SPOT FORECAST FOR BABOON
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
344 PM MDT FRI JUL 20 2012

.DISCUSSION...SOUTHWEST UTAH WILL BE UNDER THE BATTLE GROUND OF
DRY AIR OVER NEVADA AND MOIST AIR OVER UTAH. SO FAR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAVE FORMED HAVE BEEN TIED TO THE HIGHER
TERRAIN TO YOUR EAST AND ARE MOVING NORTH. ANY WEAK DISTURBANCE IN
THIS OVERALL SOUTHERLY FLOW COULD HELP DESTABILIZE THE AIR MASS
JUST ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SOME SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE FIRE
BUT AT THIS TIME THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKELY UNTIL PERHAPS SUNDAY
AND BY THEN THINGS WILL LIKELY HAVE CHANGED.

WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND MAINLY TERRAIN DRIVEN THROUGH SATURDAY
NIGHT AND THEN PICK UP A LITTLE FROM THE SOUTH ON SUNDAY. OUT
FLOWS FROM SHOWERS OR NEARBY THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE WIND
GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH.
