.DISCUSSION...
WEAK COLD FRONT HAS PASSED THROUGH THE AREA WITH MANY OBSERVATION
SITES AROUND THE FIRE SHOWING LIGHT NORTHWEST WINDS. THE FIRE SITE
SHOULD SEE THESE WINDS THROUGH THE NIGHT...THROUGH TERRAIN INFLUENCES
MAY OVER-RULE THE NORTHWEST DIRECTION. UPPER LOW WILL BE MOVING INTO
AND ACROSS CENTRAL UTAH TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...KEEPING THE THREAT OF
SHOWERS AND MAINLY ISOLATED STORMS IN THE PICTURE. THE BEST CHANCE
FOR WETTING RAINS LOOK TO BE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS THE UPPER LOW
MOVES JUST SOUTH OF THE UINTA BASIN. GUSTY WINDS NEAR SHOWERS AND
PASSING THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE A THREAT IN THE AFTERNOON. WITH
CLOUDY CONDITIONS AND PRECIPITATION...TEMPERATURES LOOKS TO DROP
BY AROUND 7 DEGREES ON TUESDAY.
