Textbook Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds cresting across the Wellsville Mountains of Utah! PERFECTION!🌊🤩#utwx 📍: Cache Valley, UT 📸: Holly Reynolds

@phoenix5time Kind of a wild sequence

@KSL_Matt What’s going on in Fillmore? First earthquakes and now tornadoes

(1/2)FUNNEL CLOUD: Mindy Cannon sent me this video of a funnel cloud taking shape just northwest of Fillmore, Utah this afternoon! I sped up the video a little bit so you could see the clear rotation extending down from the cloud. #utwx

@israelbarlow8 I was actually going to message you about it! Thanks for the pics!

@KSL_Matt Here is another view of the storm developing

(2/2)If it would’ve touched the ground, this would’ve been a “tornado” indeed. After reviewing radar, this was associated with a developed thunderstorm and had a rotation signature. Pretty fun stuff for Utah standards. 🌪️

@StephanieG1969 Love it thanks for the report! Yep, we are getting some really good totals out of this storm!

@KSL_Matt Not sure. The app I have says 0.72”, but it took awhile for it to start sticking. It was snowing hard for at least 30 minutes. Rain before and after. Rain has now melted it all. Live the moisture though.

FAIRVIEW CANYON SNOW: 7:15AM UDOT webcams showing snow-covered roads up Fairview Canyon on SR-31. Heads up if this is part of your morning drive!

@StephanieG1969 Oh wow, love it! Let me know how much you get!

@KSL_Matt It’s snowing up on the North Ogden benches!

@JMichaelsonUT Okay good!

@KSL_Matt Been coming down better now for about an hour, that switch really did make a huge difference!

(1/2)SUNDAY - MONDAY RAINFALL: I’ve divided out the Wasatch Front rain totals into 2 days. You’ll notice on Sunday’s rainfall totals that the model average suggests the brunt of the rain will be north of SLC, courtesy of a stalling rain band.

@_myfriendryan Already at 1.36” up there. You’re on!

@KSL_Matt My hunch is Sundance is going to crush it with water on this one. Let's see if it happens!

@JMichaelsonUT Yeah. Seeing rain garages in the area showing .18” in Tooele, .01” at Tooele airport and .49” in Stockton. Looks like flow is switching to NW right now, usually bodes better for Tooele valley

@KSL_Matt Everything is crossed. So far there's barely been enough here to wet the sidewalk.

@JMichaelsonUT CPC*

@JMichaelsonUT I can tell you right now for the month of April it’s been wrong. Precip will likely finish above avg. when COC called for high confidence of it being below avg in the west

2026 SUMMER MONSOON: The Climate Prediction Center (CPC) continues to predict a not only active monsoon season, but an early onset to the season too. If this were to pan out it would be the ideal scenario for helping to end the fire season early! #utwx

@bchambers1 Thanks for sharing! Beautiful view of Cache!

On top of the Wellsvilles this morning stands my adventurous mountain climbing brother. Still a good amount of snow at the top. Beautiful, green cache valley below! @KSL_Matt

(2/2) Right now it's looking like .25-.75 from Fillmore to Logan, but pockets of 1 to 2" are possible in some areas. We're still about 36 hours out from the onset of this system... but it looks like the brunt of the rain will fall on Sunday!

(1/2)TRENDING WETTER: Our Sunday - Monday system is looking like it will have a rich subtropical tap of moisture. This inherently increases our chances of more widespread soaking rains. On the flip side this will push snow levels to 8,000FT Sunday.
