Warm Air Rises Warm air rises, just as hot water will go to the top of the tea kettle making it boil. When the warm air rises, cold alT rushes in to take its place from gravitational pull. (Destructive winds are more widespread over the valleys to the west of the mountains in the springtime than in the winter. This is due, in part, to the atmosphere being more unstable in spring, so that air near the surface and air aloft mix more readily. Causes Drifting When there is snow on the ground this condition causes drifting along the Wasatch front. 1949 On the night of June the wind drained from Wyoming into Utah so fast that winds of 50 miles an hour were reached damage. causing widespread During the night of September 1941, one of the worst windstorms on record hit northwest Utah. Damage was greatest in the Ogden and Willard areas, causing damage estimated at $100,000. Gusts reached 80 miles an hour in this storm. The Wasatch winds do have a good as well as an unfavorable aspect. The nocturnal drainage winds near the canyon mouths stir up the air considerably and reduce the danger of late and early autumn frosts to such an extent that the growing season Is lengthened by several weeks. Thats why we have some of the best fruit orchards in Utah In this area. When the winds become destructively severe, as they did a year ago, the wind drainage from Wyoming is so powerful it pours over the mountains as well as down the canyons in its mad rush to fill the vacuum caused by a low pressure area in northern Utah, , - new civil service examination has been announced for professional nurses for filling positions paying from $3,410 to $5,940 a year, in the nursing department of the Clinical Center, National Institutes of iHpalth of the U.
