Fxus65 kslc 172252 afdslc area forecast discussion national weather service salt lake city ut 352 pm mst Sun feb 17 2019 Synopsis Cool temperatures and occasional snow showers will linger through the weekend and into early next week as broad troughing continues across the west. A stronger storm system may impact the state late next week. Short term (through 00z Thursday) Interior west trough will reload tonight as the next system of note drops into the desert southwest. Height falls will remain mainly south of utah, where most of the synoptic precipitation is expected. A second area of focus in the near term is associate with a mid- level circulation center not far from wendover. The areal extent and potential to impact travel on i-80 and near dugway led us to issue a winter weather advisory for that area tonight into tomorrow morning. Accumulating snow may expand east to near tooele which will have to be watched closely by the next shift. Road impacts would likely start at sunset due to the warm roadways this afternoon. Could see some enhanced easterly canyon winds along the wasatch late tonight into tomorrow morning due to a strong pressure gradient from wyoming, and weak easterly 700mb cold advection. The gradient becomes northerly Monday and will support gusty north winds across much of western utah into Tuesday. Surface low near the grand canyon at sunrise looks to make its way toward the four corners by sunset tomorrow. This will make it a close call as far as expansion of snow north into utah from kanab east-northeast across the glen canyon recreation area. It will remain cold enough that if a shower passes over dixie that it will likely be snow. Due to warm roads and soils, it would have to be heavy for even brief transportation impacts to develop. A better chance of impacts at a higher elevation such as zion national park. For other portions of utah, given steep deep layer lapse rates of near 8c km and the development of minimal CAPE with afternoon destabilization, snow showers will become more widespread after noon tomorrow, especially south of i-80. Another period of destabilization Tuesday as the coldest air aloft coincident with the passage of the trough axis. Expect snow to become largely confined to NW slopes. Colder Tuesday. A brief break most of Tuesday night before the height falls and warm advection ahead of the next storm dropping down the pacific northwest coast invades Wednesday. Long term (after 00z Thursday)

Continue to have high confidence that a cold pacific trough will bring significant impact to southern utah late Wednesday night through Thursday night, with accumulating snow likely within utah's dixie and the powell region at times during the event. Suite of deterministic ensemble guidance continues paint a similar picture regarding track and evolution of this next trough, with the cold core and attendant mid level circulation spinning up upstream over nevada Wed night prior to becoming more vertically stacked over southern nevada Thursday. Solid agreement exists down to the surface, with a deepening surface low progged just south of dixie Thursday. Originally arctic influenced, cold and with suitable deep layer moisture... The low will provide ample forcing for widespread precip (snow) across primarily southern utah (largely south of i-70. Have continued to raise pops for those areas this package. During the same time period further north, anticipating little if any precip outside of spotty instability snow showers largely over the terrain. Lack of synoptic lift within a shearing environment will detract from much more than that. Thereafter the trough will continue to amplify stretch whilst slowly churning east across the desert southwest Friday. Suspect the greatest uncertainty in guidance will continue to be just how much and how fast it begins to transition out of the area during the day. This said, do expect forcing to be relegated primarily within a shear axis extending from SW wyoming to dixie, and points east with translation. Looks dry with below average temps to start off next weekend, with the pattern potentially becoming a bit more tranquil, but spread in outcomes within globals does increase significantly. Aviation Cigs at the slc terminal will continue to lower through the evening and overnight hours with snow developing just after 00z and dissipating by 06z. Intermittent ifr snow is likely before winds shift to the south. Accumulations of up to 1 inch on untreated surfaces are possible. Another round of low MVFR high ifr snow is likely to develop just before 12z Monday for a few hours near daybreak. Slc watches warnings advisories Ut...

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
