More heavy rain, rumbles for southern & central Utah Thursday evening

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Happy Thursday, Utah! Active weather conditions continue for areas of south & central Utah on Thursday, with scattered showers and storms developing.

Northern areas will see a few more clouds, with a spotty downpour chance. The flood threat returns for areas south of I-70, especially near the dry washes and slot canyons. Highs will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s for the Wasatch Front, with highs in the 80s for SW Utah.

The pattern will be repeated for Friday. Look for partly cloudy skies with afternoon scattered showers and storms developing. The best chance will be for areas along and south of I-80. Highs will be in the mid-80s for the Wasatch Front and lower 90s for SW Utah.

A big ridge of high pressure will begin to build back across Utah later this week. This will usher in drier air and much warmer weather once again across the Beehive State just in time for the upcoming weekend. Saturday will feature mostly sunny skies with highs in the upper 80s for the Wasatch Front and upper 90s for SW Utah. Look for highs to approach the triple digits for southern Utah on Sunday afternoon. Highs will be in the low to mid-90s for the Wasatch Front.

We will stay on the very warm side through most of next week with highs rising in the 90s and 100s.

Stay tuned, we’ll keep you 4Warned on-air and online!
