The colder, potentially wet weather will stick around through Sunday for much of Utah.
The National Weather Service predicts a cool Sunday, with highs topping out in the upper-30s to about 40 in many Wasatch Front locations, with a chance of snow, before overnight temperatures drop to between 20 and 30.
The thermometer in southern Utah is expected to climb to the upper-40s to mid-50s and drop to about 20 to 30 degrees Sunday night into Monday morning.
The back country remains dangerous into Sunday, with the Utah Avalanche Center predicting a moderate risk for slides in the Salt Lake, Provo, Ogden, Logan and Moab area mountains. The center expects a low risk for avalanches in the Uintas and Skyline area.
The air remains healthy to breathe, at least. The Utah Division of Air Quality forecasting "good" air quality Sunday and into Monday statewide.
The colder, wet weather comes as a relief from the stretch of sometimes record-breaking warm weather.
As of noon Saturday, Brigham City, Layton and Draper all saw about half an inch of precipitation. No snow accumulation was expected in the valleys, but 1 to 3 inches might pile up in Alta and Brighton on Saturday. Salt Lake City saw a high of 42 degrees Saturday, and meteorologists expected it would see an overnight low of 39.
St. George saw a high of 46 degrees, and was expected to see an overnight low around 33.
