The National Weather Service in Salt Lake City is forecasting a bright and sunny day today, with temperatures expected to soar high into the 90s. According to the National Weather Service, light and variable winds will give way to a northwesterly current between 8 to 13 mph come the afternoon. Those evening plans should be comfortable, as the night is set to remain mostly clear with a drop to a mild 66 degrees.
As the new week unwinds, the trend of wall-to-wall sunshine will press on tirelessly. Tuesday's calm winds will once again shift to a west-northwest direction, fanning the heat upward toward a high near 95 degrees. The night promises to hold onto the warmth, with Tuesday's low touching 70 degrees. Eyes might then turn warily toward the midweek forecast as Wednesday's temperatures escalate further, flirting with triple digits.
Looking ahead, a bit of change looms as the week progresses. Thursday's skies are predicted to herald a 30 percent chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, a pattern which could linger through to Friday, bringing slight relief from the relentless heat. The high for both these days will hover in the mid-90s, but by nightfall, temperatures will ease down into the high 60s.
Salt Lake City residents can expect to return to sunny norms by the weekend, the NWS advises. While there remains a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms, the days are slated to be sunny with highs sitting comfortably in the lower 90s. It seems a typical summer rhythm for the city, one punctuated by the contrasting clarity of blue skies and the sporadic pulse of a summer storm.
