URGENT WEATHER UPDATE: Utah is set for a weekend of clear skies and seasonal temperatures, offering a perfect opportunity for outdoor activities. As of this afternoon, Friday, October 13, 2023, northern Utah is experiencing mostly cloudy conditions due to a weak front passing through the area. While significant moisture is not expected, a few spotty showers are possible in areas like Cache Valley and near the Bear River Range.
Temperatures are currently ranging from the 50s to near 60°F across northern Utah. In contrast, central and southern regions are looking at abundant sunshine, with highs climbing into the mid 60s to mid 70s. This weekend promises a delightful fall atmosphere, perfect for raking leaves or visiting local corn mazes.
Looking ahead to Saturday and Sunday, northern Utah will maintain mild temperatures in the 50s, while southern areas can expect highs in the low to mid 70s. Morning temperatures will dip into the 20s and 30s in the north, with southern regions seeing overnight lows in the low to mid 40s.
Authorities predict a significant weather shift early next week, as a deep trough develops over central and eastern parts of the country. This will lead to a strong ridge of high pressure building over Utah, resulting in more sunshine and a rise in temperatures above average. This favorable weather pattern is expected to persist for the entirety of next week, with only a few clouds interrupting the clear skies.
As we approach the end of next week, forecasters are monitoring a potential shift with a storm system expected to track into the western half of the country. This could bring wetter and cooler conditions back to the region.
