Clear day to start the second half of the weekend. An upper-level ridge still remains over Utah, aiding in another dry and relatively warm day across the state. May be the last day that is this warm this year. Typically, temps really start ratcheting down m as daylight hours shorten quickly.
A trough and cold front are currently progressing from PNW into the interior, which will flatten the ridge through Sunday but increase mild southerly flow across Utah. Temps will top out in the 60s and 70s in valley areas across the state, with breezy winds out of the south this afternoon.
The trough is forecasted to move eastward Sunday into Monday morning, but will largely skirt north of Utah. The cold front and a bit of moisture will graze the northern third of the state overnight, bringing cooler air and the opportunity for a few showers across the northern valleys and mountains in the early morning hours. Snow levels look to be around 7500-8000’, but most of the moisture will have moved on before the coolest temps arrive. Potential for 1-3” in the higher elevations of the Wasatch. This is a quick moving system, so not expecting much in terms of liquid or impacts.
A ridge quickly reestablishes itself late Monday into Tuesday. Temps rebound some and conditions look to be dry. Not much excitement through the remainder of the workweek. Just keeping an eye on a mid week disturbance across the southern half of the state, but not too much expected out of that. Hints of a more significant storm for this next weekend. However, still out too far out to talk about with any sort of confidence…
