KEY MESSAGES

- A strong area of high pressure will bring dry and stable conditions through the next week.

DISCUSSION

Dry and stable conditions will persist over the next week as high pressure builds into the area. A grazing shortwave to the north will help to flatten the ridge on Monday and Tuesday with cooler air aloft and northwest flow. This will help to mitigate inversions from becoming well established. High pressure becomes more centered over the Great Basin by midweek when more noticeable haze will start to develop as warm air aloft and weak flow limit ventilation. Additionally, temperatures will warm 10 to 15 degrees above normal with cooler conditions for valley locations that become influenced by inversions.

About 90% of ensemble members do depict a deep trough moving into the western CONUS around the 9th or 10th of February. This will be our next opportunity for precipitation across Utah and SW Wyoming. This could finally be the start of a pattern change to more active weather across the west.

REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING

VFR conditions will prevail in most areas, with light, terrain-driven winds through the TAF period. The fog threat remains low across northern Utah, with the best chance at KLGU (30% chance between 11-17z) and less so at KHCR (10% chance between 12-16z).

SLC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
