If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service. .DISCUSSION...High pressure has weakened over Utah this morning, and this is allowing moisture to return to the area. A shortwave will cross northern and central Utah today, increasing instability and allowing scattered showers and thunderstorms that develop. Given the very dry lower levels, storms that develop will produce little rain but are likely to produce dry lightning and periods of gusty and erratic winds during the afternoon and early evening. The moisture will remain in place tomorrow, but without an associated shortwave overall coverage will be less than yesterday, so the threat of gusty winds will be lower. .REST OF TODAY...
