Spring showers are set to bring more than May flowers to Salt Lake City, with the National Weather Service predicting a mixed bag of weather conditions for the week ahead. According to the National Weather Service, residents should prepare to transition quickly between umbrellas and sunglasses. The NWS Salt Lake City noted today that there is "a 50 percent chance of showers, mainly after noon," with temperatures hovering near a comfortable 62 degrees.
The unpredictable spring climate is expected to continue into the night and the following days. The NWS reports "a 50 percent chance of showers" for tonight, with the weather taking a chilly turn on Monday. A chance of rain and snow showers before noon, then a chance of rain showers is in the forecast, alongside possible thunder. The NWS warns locals to anticipate little snow accumulation, if any. Despite the potential for precipitation, Monday still promises to be near 60 degrees, tempting one to almost forget the looming snowflakes.
Looking further into the week, Tuesday may offer a brief respite from the recent precipitous conditions. Skies are expected to be sunny with temperatures rising to a more seasonable 68 degrees. However, this brief glimpse of straightforward spring weather will be interrupted by a 20 percent chance of showers after midnight, casting a shadow of unpredictability over the night.
As the midweek mark approaches, the chances of rain and thunderstorms are set to increase. "A chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after noon," as reported by the National Weather Service, underscores the rollercoaster of weather patterns Salt Lake City residents can anticipate. Those hoping to enjoy the outdoors will need to remain vigilant, the thermometer slated to peak around a deceptive 66 degrees amidst the mostly cloudy skies.
The remainder of the week continues similarly, as clear skies on Thursday give way to a chance of showers and thunderstorms by Friday, despite a high of 79 degrees that suggests summer is just around the corner. By next Saturday, temperatures are expected to slightly cool to 75, with continued chances of rain and thunderstorms.
