.SYNOPSIS...A weak weather disturbance lifting north through
central Utah will generate scattered showers along with a few
thunderstorms this evening. High pressure aloft expanding west 
into the Great Basin will bring hot temperatures through the 
upcoming weekend.

.DISCUSSION...An area of showers and isolated thunderstorms
has maintained its integrity across eastern Kane and Garfield 
counties this evening so have updated forecast to add some weather
there through midnight. Lightning and gusty winds have been then
main impact of these storms. 

The other area of high-base showers and thunderstorms that were 
persisting into this evening has been from Millard county 
northeast into Utah county. These storms have had a drier low
level boundary so rain is mostly evaporating, which means gusty
winds are the main threat as these storms go to rest this evening.
Gusts to 25-30 mph are possible through 11pm.

No other updates for this evening.

.AVIATION...The SLC terminal will have elevated southerly winds

after midnight. Winds are expected to resume a northerly flow by
