Ready for a break from the heat?
Monsoonal moisture will be locked in across Utah for the rest of the week, bringing a more active weather pattern over the next few days. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to become increasingly widespread in the afternoons and evenings, especially across Central & Southern Utah. Storms will become most likely across the north on Thursday & Friday.
Some of the storms could bring heavy rain with flash flooding becoming even more of a concern, especially near trouble spots like slot canyons and recent burn scars.
The clouds and rain chances will finally give us a break from the late summer heat! Temps could be about 10-15 degrees below average by the end of the week, so you might be able to turn the AC off for a couple days!
It's expected to dry out & warm up this weekend with thunderstorms pretty much confined to the mountains by then. Another monsoonal pattern could set up again early next week.
