If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service. .DISCUSSION...Dry and cool conditions will be in place today behind a departing cold front. Another system will be right on its heels, however, with another cold front slated to cross northern and central Utah late tonight and Friday morning. While this front will be largely a dry one across central Utah, we can't rule out an isolated snow shower, especially Friday morning. A significant warmup on Saturday will bring warm, dry and windy conditions Saturday afternoon through Saturday evening. A strong cold front will move through the area Saturday night or Sunday morning, complete with a significant increase in humidity, a wind shift to the northwest, and some potential for accumulating snow late Sunday into Monday morning. .TODAY...
