EVENT...INCRG SHOWERS/TSTMS ASSOCD WITH UPPR CYCLONIC FLOW
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...SHOWERS AND WARM TOP TSTMS HAVE BEEN INCRG
ON EITHER SIDE OF THE WY/ID BORDER AS WELL AS PARTS OF N UT AND S OF THE
GREAT SALT LAKE AS WELL. GOES IMAGERY SHOW SHOWS LARGE SCALE CYCLONIC
FLOW ALOFT..WITH UPPR CIRC IN E NV AND NEWD-MOVG VORT CENTER OVER SW UT.
.
CLOUD TOPS HAVE BEEN EXPANDING AND COOLING ACRS THE AREA FM NE NV
THRU N UT/SE ID/W WY. GOES WIND ANALYSIS SHOWS UPPR DIFFLUENCE ACRS
THE DISCUSSION AREA..WITH MAX DIFFLUENCE SW-NE ORIENTED FM CENTRAL UT
THRU N CENTRAL WY. GOES WV IMAGERY ANIMATION SUGGESTS THAT DIFFLUENCE IS
INCRG. THE CONCERN GOING FORWARD AS THAT VORT OVER SW UT WILL BE TAKING
AIM ON SW WY..WHICH SHOULD FURTHER INCR LIFT..AND MAINTAIN DEVELOPMENT
RE-DEVELOPMENT OF CNVTN OVER CENTRAL TO N UT AND SW/W WY. SERLY FLOW ACRS
N UT/W WY/ID WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT SHOWERS/TSTMS ACRS SE ID AS WELL.
.
AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES INDICATE HRLY RAINFALL IN THE 0.2-0.4"/HR
RANGE. HOWEVER..GIVEN THE WARM TOP NATURE OF THE CNVTN..MAX AMOUNTS MAY
BE HIGHER AT TIMES...ESP GIVEN THE PW'S RUNNING AROUND 0.7" PLUS/MINUS
AND THE PERCENTAGE OF NORMAL RUNNING ABOUT 150% ACCORDING TO CLIMATOLOGY.
