.DISCUSSION...
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP ANOTHER
ROUND OF AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA...MAINLY ISOLATED
NEAR THE FIRE SITE. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS
AS DRIER AIR WILL BE WORKING INTO NORTHERN UTAH. RIDGETOP WINDS
LOOK TO BE NORTHWEST BY EARLY AFTERNOON WITH WINDS TURNING DOWN
SLOPE BY SUNSET. DRIER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE IN OVERNIGHT
WHICH WILL LEAD TO MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND SLIGHTLY STRONGER
INVERSIONS. THIS MAY DEVELOP A MORE NOTICEABLE THERMAL BELT
OVERNIGHT. WARMER AND MAINLY SUNNY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ON
FRIDAY WITH GENERAL WINDS REMAINING OUT OF THE NORTH TO NORTHWEST.
