SPOT FORECAST FOR SOUTH FORK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
744 AM MST TUE NOV 17 2009

.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION TODAY WILL LEAD
TO CLEAR SKIES...LIGHT WINDS...AND POOR MIXING. SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW ALOFT WILL INCREASE TOMORROW AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD
FRONT...THOUGH MIXING WILL STILL BE MARGINAL AT BEST. THESE
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS COULD OCCASIONALLY MIX DOWN TO THE BURN SITE
ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT FOR THE MOST PART THE
UPSLOPE/UPVALLEY COMPONENT IS EXPECTED TO DOMINATE NEAR THE
SURFACE. THE COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY
EVENING...BUT THERE IS ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION...AND MOSTLY THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE A
WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD AGAIN FOR THURSDAY...WITH ANOTHER STRONGER
SYSTEM LIKELY ENTERING THE STATE ON SATURDAY.
