Pleasant temperatures with scattered afternoon showers, storms south of I-80 Friday afternoon

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Happy Friday, Utah! Active weather conditions continue for areas of south & central Utah Friday afternoon, with scattered showers and storms developing once again.

Northern areas will see a few more clouds, with a spotty downpour chance. The flood threat returns for areas south of I-70, especially near the dry washes and slot canyons. Highs will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s for the Wasatch Front, with highs in the 80s to lower 90s for SW Utah.

A big ridge of high pressure will begin to build back across Utah later this week. This will usher in drier air and much warmer weather once again across the Beehive State, just in time for the upcoming weekend.

Saturday will feature mostly sunny skies with highs in the upper 80s for the Wasatch Front and upper 90s for SW Utah. Look for highs to approach the triple digits for southern Utah on Sunday afternoon. Highs will be in the low to mid-90s for the Wasatch Front.

We will stay on the very warm side through most of next week with highs rising in the 90s and 100s.

Stay tuned, we’ll keep you 4Warned on-air and online!
