One more beautiful Utah day before storms move in for the weekend
Another beautiful day ahead for the Beehive State, but changes start Thursday. The Utah weather forecast continues to be a beautiful day with plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures, but changes start Thursday. High pressure will continue to dominate the day, allowing temperatures to reach the 70s for the Wasatch Front and St. George. Wind Advisories will be in effect for the western portion of the state on Thursday, with sustained winds of up to 55 mph possible. High Wind Watches will be implemented for the Southern and Eastern half of Utah, with gusts potentially reaching 75 mph. Changes will begin when a cold front associated with the next low-pressure system will bring in colder temperatures across the state, with temperatures expected to fall into the mid-40s on Saturday and possibly Saturday. Unsettled weather is expected to continue from Sunday into Monday, with a trailing system set to move through, but temperatures are expected to moderate before returning to seasonal norms next week.
