NWS Forecaster Discussion




Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Salt Lake City Utah 
912 am MDT Sat may 18 2013 


Synopsis...a cool moist upper trough centered over northern Utah 
this morning will move east of the area this afternoon. A colder 
system will cross the region tonight through Monday morning. High 
pressure will briefly return on Tuesday then shift east Wednesday. 


&& 


Discussion...upper trough continues to cross the Great Basin this 
morning. A pretty impressive band of heavy rain showers has been 
moving slowly across northern Utah all morning. This band extends 
from northern Utah County north to the Idaho border. The heaviest 
showers are located from Ogden to 25 miles northwest of Brigham 
City. This feature has a relatively well defined back edge and 
should move east of the Wasatch front in the next hour or two. 
Isolated showers will then become the norm. Southwest portion of 
the state has lost cloud cover although some showers still falling 
over the southern mountains. Isolated to scattered showers can 
still be expected to the south through the day. 


Airmass remains somewhat moist and moderately unstable through the 
evening and expect widely scattered showers through the evening 
hours. A colder secondary short wave drops into the northern Great 
Basin after midnight. Newer model hints that best threat for 
precipitation with this feature will be central Utah. Previous 
model suggested northern Utah. Will have to wait for the 12z model 
run to decide whether to shift focus in pop grids or leave them 
as is. In either case...showers will develop across much of the 
area Sunday afternoon. Snow levels will be a little lower with 
this next round of precipitation but still do not expect any 
impacts over any of the major passes. A threat of precipitation 
will linger over the northern County Warning Area into Monday under wrap around 
moisture. 


&& 


Aviation...VFR conditions are expected to prevail at the slc 
terminal through the day. Ceilings expected to remain at or above 
5000 feet above ground level through 17z. There is a 30 percent chance that 
heavier showers could cause brief periods of MVFR ceilings and 
visibilities through 17z. Light northwest winds are expected to 
continue...but showers could cause periods of erratic wind 
directions this morning. 


&& 


Fire weather...a series of storm systems will keep a cool and wet 
pattern in place into Monday. The first storm system affecting the 
region mainly this morning will bring the best chance of a wetting 
rain (snow above 8kft) to northern and portions of central Utah. 


Showers diminish in coverage this afternoon through tonight. Then 
the next system will bring another round of wetting rain (snow above 
7.5kft) to northern and central Utah Sunday. A third system will 
mainly affect eastern Utah Monday. 


The pattern shifts as a ridge builds in Tuesday and Wednesday. A 
warming and drying trend will take place with moisture recoveries at 
night beginning to lag. 


Southwest winds begin to develop Tuesday night as a large storm 
system develops over the Pacific northwest. These winds increase and 
become strong and gusty Wednesday through Saturday. At the same
