Weather
Strong winds are expected again across Utah today through Thursday as the PacNW low slowly progresses across the northern part of the region.
The low pressure will move into Idaho and northern Utah today and linger through Friday before lifting off to the northeast. Showers and isolated thunderstorms will continue across western Idaho and the central Idaho mountains today and tonight, with some showers lingering through the work week at the highest elevations across the far north.
Temperatures gradually warm by the weekend but another weaker low looks to slide along the CA border keeping temperatures somewhat moderated across the north.
This low will move toward northern Utah on Sunday creating dynamic instability, for a period of mostly dry thunderstorm activity that will last through Monday. Strong winds across the state of Utah will accompany this trough on Sunday and Monday.
There is a chance for some moisture from the south to make it into Utah for the second half of next week bringing an increasing threat for lightning activity.
Fuels/Fire Potential
Fire potential is quite high across Utah this week as strong, warm dry winds spread across the state today through Thursday.
Light IA is possible across southwest Idaho and far northern Utah on Wednesday as the low moves through and brings very isolated, generally dry thunderstorms to the border.
