Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Utah
National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT
320 AM MDT Thu Oct 16 2025
NOTICE TO ALL USERS: The final routine Fire Weather Forecast for
the 2025 season will be issued the afternoon of Saturday
October 18. NFDRS trend forecasts and the Smoke Management Forecast
will also end at that time. An automated version
of the Fire Weather Forecast will continue to be issued throughout
the cool season for planning purposes. Spot Forecasts will remain
available at any time through the normal Spot Forecast request
procedures.
...BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES AREAWIDE TODAY; REMAINING WET IN THE NORTH...
.BROADCAST DISCUSSION...A low pressure system will continue to
bring valley rain and mountain snow to northern Utah while the
south trends drier. A warming and drying trend will follow through
the upcoming weekend, with another storm system expected late
Sunday into Monday.
.DISCUSSION...A low pressure system will continue to bring valley rain
and mountain snow to much of northern Utah through this morning, mainly
impacting areas east of I-15. This precipitation will gradually wind
down this afternoon as the storm system begins to move away from the
area. With the widespread precipitation and cloud cover temperatures
will run 10 degrees below normal across the north. Meanwhile drier air
has spread across southern Utah overnight, which will result in
increased sunshine with temperatures a few degrees below normal today.
A warming and drying trend will follow for the remainder of the week
and into the upcoming weekend. Temperatures will climb back to near
normal by Saturday, and then trend a few degrees above normal by
Sunday as southwesterly flow temporarily develops and strengthens. The
next storm system will push a cold front through the region Sunday
night, with much cooler temperatures expected Monday. Any precipitation
with this system is expected to remain confined to northern Utah Sunday
night. Another warming and drying trend will follow heading into the
middle of next week.
