Evening weather forecast, May 4, 2026

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]Kevin outside. Beautiful day out there.

[00:00:02]Clouds started filtering in throughout the day though, huh?

[00:00:04]>> This is super cool. It did. This is how clouds form on the time lapse today, which you got to watch because it's so dang cool. You wake up this morning, blue skies. You're thinking, "Hey, what a day, right?" Well, you add a little heat and next thing you know, the clouds start bubbling. They start building.

[00:00:19]They start creating anvil tops. They start raining over the ochres. And that's how the day went. Started out one way, finished off totally different. And some spots got some decent little rain.

[00:00:29]Now, it wasn't huge, but the rain showers were out there. Helper almost two ten of an inch. Sundance picked up a couple of hundreds. Bryce picked up a couple of hundreds. Now, southern Utah yesterday ended up with a tenth to a quarter of an inch in many spots. But these are coming out of today's storms.

[00:00:43]Towilla 006, Monaceel. 06, Midway picked up. 04, and Milford picked up.002. So, hey, little bit of rain. And there's still a little bit out there right along the Utah Idaho border. A few sprinkles.

[00:00:56]Now, a lot of this isn't reaching the ground. It's evaporating, but some spots it is primarily over Utah Lake and on the southern end of Utah County up over Highway 6 rolling on through Carbon County. And that had a little lightning and thunder until the sun went down and then that lightning sub subsided. But there is still rain out there. Let me show you our temperatures. 59 in Logan with 60s all the way south of Provo, 50 in Price, 67 in St. George. St. George has been cool today. Moab is 72 and it came in part because of that storm system that came through yesterday and kind of kept them with cloud cover today. You can see what's happening.

[00:01:34]There's a big low pressure sitting right off of California, Nevada. That's kicking this moisture to the north. But there's a huge low pressure over the uh of the Great Lakes that's actually putting in a northerly flow that's suppressing and pushing that. So, this moisture is really struggling to progress to the north. What will happen is this little boundary layer from the low to the south is going to continue to push north. Then watch what happens tomorrow. It actually comes back on us out of the northwest tomorrow afternoon.

[00:02:05]And that gives us a little chance of some scattered storminess. It lingers over the east for Wednesday morning, but by afternoon gone and all sunshine rolling through Wednesday afternoon and into Thursday, mostly sunny. A few little sprinkles kind of clip through southwestern Wyoming and southern Idaho, but pretty quiet pattern. I mean, this little guy tomorrow gives us the best chance for a few scattered thunderstorms. After that, it becomes very sparse, partly cloudy in the valleys, but over the mountains, Carbon County, a lot like what we had today. A few little buildups and a chance for some thunderstorms. Central southern Utah, partly cloudy to mostly sunny, a little warmer across areas. Moab, St. George, low 70s. When you look at how that compares, average highs 81. So we're below normal by almost 10°, but we skyrocket Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 90s for Mother's Day, weekend, and 96 next Monday. It's warm. Was that front, lightning bolt possible, some scattered showers in the valleys, but it's Logan, Evston, Heber City, Roosevelt, all have the better chance to get some of that measurable rain. Park City will go to 58. Salt Lake City 10 better at 68°. We dry it out out after tomorrow. Upper 70s Friday. Mother's Day weekend. Gorgeous.

[00:03:16]And then 82 a week from today. Hey, on Mondays we announced our monthly winner in the KSL Le Olsson photo contest. Jeff Christensen's shot of Salem Pond was voted as the monthly winner for the month of April. Congratulations, Jeff.

[00:03:29]Your picture will be featured in the 2027 calendar.

[00:03:32]>> You have that. You had clouds. You had sunsets. Wow.

[00:03:35]>> I know. Visual fun day.

[00:03:36]>> Yep. Thanks. He back.
