NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SALT LAKE CITY UT
350 PM MDT SUN SEP 7 2008
.DISCUSSION...WEAK TROUGH DEVELOPING OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST WILL
GRADUALLY MOVE INLAND BY MONDAY. THIS SYSTEM HAS ALREADY TURNED THE
WINDS SOUTHWESTERLY ALOFT AND TAPPED A LITTLE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE
CREATING THE CUMULUS CLOUDS OVER THE MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON. THIS
SOMEWHAT MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH WEDNESDAY
AND POSSIBLY INTO THURSDAY BRINGING AT LEAST ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
MONDAY AND TUESDAY AND SCATTERED WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
LIGHT TRANSPORT WINDS WILL OCCUR MONDAY WHICH WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT
THE CLEARING INDEX. HOWEVER...SOME CONVECTION IS EXPECTED IN THE
AFTERNOON WHICH SHOULD ALLOW SOME VENTILATION AND PUSH THE CLEARING
INDEX ABOVE 500 AND THIS IS WHAT THE FORECAST HAS BEEN BASED ON.
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL BE THE LOWEST ON MONDAY AND COULD BE
SLIGHTLY BELOW 15% DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON. AS MORE MOISTURE GETS
TAPPED THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL INCREASE AND REMAIN ABOVE 15%
THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY BEFORE SOME DRYING STARTS TO TAKE PLACE ON
FRIDAY.
