Areas of Severe Thunderstorms, Excessive Rainfall, and Extreme Heat Wednesday

In the Upper Midwest, heavy to excessive rain may bring flash and urban flooding through Wednesday. Scattered severe thunderstorms capable of large hail and damaging wind gusts are possible from the central High Plains into the Upper Midwest Wednesday. Extreme heat is ongoing over the Desert Southwest through Thursday. Read More >

High pressure will remain southeast of the Four Corners the rest of the weekend and continue drawing subtropical monsoon moisture into southern Colorado and Utah.  Expect an increase in showers and thunderstorms Sunday with gusty outflow winds, small hail and brief heavy rain possible with storms.  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.
