Unsettled. An upper-level disturbance. And worse — it has begun to "drift slowly across the region" as the new work week gets underway.
Relax. That's not a diagnosis for anxiety-apathy disorder, unless you basically see psychosis as a metaphor for Utah's weather.
The National Weather Service says those "unsettled" conditions ruled the forecast for both Monday and Tuesday. While the Salt Lake and Tooele valleys looked for partly cloudy skies and highs in the upper-80s to low-90s, central and southern Utah expected more active storm clouds, bringing thunder, lightning and rain showers.
Utah's Dixie could see isolated, heavy rainfall at times — enough to produce some flash flooding — as high temperatures in the low- to mid-90s, but along with the rest of the state looked for clear, sunny skies come Wednesday.
The Utah Division of Air Quality offered a mixed bag of air quality grades through Tuesday. Generally, the urban valleys of Salt Lake, Weber, Davis and Utah counties were rated "yellow," or compromised for particulate pollution levels, with the remainder of the state in the "green," or healthy category.
The Intermountain Allergy & Asthma website reported Monday that chenopods and mold were "high" and sagebrush "low" on its pollen index.
