... STRONG PACIFIC STORM EXPECTED FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND...

A COLD PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM ORIGINATING FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL PUSH A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY. THE COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE SOUTH OVER UTAH BEGINNING FRIDAY MORNING. PRECIPITATION SHOULD BEGIN A FEW HOURS BEFORE OR AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES.

GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. THIS WILL LIKELY CREATE WINDY CONDITIONS AHEAD OF THE FRONT FRIDAY FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS AND WEST DESERTS OF UTAH.

TEMPERATURES WILL DROP CONSIDERABLY AFTER THE FRONT PASSES BRINGING WINTER-LIKE CONDITIONS BACK TO THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE AREA. PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BE WIDESPREAD ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL UTAH ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS IN THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. RAIN WILL CHANGE TO SNOW ON FRIDAY FOR NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS ABOVE 7500 FEET AND WILL LOWER TO NEAR 6000 FT ON SATURDAY MORNING.

COLD... UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST INTO SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNING WITH VALLEY RAIN SHOWERS AND HIGHER ELEVATION SNOW SHOWERS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA.

ANYONE INVOLVED IN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES WHO WILL BE AFFECTED BY COLD... WET... AND WINDY CONDITIONS SHOULD MAKE PREPARATIONS AND ADJUST PLANS AS NEEDED. IN ADDITION TO MOTORISTS AND OUTDOOR RECREATIONISTS... HOLIDAY WEEKEND TRAVEL WILL BE TREACHEROUS THROUGH THE MOUNTAINOUS AREAS OF THE REGION....

Thats pretty much what I faced at the F Gorge this past Saturday afternoon through Sunday night other than a couple of breaks. Monday was great.

It will be about the same as Fish Lake last Saturday. If you don't like the cold and snow then stay in the valleys.

It's rainin pretty good right now in Salt Lake. Wonder if this is the prelude to it. Guess that warm water fishin' won't be that great this evening.[pirate] However, we sure can use this moisture. It's gotta be snowing up in the mountains right now.
