SALT LAKE CITY — A hard freeze warning was placed into effect by the National Weather Service from 9 p.m. Monday until 10 a.m. on Tuesday for parts of northern Utah after a day of gusting winds.
The National Weather Service explained in a tweet that the hard freeze warning comes after clearing conditions and winds that are causing temperatures to be cooler. Temperatures in Salt Lake City are expected to be around 30 degrees overnight.
Cooler temperatures can cause complications for the growing season, which has already begun in some parts of northern Utah, the weather service said.
