Showers and thunderstorms will develop Friday, becoming most widespread this afternoon across northern and central Utah. A few storms may become severe, with large hail and damaging winds as main threats.
Warming temperatures will accelerate snowmelt at the mid and high elevations. This will lead to streams and rivers running high, fast and cold across the outlook area through the remainder of the spring. Monitor children and pets closely near these waterways.
