SPOT FORECAST FOR WILDFLOWER
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
1104 PM MDT MON JUL 1 2013

.DISCUSSION...SHORT TERM FORECAST FOR THIS EVENING HAS INCREASED
CLOUD COVER OVER THE SITE FOR THE NEXT 3-5 HOURS...THIS THE ONLY
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS SPOT.

TOMORROW THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MINIMAL CHANGE IS EXPECTED IN THE
LARGE SCALE WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS. ON THE
WILDFLOWER SITE TUESDAY EXPECT VERY SIMILAR CONDITIONS AS
EXPERIENCED TODAY BOTH REGARDING NEAR SURFACE WINDS AND HUMIDITY.
BOTTOM LINE WINDS WILL BE NORMAL TO DIURNAL SLOPE FLOWS WITH SOME
ADDED NORTHERLY ENHANCEMENT IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS DUE TO
EXISTENCE OF A NE-SW ORIENTED GRADIENT. HUMIDITY WILL ONCE AGAIN
FALL BELOW CRITICAL LEVELS DURING EACH AFTERNOON.

ONE THING WE WILL BE WATCHING IS THE POTENTIAL FOR INCREASED
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE AXIS
OF THE HIGH PRESSURE THAT NOW SITS WEST SHIFTS OVERHEAD...THERE
MAY BE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA THAT COULD BRING GUSTY AND
ERRATIC WINDS LATE DAY/EVENING IF IT SHIFTS A BIT FASTER THAN
CURRENT FORECAST. FOR NOW THAT STILL LOOKS TO HOLD OFF UNTIL
THURSDAY.
