.DISCUSSION...SOUTHWEST FLOW IS DEVELOPING OVER UTAH TODAY.
THESE ENVIRONMENTAL WINDS WILL LIKELY OVERCOME THE LOCAL UPSLOPE
THIS AFTERNOON AND CREATE SWIRLING WINDS IN SOME OF THE CANYONS
AT THE FIRE SITE. THERE WILL BE JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE ACROSS
CENTRAL UTAH TODAY FOR HIGH BASED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED DRY
THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE FIRE SITE. THE SOUTHWEST FLOW STAYS DRY
MONDAY THEN MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY BRINGING A BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
CENTRAL UTAH...ALTHOUGH THESE WILL STILL BE ON THE DRY SIDE. THIS
MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO PERSIST INTO WEDNESDAY AND STORMS SHOULD
BECOME WETTER. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE TOWARDS THE END OF
THE WEEK AND THE AIRMASS WILL DRY OUT AGAIN.
