Renewed cool, wet and breezy spring weather will prevail as the work week gets underway along the Wasatch Front, and the mountains of northern Utah may even get a dusting of snow.

On Monday, high temperatures in the Salt Lake and Tooele valleys were pegged in the upper-50s, with south winds of 10-20 mph shepherding storm clouds over the region. Cycles of rain showers lined up throughout the day and evening, and were to make an encore on Tuesday, with high temperatures in the low-50s.

So, grab an umbrella, breathe deeply, and take a walk. "Let the rain kiss you, let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops, let the rain sing you a lullaby," as American "jazz poet" Langston Hughes once advised.

This time around, southern Utahns will not dodge the precipitation. The National Weather Service predicted rainy, breezy condition and highs in the upper-50s for Utah's Dixie on Monday. A drier Tuesday was expected, with southwest winds of 10-25 mph and highs warming 5-10 degrees.

"I stuck my head out the window this morning and spring kissed me bang in the face," Hughes might reprise.

All that rain scours the atmosphere of pollutants, so it was no surprise that the Utah Division of Air Quality rated conditions statewide as "green," or healthy extending into the midweek.

The Intermountain Allergy & Asthma website was far more stingy with good news, however. Mulberry, ash, oak and cedar pollen levels were "very high" as of Monday, with sycamore at "high."
