Utah, get ready for a little bit of everything this week! Warmer weather will settle in by midweek, giving us a nice break from the winter chill, but don’t pack away your jackets just yet—rain and snow are expected to return by the weekend.
Here’s What to Expect
- Milder Midweek: Temperatures will climb into the upper 40s and low 50s on Wednesday and Thursday. It’ll feel a little more like spring for a couple of days, so enjoy it while it lasts!
- Weekend Rain and Snow: A storm system will arrive Friday night, bringing rain to lower elevations and snow to the mountains through Saturday.
- Cooler Weekend Temps: Highs will drop back into the 30s and 40s over the weekend, with freezing temperatures returning at night.
What to Watch For
- Rain and Snow Mix: Areas like Salt Lake City could see a mix of rain and snow, especially late Friday into Saturday morning.
- Mountain Snow: If you’re heading into the mountains, expect fresh snowfall and slick roads in the canyons. Plan ahead if you’re traveling!
- Cold Nights: Even during the midweek warm-up, overnight lows will still dip near or below freezing, so watch out for icy spots in the mornings.
How to Prepare
- Enjoy the Midweek Warmth: Take advantage of the sunny and mild weather midweek—perfect for outdoor activities or wrapping up errands.
- Plan for Snowy Travel: If you’ll be driving in the mountains this weekend, make sure your car is ready with snow tires or chains.
- Keep an Eye on the Forecast: With rain and snow moving in, stay tuned for updates to know what conditions to expect in your area.
Looking Ahead
After the weekend storm passes, next week looks colder and dry, with highs in the 30s and lows dropping into the teens and 20s. Winter isn’t going anywhere just yet!
