THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF
UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST UTAH EARLY THIS
MORNING WILL INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE ACROSS CENTRAL AND
EASTERN UTAH DURING THE AFTERNOON. BRIEF HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS
WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THUNDERSTORMS. DRIER AIR ACROSS THE WESTERN
HALF OF UTAH WILL MINIMIZE THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS AND MAINTAIN
WARM TEMPERATURES ACROSS THAT PORTION OF THE STATE.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY
DRIER AIR WILL BEGIN TO WORK EAST ACROSS THE WESTERN TWO-THIRDS OF
UTAH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. ENOUGH RESIDUAL MOISTURE WILL EXIST TO
GENERATE ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN
OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS BOTH
DAYS. THE DRIER AIR WILL ALSO BRING VERY WARM TEMPERATURES TO THE
ENTIRE REGION. ALL AREAS OF THE STATE ARE EXPECTED TO SEE READINGS
ABOVE NORMAL FOR MID-AUGUST.
MOISTURE GATHERING ACROSS NORTHWEST MEXICO WILL SURGE NORTH INTO THE
GREAT BASIN BY THE WEEKEND. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHWEST UTAH LATE FRIDAY...THEN SPREAD ACROSS MUCH
OF WESTERN AND NORTHERN UTAH SATURDAY. THE BEST CHANCE FOR
SIGNIFICANT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL ARRIVE SUNDAY...WITH MOST OF
THESE STORMS CONFINED TO THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PORTION OF THE
STATE. THE THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DECREASE EARLY NEXT WEEK AHEAD OF STRONG HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT SETTLING
INTO THE REGION.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
WEATHER SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT SIGNIFICANT WEATHER
CONDITIONS ACCORDING TO STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.
