The National Weather Service’s forecast for the Wasatch Front is for the next week is consistent — “widespread haze” every day and night.
Air quality won’t be terrible — mostly moderate/yellow conditions are expected, according to the Utah Division of Air Quality. But there’s no real relief in sight through at least Sunday, and possibly longer.
(National Weather Service) Widespread haze is expected across northern Utah this week.
Because of a high pressure system off the West Coast, storms are traveling north of Utah. A weak storm will brush by the state early Tuesday, but the “impact to our area will be little more than an increase in high cloud cover,” according to the National Weather Service. No precipitation is expected.
The storm “may slightly weaken valley inversions,” but any improvement will be temporary. A second storm midweek may also brush by the state, but it, too, is expected to have only a minimal effect on inversions at lower elevations.
The forecast calls for highs in the low to mid-40s in Salt Lake City through Sunday, with overnight lows in the upper 20s. That’s normal for this time of the year, according to the National Weather Service.
There’s also no precipitation in the forecast for southern Utah, but air quality will be good and it will be warmer than usual in many areas. In St. George, daytime highs will be in the mid-60s through Thursday and near 70 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Overnight lows in the mid-30s are expected.
The normal highs in St. George at this time of year are 57-59; the normal lows are 31-32.
