Higher temperatures expected following weak storm system this weekend
SALT LAKE CITY () – Happy Thursday, Utah! The Spring Equinox occurred at 3:01 a.m. Thursday morning around Utah. We kicked the day off with lots of cloud cover and chilly temps, but a good bit warmer than where we began on our Wednesday morning.
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!

Memphis Pride Fest, Pride Parade canceled; postponed until 2026
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Mid-South Pride has announced that Memphis Pride Fest and the Mid-South Pride Parade have been canceled. In a social media post, the Foundation announced that the decision was made due to the 'risk of severe weather.' 'This decision wasn't made lightly, but the safety of our community comes first, always. While we won't be gathering as planned this weekend, the spirit behind this celebration is still very much alive,' they said in the post. They also announced that the Memphis Pride Parade has been postponed until 2026. Fun events happening in Memphis this weekend 'Why? Because your safety always comes first. Due to today's weather and conditions along the parade route, continuing with the parade just wouldn't be safe for attendees, performers, and volunteers,' they said in the social media post. The Foundation said that despite the setback, they are 'thinking ahead and exploring ways to reconnect soon.' They also advised people to keep up with their social channels for updates and next steps. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
