...WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS UTAH THROUGH
SATURDAY...
.BROADCAST DISCUSSION...Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms
are expected this afternoon across UT as monsoonal moisture remains
over the state. Chances for showers and thunderstorms continue
through at least Saturday.
.DISCUSSION...Monsoonal moisture remains in place throughout UT
increasing humidities and chances for showers / thunderstorms across
the state, helping moderating fire weather conditions statewide.
Chances for showers and thunderstorms see a notable uptick across
the entirety of the state today as a stronger monsoonal push arrives
this afternoon. Expect showers and thunderstorms to develop along
higher terrain parallel to I-15 each afternoon over the next several
days around 1200-1400 with gusty outflow winds, heavy rainfall, and
lightning. Some storms this afternoon, particularly across northwest
UT and southeast UT may feature severe wind gusts in excess of
58mph. Winds will generally remain light terrain driven
/ diurnal over the next several days other than thunderstorm
influenced winds and gusts.
***Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds***
***All winds are 20 foot, 10-minute averages***
