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.
