Gusty thunderstorms possible statewide on Memorial Day
SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Utah Memorial Day weather statewide starts with partly cloudy skies and pleasant temperatures. As the morning progresses, clouds and light showers will increase across southeast Utah.
Stronger showers and thunderstorms are likely over the south-central mountains from I-70 south from midday through the afternoon.
Storms will produce gusty winds and lightning, but rainfall generally will remain light except over the highest terrain.
Showers will move north through the afternoon across mainly eastern Utah, though a few storms may develop over western Utah.
Once again, gusty winds are possible with these generally dry storms.
Showers are possible over the Uinta Mountains by late evening.
Strong southerly winds are the next weather event in the forecast, beginning Tuesday and continuing through Wednesday across western and southwest Utah.
Critical fire danger remains the main threat as the winds continue drying out already dry vegetation.
