Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Utah
National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
125 PM MDT Sun Aug 16 2026
...HOT AND DRY...NEXT MONSOON POTENTIAL FRIDAY...
.BROADCAST DISCUSSION...A drier pattern will build into the
region through at least midweek, with valley humidities persisting
in the teens to low 20s. Elevated to locally critical fire
weather conditions may occur on Tuesday and Wednesday across
central and southern Utah with an increase in southwesterly winds.
.DISCUSSION...Conditions will become gradually hotter and drier
through Thursday, with a low chance of showers and thunderstorms
developing on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Chance for wetting
rains remains near zero. Near critical to critical humidities
will become more widespread across most valleys with most higher
terrain seeing minimum RH in the 25-40% range. Southwesterly winds
will increase slightly on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons,
resulting in widespread elevated fire weather conditions with
isolated areas reaching critical values for wind and RH, primarily
in valley locations where RH is lower.
Monsoonal moisture looks more likely to return by Friday, though
isolated thunderstorms could develop across far southern Utah by
Thursday afternoon. This monsoon push will likely result in
increasing RH, wetting rain chances, and lightning probabilities.
***Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds***
***All winds are 20 foot, 10-minute averages***
