.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE HAS SHIFTED EAST OF THE AREA
OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS ALLOWING FLOW ALOFT TO BECOME
SOUTHWESTERLY. TWO MAIN POINTS OF FOCUS TODAY...CONTINUED VERY
DRY CONDITIONS WITH RH VALUES LOWERING INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS
AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON...AND A NET INCREASE OF SOUTHERLY ORIENTED
WINDS. THE WEAK DOWNSLOPE FLOW AT THIS HOUR WILL BECOME MORE OF
AN UPVALLEY UPSLOPE OVER THE NEXT 3 TO 4 HOURS...WITH BREEZY
SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON. MAY SEE A FEW CLOUD
BUILDUPS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AFTER NOON...BUT THESE ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO AFFECT LOCAL WEATHER SIGNIFICANTLY.

A COLD FRONT ENTERING NORTHERN UTAH TONIGHT WILL STALL NORTH OF
THE SITE TOMORROW. OUTCOME OF THIS WILL PROMOTE SLIGHTLY ENHANCED
DOWNSLOPE WINDS TONIGHT...AND ANOTHER ROUND OF BREEZY
SOUTHWESTERLIES/LOW RH FOR MONDAY.
