We've got a warm start to a wet weekend!
A strong cold front will slide across the area this afternoon through Saturday afternoon. Out ahead of it, south winds will keep temps well above average. It's going to be breezy statewide, but the strongest winds could gust above 50 mph across Western Utah.
Showers & t-storms are possible this afternoon & evening (strong to severe storms are possible over the Northern Mountains and across Eastern Utah). Widespread precipitation is most likely across the north later tonight into Saturday with heavy rain possible at times.
Temperatures will go into a free-fall behind the cold front and rain will change to snow in the mountains. 1-4 inches are possible above 9,000 feet. Be prepared for winter-like weather in the mountains this weekend!
Wet weather will taper off on Sunday with a warming trend heading into next week.
