Surge of moisture brings storms to southern Utah, raising flash flood potential
SALT LAKE CITY () – Happy Wednesday, Utah! The midweek brings another surge of moisture thanks to the movement of a cut-off low-pressure system pushing inland through the Desert Southwest. Bottom Line? Midweek moisture surge brings storms to Southern Utah with dry skies for the Wasatch Front. Conditions will allow for another day of slow-moving storms with an elevated flash flood threat. Deep moisture remains in place and as a result, a marginal risk for excessive rainfall is expected for the southern half of the state. The threat of flash flooding in southwest Utah has been elevated to 'probable' for Zion National Park, the Red Cliffs area, and Snow Canyon State Park. The remaining areas monitored for the flash flood risk in the south is 'possible.' This includes Grand Staircase, the Mighty 5, Buckskin Gulch and Paria Canyon. It's always important to be weather aware, so if you're recreating in southern Utah, know the risks or plan for another day of exploring, especially in low-lying areas. Meanwhile, the Wasatch Front will see a beautiful Wednesday. Drier conditions will allow for mostly sunny skies and average daytime highs. Expect highs in the upper 70s for northern Utah, with a range of 80s for the central and southern parts of the state. The upper-level low lifting through the Desert Southwest combined with a deepening low from the north will allow for more widespread storms today and tomorrow. We will also see moisture pushing further north into central Utah by Thursday, with isolated storms arriving in places like Utah and Juab counties, while areas south of I-70 will see active skies with scattered storms and wetting rains. By Friday, we could see isolated storms make it to northern Utah. A warming trend continues through the close of the work week with the threat of storms, especially in the higher terrain, hanging on for some.

Rain chances ahead for KELOLAND; 70s likely for highs
Good morning KELOLAND! It's a cool, but pleasant morning across KELOLAND. This wonderful picture was taken from our Lake Madison LIVE Cam as of 6am. Plan on highs in the mid 70s today in Sioux Falls with clouds increasing this afternoon. We can't rule out an isolated late day shower or sprinkle, but more of the showers should stay West River. A first look at the rain totals today and tomorrow certainly feature more rain in the southwest. We'll look at that in more detail in the maps below. Smoke from Canadian wildfires will continue to impact the northern plains, but the worst smoke will likely impact Minnesota and Iowa the next couple of days. You can click on the video below for more details. You can see the showers today in western KELOLAND as they move to the northeast. They will likely struggle for moisture the farther east they go later in the day. The next round of scattered rain will develop across western SD again tomorrow morning. Those pockets of rain look more organized and will try to track into eastern KELOLAND during the afternoon. Expect lingering showers and isolated t-storms into the forecast on Friday. The weekend forecast should turn warmer for most areas on Saturday with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. A cold front will dive south Saturday night, bringing some chances of showers and thunderstorms along with stronger NW winds on Sunday. Temperatures may also trend cooler than currently forecast, a trend we'll continue to watch. Here are the details of the forecast. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
