Temperatures drop back to seasonal norms to close the work week
SALT LAKE CITY () – Happy Friday, Utah! We've had an unseasonably warm work week with above-average daytime highs and dry skies, but we are closing it out with highs around average thanks to a passing cold front overnight.
The bottom line? Valley rain/mountain snow and much cooler temperatures are on deck for parts of the weekend and into next week.
While moisture was limited with the front, the temperature dip was not, so expect a much cooler day with highs dropping 15-20 degrees from what we've grown accustomed to over the last couple of days. Daytime highs will bottom out in the mid-50s to low 60s for valleys, upper 60s to low 70s for warm spots down south, and low 50s for higher terrain.
More cloud cover will be noticeable and although skies are gray, precipitation will be limited to a few light showers in the Cache and Ogden Valleys in the morning, and light isolated showers in the late afternoon and evening for eastern Utah. What little precipitation we do see will be mostly rain, but mountain valleys could see snow as snow levels drop to 6,500 feet on Friday night.
More wet weather is on deck to start the weekend! On Saturday morning a more moisture-rich system will move into the state bringing scattered showers. Northern and central Utah will be favored, but showers could easily be seen as far south as Cedar City.
Snow levels will drop to about 5,500 feet which means that valleys will see straight rain, snow in mountain valleys, and a mix of both on the upper benches. Mountain snow totals will be modest, about three to eight inches will be possible through Saturday, but we'll continue fine-tuning those numbers as we draw nearer.
We get a brief break on Sunday with a mix of sun and clouds, so it's not a bad day to get some final runs in before the ski resorts are closed for the season.
Wet weather potential increases again on Monday and things could stay soggy for a large chunk of the workweek. We even have the chance for Springtime snow in our valleys by midweek, but that's still a ways off – one storm at a time!
We'll keep you posted on the latest updates 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.
