766 FNUS75 KSLC 262103 FWSSLC Spot Forecast for Little Twist...Richfield Interagency Fire Center National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT 303 PM MDT Wed Jun 26 2024 Forecast is based on forecast start time of 1800 MDT on June 26. If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service. .DISCUSSION...Little Twist will reside along the periphery of a moist sub-tropical airmass to the east, and much drier air impinging from the west on Thursday. Still anticipating enough moisture to linger for early initiation of buildups by late in the morning, with focused window of shower/storm potential lasting through mid afternoon. Gusty erratic winds/lightning the primary threats with any storm crossing the site during that time. Otherwise, RH trends are expected to begin creeping down during the day, but modestly gusty west-southwest winds will remain the norm with the most consistent gusts focused during the peak heating hours in the afternoon. Much drier conditions will move in from the west for Friday. Look for a noted drop in RH trends Friday with strong solar under clear skies. Wind trends looking to drop slightly as well, though p.m. gusts into the mid to upper teens from the southwest are expected to become more frequent than not during the peak heating hours. .THURSDAY...
