213 FNUS75 KSLC 201553 FWSSLC Spot Forecast for EZ PILE BURN...USFS National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT 953 AM MDT Fri Sep 20 2024 Forecast is based on ignition time of 0925 MDT on September 20. If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service. .DISCUSSION...Southwesterly to westerly winds expected through the day, increasing to around 7-15 mph with gusts to around 20 mph during the afternoon hours. A very brief isolated shower can`t be ruled out during the afternoon (10% chance or less), but wetting rain from such a shower is unlikely. Any activity that does develop will diminish late evening, with winds gradually lightening up some and shifting more north to northeast through the night. For Saturday, a system passing nearby will bring more moisture and energy into the area, resulting in development of scattered convection during the afternoon hours. Winds will trend more northerly, but will become gusty and erratic as a result of any outflow winds from nearby showers and thunderstorms. For both Friday and Saturday, mixing heights and transport winds are expected to be sufficient for excellent afternoon clearing index values. .REST OF TODAY...
