**Weather Update for the Weekend**
This weekend, two storm systems are on the horizon. While they may not deliver a major impact, the first one is expected to be more structured compared to the second.
**Friday’s Forecast**
Expect a tranquil start to the weekend. The northern region will have partly cloudy skies, while southern areas bask in sunshine. Temperatures will hover around normal levels, reaching highs of approximately 40°F in northern Utah and 50°F in the southern regions.
**Overnight Developments**
As evening falls, isolated snow showers will emerge in the mountains, particularly near the Idaho border. However, the majority of northern and central Utah, including the Wasatch Front, will see minimal snowfall until after midnight. Light snow will continue sporadically overnight, with areas south of I-70 likely experiencing dry conditions.
**Saturday’s Snow Showers**
Snow showers are forecasted to linger until midday Saturday, gradually tapering off in the afternoon. Valleys in northern and central Utah can expect between a dusting and 2 inches of snow, while mountain areas may see 2 to 4 inches, with up to 6 inches in Park City. The mountainous regions could receive 4 to 8 inches, and Cottonwood Canyons may even reach 12 inches. Highs will remain in the mid-30s up north and around 50°F to the south.
**Looking Ahead to Sunday**
On Sunday, partly to mostly cloudy skies will prevail, coupled with isolated light snow showers in northern and central Utah, but with little accumulation expected. Highs will settle in the mid-30s in the north and the mid-40s in the south.
