ADDED SEE TEXT FOR POTENTIAL DRY TSTMS IN NERN NV.
...ERN NV..UT...
SUBSTANTIAL MOISTURE INCREASE IS EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF UT. THIS
MOISTURE COMBINED WITH LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE
TROUGH AND UPPER-LEVEL DIVERGENCE WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD SHOWERS.
CLOUD COVER WILL LIKELY KEEP INSTABILITY LOW AND LIMIT TSTM
COVERAGE. REGARDLESS...GIVEN THE MOIST ATMOSPHERIC
PROFILES...WETTING RAINS ARE EXPECTED. SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTMS
SHOULD BEGIN EARLY IN THE PERIOD ACROSS SWRN PORTIONS OF UT AND
PROGRESSES NEWD. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE MOST LIKELY LOCATION FOR A
FEW DRY TSTMS IS NERN NV.
...ERN CO...WRN/CNTRL KS...
ANOTHER DAY OF SLY WINDS NEAR 20 MPH WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER
GUSTS...HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOW 100S...AND MIN RH
VALUES AROUND 20 PERCENT WILL RESULT IN ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0300 AM CDT WED JUL 04 2012/
...SYNOPSIS...
AN EXPANSIVE CNTRL U.S. UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD WWD...WITH MID-UPPER
LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASING ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST AND GREAT BASIN. AS A
RESULT...COVERAGE OF LIGHTNING WILL INCREASE...BUT WETTING RAINS
/POSSIBLY HEAVY AT TIMES/ WILL LIKELY TEMPER THE THREAT OF FIRE
SPREAD. ELSEWHERE...A COMPACT UPPER SHORT WAVE OVER THE CNTRL
CANADIAN PROVINCES WILL REACH THE HUDSON BAY LATE IN THE PERIOD.
STRONGER DEEP LAYER FLOW IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE SYSTEM IS GENERALLY
EXPECTED TO BE CONFINED N OF THE BORDER...LIMITING THE THREAT OF
WIND-DRIVEN FIRES ACROSS THE U.S.
