San Franciscans might find themselves reminiscent of the city's famed fog as Salt Lake City faces a stretch of hazy days. According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, the region is experiencing mist with temperatures hovering at 27°F and humidity levels at a clingy 88%. The forecast, which was updated last at 6:54 AM MST, anticipates widespread haze to persist, though the sun aims to make appearances, sunny skies with a high near 44 today despite the misty veil.
As night falls, residents should anticipate the haze to thicken, with patchy fog making its presence known. Light winds from the north northeast aren't expected to offer much reprieve from the settled atmosphere. The NWS forecast suggests a mostly clear sky, but with a low settling around 27 tonight, the cold air stubbornly clings to the valley.
The pattern of hazy sunshine and fog isn't due to break soon. Friday through Sunday, the sun will persist in its efforts to break through the mist, supplying the region with highs gradually warming from 41 on Friday to about 49 by Sunday. Barring the fog before 11 AM that Friday morning, Salt Lake City's weekend outlook is predominantly sunny and clear.
Looking ahead, the NWS outlook for Martin Luther King Jr. Day remains steadfast in its simplicity, sunshine, and a high of 47, followed by a mostly clear evening with a low around 28. It's a calm pattern that's set to continue through the week, with temperatures slowly ascending to the low 50s by Wednesday. Light and variable winds throughout the period suggest little to no disturbance in the haze's unhurried visit over the area.
