After a prolonged summer dry spell, the monsoonal moisture came into Utah this week with an intensity that we really haven’t seen much of this season.
According to KSL-TV meteorologist Matt Johnson, “Monday’s thunderstorms brought some serious rain totals across the Wasatch Front and state of Utah with most locations picking up at least 1 inch of rainfall. Monsoonal moisture is still in place today, helping to pop up more scattered thunderstorms across the state, some could produce heavy rainfall again.”
