Nicks McNuggets

I stole this from Johnny Stew's Facebook page. What are the odds of using an obscure Street Angel song to reference rain when "thunder only happens when it's raining" is ingrained in the minds of virtually everyone in America?

Singing about Utah's warm, wet and thunderous midweek forecast, Stevie Nicks might huskily tempt you to "open up the window ... throw away the pain [and] take time, baby, to listen to the rain."

Along the Wasatch Front, Wednesday's forecast called for highs near 90 degrees will be broken in the afternoon and evening by showers and occasional cracks of electricity. Thursday's weather will again seek highs near 90, with another cycle of thunderstorms expected during the afternoon hours.

Southern Utahns get a break from the rain and thunderclaps, though. Breezes of 10-20 mph will cool off Redrocks denizens from the mid-90s as the end of this Pioneer Day-shortened work week approaches. Why not find some shade, a cool drink and enjoy the "Desert Wind" via the instrumental poetry of French bluesman Scott Bis.

The Utah Division of Air Quality rated Salt Lake, Davis, Weber and Utah counties "yellow," or compromised for air quality heading toward the weekend, but the rest of the state earns "green," or healthy grades.

The Intermountain Allergy & Asthma website reported that chenopods were "high" and mold "moderate" on its pollen index, but other allergens were listed "low" as of Wednesday.
