Residents of Salt Lake City can enjoy calm weather conditions leading into the weekend, per the latest forecast from the National Weather Service. The NWS reports a partly sunny day today, with highs creeping up to a mild 50°F and light northwest winds in the afternoon, nothing too disruptive for a Thursday hustle. The detailed forecast suggests more of the same for Friday, so whether you're planning to work from the park or run errands, Mother Nature's playing nice.
Tonight's sky is set to stay mostly clear, giving way to a low around 32°F, according to the National Weather Service. It seems the gift of clear autumn nights isn't quite out of reach, at least for now. Wind speeds are holding steady at your typical light breeze. But if you're nocturnal or just stepping out for an evening stroll, jacket weather it still is, with temperatures hovering above freezing.
Looking forward to the weekend, it's a mixed bag of conditions. Saturday maintains a partly sunny disposition, with highs ticking up slightly to 54°F. However, as per the National Weather Service, clouds start to gather Saturday night, and there's a 40 percent chance of snow after midnight. Not exactly a Siberian onslaught, but flurries might grace the valley, with little to no snow accumulation expected.
Come Sunday, snow showers are likely before noon with a possible cameo of thunder. The high shouldn't venture far from 40°F, and while we could see less than a half inch of the white stuff, it's enough uncertainty to perhaps ponder a cozy, indoor brunch. The start of next week holds onto the possibility of snow, with Monday and even Tuesday night showing similar cautious optimism for clear skies. Wednesday rounds out the forecast as the bright spot, sunny with highs once again reaching for that elusive 50°F mark.
