The warming trend continues through the afternoon with light northwest winds shifting westerly around 9 p.m., remaining gentle at 5 to 10 miles per hour. Overnight lows will only drop to the mid-50s, keeping conditions mild. Regionally, the Wasatch Front enjoys the mildest conditions, with Salt Lake City and Ogden reaching the low 70s.
