Wildfires, thunderstorms and ... snow? Why it’s possible we’ll see some snow this week
Utah is expected to see massive storms that could bring fire and flood threats to the state.
- But the weather could bring snow, too.
Upcoming Utah weather forecast
The National Weather Service said Monday that there is a flash flood warning for much of Utah, including the Wasatch Mountains in Salt Lake County to the southern Utah border.
- There’s also a red flag warning for the northwest part of the state since the upcoming thunderstorms could bring massive rounds of lightning.
On Tuesday, there’s a risk of thunderstorms developing. Those storms are “capable of producing torrential rainfall,” according to National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center.
Rounding out the threats for Tuesday, a Flash Flood WATCH has been issued for portions of southern and central Utah. Notably, burn scars in central Utah and slot canyons in southern Utah are at highest risk. #utwx pic.twitter.com/FP8wgPInD7
