Utah misses national winter storms as dry, cold conditions persist

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — We saw the coldest temperatures of the season Sunday morning after SLC hit 18 degrees, and we will get close to it again Monday morning, dropping to 20 degrees.

While the eastern half of the country deals with ice, snow and extremely cold temperatures, generally our weather stays dry and cold, which is expected for the upcoming work week across Utah.

Monday is dry and mostly sunny with high temperatures getting warmer than the weekend. Highs will hit the mid-40s Monday afternoon.

Air quality improved over the weekend. As we head into Monday, the Utah Division of Air Quality has forecasted moderate air—yellow air—starting Monday into Tuesday.

A little bit of haze tries to form, but a couple disturbances, mostly bringing clouds from the northwest, keep our air moving just enough that the inversion might not get as bad as last week.

After the coldest temperatures of the season this weekend, temperatures slowly warm over the next seven days, and no significant precipitation is expected anywhere in Utah through at least the next work week.
