The best potential for heavy rain should occur across southeast Utah and southwest Colorado where the better moisture resides and scattered thunderstorms are forecast. Drier air moves back in Sunday evening and will remain through next week. Southwest winds aloft will help keep wildfire smoke out of much of the region, with the exception of extreme northeast Utah and northwest Colorado, where a more westerly component will keep the southern edge of the smoke in this region.
