.DISCUSSION...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE IS IN PLACE OVER UTAH THIS
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE ON SATURDAY AHEAD OF A
LARGE APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM...WITH THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD
FRONT ENTERING FAR NORTHERN UTAH ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON. IT IS
EXPECTED THAT THE FRONT WILL STAY NORTH OF THE BURN SITE UNTIL AT
LEAST SATURDAY EVENING...WHICH WOULD RESULT IN ANOTHER WARM DAY
WITH GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS. HOWEVER...THERE IS A 20 PERCENT CHANCE
THAT THE FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE SITE LATE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...WHICH WOULD RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN RELATIVE
HUMIDITY AND CLOUD COVER...A DECREASE IN TEMPERATURES...AND A
TURNING OF WINDS TO A MORE NORTHWESTERLY DIRECTION.

EITHER WAY...THE IMPACTS OF THIS FRONT SHOULD BE FELT BY SATURDAY
NIGHT. WITH THE MAIN PART OF THE STORM REMAINING NORTHWEST OF
UTAH FOR A COUPLE DAYS...SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL LIKELY BE
CHARACTERIZED BY A MOISTER AIRMASS WITH CONTINUING GUSTY WEST-
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS.
