Nice start to the weekend, but a stretch of unsettled weather at our doorstep
Ahead of the system, we'll see prominent southerly wind transporting warm southern air into the north bringing warm weather. The Wasatch Front is expected to be about as warm as St. George with daytime highs climbing into the low 80s. Valleys in southern and central Utah will be in the mid to upper 70s and higher terrain will be in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Although it'll be warm, plenty of moisture will be moving in through southern Utah. A large Pacific system will drag moisture across the Great Basin and into the Beehive State, spelling scattered showers and thunderstorms from southwest Utah to the West Desert by the late afternoon. Northern Utah won't see much moisture apart from an increase in cloud coverage, but there will still be plenty of sunshine to go around Saturday. By Sunday, the north will join in the fun with scattered thunderstorms on deck for the vast majority of the state.
This slow-moving system will keep widespread showers and thunderstorms locked in through Monday, but isolated showers will stick around for many into Tuesday for most of us. Temperatures will also take a serious drop, tanking all the way into the lower 60s for valleys by Monday, including in St. George.

Hot, breezy, with a critical fire threat through Thursday evening
SALT LAKE CITY () — Happy Wednesday, Utah! Our Wednesday will feature mostly sunny, hazy, and breezy conditions. A gusty SW wind Wednesday afternoon will combine with the dry vegetation, very low humidity levels, and warm temperatures to expand the elevated fire danger across parts of northern and eastern Utah. Highs will climb into the mid to upper 90s for the Wasatch Front and 102 for St. George. A minor surge in potential monsoon moisture will try to bring a few isolated showers to the state for Thursday and Friday afternoon. The overall rain chance will remain pretty low, but isolated showers will be possible especially over southern and eastern Utah and far eastern Utah. Highs will remain in the mid to upper 90s for the Wasatch Front and into the low 100s for SW Utah. The end of the week and weekend will feature a mix of clouds and sunshine with highs dipping back into the mid 90s for the Wasatch Front and around 100 for SW Utah during the afternoon hours.

Monsoon moisture lingers before drying out this weekend
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Happy Weekend, Utah! There's a few storms today with gradual drying expected for Sunday. This weekend will start off with lingering monsoon moisture before a drier airmass takes over. On Saturday thunderstorms will still be around, but mainly in higher terrain. The Wasatch Front could see a storm pop up, but nothing too significant. There isn't as much moisture for the storms to tap into, so what rain we do see shouldn't cause too many problems. Flash flooding will be 'Possible' for Bryce Canyon National Park, Capitol Reef National Park, and the San Rafael Swell, but not as high as it has been the past couple days. Things continue drying out into Sunday with only a couple showers possible in the northeast corner of the state. A bit of lingering moisture will bring a mix of sun and clouds, but precipitation does not look very likely in valleys. Temperatures will be in the low to mid 90s for most valleys, upper 70s to mid 80s for higher terrain, and upper 90s to low 100s for the typically warmer spots. There won't be a whole lot of variation in temperatures from this weekend and into next week, which means we're expecting fairly seasonable temperatures for at least the next few days. On Monday the dry airmass will still be in place and winds are expected to pick up. That's not a great combination for fire danger, which could become critical to start the workweek. The bottom line? A few more thunderstorms on deck to start the weekend, but drier air is moving in. We'll keep you updated in our 4Warn Weather forecast both on-air and online, we are Good4Utah!
