...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM MDT TODAY FOR WIND
AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 492, 493,
495, 496, 497, AND 498...
...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM MDT TODAY FOR
SCATTERED DRY THUNDERSTORMS FOLLOWING AN EXTENDED DRY PERIOD
FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 478 AND 479...
.BROADCAST DISCUSSION...Hot conditions with low relative humidity
paired with strong winds during the day will continue critical
fire weather conditions through the day. High based convection with
frequent lightning and gusty outflow winds will be possible across
the entire area. Moisture increases through the week with diurnal
convection and slightly weaker afternoon winds.
.DISCUSSION...Conditions will remain hot and relatively dry near
the surface for the entire area today along with high based
convection that will pose the threat for gusty outflow winds and
frequent lightning, particularly across northern Utah. A trough
grazing by to our north is bringing enhanced instability and lift
that will make for widespread convection. Given the dry low levels
wind gusts as high as 50-60 mph will be possible with convective
outflow. Non-convective winds will remain in the 20-35 mph range
through the afternoon. Therefore, Red Flag Warning remain in
effect for northern and western Utah.
More diurnal convection is expected tomorrow afternoon, but non-
convective winds will be slightly lower along with slightly
improved RH as the trough brings a slightly cooler airmass into
the area for tomorrow. Moisture increases through the week as a
more monsoonal pattern takes shape with the introduction of a Four
Corners high pressure. This will lead to diurnal convection
through Saturday.
***Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds***
***All winds are 20 foot, 10-minute averages***
