Salt Lake City residents are looking at a week of fickle weather, with the National Weather Service forecasting a mixture of rain, snow, and clouds. According to the latest updates from the NWS, folks in the valley should brace for intermittent snow showers and cloudy skies, with temperatures hovering near the low 40s.
Today's slight chance of snow before 2 pm will transition into a chance of rain and snow, signaling the start of an indecisive weather pattern that is expected to last several days. The temperature is set to peak at around 43 degrees with a humble southeast wind adding a bit of chill. Moving into the night, the region will see a 50% chance of precipitation with a chance of rain and snow before dawn. While snow accumulations are anticipated to be minimal, residents should be prepared for less than a half inch of new snow, potentially affecting the morning commute.
Wednesday's forecast promises a brief respite from precipitation with only a slight chance of snow between 8 am and 11 am, followed by partly sunny skies and a high near 39. Calm winds are on the docket throughout the day, turning northwest around 6 mph in the afternoon. As nighttime approaches, temperatures are set to dip, with a partly cloudy night and a low around 23.
The rest of the week will not stray far from this pattern, with Thursday looking mostly sunny and a high near 39, according to the NWS. However, a 20 percent chance of snow looms Thursday night, extending the potential for winter elements to make their appearance. Friday and into the weekend bring a continuous dance of clouds, snow chances, and a persistent rain likelihood that keeps the city ensconced in a clutch of dreariness.
Looking ahead to Saturday, residents can expect rain to be likely, though details on the amount are still forthcoming. The weather finally shifts on Sunday with a slight chance of rain and snow, giving way to partly sunny conditions and a high near 48, providing a brief glimmer of clearer skies. The week comes to a close with mostly sunny weather expected on Monday, granting Salt Lakers the hope of more sun and a high near 47 to start their week.
