...WET WEEK IN STORE FOR MUCH OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY CENTERED ALONG THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA COAST WILL DRIFT SOUTH MONDAY...THEN TURN EAST AND
ARRIVE OVER THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN TUESDAY. THIS LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST THROUGH THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED
STATES THIS WEEK... RESULTING IN A LONG DURATION PRECIPITATION EVENT
FOR MUCH OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING.
MOISTURE MOVING UP FROM THE SOUTH AHEAD OF THE LOW WILL BRING
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO MAINLY THE SOUTHERN
TWO-THIRDS OF UTAH ON MONDAY. THE AREAL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF
THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY AS THE LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE GREAT BASIN.
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WILL SETTLE INTO THE AREA WITH THE
ARRIVAL OF THE STORM TUESDAY NIGHT. THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS WILL BE
CONFINED TO AREAS NORTH OF THE LOW CENTER ACROSS CENTRAL AND
NORTHEAST UTAH WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. VALLEY LOCATIONS
WILL STAY PRIMARILY IN RAIN...WITH THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF
SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL UTAH RECEIVING SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW.
THE END OF THE WEEK WILL SEE PRECIPITATION TURN SHOWERY AND SHIFT
MORE TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BRING AN END TO ANY REMAINING ORGANIZED PRECIPITATION
BY THE WEEKEND.
