High pressure will generate a warming trend across most of the state as the work week begins, but a midweek snowstorm will cool things down and affect early holiday travel.
According to the National Weather Service, skies Monday and Tuesday will be partly cloudy in the northern half of the state, and mostly sunny in the south. Urban haze is expected to increase, but not to the degree it accumulated last week.
On Wednesday afternoon through Thursday, a strong cold front will follow the windy, warm conditions, the NWS says. Snow is expected to accumulate, which will have “significant travel impacts for early holiday travel in the mountains and across western [and] northern Utah.
