Salt Lake City, UT — Northern Utah residents will notice a sharp drop in temperatures today, with highs plunging up to 20°F. This dramatic change is driven by a cold front sweeping across the region. Temperatures will be noticeably cooler along the I-15 corridor, affecting commuters and outdoor workers.
According to the National Weather Service, northern Utah will experience highs 10°F below seasonal averages, reaching just 56°F by the afternoon. Southern Utah will also feel the effects, although the cooling there will be milder, with temperatures dropping by up to 5°F. Residents should prepare for the cooler weather by layering up, especially during the morning and evening hours when temperatures are at their lowest.
By Friday, conditions will improve as a warming trend takes over, with highs climbing to 67°F in northern Utah. The weekend looks even more promising, with temperatures reaching 74°F by Sunday. However, high-pressure systems forecasted for early next week suggest the weather will turn stormy by Monday, bringing chances of rain and even some snow at higher elevations.
Drivers along I-15 and I-80 should remain cautious, especially as temperatures could dip below freezing overnight in some areas. Highways may become slick in the early morning hours. Residents are encouraged to keep up with updated forecasts as the weekend approaches, as changing weather patterns could impact travel plans.
