Salt Lake City is soaking up a mild Saturday, February 28, with mostly sunny skies and afternoon highs near 63°F. Conditions should stay dry through much of the day, though clouds will move in later and a slight chance of light rain arrives this evening.
Afternoon And Evening
Look for sunshine and a light south breeze through the afternoon, with temperatures peaking around 63°F and easing back into the low 60s by late day. Clouds will thicken after mid-afternoon, and forecasters say a slight chance of light rain will begin after 5 p.m. Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
Monday Into Tuesday
A more organized system moves over northern Utah on Monday, March 2, bringing a higher chance of steady rain and scattered thunderstorms and a high near 58°F. Rain is most likely from Monday into Tuesday, with new rainfall amounts of around a quarter to a half inch possible in the valley and heavier totals in the mountains. Most valley snow is unlikely, while accumulating snow is expected mostly above about 8,500 to 9,000 feet, according to the National Weather Service.
What To Expect For Your Commute
Plan for wet roads and slower canyon travel on Monday. Localized downpours and brief thunderstorms could slow evening commutes. Salt Lake City International should be largely unaffected through Saturday, but allow extra time if you travel Monday and check live road or airline updates before heading out.
Quick Tips
Bring a light waterproof layer for Monday and keep an umbrella handy for late-day showers. Check the National Weather Service and local traffic pages for updates before driving or heading up into the canyons.
