From Salt Lake City.... Temperatures are expected to soar into the upper 80s this weekend. That means a lot of snow in the mountains will be melting. Fast, furious, ferocious water is expected this weekend as streams run two to three times faster than normal. "You venture near any of these waterways, they're going to be really dangerous, incredibly dangerous to get near," said hydrologist Brian McInerney. He says some of you can expect basement flooding if you live near the Jordan River.

Snow is falling in the Colorado mountains this morning. Amounts are generally expected to stay under 3 inches.

All you fishermen...check this out from Minnesota....Here are a couple of guys and their dog on a floating slab of ice.
