After Monday's stormy turn, Salt Lake City is forecast to see mostly sunny skies Tuesday and climb to about 72 degrees, giving residents a brighter window for errands, commutes and outdoor plans before the next warm-up.
Sunny Tuesday, Breezier Afternoon
At Salt Lake City International Airport, winds are forecast to become elevated from the northwest Tuesday, with gusts up to 20 knots. The valley could see showers and thunderstorms Tuesday, the week's best opportunity for rain.
The broader Utah picture is more complicated. The National Weather Service Salt Lake City forecast called for widespread heavy precipitation Monday, with a Flood Watch extending into Tuesday morning. The NWS identifies a slight excessive-rainfall risk in southern Utah Tuesday, where widely scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecast. A Flood Watch remains posted for parts of central and southern Utah, so anyone driving south should check conditions before leaving.
A Fast Return To Summerlike Warmth
Tuesday night turns mostly clear with a low near 48, followed by sunny Wednesday and a high near 73. The forecast then reaches 83 Sunday and Monday, while overnight lows ease from the upper 40s into the mid-to-upper 50s.
The abrupt swing is the latest chapter in a weather week that went from storm concerns to blue-sky recovery in about 24 hours. Hoodline's Monday forecast detailed the wet start, but the latest outlook keeps Salt Lake City dry through the weekend even as southern Utah remains the main area to watch for heavy rain Tuesday.
