How did we get here and, more importantly, how long will it last? 🥶
. That's only 7 degrees warmer than the coldest temperature ever recorded in the continental U.S., and 6.6 degrees off the location's all-time record, set in 1985.The frigid temperatures are the result of a perfect storm of sorts. Alex Desmet, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, explains that the cold front that arrived on Sunday carried arctic air by the way of northwest Canada.
This led to wind chill warnings and advisories all over Utah Sunday night through Tuesday morning. Similar alerts may be issued again Tuesday night into Wednesday, especially in parts of northern Utah, Desmet added. Temperatures are expected to be "close to normal" by Friday, though temperatures will "lag" a bit near the Cache Valley because of the recent snow, Desmet said. High temperatures are currently forecast to reach into the 40s along the Wasatch Front over the coming weekend, while temperatures in Logan are set to return to the 30s in the same timespan.
