Salt Lake City residents can expect a shift in the weather pattern as the National Weather Service forecasts a cloudy sky with highs swinging into the 60s in the coming days. The current clear conditions at 57°F are set to change with a rise in humidity and the approach of southern winds. Keeping an eye on the skies, locals should plan for temperature variations that come with spring's whims.
According to the National Weather Service, the temperature will remain steady, with today's high nearing 61 degrees and winds flowing from the south at 10 to 15 mph. However, a developing front brings more cloud cover tonight, and lows are not dipping too far down, resting around a comfortable 52 degrees. A sustained south-southeast wind of 11 to 14 mph will accompany the night-time temps.
Looking into the midweek forecast, conditions appear wet as Tuesday maintains the cloud cover with a high of 62 degrees. Rain chances surface by Tuesday night with a 20 percent possibility after 11 pm. This precipitous trend amplifies come Wednesday, with rain forecasted before 2 pm, and then a mix of rain and snow, though with little to no accumulation expected. The high will peak at a relatively mild 54 degrees with gentle southern winds nudging the droplets along.
Thursday's outlook remains similarly unsettled, splicing chances of rain and snow with cloudy skies and a high nearing 52 degrees. Late-night rain likelihood ticks up past 11 pm, ushering in a damp segue into Friday. The end of the workweek could greet folks with snow, potentially mixed with rain, keeping the sky overcast and the thermometer reading close to 51 degrees. As the weekend approaches, the meteorologists suggest preparing for a brisk Saturday with a chance of snow and a partly sunny Sunday with highs in the 30s, cementing a typically fickle February forecast for the Salt Lake region.
