Warm and windy weather into the weekend
SALT LAKE CITY () — Happy Friday, Utah! It's a warm and breezy Friday for the state as southerly winds are increasing ahead of weekend changes. For today, plan on partly to mostly cloudy skies in northern Utah with a stray mountain shower this afternoon and evening.
Southern Utah will see mostly sunny skies with elevated winds. Highs will reach the mid-70s for the Wasatch Front and the low-80s for St. George. Winds for today will be strongest for western Utah, especially west of I-15. Winds along the Wasatch Front will see gusts up to 20 mph, and 30-35 mph winds for the southern half of the state.
Winds stick around on Saturday, with gusts again reaching 30-35 mph across much of the area. Expect a mix of sunshine and high clouds throughout the day, with thicker cloud cover moving in by late afternoon ahead of our next system.
A slow-moving trough drops into the region on Sunday, and it's packing some cold air with it. That means we're looking at a mix of valley rain and mountain snow starting Sunday morning and continuing through the day. Things stay unsettled into Monday as wraparound moisture fuels more showers, especially for northern and central Utah.
More than 200 intersections to close for Salt Lake City Marathon this weekend
Snow levels will likely drop down to around 6,500 to 7,000 feet, so our mountain valleys will see a nice return of winterlike conditions. We'll likely see a break in the pattern for the majority of Tuesday; however, another system could clip the northern half of the state sometime late Tuesday into Wednesday.
Stay tuned. We'll keep you updated on the latest info in our 4Warn Weather forecast, both on-air and online, we are Good4Utah!

Trump approves disaster aid for Missouri April, May storm damage
*Above video: Volunteers and crews respond to storm damage across southwest Missouri JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — President Donald Trump has approved Governor Mike Kehoe's requests for federal disaster declarations for severe storms in Missouri in late April and early May. The approved major disaster declarations are specifically in response to the storms, tornadoes, and flooding that impacted the Show Me State on April 29 and May 16. In the southern part of the state, April 29 storms brought high winds and even a tornado, causing damage to structures and knocking out power for many. Now, with President Trump's approval, FEMA Public Assistance is available for Barry, Greene, Lawrence, McDonald, Newton, and Washington counties. Public Assistance helps qualifying nonprofits and local governments repair damaged infrastructure and reimburse debris removal costs. Kehoe's request for those storms included more than $16.5 million in Public Assistance qualifying expenses already identified through joint Preliminary Damage Assessments conducted with FEMA. FEMA Individual Assistance was not requested for these storms. In regard to the May 16 storms, Kehoe's May 25 request included more than $57.9 million in Public Assistance qualifying expenses already identified and at least $18.7 million in qualifying Individual Assistance needs already identified through joint Preliminary Damage Assessments conducted with FEMA, the governor's office said. Is this the tornado that hit St. Louis? FEMA's Individual Assistance is available for residents in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and Scott County impacted by the May 16 storms.

How can Kentuckians maximize their A/C unit during the summer months?
LANCASTER, Ky. (FOX 56) – As temperatures continue to climb, more and more people are cranking up their A/C units. Kentuckians have likely had the urge to crank up their air conditioning to the fullest to beat the heat. However, that could be the wrong mindset to have. Karen Hughes with ADA Heating & Air said there are some things to do before turning on the A/C unit for the first time for the summer. Doing a maintenance check will ensure the unit is actually ready to run. It's also advised to make sure the area around the unit is clean, which will prevent potential hiccups during the summer from things getting caught in the unit. UK police issue crime bulletin after burning car found behind Memorial Coliseum Louisville man accused of attempted rape, trying 'to do bad things' to minor Keeneland offers hands-on experience in horse industry to men in recovery 'Check the freon levels; you're going to want to make sure you stay cool,' Hughes explained. 'Make sure there's no leaks and that'll keep you running smoother. Also, one of the best things to do is to change your filter. Make sure your filter is not dirty. I've seen that happen; that can cause more damage than just about anything.' Hughes also said that in order to maximize the health of the A/C unit, don't put it on the coldest setting possible. Although it may seem tempting, the ideal range is about 70 to 72 degrees. The last thing anyone wants is for their A/C to break, especially during the summer. Hughes said there are some simple ways to save money when it comes to your system. Chief among them is checking all electrical outlets, making sure everything is plugged in correctly without having to call a specialist. Consumers will also want to make sure all the compressors are running and the evaporator coil is clean.

'If the unit has stopped working, just flip the breaker and see if that's the issue. A lot of times, that is, and it's an easy fix. An easy, free fix.' Hughes also said HVAC and A/C units need to be constantly maintained and that a good habit to get into to prevent overworking the system is to have someone check it every time you get your oil changed, or at least twice a year.
