Thunderstorms roll into southern Utah, north has picture-perfect weather

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – Happy Thursday, Utah! It’ll be a gorgeous day for some and a little gloomy for others.

There will be a few thunderstorms in the south today while the north enjoys picture-perfect weather. A more unsettled pattern is lining up for this weekend.

A cold front swept the region yesterday and was responsible for the showers we saw, but it’s stalling over southern Utah which means more showers. Precipitation will be favored in southwest and south-central Utah, especially in higher terrain.

Places like Kanab, Cedar City, Hanksville, and Richfield have a decent shot at a few afternoon showers and thunderstorms, but the Four Corners region and St. George only have a slight chance.

Meanwhile, in the north, we’re looking at mostly sunny skies and warming temperatures. Temperatures will top out in the upper 60s to low 70s for valleys and upper 50s to low 60s for higher terrain. Southern and central Utah will run a bit cooler with highs in the low to mid-60s for most, but warm spots will climb into the 70s, flirting with 80 degrees in St. George. That puts temperatures right around where we’d expect to be this time of year statewide, give or take a few degrees. 

On Friday and Saturday, temperatures will climb well above average with highs in the mid to upper 70s for valleys, possibly 80 for Salt Lake City. Temperatures in the typical hot spots won’t have as steep of a climb but will still be warm with highs in the low to mid 80s.

Don’t let Saturday’s gorgeous weather fool you, because by Saturday evening we’re forecasted to see our first hints of rain as a much stronger storm approaches. A Pacific system will drag moisture across the Great Basin and into the Beehive State and then will take its sweet time exiting the region.

Sunday and Monday are slated to have the most unsettled weather for the entire state with scattered thunderstorms in the cards. Lingering moisture could spell showers as late as Tuesday, possibly even Wednesday for some.
