DISCUSSION
MONSOON MOISTURE CURRENTLY OVER THE SOUTHERN TWO
THIRDS OF UTAH WILL SPREAD NORTHWARD TODAY. THIS WILL BRING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE VICINITY
OF THE FIRE DURING THE AFTERNOON, WITH SOME STORMS LINGERING INTO
THE EARLY EVENING. AT THE FIRE, THE MOISTURE COMING IN WILL BE
PRIMARILY MID AND HIGH BASED, SO THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE OF WETTING
RAIN WITH ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP. HOWEVER, ANY STORMS THAT
DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE GUSTY AND ERRATIC
MICROBURST WINDS. DRIER AIR STARTS TO MOVE BACK INTO THE AREA
BEGINNING SATURDAY, LIMITING THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THEREAFTER. THE DRYING TREND WILL CONTINUE INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR WITH WINDS GENERALLY LIGHT AWAY FROM THUNDERSTORMS.
