Thunderstorms swept along the Wasatch Front Saturday, bringing lightning, sporadic puddles and rushing water in places.

"A lot of these (storms) produced some very intense rainfall," said Mike Conger, with the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City.

From 1/4 inch to nearly 1 inch of rain fell in communities in northern Utah, sweeping through in large bursts. "It did result in some minor street flooding and ponding of the water in some of the flat areas," Conger said.

In addition to water collecting in the Salt Lake City area, Orem and Spanish Fork saw quick precipitation, Conger said. There were no reports of substantial flooding, he said, but cautioned smaller creeks could swell to flood levels in coming

"We've just had a rather cool, moist air mass over much of Utah through the first half of this month," he said. "Unheard of? No. But the duration is getting to be a bit extreme."

Conger predicted a mix of overcast and rain for today, with a gradual decrease in precipitation as the week progresses.

Typical June weather, with lows in the 80-degree range in Northern Utah and in the 90s in southern Utah, should return by the weekend, he said.
