SHOULD BRING A GOOD AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY TO THE AREA. HAVE RAISED POPS TO LIKELY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT KEPT MOST OF THE REST OF THE AREA IN THE SCATTERED RANGE. ALSO INCREASED POPS FOR WEDNESDAY...AND THINK THIS MIGHT BE A BETTER DAY FOR AT LEAST SOME LOCATIONS AS THE TROUGH WILL PASS CLOSER ON THIS DAY. LITTLE CHANGE IN THE AIRMASS TEMPERATURE IS EXPECTED DUE TO THE PASSAGE OF THIS SYSTEM...BUT CLOUDS WILL MAKE MAXES ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY A BIT COOLER THAN TODAY...WHILE MINS SHOULD BE A BIT WARMER. MODELS INDICATE NO END IN SIGHT FOR THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE PATTERN...AT LEAST THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. EC/GFS BRINING ANOTHER CALIFORNIA TROUGH THROUGH MOSTLY NORTHERN UTAH ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THOUGH THE EC IS A BIT FASTER WITH IT. 12Z ECMWF BRINGS ANOTHER TROUGH THROUGH FOR THE WEEKEND...BUT THIS SYSTEM HANGS BACK IN THE GFS SOLUTION. EITHER WAY...ENOUGH MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO REMAIN TO SUPPORT ABOVE CLIMO POPS THROUGH DAY 7. THE MODELS INDICATE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AIRMASS TO CHANGE LITTLE THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK BEFORE A SLIGHT WARMING TREND FOR THE WEEKEND. && .AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE EVENING AT THE SLC TERMINAL. SOUTHEAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE EVENING...BUT THERE IS A 40 PERCENT CHANCE OF A SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST BETWEEN 22Z AND ABOUT 02Z. OUTFLOW FROM NEARBY THUNDERSTORMS MAY ALSO RESULT IN ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS AT THE TERMINAL BETWEEN NOW AND 03Z. THERE IS A 20 PERCENT CHANCE THAT A THUNDERSTORM WILL DIRECTLY IMPACT THE TERMINAL DURING THAT PERIOD. && .SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... UT...NONE.
