Salt Lake City residents can expect a bout of rainy weather starting this afternoon and stretching into the night, according to the National Weather Service. The forecast predicts rain primarily after 2 pm with an 80% chance of precipitation, and a high temperature near 61 degrees, while the southeast wind will blow mildly at 5 to 9 mph. Tonight, the rain is likely to continue until about 11 pm, with a cloudy atmosphere in tow and lows dipping to about 41 degrees.
The city is in for a mixed bag of weather conditions with the incoming week, Monday will see a 30 percent chance of rainfall before giving way to partly sunny skies and a high near 54 degrees, whereas the south wind will sustain speeds of 6 to 10 mph, reflecting the region's often capricious climatic moods, while the temperature holds a steady mildness, as reported by the National Weather Service. The National Weather Service's update indicates an ongoing probability of rain through the week, with Tuesday and Wednesday each marked by a 40 to 50 percent chance of precipitation, highs in the mid-50s, and a tapering light wind suggesting a soft yet persistent soggy spell.
The latter half of the week provides a slight respite from the rainfall with mostly sunny conditions on Thursday and a high nearing 49 degrees; however, rain may return Thursday night, albeit with a slight chance, the theme continues into Friday with similar weather patterns and temperatures. As the weekend approaches, Salt Lake City locals can look forward to mostly sunny skies on Saturday, with a pleasant high around 50 degrees, a pattern that offers some consistency and relief from the variably wet conditions.
