Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT 406 PM MDT Fri Apr 1 2022 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure will build into the area through Saturday morning. Another series of systems will impact the area Saturday night into early next week. && .SHORT TERM (THROUGH 12Z MONDAY)...A shortwave ridge will continue to build into Utah tonight before shifting east of the area tomorrow. Fairly quiet weather expected tonight other than some high clouds moving across mainly northern Utah and southwest Wyoming. Overnight min temperatures will trend warmer across much of the area. Southwesterly flow tomorrow morning into the early afternoon will lead to warmer daytime temperatures, this ahead of a weak shortwave trough rippling by to the north. This trough will send a dry cold front into northern Utah tomorrow afternoon, so the extent of warming across the north will ultimately depend on the timing of this cold front. Behind the shortwave trough, a more subtle disturbance will cross Nevada and Utah tomorrow night through Sunday. This will reinforce the cold front across central and southern Utah, which is progged to result in some showers along the boundary. While HREF members, NAM, and global deterministic models all indicate the potential for precipitation, especially by Sunday, there remains quite a bit of model spread regarding the location of the boundary and where precipitation will set up. The Hi-res models are trending a bit farther north compared to the global models. .LONG TERM (After 12Z Monday)...A longwave trough is expected to scrape past the northern part of our area Tuesday into Wednesday morning. Our area will not be in a favorable position for jet- induced lift, however a passing vorticity max and sufficient moisture are enough to produce precipitation across northeastern UT and southwest WY, especially across higher terrain. The extent of this precipitation and cold air associated with this passing trough is dependent on how far south this trough actually reaches. Ensemble members are split roughly half and half, with 55% of members favoring a closer hit, leading to more precipitation and cooler temperatures. Ensemble members suggest 0.15-0.25" QPF in northern valleys with this system, ending by 06z Wednesday, but this may change depending on how close the trough moves to our area. As for precipitation type, we can expect primarily snow in the mountains and primarily rain in the northern valleys. However, a changeover to snow in the Cache Valley is possible. Changeover to snow in the Salt Lake Valley Tuesday night seems more unlikely, however not impossible. The deterministic GFS suggests 700-mb temperatures by 18z Tuesday dropping to -13C, however the phase space diagram of clusters does depict this model as anomalously cold. In addition to precipitation, this trough is likely to bring stronger winds. This jet moving in to our north is expected to have wind speeds in excess of 130kts, with high wind speeds also expected in mid and lower levels. Winds at 700-mb may exceed 40-50kts. Therefore, strong westerly winds are likely across southwest Wyoming from Monday evening through roughly midnight Wednesday. After the passage of the trough, models are in good agreement of a strong ridge building in, likely leading to subsidence and warming temperatures. By Saturday, however, there is much more uncertainty in the overall pattern. Across cluster members, 62% of members keep that strong ridge near our area. However, 38% of members suggest the potential for light mountain precipitation. Of this 38%, 27% depict a zonal ridge pattern, while 11% suggest an incoming trough. && .AVIATION...KSLC...High clouds will continue for the rest of the TAF period. Light northwest flow will switch over to southeast flow around 03Z. Prevailing winds will transition to northwest around 17Z. The winds will become stronger as the day progresses leading to some gusts over 20mph. REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...Scattered cloud cover will persist over the next 24 hours for northern Utah and southwest Wyoming. Clear skies will remain over southern Utah throughout the TAF period. Light winds are expected overnight and into tomorrow morning. Stronger winds are expected to arrive in the late morning to early afternoon hours for northern Utah and southwest Wyoming, with gusts up to 30mph for southwest Wyoming. && .SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
