Higher temperatures expected following weak storm system this weekend
A weak storm system is grazing us to the north bringing the extra clouds and a few isolated mountain snow showers. We could see an isolated flurry or sprinkle pass through the valleys this afternoon, but most of us will likely remain on the dry side.
High pressure briefly builds back in over the state Friday, but clouds will be increasing throughout the day.
Our next weather maker arrives Friday night into Saturday bringing another round of precipitation for the northern half of Utah. Based on the latest thermal profile, it's looking like this will be a valley rain event and mountain snow event. Looks like between a .10″ -0.25 of liquid precipitation possible with this system for the valleys, with about 2-6″ of snow for the higher terrain. Overall, these storms will not pack the punch of our past few juicy storm systems.
After Saturday, we will dry out for our Sunday with the return of the sunshine. The sunshine really expands across the area next week. A strong ridge of high pressure builds in allowing for sinking air, and things to heat up in a big way. Southern Utah could be in the mid to upper 80s by the middle of next week, with low to mid-70s likely along the Wasatch Front.
We'll keep you posted on the latest information in our 4Warn Weather forecast both on-air and online, we are Good4Utah!

Scattered storms increase for Sunday afternoon
Scattered showers and storms increase through the day, maxing out in coverage this afternoon and evening. While severe weather is not expected, a few storms could bring heavy downpours, gusty winds, and cloud to ground lightning. Temperatures on Sunday will be near 90 and humidity will be high with a mix of clouds and sun. Storms dissipate shortly after sunset and the rest of the night looks mostly dry outside of a spot shower or two. For Monday, spot showers and storms are again possible with the focus for the majority of this activity across southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. A cold front stalls and wobbles over the region for much of the week which means we'll see storms on and off, especially in the afternoon hours when daytime heating is at its max. Highs each day will climb to near 90 and there will be plenty of dry time. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Heavy rain, lightning and gusty winds with afternoon storms
Download our KOLR 10 weather app 4:50PM RADAR UPDATE: Scattered storms have fired up north of Hwy. 60. Lightning and heavy rainfall are the main concerns. The heavier storms will likely produce gusty winds as well that may top 40 mph. The SPC does have Southern Missouri under a marginal risk for a severe storm or two with wind gusts that could approach 60 mph. This does not look like a repeat of last Sunday, but the gusty winds could dislodge branches broken by storms a week ago. These could come down, resulting in additional tree damage or possibly a power outage. Pockets of very heavy rainfall are likely as well. This could result in localized flooding or street flooding.
