Monsoon moisture lingers before drying out this weekend
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.

Mostly sunny Sunday with an isolated shower or storm in the Philadelphia region. Here's the forecast.
After a more gray day on Saturday, the Philadelphia region is seeing the best chances of overnight showers and storms to our south. There was a lot of lightning associated with the storms across Maryland, so we'll be watching for perhaps one or two of those making their way closer to Delaware. Sunday will give us mixed skies with a trend for much more sunshine than Saturday. With the instability in the air, we cannot rule out an additional shower or rumble, especially in the late afternoon. Severe weather is likely to stay mainly north and east of the region, but we'll keep an eye on it. Monday through Wednesday, much drier, cooler and more pleasant conditions arrive behind the cold front. Skies will be sunny, humidity will be low, and highs will only reach the low to mid-80s. These may be some of the nicest days so far this summer. By Thursday, we warm to the 90s again, and on Friday, another chance of storms is in the forecast. Sunday: Shower, storm. High 91, Low 74. Monday: Much nicer. High 87, Low 71. Tuesday: Sunny and dry. High 83, Low 65. Wednesday: Sunny skies. High 86, Low 65. Thursday: More humid. High 91, Low 67. Friday: Partly cloudy. High 95, Low 73. Saturday: Partly cloudy. High 94, Low 77. NEXT Weather Radars Hourly Forecast

Storm risk returns to the Prairies as fresh instability arrives Sunday
We're closing out the weekend with a renewed threat for strong to severe thunderstorms across the southern Prairies. While much of the region deals with thick smoke from ongoing wildfires, another wedge of instability will foster fresh storm activity from British Columbia's Interior through southern Saskatchewan. Looking beyond Sunday's storm risk, some areas could see a remarkable drop in temperatures for the start of the new workweek. Keep an eye on the radar and listen for severe weather alerts in your area as you go about your day. [don't miss link] Sunday storm threat includes supercell risk Sunday morning will see a trough extending from the B.C. Interior through southern Saskatchewan, with modest instability fuelling a risk for non-severe storms for the first half of the day. Warm air spiralling around a low-pressure system will allow the atmosphere to destabilize across the southern Prairies by Sunday afternoon. The greatest risk for severe weather will cover southern Saskatchewan, including Regina. This is where ample humidity and the best dynamics may favour the development of supercell thunderstorms. Any storms in Saskatchewan able to reach severe limits will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts and large hail. We'll see a modest tornado risk across the region—a funnel cloud or even a brief tornado is possible, but it's not the primary threat with Sunday's storms. Looking ahead to an unseasonable chill Folks across central Alberta and the Rockies will experience a temperature dip through the day Sunday, but a stronger signal for well-below seasonal temperatures is on the horizon. The approaching pattern is likely to trigger a remarkable temperature drop Tuesday, with forecast daytime temperatures coming in 10-15 degrees below seasonal across central and southern Alberta. We could even see some heavy accumulating snowfall in the Rockies above 2200 metres, especially around Jasper. Header image submitted by Loreen in Saskatchewan.
