SYNOPSIS
Dry and gusty conditions will result in locally critical fire weather conditions, particularly for portions of southern and eastern Utah Wednesday and Thursday. Increased ridging through the Great Basin then results in continued dry conditions and a warming trend from the weekend into next week, with heat potentially rising to hazardous levels.
.SHORT TERM (Through 12Z/6AM Thursday)...Afternoon GOES-W water vapor loop showing dry west to northwesterly flow remaining atop the forecast region as axis of troughing shifts east into the Plains. As a result, cooler H7 temperatures associated with the pattern are helping to keep temperatures this afternoon below seasonal normal for much of the region, with the exception being portions of southern Utah which are running near to a bit above normal. With moisture quite limited (PWATs areawide less than 0.50"), the region remains devoid of precipitation and cloud cover is largely limited to some terrain driven cumulus.
On Wednesday, another weak shortwave impulse will work into and through the area. With moisture still very limited, precipitation is not anticipated. This shortwave will however help keep temperatures near to below normal across northern Utah and southwest Wyoming, and bring about some marginally gusty conditions across portions of the area, most noted in areas favored to downslope in northwesterly flow. That said, this will primarily be impactful in a fire weather sense, as combination of these gusts and low relative humidity values will yield locally critical fire weather conditions, particularly in portions of southern and eastern Utah.
.LONG TERM (After 12Z/6AM Thursday), Issued 342 AM MDT...Another July cool dry frontal passage mid week will leave temperatures split across Utah Thursday. High temperatures are forecast 5 to 10 degrees below seasonal normals for July 4th across northern Utah with very comfortable mid 70 degree temperatures by the late evening hours. But then if we change over to southern and eastern Utah we look at the other side of the boundary where hot and drier conditions persist. Here, we don't see much change in the forecast day to day. Speaking of hot in southern Utah, temperatures will closely be monitored Sunday through Tuesday with a high temperature range between 111 and 115 degrees in St.
George currently being forecast. It is pretty tough to find any chances for precipitation in this longer range forecast in the region. Moisture is looking to skirt around the ridge of high pressure that is expected to set up across our area and instead impact areas to our east.
AVIATION
KSLC...Northwesterly winds will transition to light and southeasterly around 03-04z, becoming light and variable at times overnight. Clear skies and VFR conditions will continue.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
Winds will remain fairly diurnally-driven today and tonight, with a slight preference for westerly winds around 5-15kts this afternoon. Stronger westerly winds will develop Wednesday afternoon, with gusts to 25kts possible. Mostly clear skies and VFR conditions will continue.
FIRE WEATHER
A general west to northwest flow aloft remains atop the area, helping maintain somewhat seasonal temperatures.
Additionally, pattern continues to support dry conditions and somewhat enhanced winds and gusts, the combination of which appear to be sufficient for critical fire weather conditions across portions of southern and eastern Utah Wednesday and Thursday. From the weekend and on into next week, a strengthening ridge of high pressure will yield a warming trend in addition to continued dry conditions.
SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
UT...Red Flag Warning from noon Wednesday to 9 PM MDT Thursday for UTZ489.
Red Flag Warning from noon to 9 PM MDT Wednesday for UTZ498.
WY...None.
