SPOT FORECAST FOR BOX CREEK RX
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
601 AM MDT FRI MAY 18 2012

.DISCUSSION...PACIFIC TROUGH JUST NOW ENTERING WESTERN UTAH WITH
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT DRAPED ON A LINE FROM DELTA TO PRICE.
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN GUSTY AND LIKELY INCREASE
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS BEFORE THE FRONT ARRIVES. AT THIS TIME IT
LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT WILL CROSS THE BOX CREEK BURN AREA BETWEEN
1000 AND 1100 SWITCHING WINDS TO A GUSTY NORTHWEST FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. THE AREA WILL REMAIN CLEAR AND
DRY FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...BUT PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL WILL
INCREASE RAPIDLY WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR A ROGUE THUNDERSTORM ARE EXPECTED FOR THE AFTERNOON
HOURS WITH WETTING RAIN POTENTIAL LOOKING LIKELY DURING THAT
TIME. TEMPS TO COOL AND RH TO CLIMB TODAY.

DRY CONDITIONS WILL RETURN TO THE BURN SITE TONIGHT...WITH TEMPS
REBOUNDING FOR SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE LOCAL
WEATHER THEREAFTER THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A WARMING/DRYING
TREND.
