Sunny, breezy and a little bit cooler: there is Utah's weekend forecast, one of summer days worthy of eternity, yet short-lived as a butterfly's breath.

"Summer gathers up her robes of glory, and, like a dream, glides away," wrote Sarah Helen Whitman, poet and jilted fiancée of Edgar Allen Poe. So, live the dream before it inevitably fades to autumn.

Along the Wasatch Front, the meteorological reverie will come with mostly clear skies and highs in the upper-80s; 10-20 mph winds will usher in nighttime temperatures in the low-60s. From Friday through Sunday, that was the forecast the Salt Lake and Tooele valleys.

In southern Utah, where summer typically means highs well above 100, the weekend forecast calls for daytime temperatures in the low-90s and overnight lows in the upper-60s. Partly cloudy skies will rule, and thunderstorms, with a slight chance of rain showers, will move into Utah's Dixie late Sunday.

The Utah Division of Air Quality had some good news, too. Only Salt Lake and Utah counties remained at "yellow," or compromised levels for particulate pollution heading into the weekend; the rest of the state was graded "green," or healthy.

The Intermountain Allergy & Asthma website reported that chenopods were "high" and ragweed and mold at "moderate" levels on its pollen index as of Friday.
