It's pretty slow in the weather department these days. As is often the case in July, the storm track is well to the north and the GFS forecast for the next 10 days (below) shows just some gasps monsoon moisture to give us some afternoon clouds and maybe some showers or t-storms from time to time.
Perhaps one of those monsoon surgest can be a bit more potent. There's one near the end of the forecast period that runs through western Colorado and Eastern Utah. Maybe it will pay a visit. That said, this looks about as July-like as July gets.
A colleague commented that it seems like it has been pretty dry. Since mid May , there have been four days with measurable rain at the Salt Lake Airport: May 15 (0.21"), May 18 (0.73"), June 22 (0.16"), and July 4 (0.16"). If we were to make it to July 20 without any more precipitation, the 2-month period from May 20 to July 20 would be the 8th driest on record (the lowest such period for precip is 0.05" in 1889). We'll see though if that pans out though.
