A stormy Easter weekend is ahead for Utah
A cold front will bring showers to northern Utah today and tomorrow before a stronger storm brings widespread showers this weekend. A cold front is expected to bring showers to northern Utah today and tomorrow before a stronger storm will bring widespread showers over the weekend. The stalled cold front will lift north, creating more showers that meander northward. Despite this, temperatures will remain mild, with snow levels likely fluctuating between 5-7k ft. Most northern and central mountains likely to see several inches of snowfall, while most northern and northern mountains will likely see a foot and a half. The storm driving the cold front today will move into our area over the Easter Weekend, leading to a good chance of showers across the entire state. For any planned Easter Egg hunts, plan an inside contingent plan.

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – Hope you have a nice Friday, Utah! It was a soggy Thursday, and the cold front that brought on the gusty winds, rain and snow is not finished bringing wet weather to parts of the Beehive State today.
The bottom line? A cold front will bring showers to northern Utah today and tomorrow before a stronger storm brings widespread showers this weekend.
The cold front stalled in central Utah, and the stalled front lifts north today helping to generate more showers that meander northward, so isolated showers are expected to hold for central and northern Utah. Daytime highs will be a bit cooler today with highs expected to top out in the low 50 along the Wasatch Front, a mix of upper 40s and mid-50s throughout Central Utah and a mix of 60s expected in spots in southern Utah like Moab and St. George.
With mild temperatures expected, we’ll continue to mainly hold onto valley rain and mountain snow with snow levels likely fluctuating between 5-7k ft., throughout the day. After seeing Spring snow show up with the cold front moving through, we can’t rule out additional minor accumulations through tonight but it looks like most valleys and benches will predominately see rain.
Meanwhile, mountain valleys could see several inches of snow. Most northern and central mountains will likely see a foot and a half. For mountains lower than 7,000 ft., totals will likely be lower.
The storm driving the cold front today will start to move into our area over the Easter Weekend. This will result in a good chance of showers across the entire state. While we won’t see non-stop showers everywhere, there’s a good chance that at any point over the weekend, that wet weather will find you. Northern Utah won’t see many changes in temperatures, but we will cool down slightly down south.
For any planned Easter Egg hunts, it would be a good idea to have an inside contingent plan just in case!
We’ll hold onto some moisture potential on Monday as our storm begins to pull away before entering a calmer and milder pattern into the middle of next week. High pressure looks to set up on Tuesday and dry us out a bit. Stay tuned.
