Spot Forecast for San Pitch RX...FFSL Central Area
National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
341 PM MST Fri Nov 22 2024

Forecast is based on ignition time of 1400 MST on November 22.
If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather
Service.

.DISCUSSION...A cold front will gradually approach the area from the
northwest through Saturday, with one more day of mild, breezy southwest
winds. Ridgetop winds will be higher than what is indicated in the spot
forecast for Saturday, with nearby ridgetop wind gusts around 40 mph.
The approach of the front will act to make the atmosphere less
stable, and in doing so will increase mixing and clearing. The cold front
is expected to move through the area late Sunday morning or early Sunday
afternoon, accompanied by a band of snow. Current forecast suggests 2-4
inches of snow for the burn site, with snow tapering off Sunday evening.
Increasingly stable conditions will build into the area behind the front
on Sunday, with clearing diminishing to around 400. If mixing is too
aggressively forecast, could see a scenario where mixing does just sneak over
500. Mixing looks poor on Monday, with clearing in the 200s. This is
when the next system will move into the area, with another round of snow
late Monday through Wednesday, with higher totals in the 6-12 inch range.
