Weather warnings and advisories
According to the National Weather Service, a hazardous weather outlook predicts unseasonably cool temperatures for the western two thirds of Utah Saturday after a cold front settled into the Southern Utah area.
A warming trend early next week will bring temperatures back up to around normal across the entire outlook area, with readings climbing above normal by late in the week. Due to the warm temperatures, officials are urging caution near waterways due to accelerated snowmelt.
