A Dry Weekend

It's a rarity here in the Great Salt Lake rainforest, but it looks like we have a dry spell settling in that will last through the weekend.  

The trough that brought us rain over the past few days is exiting the area today.  On Saturday, a low-amplitude upper-level ridge looks to be moving in, with no monsoon moisture or Pacific storms to be found in our area.  

There is a brush-by system that flirts with northern Utah late Sunday but right now the precipitation from that looks not push into Utah through 0000 UTC 20 Oct (1800 MDT Sunday).

That system could bring a bit of precipitation to northern Utah, mainly in the mountains, on Sunday night. For Alta Collins, for example, a bit over half of the Utah Snow Ensemble members produce no precipitation Sunday night, but a fee give us some light amounts Sunday Night, with a couple doing a bit better than that. 

That's the main threat for precipitation over the next few days if you are hoping to add to aour already record-breaking October totals.  The next major system that could flirt with us comes in around October 26th.
