POSSIBLE TOXIC DUST MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH 💨 Take a look at this. A wall of dust is being pushed east and south off the Great Salt Lake as thunderstorm outflow winds race across the area. Some of this dust may contain particles from the exposed lakebed, which has raised air quality concerns in recent years. It’s impossible to know exactly what’s in the dust without testing, but visibility could drop quickly, and air quality may temporarily worsen. If you’re out driving, be prepared for sudden reductions in visibility. If you have asthma or other respiratory conditions, it may be a good idea to limit time outdoors until the dust settles.

This video was sent to me by a viewer whose husband was evacuating their cabin near Eureka as the Cherry Fire exploded Friday afternoon. The flames can be seen burning on both sides of the road as he drove to safety. It’s a sobering look at just how fast this fire spread during the extreme winds and dangerous fire weather. The Cherry Fire is one of several large wildfires that rapidly grew across central Utah today, forcing evacuations, closing roads, and sending thick smoke across much of the state. If you’re in or near an evacuation area, don’t wait. Leave when you’re told. Conditions can change in minutes. Thank you to the family for allowing me to share this incredible video. Stay safe, Utah. 🔥

Pretty incredible timelapse from Bountiful today as pyrocumulus clouds rapidly formed above the prescribed burn near Farmington Bay. 🔥☁️ These clouds develop when intense heat from a fire forces air to rise quickly into the atmosphere — almost like a fire creating its own weather. You can really see the atmosphere come alive in this video. 🎥 Todd McKinley

Parleys is a disaster right now! Thankful for snow tires. There are so many cars that should not be on the road right now. Shout out to UHP who is all over helping stranded and stuck people. #ParkCity #Interstate80

Wow — a pregnant mama moose spotted in Park City this morning 🫎 If you’re driving through the Sun Peak area, stay alert and give her plenty of space. Wildlife activity is picking up, and these encounters can happen quickly. Pretty incredible to see such a powerful, wild presence right in our backyard. 🎥: Barr Katherine

🚨 Wow. Take a look at the headwall of this debris flow racing off the Cottonwood Fire burn scar Thursday afternoon. This is exactly why burn scars become so dangerous during monsoon season. It doesn't take much rain to send a wall of mud, rocks, ash, and debris rushing downstream, creating life-threatening conditions in a matter of minutes. If you're hiking, camping, or traveling near burn scars this time of year, stay weather aware. Flash flooding can happen even if it's not raining where you are. #Monsoon #Utah #FlashFlood #CottonwoodFire #utwx

The Cottonwood Fire isn’t done impacting this community. Just a few days ago, we shared Dan’s story about Hoover’s River Resort in Piute County. Even though the resort has remained open throughout the entire Cottonwood Fire, it’s been hit with numerous cancellations because many people mistakenly believed it had closed. Now, another setback. Monsoon storms over the burn scar have sent a debris flow of mud, ash, rocks, and burned trees onto the resort’s property. It’s an important reminder that the dangers don’t end when the wildfire is contained. Burn scars can produce dangerous flash flooding and debris flows with very little rainfall, putting nearby homes, businesses, roads, and campgrounds at risk. 📹 Video courtesy of Dan Groves, Hoover’s River Resort.

🔥 Wildfire smoke plumes were easy to spot FROM SPACE today. Utah now has five active wildfires burning, with four more just across the border in Arizona, Nevada, and Idaho. Watch how these fires rapidly grew throughout the day in this satellite loop. 🔥

This video was sent to me from the Beaver River below the Cottonwood Fire burn scar. While the flooding itself isn’t too severe here, notice how black the water is. That’s ash, soot, sediment, and debris being washed off the burned landscape and into the river. It’s a good reminder that the impacts of a major wildfire don’t end when the flames are extinguished. Burn scars dramatically increase runoff because the scorched ground can’t absorb water as efficiently. Even a relatively brief thunderstorm can send muddy water, rocks, and debris racing downstream. With an active monsoon pattern expected over the next several days, the flood threat could increase not only around the Cottonwood Fire burn scar but across other recent wildfire burn scars in Utah as well. It doesn’t take a widespread rain event—just one slow-moving thunderstorm over the right location can trigger dangerous flash flooding. If you’re camping, hiking, or recreating near burn scars, keep a close eye on the forecast and be prepared to move to higher ground quickly if storms develop.

🌧️ A much-needed soaking for parts of the Wasatch Back this afternoon! Some communities, including Park City and Kamas, picked up between 0.25” and 1.00” of rain in a short amount of time as thunderstorms rolled through. While not everyone got in on the rain, these downpours are welcome news for our dry landscapes and ongoing wildfire concerns. 🎥 Take a look at this video from Francis, Utah, where the rain came down in a hurry!

Park City surprise at the end… 👀🫎🫎 A mama moose showed up in the neighborhood with her newborn calf… but keep watching. Turns out she had TWINS. Yes, TWINS. And they were born just yesterday. Unreal Utah moment right here. ❤️ Wildlife officials always remind people to keep their distance from moose moms this time of year. [credit: Kim Olsen]

DATA CENTERS & INDUSTRIAL GROWTH Utah continues to approve water-intensive data centers during a prolonged drought. I asked the governor: How do you justify that level of industrial water demand, and should water availability become a limiting factor for future development approvals?
