A Wintery Wake-Up Call for Utah!

Cooler temperatures for tonight, sunny weekend ahead! - Friday, April 17

and last updated

It's the middle of April, but it felt like a freezer this morning! The cold front that brought the blast of wintery weather yesterday is moving out, but it's impacts will linger.

Lake effect snow was expected to be a wild card with this storm and it certainly changed the game for the morning commute! It mainly fell across Salt Lake & Eastern Tooele valleys before it tapered off. Spotty snow showers could continue over the mountains through the morning.

It's going to become sunny today, but with cold air lingering behind the storm, temps will still be running about 10-15 degrees below average. And with breezy NW winds, it'll feel even colder than it is.

Overnight temps likely won't drop quite as low as this morning, but they'll come close. Freeze warnings will go into effect again this evening and last through noon on Saturday.

Luckily, high pressure building this weekend will keep it sunny and bring a big warm-up!
