AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
957 PM MST THU NOV 26 2009
.SYNOPSIS...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION WILL CONTINUE
TO SHIFT EAST OUT OF THE AREA TONIGHT. A SPLITTING PACIFIC STORM
SYSTEM WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE REGION LATE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.DISCUSSION...THE AXIS OF THE UPPER RIDGE HAS SHIFTED INTO COLORADO
THIS EVENING...ALLOWING FOR SOUTHWEST FLOW TO DEVELOP OVER THE AREA.
THE FLOW WILL INCREASE TOMORROW AS THE STORM SYSTEM CURRENTLY OVER
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST DIVES INTO CALIFORNIA. IN THE
MEANTIME...EXPECT HAZY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE IN SOME VALLEY AREAS
OVERNIGHT.
MIXING WILL BE A BIT BETTER TOMORROW...BUT THE WINDS WILL LIKELY NOT
BE STRONG ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY MIX OUT SOME OF THE VALLEY AREAS.
STILL...EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER TOMORROW. THE
STORM SYSTEM WILL CLOSE OFF AND CONTINUE TO DIVE SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA TOMORROW NIGHT...THEN INTO WESTERN ARIZONA SATURDAY. THIS
STORM WILL PUSH A WEAK BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA LATE TOMORROW NIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY. HOWEVER...BECAUSE THE STORM WILL BE SO STRONGLY
SPLIT...MOST OF THE DYNAMICS WILL REMAIN TOO FAR NORTH OR SOUTH TO
PRODUCE MUCH IN THE WAY OF PRECIPITATION FOR OUR CWA. THE MOST
LIKELY AREA TO SEE PRECIPITATION WOULD BE FAR SOUTHERN UTAH ON
SATURDAY NEAR THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE LOW...AND EVEN THIS MAY
BE A STRETCH. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS APPROACHING SYSTEM...BUT
IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SOMETHING TO GET TOO EXCITED ABOUT.
NO UPDATES THIS EVENING.
&&
.AVIATION...LIGHT SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT THE KSLC TERMINAL
THROUGH THE NIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED UNDER CLEAR SKIES.
HOWEVER...THERE IS A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF MVFR VISIBILITY
RESTRICTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH HAZE OR FOG THROUGH 1500 UTC.
&&
.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...NONE.
WY...NONE.
