.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions and warm temperatures remain in place though winds
should be lighter than seen over the last few days. This pattern
continues into next week though an isolated shower or storm can`t
be ruled out Tuesday afternoon over the eastern Uintas. The next
chance for any precipitation continues to be next weekend but
plenty of uncertainty remains in the forecast.
...GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED NEAR ANY SHOWERS
OR THUNDERSTORMS...
