National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
347 AM MDT Sat Aug 22 2020

...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO 9 PM MDT THIS
EVENING...

.DISCUSSION...High pressure aloft centered near the Four Corners region
will maintain another day of above normal temperatures and lower humidity
values this Saturday. Mid-level moisture working north through western 
Arizona overnight will continue north across southwest Utah today. This 
moisture will fuel shower and isolated thunderstorm activity beginning 
early this afternoon and continuing in early this evening.

These showers and thunderstorms will generate little if any rainfall,
with gusty and erratic outflow winds and some lightning. Critical
fire weather conditions could exist as a result of the showers/storms
this afternoon through early this evening. 

Moisture will continue to increase Sunday and on into early next week.
Showers along with a few thunderstorms will form again over southwest
Utah Sunday afternoon. Wetting rains will remain unlikely with this 
next round of showers/storms. Gusty/erratic winds and lightning will
remain an issue with any shower or thunderstorm. The chance of wetting
rains will increase early in the week as more substantial moisture 
works across southwest Utah.
