KEY MESSAGES, Issued 1141 AM MDT Mon Sep 7 2026
- Mostly dry with near normal temperatures this week with the next chance for precipitation next weekend.
DISCUSSION, Issued 1141 AM MDT Mon Sep 7 2026
A cooler and drier airmass has settled into the region behind a cold front. This will keep high temperatures 5-10 degrees below normal areawide. Westerly flow aloft will persist through much of the week which will keep conditions dry with seasonal temperatures, and winds will also be much lighter and diurnally driven. Guidance has trended away from a wet end of week solution. The next chance for precipitation will be over the weekend, although a lot of uncertainty still exists amongst the ensemble members. ~75% of members have some moisture return to portions of eastern and southern Utah by Saturday while the other 25% of members keep conditions drier. 87% of members have a trough moving through the northern intermountain west by Monday which would bring another cold front and chances for precipitation across northern Utah.
AVIATION, Issued 1141 AM MDT Mon Sep 7 2026
KSLC...VFR conditions are forecast to prevail at the KSLC terminal through the TAF period. The next wind shift can be expected around 04z with drainage flow developing out of the southeast.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...VFR conditions are forecast to prevail across all terminals within the airspace through the TAF period. Generally diurnal flows are expected at all terminals with clear skies.
FIRE WEATHER
A cooler and drier airmass has settled into the area with temperatures running 5-10 degrees below normal today before rebounding to near normal tomorrow and persisting for the remainder of the week. A westerly flow aloft will prevent moisture from moving back into the area, and this will also help to keep winds lighter and more diurnally driven. The next chance for precipitation holds off until this weekend, but specifics remain uncertain. The highest chances for precipitation this weekend are currently across eastern portions of Utah.
