The National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, Utah, is bringing not-so-sunny news for locals today with its latest weather forecast. As Saturday drizzles into wet existence, thunder, light rain, and a cloak of mist have settled over the city, where temperatures stubbornly hover at a cool 51 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrapped in a blanket of 85% humidity, with a southeast wind whipping at 20 miles per hour, it seems Salt Lake City is decidedly the domain of the damp and chilled today.
Those hoping to partake in weekend activities may need to adjust their plans, as the chance of precipitation is an insistent 100%, according to the National Weather Service. It's crucial to remember to drive safely and be prepared to quickly move indoors should a thunderstorm roll through. As we transition into tonight, keep those umbrellas at hand; the forecast suggests showers and thunderstorms before midnight, followed by a slight chance to catch a break from the precipitation between the witching hours of midnight and 3 A.M.
This brisk symphony of weather isn't set to end quite yet. With a somewhat brighter but still cloudy Sunday, the NWS hints at a 20 percent chance of showers. And while parts of the sky may tease with moments of clearness, and the high nearly reaches a more temperate 60 degrees, one might do well to keep that light jacket close.
As Sunday night promises to cool down to a low of around 43 degrees, the wind calms itself to a whisper. Come Monday, expect a mostly sunny sky with a high near 63 degrees, giving a long-awaited nod to the typical autumn we all know, or at least hope to expect. True to a capricious nature, Tuesday will likely greet us with sunshine and a high near 68, trending upwards through the week with highs in the mid-70s, as detailed by the NWS forecast.
