NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
140 AM MDT SUN AUG 8 2010

.DISCUSSION...DRY AIR WILL REMAIN ACROSS NORTHWEST UTAH AGAIN
TODAY. THE SOUTH WINDS WILL ALSO CONTINUE BUT SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT
ENOUGH TO KEEP THE AREA BELOW CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
ENOUGH RESIDUAL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN FOR AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM
OR TWO...BUT THE CHANCE OF HITTING THE BURN AREA IS LOW. IF A
THUNDERSTORMS DOES DEVELOP NEAR THE FIRE SITE...THE MOST LIKELY
PROBLEM COULD ARISE FROM GUSTY ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS. DRY AIR
WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD ACROSS UTAH FOR THE EARLY TO MIDDLE
PORTION OF THE WEEK.
