Your Weather News @ September 2026 Edition

I got lucky, weather-wise, transiting your part of the country. Drove through after the extreme heat and before the extreme wet. But traffic-wise, driving through the SLC area is one of my least favorite places. I routinely go East at Spanish Fork up the canyon to 89 and south to Kanab. Much more relaxed and enjoyable. And I do enjoy the small towns along that route. There was a lot of flooding debris and evidence alongside of the road in many areas. Very glad I was not there for that event!

I like that route too. Highway 89 is notorious for mudslides as can be seen from the remains of the Town of Thistle which is buried to the rooftops. When Thistle was buried I think it took out the rail road too, for quite a long time.

Anything to not use I-15. I wish there was a better way across southern Utah from West to East than I-70.
