that a Rex Block pattern developed over the West over the past few days. That's where a "strong" high-pressure system stays above a low-pressure system, causing a "fairly stagnant weather pattern" in the areas under the high-pressure system and "cooler and stormy weather" in areas closer to the low-pressure system, meteorologists explained in the post.
On Tuesday, one high-pressure ridge remained over northeast Utah and another was set over southeast New Mexico and west Texas, while a low-pressure system remained off the coast of California. "That's helping pump the moisture in through the Desert Southwest and into Utah," said KSL meteorologist Matt Johnson, adding that the northern high-pressure system is also blocking most of the storms from moving north of central Utah, keeping northern Utah hotter and drier.
Stormy weather is possible across southern Utah through the rest of the week and into next week; however, the high-pressure system is forecast to continue to block off most of the storm action again on Wednesday. There's a growing probability of scattered showers along the Wasatch Front on Thursday and Friday before it picks up over the weekend.
"The real moisture and thunderstorm activity comes in as we Friday, through the weekend and into next week," Johnson said.issued a pair of new outlooks from Sunday through Aug. 29, which lists all of Utah as having a greater probability of above-normal precipitation. It also indicates Utah may have more below-normal temperatures to start next week.
