Area Forecast Discussion

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure aloft building into the region from the
west this weekend will maintain dry conditions and generate a
gradual warming trend heading into early next week. 

&&

.DISCUSSION...The upper ridge currently over the western Great
Basin will shift east into Utah this weekend. Warming temperatures
aloft associated with the ridge will bring a nice warming trend 
to the higher elevations. Valley locations will also see an upward
climb in temps, with diurnal temperature swings likely to increase
due to clear skies and the rather dry air mass already in place.

The upper trough advancing on to the west coast late Sunday will
exhibit a substantial split as it crosses the Great Basin Monday.
Weak dynamic support from the splitting trough along with a still
very dry air mass will limit any clouds to the mid/high levels,
with no chance for any precip. Ridging will return Tuesday through
early Wednesday, followed by a transition toward a more active 
pattern by late in the week. 

&&

.AVIATION...Stable high pressure across northern Utah will
maintain VFR conditions under clear skies throughout the current
TAF period. Light southeast winds will develop around 04z, with
these winds turning back to the northwest early Saturday
afternoon. 

&&

.SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
UT...None.
WY...None.
