Unsettled weather persists in Utah, cool temperatures expected

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – Happy Wednesday, Utah! Unsettled weather sticks around for a large portion of the state today into Thursday. Temperatures stay fairly cool for the most part, but they won’t be too bad. 

Active skies hold on today as wrap-around moisture from the exiting system keeps showers locked in for a portion of the state. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected today for northern and eastern Utah while the southwest parts of the state see a mix of sun and clouds after a few morning showers roll through.

Yesterday we saw temperatures plummet by 30°+ in a single day, and those below-average temperatures hold on into today. Daytime highs will be within a few degrees of Tuesday’s highs for most, except for eastern Utah where temperatures will fall back down to match the rest of the state. That translates to highs in the mid to upper 50s for the Wasatch Front, low 60s in southern valleys, and upper 60s to mid-70s for the warm spots.

On Thursday the wet weather potential tapers off, but daytime heating could tap into lingering moisture bringing a few more isolated showers to northern and eastern Utah, but otherwise partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will also start warming up Thursday, but it’ll be a slow warmup with highs still in the low to mid-60s for most, and upper 70s to low 80s for the typically warmer locations.

Friday will be a few degrees warmer, but still in the 60s up north while southern valleys reach the low 70s and hot spots climb into the 80s. There will be enough moisture for mostly cloudy skies across the region, but not enough for much precipitation. While Friday looks calm overall, a few high-terrain showers could pop up in the afternoon and we can’t rule out a light shower in northern valleys.

More unsettled weather moves in this weekend! Saturday will start off as the warmest day, but a cold front moves through toward the evening hours bringing showers and thunderstorms late Saturday afternoon through Monday. The heaviest and most widespread precipitation will be on Sunday when it’s forecasted to impact the entire state from Logan to St. George.
