SPOT FORECAST FOR CEDAR CITY PILES
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
615 AM MST MON NOV 7 2011

.DISCUSSION....ENOUGH MOISTURE LINGERS IN WAKE OF LAST NIGHTS STORM
TO KEEP A MENTION OF SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AT THE BURN SITE
THROUGH THIS MORNING. THESE WILL BE PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY LIGHT
NORTHERLY FLOW BANKING UP AGAINST CEDAR BREAKS AND SPILLING OVER
THE RIM...NOT LOOKING FOR MUCH MORE THAN A DUSTING TO AN
ADDITIONAL INCH OF SNOW THIS MORNING THOUGH. WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT
TONIGHT WITH DIURNAL DOWNSLOPE/DOWNVALLEY CONDITIONS DEVELOPING
BY 2200. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST TUESDAY
WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE MIXING POTENTIAL WITH CLEARING INDICES
ANTICIPATED TO FALL WELL BELOW 500...AND IT IS EXPECTED THAT CI
VALUES WILL REMAIN SUB 500 THROUGH THURSDAY. A 30 PERCENT CHANCE
EXISTS FOR CLEARING INDICES TO CLIMB SLIGHTLY OVER 500 FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST...AND A NET INCREASING
TREND IS EXPECTED THEREAFTER INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE NEXT
STORM DROPS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST.
