DEVELOP THIS MORNING, WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES DROPPING OFF AFTER
18Z. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING
PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY

A FEW ISOLATED MOUNTAIN SHOWERS DEVELOPING DURING THE AFTERNOON.
STILL, WITH ANY REMAINING PRECIPITATION, BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR VIS
ARE POSSIBLE WITHIN ANY HEAVIER SHOWERS. GUSTY SOUTHERLY TO
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL PERSIST, SIMILAR TO THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS,
WITH THE HIGHEST GUSTS OF 30-40KTS EXPECTED ACROSS WESTERN VALLEYS.
