NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
1106 AM MDT WED JUL 1 2009

.DISCUSSION...RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND
A TROUGH OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A
SOUTHWEST TO SOUTH FLOW OVER UTAH THROUGH THE NEXT 2 TO 3 DAYS.
THIS SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE IN MOISTURE DURING THIS PERIOD.
TODAY THE LOWER LEVELS BELOW 15000 FT MSL ARE STILL RATHER DRY
GIVING AN INVERTED-V TYPE SOUNDING WHICH MEANS THAT GUSTY ERRATIC
WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT FROM ANY BUILD UPS OR THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE AREA. CURRENTLY A CELL IS DEVELOPING NEAR PAROWAN AND
MOVING NORTHEAST. THE THREAT OF STORMS WILL BE THE GREATEST
TOWARDS YOUR NORTHWEST TODAY BUT THEY SHOULD MOVE TOWARD THE
NORTHEAST WITH MAINLY OUTFLOWS BEING YOUR GREATEST CONCERN. THE
MOISTURE DEEPENS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY FOR A GREATER CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS DIRECTLY AFFECTING YOUR BURN.
