Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Salt Lake City Utah 
853 PM MDT Thursday Jul 3 2008 


Synopsis...strong upper ridge over the area will shift slightly 
to the east on Independence day as a weak cold front approaches. 
This front will move across northern Utah Friday night and 
Saturday. Another weak disturbance will affect northern Utah on 
Sunday. A hot upper ridge will build back over the western Great 
Basin next week. 


&& 


Discussion...high based convection today resulted in local strong 
microburst winds. Isolated microbursts will continue through the 
night for the western desert areas. Models suggest slightly higher 
moisture values being drawn north and over Utah by midday Friday. 
That will bring some cloud cover and a continued risk of microburst 
winds from showers and dry thunderstorms that develop. The ridge will 
weaken over the weekend with a cool front moving into northern Utah 
Friday night...settling east to west from Dugway to the Uinta Mountains 
Saturday afternoon. Another shortwave weakening the ridge will bring 
lift and increasing thunderstorms for Sunday...mainly north of the 
frontal boundary. 


&& 


Aviation...southeast winds will continue through the night and 
increase Friday morning. Airport weather warning criteria may be 
met after about 15z Friday for gradient south winds. There will be 
a risk of stronger microburst winds mainly from the south Friday 
afternoon and evening. Ceilings remaining 6000 feet or higher. 


&& 


Fire weather...red flag warning in place much of the district for 
Friday. Hot and windy weather will affect many areas along with 
lightning and microburst winds. Saturday will bring less lightning 
and more stable conditions to the north while the south will remain 
hot and breezy through Saturday.
