Weather Alert: More wet weather is heading our way! 🌧️
If you have outdoor travel or plans for the upcoming holiday weekend, make sure to keep a close eye on the forecast. A strong Pacific Northwest storm system is projected to move into our region beginning late Saturday and continue through early next week, bringing deep tropical moisture, widespread rain, and higher-elevation snow across Utah and southwest Wyoming.
With significant precipitation expected, heightened threats of localized flooding and slick road conditions are possible across the area.
Plan ahead, drive carefully, and check local road and weather advisories before traveling!
