Salt Lake City woke to clear skies Sunday, with temperatures around 72 degrees and a fast climb toward 94. The morning looks dry and bright, but the forecast turns more unsettled after noon as a few showers and thunderstorms become possible.
Storm Chance Arrives After Noon
The chance of precipitation is 20% Sunday, with storms most likely during the afternoon and evening. The National Weather Service says northern Utah faces a slight risk of severe thunderstorms, with large hail and strong winds possible in the strongest cells.
Sunday night stays warm, with lows around 68 and a 30% chance of showers or thunderstorms from the evening through around midnight. Winds should otherwise remain light at roughly 5 to 6 mph, though storms could bring sudden, shifting gusts.
Heat Sticks Around Through Friday
Monday should be sunny and reach 93, followed by another 94 on Tuesday. Wednesday through Friday stay near 94 to 95 under mostly sunny skies, with only small rain chances; Saturday is forecast to top out near 93.
As the week dries out, fire-weather concerns rise across Utah. Drier air is expected to reduce storm coverage after Monday, while lower humidity and stronger southwest winds later in the week could create locally critical conditions, so outdoor flames and any lightning-related smoke deserve extra attention.
