.DISCUSSION...High pressure will maintain very warm temperatures
over the burn site today, with a slight cooling trend for
tomorrow. Low humidities can be expected today as northern Utah
continues to trend drier. Some midlevel moisture will spread into
the area late tonight into tomorrow, which should yield little
more than a few high-based showers and perhaps a nearby
thunderstorm tomorrow. Gusty and erratic microburst winds will be
the main threat from these showers, as the chance of wetting rain
remains low. Generally quiet weather is expected for the weekend,
then winds look to increase early next week, strongest likely on
Monday, ahead of a potentially strong but dry cold front which
will bring much cooler temperatures to the area.
