UPDATE: Utah is gearing up for a delightful weekend with clearing skies and seasonal temperatures that promise outdoor enjoyment across the state. As of this afternoon, Friday, October 20, 2023, the weather is shifting, bringing mostly cloudy conditions to northern Utah.
A weak front is passing through, but significant precipitation is unlikely. Residents in Cache Valley and near the Bear River Range may experience a few spotty showers, but this will not hinder plans for the weekend. High temperatures today will hover around the 50s in northern Utah, while those in central and southern regions can expect warmer highs from the mid 60s to mid 70s.
This weekend is shaping up to be perfect for outdoor activities. Many families are expected to head out for fall festivities, including raking leaves and visiting local corn mazes. With high pressure dominating, the forecast calls for abundant sunshine statewide, especially in southern Utah where temperatures will reach into the low to mid 70s.
Morning lows this weekend will drop into the 20s and 30s for northern Utah, while southern areas will see lows in the low to mid 40s. The pleasant autumn weather will continue as Utah prepares for a shift early next week.
Meteorologists predict a deep trough developing in the central and eastern United States, which will lead to a robust ridge forming over the western states, including Utah. This change is expected to bring a pattern of above-average high temperatures and consistent sunshine throughout next week.
While a few clouds may occasionally drift across the sky, overall conditions will remain favorable for outdoor activities. As the week progresses, weather experts indicate that the pattern will begin to break down by next weekend, potentially leading to a storm system moving into the western U.S. This could signal the return of wet conditions and cooler temperatures.
