Utah's midweek forecast still offers warm daytime temperatures, but the Wasatch Front's nights will be enough to make a Jack O' Lantern shiver.
The frost definitely is on the pumpkin, the National Weather Service warns.
Forecasters had both hard freeze and standard freeze warnings in place as Tuesday dawned — the former covering the Northern and Southern Wasatch Front areas, Salt Lake and Tooele valleys, the western Uinta Basin and San Rafael Swell; the latter encompassing the eastern Uinta Basin, Grand Valley, Gunnison and Uncompahgre River Basin, Arches and Canyonlands areas.
Both advisories were set to expire by 9 a.m. Tuesday, but nighttime temperatures were expected to continue on the chilly side through the remainder of the week.
Northern Utahns looked for daytime highs in the low-60s on Wednesday, up a few degrees from Tuesday. Overnight lows were to range into the upper-30s.
Southern Utahns will highs in the 70s both days with lows in the mid- to upper-40s.
The Utah Division of Air Quality graded the entire state as "green," or healthy for breathing.
Sagebrush and mold were at "moderate"levels as of Tuesday on the Intermountain Allergy & Asthma website's pollen index, but all other allergens were either very low or too low to register at all.
