DISCUSSION
DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUE TODAY, WITH HIGHS SLIGHTLY
ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS. GUSTY WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
WEATHER SYSTEM. INCREASING MID-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH-BASED CONVECTION THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING, WITH A 30% CHANCE TO IMPACT THE BURN SITE. GIVEN DRY
CONDITIONS AT THE SURFACE, THESE SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE
LITTLE IN THE WAY OF PRECIPITATION, WITH THE MAIN IMPACT BEING
GUSTY AND ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS TO 50 MPH THROUGH THE EVENING. AN
UNSEASONABLY COLD WEATHER SYSTEM DIGS INTO UTAH ON SUNDAY, WITH
AN ASSOCIATED STRONG COLD FRONT SWEEPING THROUGH THE STATE THROUGH
EARLY MONDAY MORNING. THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE THIS FRONT WILL
BRING STRONG WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS THROUGH THE DAY, PEAKING LATE
SUNDAY. WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE, THOUGH LIMITED MOISTURE OVER SOUTHERN UTAH LIMITS THE
POTENTIAL FOR WETTING RAINS AT THE BURN SITE.
