Outlook

Showers and storms will move into southern and central Utah Wednesday, and some of these storms will be strong to severe. The main threats will be damaging wind gusts, large hail, and frequent lightning. Isolated strong to severe storms will be possible for southern and central Utah on Thursday. Both days across both areas will have an elevated threat for flash flooding, so please avoid recreating out doors and stay out of slot canyons and dry washes. A few showers may creep into the southern half of the Wasatch Front Wednesday afternoon. Better chances for storms will come Thursday afternoon and evening across northern Utah, continuing at times through Friday. Heavy rain will also be possible at times. Rainfall totals will be highest across southern and eastern Utah from .50" to 1.50". Northern Utah could see totals up to 1" with localized areas higher. Mountain water totals from 1-3" with a few areas in southern Utah up to 5"! Snow totals on the back side of this storm will be around 2-6" above 8000ft. - Devan Masciulli, KSL Weather 10.20.26
