Construction starts on the sports, entertainment, culture and convention district next year. We want a strong LOCAL vibe in addition to iconic brands. Take the survey and let us know what local restaurants and shops you want to see in the District. qualtrics.teamseg.com/jfe/fo…

Tropical moisture will interact with a strong PNW system to bring widespread rain (snow >9,000 feet) to Utah and southwest Wyoming late Saturday through at least Tuesday. This will bring a heightened threat of flash flooding to at least central and southern Utah. #utwx #wywx

Up at Deer Valley this afternoon for the “ribbon cutting” of the new Anchor Trees trail, a relatively short hiking only trail (1.3 miles) near Montage but it also connects to all the hiking trails near Empire Canyon and Bloods Lake, making it a key connector for a busy area

"It was really, truly strange." Utah's 2026 water year ended last week. Statewide mountain precip throughout the year was 96% of normal, but experts point out that nothing else about the year was normal... leaving many questions for 2027 #utwx: ksl.com/article/51632628/uta…

Utah's 'truly strange' 2026 water year has ended. What happens next?

Utah's mountain precipitation was surprisingly close to normal throughout the 2026 water year, but nothing felt normal about it.

Those with outdoor plans this weekend should keep a close eye on the forecast. A PNW storm system is expected to cross the area late Saturday into early next week, and there's increasing confidence that it will tap into tropical moisture, bringing widespread precipitation. #utwx

Know before you fly! There have been 82 reported drone incursions in 2026. When a drone flies near a wildfire, firefighting aircraft may be forced to shut down operations, delaying suppression efforts and disrupting aviation support for firefighters on the ground.
