Isolated snow showers reach southern Utah with passing showers up north
The north warms a few degrees with highs topping out in the upper 40s to low 50s, but southern Utah will be similar to yesterday with highs in the upper 30s to mid 40s, and upper 50s for the St. George area. Southern Utah's low-pressure system is exiting to the east, but wrap-around moisture will keep showers socked in.
A few light rain/snow and graupel showers will be possible in northern valleys with a few snow showers in the northern mountains, but most of the moisture will be focused in southern and eastern Utah.
The bottom line? More rain and snow showers today, especially in southern Utah. The weather pattern shifts back to warm and dry by the weekend.
The day starts off with showers limited to southern and eastern parts of the state, but as we get energy from daytime heating in the afternoon, showers and even a few thunderstorms will pop up in western valleys from the Wasatch Front down to St. George. Northern valleys will see a mix of rain and snow showers while mountain valleys see straight snow, but accumulation will only be 1-3 inches in mountains and only up to a trace on most valley floors.
Southern Utah is a different story, valleys down to 4,000 feet, like Cedar City, should see snow showers and could get an inch or two, and some bands of snow could get quite heavy at times. The Southern Mountains and La Sal/Abajo Mountains are under a Winter Weather Advisory until 9 pm tonight. When all is said and done the La Sal/Abajo Mountains could get 4-8 inches of snow while the Southern Mountains get 6-12 inches, and locally higher amounts around Brian Head.
By Friday our pattern begins to change to more Spring-like weather for the most part with temperatures climbing into the 50s for valleys and 60s for warmer spots down south. Lingering moisture could spell some final snow showers in the mountains and bring a chance for rain showers in valleys, but nothing too impactful.
By the weekend, temperatures finally return to normal for this time of year with upper 50s to low 60s on deck and 70s for warm spots with wide blue skies. Temperatures continue to rise into the middle of next week, bumping temperatures up into the mid and upper 60s, possibly even 80s for lower Washington County.
Just another day or two of showers before the clouds split making for a gorgeous picture-perfect weekend. We'll keep you posted on the latest updates in our 4Warn Weather forecast both on-air and online, we are Good4Utah!
