The soggy Wasatch Front got a break from the rain Monday, but the storm clouds were to move in again Tuesday morning and afternoon with more showers on tap.
Despite that precipitation, Tuesday's high temperatures in the Salt Lake and Tooele valleys will rise into the low-60s, matching Monday's highs under clearer and sunnier skies. That sunshine returns on Wednesday, driving the mercury up to 70 degrees.
Meanwhile, southern Utahns are intent on getting their spring thing on. Clear, sunny skies will rule the redrocks and high deserts through the midweek. High temperatures will be in the low- to upper-80s.
Turkish writer Mehmet Murat ildan's advice seems as wise for hot, arid southwestern Utah as for his Anatolian plateaus: "Are you in a desert? Then be a camel! Be compatible with the reality!"
In other words, the analogy suggests, don a sun hat, light clothing, sunblock lotion and take some water with you on those outings in Utah's Dixie the next couple days. (Still asking, "One hump or two?" You missed the point.)
Still confused? Breathe deeply, get oxygen to your brain — and the Utah Division of Air Quality says the air you breathe will be generally clean through the midweek. "Green," or healthy conditions are the rule for most of the state; the exceptions are Washington, Duchesne and Uintah counties, which come in at "yellow," or compromised for particulate pollution levels.
