Title: Afternoon forecast for October 9, 2026
Runtime: 3:55
Date posted: 1 month ago
Description: Today will be comprised of partly cloudy skies, maybe even mostly cloudy at times, with a couple of mountain showers possible. Breezy winds pick up tomorrow with some scattered showers in the morning and evening, the afternoon has lower chances for rainfall. Tropical remnants of Rachel will interact with a low pressure system in Nevada Sunday and Monday - the exact track of Rachel will determine where the heaviest rain threat will be. Right now models have been oscillating back and forth between a more westerly track and a more easterly track. Even though the uncertainty in the track, we can still county on a heavy rain threat and maybe even a severe weather threat on the eastern flank of Rachels core circulation. The low pressure system to the west will keep rain chances in play through Wednesday with cooler air dropping snow levels to mid-mountain on Tuesday & Wednesday. Rainfall totals in general: valleys 1-2" and mountains 2-4".

Members of Shivwits Band of Paiute protest golf course on native land during PGA Tour

Title: Members of Shivwits Band of Paiute protest golf course on native land during PGA Tour
Runtime: 1:33
Date posted: 1 month ago
Description: Members of the Shivwits Band of Paiute Native American Tribe raised concerns about a proposed development on tribal land.

The protest was held in front of the Black Desert Resort in Ivins during the PGA Tour Bank of Utah Championship last weekend. Shivwits Band member Mary Snow said this was done to "gain the most national spotlight."

"I feel like the PGA tournament was where the most national spotlight would be," Snow said. "But if we do it again next week, we do it again next week. This is just a start until I get a vote.

The resort is part of a land lease agreement between the band and Reef Capital Partners, which is the primary developer and owner of Black Desert Resort. In October of 2025, Black Desert announced the 99-year lease agreement, which has since decreased to 75 years, according to band members. The agreement came with plans to build a resort on roughly 1,250 acres of reservation land.

Rain showers will likely stick around Monday, potentially Tuesday. By Wednesday the core of low pressure to our west will finally cross over Utah, this will produce more rain chances and lower snow levels.

Runtime: 17:57
Date posted: 1 month ago
Description: Should Utahns pay more for their water to pay for future projects? It sounds pretty normal, right? The issue deals with a lack of transparency on revenue -- how much money do water districts already have? The Utah Rivers Council says the state is asking for Utahns to pay more money for their water without fully justifying why they need it or why they can't use existing revenue for it. The non-profit contacted KSL, who dug into the request and the process behind it. For more on this, we turn to KSL Investigator Daniella Rivera.

Description: Has there been a greater push for free speech on college campuses around the U.S.? And if so, has it resulted in more openness and more public debate?

New data from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) says "cancel culture" is still alive and well, and it's causing many students to hold back on giving their true opinions. But the report also found that students are still talking -- even with a bit of fear.

For more on this, Holly Richardson and guest host Rusty Cannon spoke with Deseret News contributor and professor of politics at Sarah Lawrence College, Dr. Sam Abrams.

Description: For much of his second term in office, Governor Spencer Cox has been pushing for a pro-human approach to artificial intelligence. Last year, he announced a new initiative that would promote a balance between AI and humans; now, he's pushing that initiative to the next level. Yesterday, he signed an order that will add AI literacy training for state employees. The order also addresses how the state plans to use AI in healthcare. For more on that, the hosts turn to Tracy Gruber, Commissioner of the Utah Department of Health and Human Services.

Study behind proposed water cost increases didn't examine existing revenue

Title: Study behind proposed water cost increases didn't examine existing revenue
Runtime: 4:56
Date posted: 1 month ago
Description: Water is one of Utah's most basic needs and one of the biggest concerns. And, seemingly, like everything else, it could get more expensive.

During the 2026 legislative session, lawmakers considered a measure that would pressure water and sewer suppliers to increase rates if they want to receive taxpayer funds from the state to help pay for future water infrastructure projects.

HB501 suggests water providers should be collecting revenue equivalent to 1.5% of their service area's median household income for drinking water service, or 3% for bills that include both drinking water and wastewater service.

Title: Morning weather forecast for October 8, 2026
Runtime: 3:08
Date posted: 1 month ago
Description: August-like weather will hold through Friday with highs in the 80s and dry skies in the valleys. A significant pattern change will begin to take place on Saturday as breezy winds pick up and a couple of showers will pop up. Post-tropical depression Rachel will be drawn up through the Baja of California and phase with an Alaskan low pressure system Sunday into Monday. In Utah this is a set-up that will bring widespread moderate to heavy rain across portions of Utah, the flash flood threat for central and southern Utah continues to increase for Sunday. Rain showers will likely stick around Monday, potentially Tuesday. By Wednesday the core of low pressure to our west will finally cross over Utah, this will produce more rain chances and lower snow levels. Matt Johnson – KSL Weather 10.8.26

Title: Evening forecast for Oct. 7, 2026
Runtime: 3:33
Date posted: 1 month ago
Description: Beautiful, sunny weather will continue for the next few days statewide, with highs in the 80s along the Wasatch Front. The KSL Weather Team is tracking a significant pattern change that will occur beginning Saturday afternoon. A cold low-pressure system will drop in from the Gulf of Alaska and dive south into Nevada and California. This storm system will draw in remnant moisture from Hurricane Rachel in the eastern Pacific and then pump it into Utah. This will bring thunderstorms, heavy rain, and the chance for flooding in southern Utah on Sunday, Monday, and into Tuesday. Northern Utah will see on-and-off rain starting Saturday night and lasting into Wednesday. Stay with KSL as we track this storm and refine the forecast details. Kevin Eubank - KSL Weather 10.7.26
