Outlook
A low pressure system approaching the state will collide with ample subtropical moisture. In Utah this is a pretty good recipe for thunderstorms, and in today's case there will be a chance for some of these storms to turn severe. Scattered showers and t-storms will be out and about this morning and afternoon, with the stronger storms being possible in the afternoon. Tomorrow we could see a morning shower, but mostly dry conditions start settling in Saturday and through Sunday. Next week 70s and 80s are dialed up with some slight rain chances Tuesday. - Matt Johnson, KSL Weather 9.18.26
