SPOT FORECAST FOR CLIFFS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
137 PM MDT SAT AUG 1 2009

.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES ACROSS UTAH TODAY WITH
JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE VICINITY OF THE FIRE. IT IS LIKELY THESE WILL REMAIN OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN TO THE EAST AND WEST AND NOT MOVE OVER THE FIRE
SITE. HOWEVER...GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS FROM THESE COULD IMPACT THE
FIRE SITE. A DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW SPREADS INTO SOUTHERN UTAH ON
SUNDAY LOWERING THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AND BRINGING
INCREASING AFTERNOON SOUTHWEST WINDS. MOISTURE AND THE CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS INCREASES MONDAY ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST UTAH AND
CONTINUES INTO WEDNESDAY. WINDY AND DRIER CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST
FOR LATER NEXT WEEK.
