The Weather Outlook: Essentially a ridge of high pressure has maintained control of the west, shunting storms well to the north; whereas a few storms lucky enough to squeak through have generally weakened and dived to the south. In the video below of the GFS weather model out a week to 10 days, you'll see one such storm head toward us and then dramatically dive south and west. There are "hints" that the weather pattern may become more progressive around next Friday the 11th. For those unaccustomed to looking at weather maps, look for Utah on the map and associate the pretty colors with storms or unsettled weather. (Apologies to the atmospheric scientists out there.) Note that the loop runs twice on the video.
