The western two-thirds of Utah is under a Hazardous Weather Outlook as it approaches the weekend, with north winds, scattered rain showers and mountain snow expected.
The National Weather Service blames that shift from Wednesday’s balmy, mid-70s along the Wasatch Front to the upper-50s and low-60s on Thursday and Friday — and upper-40s highs come Saturday — on a cold front that has stalled over the region.
That weather system is a lot bigger than just the Beehive State, having dipped south from Canada to encompass a swath of the United States from the Northern Plains to the Pacific Northwest.
