...WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN UTAH...
.BROADCAST DISCUSSION...Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms
continue across central and southern UT with isolated to scattered
storms across northern UT this afternoon. Monsoonal moisture
continues to push into UT through next week with daily chances for
rain persisting while increasing humidities serving to moderate fire
weather conditions.
.DISCUSSION...Monsoonal moisture continues to surge north
into UT increasing humidities while raising chances for showers and
thunderstorms across the state, both serving to moderate fire
weather conditions. Chances for showers and thunderstorms remain
highest across central and southern UT, high terrain across northern
UT, and the Uintas ranging from 60-90%. A wetting rain remains
favored this afternoon across each mentioned location. Expect
showers and thunderstorms to develop along higher terrain parallel
to I-15 each afternoon over the next several days around 1200-1300
with gusty outflow winds, heavy rainfall, and lightning. Winds will
generally remain light terrain driven / diurnal over the next
several days.
***Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds***
***All winds are 20 foot, 10-minute averages***
