Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Utah Weather Podcast — it's Thursday, February 26th.

That light rain you heard tapping at your window overnight? It's already packing up and heading out. Left behind about a tenth of an inch across the Wasatch Front. And now those clouds are tearing open like wrapping paper. High pressure's sliding in with a gift that feels more like April than late February.

Along the Wasatch Front, any leftover showers wrap up by 8 A.M. Then sunshine takes over. You're hitting 55 degrees this afternoon — perfect excuse for a lunchtime walk. Tonight drops to 37 under partly cloudy skies.

Now drive south to St. George. Completely different universe down there. You're looking at 80 degrees under full sun. That's nearly 30 degrees warmer than normal. Tonight stays mild at 48 with clear skies. Sunburn weather in February.. Up in the mountains, a few rain and snow showers hang around early this morning. Best chance hits around 4 A.M. with nearly a coin flip on precipitation. By afternoon, you dry out and climb to 46 degrees. Fair warning though — it'll feel like 29 around 8 A.M., so layer up if you're heading out early. Tonight clears to 30 degrees.

Here's your week ahead. Friday keeps the sunshine rolling with 60 along the Wasatch Front and 80 down south. Saturday stays warm. Then Saturday night, the pattern flips. A storm system moves in with rain chances lasting through Monday. Mountains could see snow. Tuesday we start drying out.

One more thing — we're gaining almost three minutes of daylight each day now. Sunrise hits at 7:07 A.M. and sunset at 6:16 P.M. Spring equinox is just three weeks out. And today sure feels like a preview.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Utah Weather Podcast — it's Wednesday, February 25th.

That rain hammering your roof all night? Sixteen hundredths of an inch so far. And we're not done. Step outside right now and you'll feel 46 degrees with drizzle. This atmospheric river is dumping.

Up in the mountains, winter's throwing a tantrum. A Winter Weather Advisory runs until 5 P.M. today. Above 85 hundred feet — Upper Cottonwoods, Wolf Creek Pass — wet, heavy snow is piling up. Five to 15 inches possible. Winds? Gusting to 80 miles an hour on exposed ridges. Rain keeps falling until 1 A.M., peaking at 91 percent around 5 A.M. You'll hit 47 degrees around 3 P.M., then drop to 34 by 4 A.M. Around 8 A.M. tomorrow, it'll feel like 32 even though the thermometer reads 39.

Now the Wasatch Front. Grab your umbrella and don't put it down. Rain from 4 A.M. straight through 10 P.M. today. Showers and thunderstorms roll in between 11 A.M. and 5 P.M. High of 56 around 3 P.M., falling to 40 by 4 A.M. tomorrow. Winds shift from southeast to south around 8 A.M.

Drive south and.. You're in a different state. Southern Utah stays bone dry. Sunny skies all day. Low of 46 around 6 A.M., climbing to 76 by 3 P.M. Spring preview down there.

Here's your week ahead. High pressure builds Friday and camps out. Temperatures jump 29 degrees to 29 degrees above normal. Southern Utah could hit 80 by Thursday. The equinox is three weeks out. And we're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight today alone.

Sunrise at 7:09 A.M. Sunset at 6:15 P.M.

If you're driving through the mountains today, check conditions before you go. Chain laws are likely.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Utah Weather Podcast — it's Tuesday, February 24th.

Step outside and you'll feel 42 degrees. Feels mild, right? Don't be fooled. Utah's about to split into three completely different days.

**Up along the Wasatch Front**, rain starts light at 8 A.M. By 8 P.M., it's steady — 94 percent chance, so yeah, it's happening. You'll hit 54 degrees around 4 P.M., then things get wild. Thunderstorms roll in after 2 A.M. And stick around through Wednesday afternoon. Winds shift southeast to south around 11 A.M., just to keep you guessing. By Wednesday, expect thunderstorms before 5 P.M. And highs near 56. Thursday finally gives you a break — mostly sunny, 55 degrees.

**Down in Southern Utah**, it's a completely different planet. Bone dry. Sunshine all day. You'll cruise to 71 degrees by 5 P.M. — that's nearly 27 degrees warmer than the north. Overnight lows only dip to 46. By Wednesday, you're flirting with 76. Friday? 78 degrees. Practically spring break weather down there.

**In the mountains**, winter's throwing a tantrum. A Winter Weather Advisory runs from 8 A.M. Today through 5 P.M. Wednesday for elevations above 8,000 feet. Expect 6 to 16 inches of heavy, wet snow — up to 18 in the Bear River Range. Winds gust to 80 miles an hour along ridgelines. That's dangerous. Snow levels start at 6,500 feet, rise to 10,000 overnight. Avalanche danger is extreme. Check the Utah Avalanche Center before you head out.

Looking ahead: Thursday through Saturday, the Wasatch Front dries out with mid-50s. Southern Utah pushes 80 degrees by Saturday. Another storm system eyes Sunday, bringing rain and snow back north.

One bright spot: we're gaining 2 minutes and 38 seconds of daylight today. Sunrise at 7:10 A.M., sunset at 6:13 P.M.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Utah Weather Podcast — it's Monday, February 23rd.

Utah's putting on a show today. Three regions, three completely different vibes. The Wasatch Front gets spring. Southern Utah gets summer. And the mountains? They're still clinging to winter.

Let's start along the Wasatch Front. You're waking up to 34 degrees, but watch what happens. By 3 P.M., you'll hit 56.. Nearly 25 degrees above normal for late February. Winds stay light, shifting southeast to south around 11 A.M. At just 5 miles an hour. Tonight, clouds roll in. There's a slight chance of rain after 5 A.M. Lows drop to 39 degrees.

Now drive south and things heat up fast. Southern Utah wakes up to 36 degrees but climbs to 67 by 4 P.M. That's summer weather, folks. Winds stay gentle, shifting northeast to east around 2 P.M. Tonight stays mostly clear, with lows near 41 degrees. It's the kind of day where you forget winter exists.

Up in the mountains, winter's not done yet. You'll start at 26 degrees.. Feeling more like 20 with the wind. You'll climb to 47 by afternoon, but winds pick up from the south-southwest around 5 P.M. Tonight brings a chance of light snow after 5 A.M., with lows near 30 degrees. Skiers, this could be your last fresh dusting for a while.

Here's the plot twist. A storm system arrives Tuesday. Rain moves into northern Utah, turning to thunderstorms Wednesday. Snow levels drop to 5,500 to 6,500 feet in the mountains. Southern Utah stays dry and warm through Thursday.. Highs near 70. Then a slight cooldown over the weekend. High pressure returns Thursday and Friday, bringing sunny skies and highs back into the 50s and 60s.

One critical note. The Utah Avalanche Center warns of high danger in the backcountry through today. Two fatalities this week prove how volatile conditions are. Check utahavalanchecenter.org before you head out.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Utah Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd.

Utah is playing favorites today. Southern Utah wakes up to sunshine and 60 degrees. The mountains? A bone-chilling 18, feeling like 17 degrees with the wind. The Wasatch Front gets the Goldilocks treatment — not too hot, not too cold.

Salt Lake City starts at 28 degrees at 5 A.M., then climbs to 51 by 2 P.M. Mostly sunny skies make it a perfect day to shake off the winter cobwebs. Tonight, partly cloudy with lows around 32.

Down south, St. George hits 60 today under clear skies. Tonight drops to 36, then Monday soars to 67. The sunshine train keeps rolling all week, topping out at 77 by Friday.

Up in the mountains, you're looking at 44 degrees today under mostly sunny skies. Lows tonight near 25. Tuesday brings a slight chance of snow as a storm system pushes in.

Tuesday, that storm arrives with valley rain and mountain snow, especially north. Wednesday stays wet, with snow levels bouncing around. Thursday, sunshine breaks through. And we're back in the 50s and 60s.

Quick safety note — an avalanche advisory stays active through Monday for all Utah mountains. If you're heading into the backcountry, check utahavalanchecenter.org first. That's not the kind of surprise you want.

Air quality is moderate today. And we're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight. Spring is inching closer, folks.

Alright. If this forecast helped you plan your day, share it with someone who needs a weather heads-up.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Utah Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th.

Folks, here's the deal. Utah's running a 20 degree temperature spread this morning, and the mountains are winning the cold war. Six degrees up there right now. That's the kind of cold where your nosehairs freeze on contact.

Down along the Wasatch Front, you're waking up to 19 degrees. Light winds around 6 miles an hour. Honestly not terrible. But don't get cocky. Highs barely budge today, and tonight you're sliding right back into the teens. If you're heading to Sunday River, I mean, Sunday brunch, layer up.

Now drive south and things soften. Southern Utah sits at 26 degrees with barely a whisper of breeze. Highs flirt with freezing. Tonight settles into the low 20s. Almost balmy by comparison.

The mountains though? That's where winter lives. Five miles an hour out of the south and highs struggle to crack double digits. Tonight plunges back to single digits. If you're chasing powder at Snowbird or Brighton, you'll want to bundle like you mean it. Frostbite doesn't wait for your second run.

Quick note on air quality. Moderate range today. If you're sensitive, maybe keep the outdoor workout short.

Here's some good news. We're gaining almost 3 minutes of daylight today. Sunrise hit at 6:32 this morning. Sunset stretches to 5:20 tonight. Spring is whispering.

Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Sunday starts a slow, steady warmup. Wasatch Front climbs into the 30s by midweek. Southern Utah pushes into the 40s. Mountains stay chilly but loosen their grip a little. No major storms on the radar. Just a gentle thaw rolling in like a promise.

One more thing. If this forecast helped you plan your Saturday, share it with someone who needs it. Word of mouth keeps us going.

Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
