If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service. .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. .TODAY...
