Sunshine and warmer conditions return to the Beehive State

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – Happy Wednesday, Utah! Our Wednesday afternoon will feature mostly sunny skies across the Beehive State. A little residual moisture will allow for a slight chance for an isolated shower or two, but most of the region will begin to dry out in a big way. High temperatures will climb into the lower 70s across the Wasatch Front, with highs in the upper 70s for SW Utah.

A high-pressure ridge will expand across the region Thursday into the weekend, leading to plenty of sunshine and a big warm-up with our temperatures. Daytime highs are expected to climb into the upper 70s for the Wasatch Front on Thursday, and mid-80s for SW Utah.

But wait, it gets even warmer as we move into the weekend. High temperatures along the Wasatch Front will be in the 80s this weekend, with afternoon highs across SW Utah warming into the mid-90s!

We should remain mostly dry during this period, but a few pop-up daytime heating showers will be possible for northern Utah during this time.

Our next weather maker looks to arrive next week, bringing more active skies and cooler conditions by next Tuesday.
