URGENT WEATHER UPDATE: Utah is set to enjoy clearing skies and mild seasonal temperatures this weekend, providing the perfect opportunity for outdoor activities. As of Friday afternoon, October 13, 2023, a weak front is moving across northern Utah, bringing mostly cloudy conditions but minimal moisture. While a few spotty showers may occur in areas like Cache Valley and near the Bear River Range, the impact will be minimal.
In northern Utah, expect high temperatures between the 50s and 60s. Meanwhile, central and southern regions will bask in sunshine, with highs reaching into the mid 60s to mid 70s. This weekend promises to be an ideal fall-like getaway, perfect for raking leaves or visiting corn mazes.
As Saturday and Sunday approach, northern Utah will see high temperatures remain in the 50s, while southern Utah could warm into the low to mid 70s. Morning lows in the north are expected to drop to the 20s and 30s, while southern regions will experience lows in the low to mid 40s.
Looking ahead, a significant weather pattern is developing. A deep trough over central and eastern parts of the country will pave the way for a robust ridge building over the west, leading to increased high pressure and sunshine across Utah. This pattern is likely to persist through next week, bringing above-average temperatures and minimal cloud cover.
By the end of next week, forecasts indicate a potential shift as a trough develops to the west, possibly bringing a storm system to the region. This could usher in wetter and cooler conditions, marking a notable change from the current dry spell.
