FNUS75 KSLC 122120 FWSSLC Spot Forecast for Cedar city piles Henry knolls North...USFS National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT 220 PM MST Fri Dec 12 2025 Forecast is based on ignition time of 1400 MST on December 12. If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service. .DISCUSSION...A broad area of high pressure will remain in place over the eastern Great Basin region through at least Tuesday of next week, favoring dry and stable conditions over the burn area. Persistent inversions are likely to lead to dry daytime RH followed by poor recovery during the overnight hours, a trend that is anticipated through at least Tuesday as well. Better clearing index values and RH recoveries can be expected from about Wednesday through Friday as persistent inversions will be alleviated. That said, are still struggling with the depth of the next storm that will pass through northern Utah, which will influence how much relief from inversions (and poor overnight recovery) are seen across the south. No precipitation is expected with this storm. Beyond the next storm, there is generally high confidence that high pressure will remain in place across the Southwest which will help to maintain dry and stable conditions over the burn area. Current guidance is supportive of this area of high pressure breaking down by around the 23-25th of December, potentially introducing widespread moisture into the region. Until then, anticipate dry conditions. .REST OF TODAY... Sky/weather.........Sunny (0-10 percent cloud cover). CWR.................0 percent. Chance of pcpn......0 percent.
