SPOT FORECAST FOR WEST SCOFIELD
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
410 PM MDT TUE JUN 16 2009

.DISCUSSION...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF CALIFORNIA COAST IS SENDING
MORE MOIST AIR UP THROUGH THE STATE. THIS MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE NORTHWARD THROUGH TOMORROW. THIS AFTERNOONS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD TAPER OFF AS THE SUN SETS. HOWEVER...MORE
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TOMORROW AFTERNOON. TOMORROWS CONVECTION WILL
LIKELY BE MORE INTENSE AND WIDESPREAD AS A WEATHER DISTURBANCE
PASSES THROUGH THE STATE. WEST SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL DOMINATE...BUT
WINDS IN THE VICINITY OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE GUSTY AND ERRATIC.

AS FAR AS A TWO DAY PERIOD WITH CLEAR SKIES AND WARMER
TEMPERATURES...THE BEST BET LOOKS TO BE EARLY NEXT WEEK. WE WILL SEE
A BRIEF BREAK FROM THE ACTION ON FRIDAY WHEN A WEAK RIDGE BUILDS
INTO THE AREA. HOWEVER...CLEARING INDICES WILL PLUMMET ON FRIDAY AS
THE RIDGE DRAMATICALLY DECREASES TRANSPORT WINDS. ISOLATED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN ON THURSDAY
AS THE MOISTURE CURRENTLY IN PLACE MOVES OUT OF THE AREA...AND MORE
MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA SATURDAY.
