SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM WILL BE THE MAIN FOCUS OF
TODAYS WEATHER. A COLD FRONT IS SITTING POISED TO MOVE INTO UTAH
BUT WILL REMAIN VIRTUALLY STATIONARY THROUGH THE DAY. THIS IS IN

SOUTHWEST. ALTHOUGH THE WIND ADVISORY DOES NOT COVER THE BURN

BLOW TODAY. TROPICAL MOISTURE IS BEING DRAWN ACROSS THE STATE

THROUGH THE DAY AND POSSIBLY AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM THIS

UTAH UNTIL LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY WEDNESDAY WHEN MORE WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION AND COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE RESULT.
