SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – Happy Thursday, Utah! The hazy sky will kick off our Thursday across the state as smoke and haze continue to move in from ongoing wildfires to our north and west.
Bottom Line? Slightly cooler temps with scattered rain chances for the Wasatch Front with triple-digit heat and isolated flash flood potential across southern Utah.
We have a change to the weather pattern brewing thanks to a trough moving inland into the Pacific Northwest. This trough will push east and bring some changes as our ridge of high pressure will slide southeast and ease its firm grip on the Great Basin. This will bring a slight cool down to the state on Thursday, especially along the Wasatch Front.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected throughout much of the state, bringing potential for gusty winds and heavy rain. On Friday, the trough will bring cooler conditions with more scattered showers and thunderstorms. Gusty southwest winds around 25 mph and low humidity will heighten fire danger. We could see fire alerts posted for parts of the state, so stay tuned.
By Saturday, we begin to dry out with a drying trend from the southwest to the northeast. Few storms remain possible over northern Utah and southwest Wyoming with drier air taking over by the afternoon and evening. Storms will likely be isolated in nature and likely over the mountains. Sunday is expected to be seasonal and dry with some warming into next week.
