319 AM MDT TUE AUG 13 2013
...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AGAIN TODAY MAINLY EAST OF I-15...
.BROADCAST DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE TODAY
AS MOISTURE LINGERS ACROSS THE REGION. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
STRENGTHEN ACROSS THE REGION MIDWEEK ALLOWING FOR A DRYING AND
SLIGHT WARMING TREND.
.DISCUSSION...LINGERING MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR ANOTHER ROUND
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PRIMARILY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN
EAST OF I-15 TODAY. MOISTURE HAS DECREASED A BIT FROM
MONDAY...THUS THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS
GREAT. HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN ACROSS THE REGION
WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WILL FURTHER STABILIZE AND DRY
THE AIRMASS ACROSS THE REGION...GREATLY LIMITING ANY POTENTIAL
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A SLIGHT WARMING TREND IS ALSO
EXPECTED AS THIS HIGH STRENGTHENS. MOISTURE LOOKS TO RETURN
NORTHWARD INTO THE REGION LATE FRIDAY THROUGH THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND.
***THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY STRONG GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS***
