Residents of Salt Lake City should enjoy today's mostly sunny skies and mild temperatures, as the National Weather Service forecasts a high near 57 degrees with an east wind turning southwest in the afternoon. Heading into tonight, the skies will stay partly cloudy and the low will likely be around 37 degrees, with a gentle east-southeast breeze, according to the National Weather Service.
For those planning their Friday, expect similar conditions with the sun continuing to grace the city and temperatures climbing slightly higher, near 60 degrees, although the wind will persist, shifting from east to south through the day, this pattern holds until Friday night when clouds begin to gather, and the temperature drops to a low around 43 degrees, the calm before a less clement spell to come.
Looking ahead to the weekend, the forecaster's crystal ball gets murky. A 20 percent chance of rain is predicted for Saturday with cloudy skies and a high near 57, leading to a 60 percent chance of rain overnight which, could bring about a more significant shift as we roll into Sunday, with rain likely before 8 am, followed by rain and possibly snow though with little accumulation expected.
Early next week doesn’t look much brighter, folks, as unsettled weather continues with more chances for rain and snow through Wednesday, hovering around highs in the mid-40s and dipping to lows just above freezing; indeed, Utahns will want to keep their winter coats and umbrellas at hand for the unpredictable days ahead, as nature once again demonstrates its supremacy over our mere human desires for predictability and comfort.
