Tue, Aug 26 - Just in the middle of this rainstorm

-

We still have moist air moving up from the South. As a result, we have had a few rainy days and have more to come. So far this week, we have had 0.24" of rain, and we are expecting more in the next few days. Today has the highest potential for the most rain with a possibility of about 1/3" this afternoon.

Rain will continue for the rest of the week, tapering off to a quieter weekend. However, we are still looking at a few days of potential rain into next week as well as we have a low pressure system forming off the west coast, feeding more humid air into our area.

Day Low (*F) High (*F) Precipitation
Yesterday 57.2 89.1 0.00
Today 60.2 77 90%
Tomorrow 52 79 70%

Tue, July 22, 2025 - Extended Dry Spell

-
Yesterday, we had trace amounts of rain in various areas around the valley, but nothing substantial. In the meantime, we have a pocket of dry air forming over the Great Basin. This is usually the time of year that we start getting more rain from the Southwest monsoon. This year, however, it looks like we have an extended dry spell and will have to wait a couple more weeks before our rainy season.

Mon, Aug 18 - We had Rain!!

-
We had rain this weekend! On Saturday, a thunderstorm formed and made its way down the valley. Rainfall amounts were substantial with 0.25" of rain on campus! Other parts of the valley had more (0.31" in Spring City, 0.54" at a different site in Ephraim, and about 0.5" up Thistle Canyon). The Skyline also had about 0.25" of rain. Looking forward, we may not see as much rain for a few days. A High Pressure system we have been watching was parked over Colorado, bringing humid air from the South. However, this High Pressure system has moved to the West and is now sitting over Central and Eastern Utah. As a result, much of Utah will actually experience very high temperatures for the next couple of days. This system will weaken as the week progresses, however. More of the Southwest Monsoon will extend Northward and reach our area later this week, bringing more rain in the later parts of the week and into the weekend. Day Low (*F) High (*F) Precipitation ...
