SPOT FORECAST FOR BABOON
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
831 AM MDT SAT JUL 25 2009

.DISCUSSION...A VERY MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL REMAIN OVER THE
REGION THROUGH SUNDAY. WITHIN THIS FLOW THERE ARE EMBEDDED
DISTURBANCES THAT WILL HELP DESTABILIZE THE AIRMASS. ONCE SUCH
DISTURBANCE IS VERY WEAK AND IS MOVING ACROSS SOUTHWEST UTAH THIS
MORNING PRODUCING MAINLY AN EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER WITH A FEW LIGHT
SHOWERS. A STRONGER ONE IS LOCATED OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF
THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER BASIN THAT SHOULD MOVE UP AND AFFECT
SOUTHWEST UTAH LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING WETTING RAINS
SINCE THE AIRMASS IS SO MOIST. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT THE
BRUNT OF THIS SYSTEM WILL BE TO YOUR WEST BUT FEEL THAT YOU WILL
RECEIVE ENOUGH MIDDAY SUNSHINE TO BECOME UNSTABLE FOR STORMS TO
DEVELOP OVER THE PINE VALLEY MOUNTAINS AND DRIFT ACROSS YOUR AREA.
