...INCREASING MOISTURE THURSDAY THRU SATURDAY, DECREASING THEREAFTER...
.BROADCAST DISCUSSION...Moisture will increase significantly from
south to north from now through Friday, bringing increased chances
for wetting rains and increased humidity. Moisture will linger over
the area through at least Saturday, decreasing once again as we
head into the late weekend/ early next week.
.DISCUSSION...An impulse of monsoonal moisture will begin pushing into Utah
overnight tonight, spreading over central Utah through tomorrow
afternoon, then throughout the remainder of Utah through Friday.
As such, will see increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms
with higher potential to produce wetting rains as the lower level
moisture increases. By Thursday afternoon, chances for wetting
rain will increase to around 25-35 percent across a majority of
the high terrain east of I-15 while areas to the west will
struggle to achieve heavier precipitation. CWR will decrease
significantly (to less than 15%) north of the I-70 corridor and
east of Boulder Mountain/ Capitol Reef. As lower level moisture
spreads farther north on Friday, we`ll begin to see higher CWR
values expanding north of the I-70 corridor into the northern
Fishlake NF, Manti-La Sal NF, and the eastern portion of the
Uinta-Wasatch-Cahce NF. Similar to the Dixie NF and southern
Fishlake NF on Thursday, CWR values will be roughly between 25-35%
at most. Moisture will begin to gradually decrease by Saturday,
waning more significantly by Sunday forward. Should see CWR
decreasing Saturday forward across the entirety of Utah.
Aside from the precipitation potential, the increase in moisture
will help to bring increases in afternoon humidity as well as
overnight humidity recoveries... especially across southern Utah
on Thursday, then into central and northern Utah Friday and
Saturday. While moisture trends begin increasing across
central and northern Utah on Friday and Saturday, we should
see an opposite trend (drying) in southern Utah these days.
