SALT LAKE CITY () — Good Morning, Utah! It's a soggy Good Friday with lingering showers and below-average temperatures.
A strong cold front knocked down temperatures, and we saw thunderstorms, showers, and Spring snow throughout the state.
Colder air is in place, and this morning, snow levels dropped all the way to 4,000 feet, which allowed for a few snowflakes to make it to the valley floor. Snow showers in valleys will be limited and there's a good chance it'll only be a sloppy wintry mix for many. We only expect to squeeze out an inch in valleys if we get any measurable snow at all.
Benches could get a bit more with up to two inches possible, mountain valleys could have 1-3 inches through Friday. We will see rain/snow showers lingering throughout the day, and we also have the chance to see some enhanced canyon winds with easterly flow this morning and into the afternoon along the Wasatch Front.
Our mountains continue to see snow accumulation with the Central and Southern Mountains under a Winter Weather Advisory. The first Advisory to go into effect will be for the Central Mountains holds on through 9 pm Friday, where 6-12 inches is possible. The Southern Mountains advisory will hold until midnight Friday night, 6-12 inches is in the forecast there as well, but the Tushars and Boulder Mountain area could get more than a foot.
The La Sal and Abajao Mountains in the Four Corners region also have a Winter Weather Advisory in effect through noon Saturday, where 6-12 inches is also expected. The Northern Mountains are not under an Advisory, but 4-8 inches is still possible with the Upper Cottonwoods getting up to 14 inches.
Daytime highs will be noticeably below average, only reaching the low 50s along the Wasatch Front and barely reaching 60 in St. George. Our northerly flow will aid in keeping cooler conditions for Good Friday, but a warming trend is ahead for the Easter weekend. Lingering moisture means there's a slight chance of a shower on Saturday, but not enough to ruin your backyard Easter egg hunts!
On Easter Sunday, it should be pleasant in both northern and southern Utah with highs in the upper 60s for the Wasatch Front and upper 70s for Washington County.
