Utah's Labor Day weekend may get quite soggy, as monsoonal moisture returns to the Beehive State ahead of the holiday.
Friday and Saturday are shaping up to be the wettest days of the holiday weekend because of that low-pressure system to the northwest. It will begin to move south along the Pacific Coast on Friday, pumping more of that moisture up into Utah as travels down the coast, Webber explained.
Scattered to more widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected across Utah on Friday and Saturday. More storms are likely again on Sunday, though he said these may be more impactful in central and northern parts of the state. Scattered and isolated showers are also possible during the holiday Monday, as the system begins to slow down.
Even higher totals are expected in Utah's highest elevations, especially the mountains in southwest Utah and the Wasatch Mountains. "All those people that people recreate at in the desert are going to see an increased risk of flash flooding through the weekend," he said, noting that earlier-than-usual heavy storms are possible Friday and Saturday. "If possible, make alternate plans and try to avoid those areas."This weekend's storm activity also has meteorologists thinking about snow for the first time since Utah's record snowpack melted earlier this year.
