Increasing clouds for southern Utah, with mostly sunny skies for northern Utah. Rain chances arrive Friday, Saturday

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Happy Thursday, Utah! High pressure is in place today, bringing sunshine and warm temperatures for the northern portions of the state. Highs will be in the 80s for most of north and central Utah on Wednesday. Meanwhile, southern Utah will see clouds on the increase as moisture works up from the south. Highs in Lower Washington County will be in the mid-90s.

Remnant tropical moisture will be working into the southwest over the next few days. This moisture will start moving near the Beehive state throughout our Thursday evening. Looks like the best chance of rain will remain just to our south, but clouds will be on the increase across parts of SW Utah Thursday evening.

This moisture will continue to build north, leading to a good chance for scattered showers & thunderstorms for SW Utah starting Friday, and moving into northern Utah by Friday night into Saturday.

A slightly higher chance for isolated showers and storms will be possible statewide over the upcoming weekend. Again, not expecting a washout or major rain event during this time.

High temperatures will warm back into the low to mid 80s over the next few days for the Wasatch Front, with highs going from the mid 90s to the upper 80s as we move into the weekend.
