Isolated snow showers reach southern Utah with passing showers up north
SALT LAKE CITY () – Happy Wednesday, Utah! It's a case of rinse and repeat today with temperatures still about 10 to 15 degrees below average and rain and snow showers. The north warms a few degrees with highs topping out in the upper 40s to low 50s, but southern Utah will be similar to yesterday with highs in the upper 30s to mid 40s, and upper 50s for the St. George area. Southern Utah's low-pressure system is exiting to the east, but wrap-around moisture will keep showers socked in. A few light rain/snow and graupel showers will be possible in northern valleys with a few snow showers in the northern mountains, but most of the moisture will be focused in southern and eastern Utah. The bottom line? More rain and snow showers today, especially in southern Utah. The weather pattern shifts back to warm and dry by the weekend. The day starts off with showers limited to southern and eastern parts of the state, but as we get energy from daytime heating in the afternoon, showers and even a few thunderstorms will pop up in western valleys from the Wasatch Front down to St. George. Northern valleys will see a mix of rain and snow showers while mountain valleys see straight snow, but accumulation will only be 1-3 inches in mountains and only up to a trace on most valley floors. Southern Utah is a different story, valleys down to 4,000 feet, like Cedar City, should see snow showers and could get an inch or two, and some bands of snow could get quite heavy at times. The Southern Mountains and La Sal/Abajo Mountains are under a Winter Weather Advisory until 9 pm tonight. When all is said and done the La Sal/Abajo Mountains could get 4-8 inches of snow while the Southern Mountains get 6-12 inches, and locally higher amounts around Brian Head. By Friday our pattern begins to change to more Spring-like weather for the most part with temperatures climbing into the 50s for valleys and 60s for warmer spots down south. Lingering moisture could spell some final snow showers in the mountains and bring a chance for rain showers in valleys, but nothing too impactful. By the weekend, temperatures finally return to normal for this time of year with upper 50s to low 60s on deck and 70s for warm spots with wide blue skies. Temperatures continue to rise into the middle of next week, bumping temperatures up into the mid and upper 60s, possibly even 80s for lower Washington County. Just another day or two of showers before the clouds split making for a gorgeous picture-perfect weekend.

Cool, soggy weather sticks around in Utah before a warming trend
SALT LAKE CITY () – Happy Wednesday, Utah! Cool wet weather isn't finished with us yet, but it is starting to back off. A low pressure system will race through southern Utah today bringing scattered rain and snow showers to central and southern Utah. The bottom line? Cool soggy weather sticks around for the next couple days, but a much warmer and dryer pattern will set up by this weekend! Snow levels will remain around 4,300 feet, meaning most valleys will see snow, but warmer spots like St. George and Lake Powell will have straight rain. Northern Utah has a mix of sun and clouds in store, but could also see a few isolated showers for today, but not as much as what we got on Monday or Tuesday. Daytime highs won't change much, so temperatures will again top out in the mid to upper 40s for valleys, 30s to low 40s for higher terrain, and mid to upper 50s for the warm spots like St. George or Green River. The cool wet pattern sticks around into Thursday, but snow levels will be a bit higher, so valleys will see periods of isolated rain/snow showers while mountains and mountain valleys should be cold enough for straight snow. There won't be as much moisture to work with, so precipitation will be even lighter. Mountains may see an additional two to four inches through Thursday while valleys will struggle to even get an inch. By Friday, our pattern begins to change to more Spring-like weather with partly cloudy skies. Lingering moisture could spell some final snow showers in the mountains and bring a slight chance for rain showers in valleys, but nothing too impactful. By the weekend temperatures finally return to normal for this time of year with upper 50s to low 60s on deck, and 70s for warm spots with clear skies. Temperatures continue to rise into the middle of next week, bumping temperatures up into the mid and upper 60s, possibly even 80s for lower Washington County. Just a few more days of cooler gloomier weather before the clouds split making for a gorgeous picture-perfect weekend.

Summer-like daytime highs challenge seasonal records across Utah
SALT LAKE CITY () — Happy Wednesday, Utah! We hope you enjoyed yesterday's abnormally warm weather because today brings even more heat to the Beehive State! Today's daytime highs will run about 15 to 25 degrees above average, which means valleys will have temperatures climb into the upper 70s and possibly 80s for some, while St. George flirts with a high of 90 degrees. If we hit these figures, they won't just be daily record highs, they'll be the earliest dates we've seen these numbers by far – usually, we don't see 80s and 90s until the first week of May, so we're way ahead of schedule! The earliest Salt Lake has ever hit the 80s was March 31, 2012 and the earliest date St. George hit the 90s was April 2, 1966. The bottom line? Record-breaking heat is possible today and tomorrow, but the warm dry pattern flips upside down by Friday. A bit of moisture will hitch a ride on the warm southerly flow which could spell a couple of light showers in higher terrain, but probably nothing that would warrant an umbrella. Apart from that, we're dealing with wide blue skies in the north and a mix of sun and clouds in the south. A high-pressure ridge is responsible for the warm calm weather, and as it slides to the east it opens up the door for gusty southerly winds on Thursday. Winds out of the south are notorious for dragging the warm air from the Desert Southwest across the state and into the north, and it'll certainly be warm! Southern Utah will cool off slightly, but only by a few degrees, meanwhile northern Utah will have another record-challenging day with highs in the upper 70s and low 80s yet again. Southerly winds will be fairly strong on Thursday ahead of an incoming cold front. The cold front passes on Friday and we'll see a significant drop back down to the 50s, 60s, and a couple of 70s in the warmer spots, which is closer to seasonal norms. Our warm dry pattern gives way to a cooler, soggier, and more Spring-like pattern with valley rain and mountain snow Friday through the middle of next week. Enjoy the warm sunny weather before it's gone! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

London weather to see temperatures return to 17C after hail and snow
London is experiencing some pretty wacky fluctuations in weather at the moment as temperatures are set to rise to 17C next week following a flurry of snow and hail. After last weekend saw highs of 18C, temperatures dipped to a chilly 5C on Thursday (March 13) amid a flurry of hail and snow which was seen across the capital. Videos and photos showed hail and snow falling in Sidcup, while similar scenes were spotted in Canary Wharf and the SE16 postcode. This may have taken Londoners by surprise considering the city had reached a balmy 18C the week before. But now things are set to warm-up yet again in what is proving to be a wacky period for London weather. Temperatures are forecast to reach a Spring-like 17C by next Wednesday (March 19). READ MORE: New London snow map shows the exact time a flurry is forecast to hit READ MORE: Snow and hail fall in London as temperatures dip to 5C Tomorrow (Sunday, March 16) is set to be 'frosty and mainly sunny' with clouds set to then creep in. There will then be some sunny spells with temperatures of 10C. However, temperatures will start to really improve at the beginning of next week. Tuesday (March 18) will see temperatures increase to 12C, with clear sunny skies. On Wednesday (March 19) these will rise to 17C, although some clouds will then creep in. Thursday (March 20) and Friday (March 21) will remain balmy at 16C and 15C respectively. The Met Office forecast says: 'Monday cloudy start but then becoming brighter, with temperatures near normal. Tuesday and Wednesday sunny, breezy and with temperatures rising a little by day. Each night a widespread frost develops.' Sunday, March 16 - Sunny changing to overcast by lunchtime, 11C Monday, March 17 - Overcast changing to sunny intervals by lunchtime, 11C Tuesday, March 18 - Sunny, 12C Wednesday, March 19 - Sunny changing to partly cloudy by early evening, 17C Thursday, March 20 - Sunny changing to partly cloudy by early evening, 16C Friday, March 21 - Sunny intervals changing to cloudy by late morning, 15C Long range forecast (Wednesday 19 March - 28 March) - The Met Office said: "High pressure is expected to be centred to the east of the UK initially, with a good deal of fine, dry and reasonably sunny weather in a south to southeasterly flow. "Temperatures are expected to rise, to well above average in some areas. Later in the week there will likely be a gradual transition to less settled conditions from west to east, as low pressure becomes more dominant with an increasing chance of rain or showers by the weekend and into the final week of March, perhaps heavy in places. Temperatures, initially above average, will likely trend back closer to normal, although with more cloud this will tend to reduce the risk of frost to an extent." Got a story?

Multiple Central IL fire departments issue burn bans ahead of weekend winds
CENTRAL ILLINOIS (WCIA) — Fire departments across Central Illinois are issuing burn bans as dry conditions are about to be exacerbated by high winds this weekend. All 21 fire departments located in Iroquois County, along with the county's board and board chairman, issued a ban that begins Friday. Under this ban, people are ordered to refrain from open burning of landscape, agricultural and household waste. Consumer fireworks are also prohibited from being shot off. WEATHER NOW: Calm, Spring-like start to today, but severe storms arrive by late Friday Fire departments can issue fines of $100 for anyone caught violating the burn ban. Fines will double for second violations. 'At the present time, conditions are expected to be very favorable for the outbreak of wildfires and other uncontrolled events. The dead and dry areas, common after the winter, are exposed and vulnerable,' said Iroquois County Board Chairman Paul Ducat. 'The Fire Chiefs in the county, with the authority granted by Illinois Statute, have recommended and approved this burn ban to prohibit any type of burning or the use of consumer-grade fireworks. This burn ban will remain in effect until the predicted high wind event has subsided, or significant rainfall over the area takes place. An official notice when the burn ban is lifted will be issued.' Neighboring Ford County also issued a burn ban to begin at the same time. That ban will also remain in effect until further notice. Weather conditions raise field fire concerns in Central IL Several fire departments have issued burn bans that went into effect for Thursday, and they are already fighting fires that have gotten out of control. The Tolono Fire Protection District issued a burn ban Wednesday night and on Thursday, its firefighters responded to a house fire. The Mid-Piatt Fire Protection District said its crews saw several burns get out of hand and asked that burning be avoided until 5 p.m. on Saturday. A grass fire in Macon County spread to five buildings on Thursday and the same day, what was once a controlled spread to 10 acres of land in Champaign. The Clinton Fire Department issued a burn ban starting at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday and said their ban will be in effect until Saturday at 9 a.m. 'The extremely dry conditions and expected wind speeds through Friday night will make any type of fire unsafe and spread easily,' Clinton officials said. 'Also please be sure to dispose of smoking materials responsibly to help eliminate possible road side fires.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
