The GFS forecast for 2100 UTC (2 PM MST) Saturday shows high pressure in control, but a trough in the Pacific Northwest. Ahead of that slowly approaching system, 700 mb (10,000 ft) temperatures are forecast to be nearly +4˚C in the central Wasatch.
Balmy. Such a temperature would not be a record for January or February and we once reached 5.8˚C on February 1st, but it is quite warm.
I suspect this will incite a weak case of spring fever as people enjoy the warmth and hopefully sun. On the plus side, this is still Steenburgh winter, so the snow on upper-elevation north aspects should stay dry and continue to support good skiing.
