.DISCUSSION...
VERY DRY AIR WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER FAR NORTHEAST UTAH TODAY
LEAVING HUMIDITY LEVELS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS THIS AFTERNOON AS
HIGHS PUSH PAST THE 85 DEGREE MARK. EXPECT THE HIGH CLOUDINESS THIS
MORNING TO THIN OUT THEN CONVECTIVE CLOUDS REFORM BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. MOISTURE WILL BE INCREASING OVERNIGHT AS THE NEXT SYSTEM
PUSHES FARTHER INTO THE GREAT BASIN. UNFORTUNATELY THE BULK OF THIS
MOISTURE WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF THE FIRE AREA GOING INTO WEDNESDAY WITH
ONLY ISOLATED CHANCES OF STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. PROFILES SHOW THESE
STORMS WILL MOST LIKELY CARRY GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS MORE THAN WETTING
RAINS NORTH OF THE UINTAS...SO STORMS SHOULD BE WATCHED CLOSELY.
TEMPERATURES WILL COOL SLIGHTLY HOWEVER WITH THE ADDED CLOUD COVER
WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR A SMALL INCREASE IN AFTERNOON HUMIDITY.
