Comfortable spring-like weather for Utah midweek
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – Happy Wednesday, Utah! For the most part, it’s going to be another really nice spring day across the Beehive State.
The bottom line? While today will be a little cooler, we will keep the above-average warmth with a chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms East of I-15 today.
Most of the day will be spent under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies with daytime highs that run a little above average. In northern Utah, we’ll still see a mix of 60s and 70s while southern Utah gets 70s and 80s outside of the high country. St. George will be back in the low 90s this afternoon.
Another weak system will brush by Utah as we move into the midweek today. Wednesday keeps a slight chance of showers or storms in the forecast and mainly targets areas east of I-15 all the way down to South Central Utah. Like the beginning of the work week, that best chance will continue to be over the mountains.
Outside of any showers, skies will continue to be mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Showers and storms will generally favor the high terrain but will be possible lower as well. Timing-wise, storms will most likely be during the afternoon and early evening hours before any storms fade tonight. If storms briefly become strong or marginally severe, strong winds, small hail, and frequent lightning will be the main threats.
As we head towards the close of the work week, high-pressure returns with sunshine and above-average highs. Ample sunshine and warming temperatures will once take over. Daytime highs will reach the upper 70s for northern Utah, possibly 80 degrees or above for Salt Lake on Friday.
The warmth will likely stick around into this weekend; however, we could become a little unsettled once again this time next week. Temperatures will likely run a little closer to the seasonal norm with a daily chance of showers and storms.
