.DISCUSSION...A cold front stalled near the burn site will lift
back northward today as the flow turns more southwesterly at the
burn site. Winds will still be enhanced, but should be slightly
weaker compared to yesterday. The burn site`s proximity to the
cold front will maintain some broken cloud cover overhead,
especially from mid-morning through the afternoon. A few showers
and an isolated thunderstorm or two may affect the burn site from
late morning through this afternoon. There is a very small chance
of wetting rain, while briefly strong and erratic microburst
winds to around 40 mph will be possible.

Southwest winds are expected to increase a bit more tomorrow as
the next cold front starts to move into Utah. This front has the
potential to make it to the burn site on Monday, turning winds
more northwesterly while bringing a threat of precipitation
Monday through Tuesday. At this time, chance of wetting rain
appears small (10% chance or less). However, given the unsettled
weather pattern, enhanced winds can be expected, with gusts
stronger than 20 mph possible most days for the next week.
Greatest chance of stronger than 25 mph gusts will occur tomorrow
and Monday. Otherwise, expect excellent mixing conditions this
weekend through Tuesday.
