Finally, after two weeks of daytime temperatures well above normal, Utah is settling down to what forecasters call more "sensible weather" for early spring: wet, windy and highs in the low- to mid-50s.

After Salt Lake City set or tied five records this month alone — the capital hit 75 on Tuesday, edging out a 1972 mark of 74 degrees — a Pacific storm system settled over the Wasatch Front by Wednesday morning. Highs from the midweek through the weekend will be in the 50-60 range, on target for the 55-degree norm for this time of year.

Throughout the period, intermittent rain showers and breezy conditions will prevail.

Southern Utahns also will see rain clouds off and on through the remainder of this week. Daytime highs — in the 80s earlier this month — will settle down to a more typical mid- to upper-60s in Utah's Dixie.

The Utah Division of Air Quality once more awarded universal "green," or healthy grades statewide extending through Thursday.

However, allergy sufferers will not get a break: rated "very high" on the Intermountain Allergy & Asthma website's pollen index Wednesday were cottonwood, ash, cedar, oak, willow, elm and mulberry.
