The National Weather Service Salt Lake City announced that valley humidities are expected to fall slowly, potentially reaching critical levels as early as Monday. Afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will become more isolated over time, primarily impacting higher terrain through early next week.
Any showers and thunderstorms occurring this weekend carry the threat of strong, gusty microburst winds. Officials stated there is little sign of an additional monsoon surge following this weekend until after the next weekend.
Weather conditions for the remainder of the week include scattered showers and thunderstorms for various regions. For example, the Salt Lake Desert may see scattered showers and thunderstorms north of I-80 after 1200 on Sunday, while the Wasatch Mountains could experience isolated showers and thunderstorms after 1200 on Sunday.
Looking further ahead, the 8-14 day outlook for the period of August 30 to September 5 predicts above normal temperatures and near normal precipitation.
