Mostly sunny, chilly, and dry Wednesday afternoon across the Beehive State
SALT LAKE CITY () – Happy Wednesday Utah! It was a cold start to the day with many areas down into the teens and 20s. This afternoon features a good mix of sunshine and just a few clouds.
Highs will remain below average today, only in the 40s north, and 50s across the south. Tonight we will see clouds begin to increase once again across the area. Overnight lows will dip down into the 30s.
The spring equinox occurs on our Thursday and right now, the weather is looking very spring-like across southern Utah, with slightly below normal temps across northern Utah.
A weak storm storm system will graze us well to our north, but will try to squeeze out a few passing snow showers during the day. Temperatures will mainly be above freezing and moisture looks very limited but don't be surprised to see a few flakes in the air.
Another grazing system moves through Friday night into Saturday bringing a chance for a few scattered rain showers, but overall precip amounts look very meager at this point.
After the Saturday system moves through, it's all up from there! A large ridge of high pressure will build into the region, bringing us much drier conditions and well-above average temperatures. As we move into next week, daytime highs will be in the 70s for the Wasatch Front, and 80s for SW Utah. This pattern looks to stick around right into the start of April.

Vog to move up island chain due to E/SE winds
HONOLULU (KHON2) – A rather stable, light to moderate trade wind flow remains in place this afternoon. A surface trough lies between Hawaii and somewhat strong high pressure farther north, causing the local pressure gradient and resulting trade winds to weaker than usual, and a mid-level ridge sitting over the islands is maintaining stable conditions with an inversion based near 7,000 ft. A narrow slot of reduced moisture is producing minimal rainfall along windward areas this afternoon, and aside from scattered showers over the Kona slopes of the Big Island and Ulupalakua area of Upcountry Maui, leeward areas are dry. Shower activity over leeward Maui will dissipate quickly around sundown and will diminish overnight on the Big Island. Shower activity over windward areas will remain light, with the exception of a possible uptick near Kauai and Oahu near sunrise. Subtle changes are expected Monday and Tuesday. A surface trough will develop roughly 600 miles northwest of Kauai and cause local trade winds to veer out of the east to east-southeast, possibly causing afternoon leeward sea breezes to be more extensive on Kauai and Oahu. The inversion will weaken over these islands as well, suggesting higher chances for afternoon showers over leeward terrain. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
