Residents of Salt Lake City, you might want to keep an umbrella handy for the weekend. Forecasts provided by the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City predict a medley of partly cloudy skies and sunshine, punctuated by a series of chances for showers and thunderstorms stretching into early next week. On the weather menu today, there's a 10 percent chance of rain and thunderstorms after 3 pm with temperatures climbing to a high near 87 degrees, but don't get too comfortable because the chance of precipitation increases as we march into the weekend.
The barometer on this unpredictable weather pattern sits at 30.06 in, humidity at a pleasant 37%, and winds just shy of stagnant at ESE 5 mph. Take note of tonight's low of 65 and prepare for similar lows in the mid-60s throughout the upcoming evenings. As per the National Weather Service update, Friday's high remains at an agreeable 87 degrees, with northeast winds barely brushing past at 6 mph; turn your face to the wind and you might just miss it.
The weather pattern doesn't plant its flag there, however. Saturday ramps up the unpredictability factor with a 50 percent chance of showers and storms, mainly in the post-noon hours. So, if you've got outdoor plans, you'd be well-advised to keep a watchful eye on the sky, or more practically, your favorite weather app. The following night dials it back to 30 percent, possibly allowing those evening plans to stand firm without a soggy surprise.
Stepping into Sunday, the odds of storms lurk around 30%, but by nightfall, it seems clearer skies are poised to swoop in, giving stargazers a shot at spotting something other than rainclouds. Fast forward to Monday, it's mostly sunny with yet another slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon; so maybe, just maybe, it's not the time to put away that umbrella just yet. The story continues with highs consistently in the mid-80s, and if you're betting on consistent weather, your odds are better playing the slots.
