After wind and dust, Salt Lake faces a drizzly week ahead
Now that the dust has settled, Salt Lakers should expect drizzly weather through the end of the week.
State of play: Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are on tap this week, Julie Cunningham, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, told Axios.
Though Cunningham predicts the recent high winds will die down over the next few days.
What they're saying:"We had these really strong winds that we don't see terribly often, but it was enough to get that dust flying," she said.
Wind gusts of up to 74 mph were reported in Tooele County Sunday, causing damage to mobile homes and trees, according to KSL-TV.
Cunningham noted that the strong winds and the amount of dust that arose are not unusual for this time of year.
What's next: For those going to the four-day Kilby Block Party, there's a chance of showers on Thursday and cloudy skies are predicted for Friday.
