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.
