SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Residents across central and southern Utah face another round of flash flood concerns this afternoon, especially near slot canyons and burn scars, before drier conditions set in through early week. Gusty winds will also be a hazard across northern and western Utah as dry air pushes in.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, Sunday through Tuesday will bring hot and mostly dry weather across the state. The exception could be isolated showers or thunderstorms across southern Utah, with the first chances arriving as early as Tuesday afternoon.
Midweek, forecasters are tracking a stronger surge of moisture likely to reach Utah between Wednesday and Friday, potentially lasting into next weekend. While details remain uncertain, the system could bring widespread thunderstorms and renewed flash flooding risks. Emergency managers urge those planning trips to slot canyons, hiking trails, or remote desert areas to remain alert and have multiple ways to receive warnings.
Conditions should remain stable through Tuesday, but by midweek, residents should prepare for rapidly changing weather and possible advisories.
