SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – Happy Friday, Utah! Today will be the warmest day of the year so far, putting us at about 10-15 degrees above average.

The bottom line? Today will be Utah’s warmest day of the year so far and beautiful weather sticks around into Saturday, but a shift to chilly soggy weather is on the way and we could even see some valley snow.

Daytime highs will run in the mid to upper 70s in the valleys while higher elevations see temperatures in the 60s to low 70s. Yesterday, St. George hit the first 80-degree day of the year, but today will be even warmer with highs in the mid-80s. 

Breezy winds are likely to hold on through the weekend and into the middle of next week. Apart from that pleasant weather is expected across the state. We’ll see some cloud cover, but there will still be plenty of sunshine to soak up.

Don’t get too used to the gorgeous weather though, because the warming trend takes a downward turn over the weekend. Saturday will only dip by a couple of degrees, but by Sunday we’ll see highs in the 60s while St. George dips into the low 70s. Partly cloudy skies hold on through the weekend.

Our next round of gloomy weather could move in on Monday, possibly even Sunday night in some areas. This will kick temperatures back to below seasonal norms. As of right now, its trajectory takes it through California, which will eat up much of its moisture before reaching Utah, but isolated showers are still in the forecast for Monday. While mountains could see snow, it will still be too warm for snow in our valleys, but snow could be on the way later in the week.

We get a brief respite on Tuesday, but lingering moisture could allow for a shower or two to pop up. Another system is trailing closely behind and will dip in from the north, pooling even more brisk northern air into the state.

By the midweek we’ll see temperatures more reminiscent of the end of February, only reaching the upper 40s to low 50s, which could allow for a rain/snow mix on valley floors.
