Gusty southwesterly winds up to 30-35 mph will combine with relative humidity as low as 6 percent to create critical fire weather conditions this weekend. Thus, Red Flag Warnings have been issued for central and southern Utah west of the Green River. Be sure to check your local fire restrictions!
Flash flooding is also possible across portions of southern and eastern Utah this afternoon and evening, especially across slot canyons, normally dry washes, and recent burn scars. The area shaded green on the inset map suggests a Marginal Risk of excessive rainfall. Those with outdoor plans should monitor the weather and consider alternate plans. ⚠
