.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL STRENGTHEN ACROSS UTAH THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. CLEARING INDICES WILL LIKELY SEE A SUBSTANTIAL
DECREASE THURSDAY/FRIDAY DUE TO DECREASED TRANSPORT WINDS AND THE
STABLE AIR MASS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE. TEMPERATURES
WILL CLIMB A FEW DEGREES IN RESPONSE TO THE WARMER TEMPERATURES
ALOFT. HUMIDITIES VALUES WILL ALSO TREND DOWNWARD WITH FAIR TO
POOR RH RECOVERIES EXPECTED. PREVAILING WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE
TERRAIN-DRIVEN THROUGH FRIDAY. THE HIGH WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN
COLORADO/EASTERN UTAH THIS WEEKEND. THIS EASTWARD SHIFT OF THE HIGH
WILL BRING MODESTLY STRONGER SOUTHERLY TRANSPORT WINDS TO THE AREA...
ALONG WITH AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
