Salt Lake City is getting one more warm push before the weekend changes the mood. Friday’s outlook includes an increased precipitation threat developing in the afternoon. Saturday will remain warm, with the threat continuing into Saturday.
Friday Turns More Unsettled
Friday afternoon brings an increased threat of precipitation that continues into Saturday.
Saturday will remain warm, with an increased threat of showers and thunderstorms. Southwest winds around 15 mph are forecast during the day, while conditions become more unsettled after sunset.
Saturday Night Brings The Biggest Weather Change
Saturday night will bring potentially strong winds. The National Weather Service says western valleys have roughly a 50% chance of seeing gusts above 45 mph for at least three hours from Saturday afternoon into Saturday night.
Sunday brings cooler conditions. No watches, warnings or advisories were posted for Utah in the latest outlook, but loose outdoor items may need to be secured before the wind picks up.
Monday Feels Like An Early Fall Reset
Monday will be sunny and noticeably cooler, with a high near 75 and light northwest winds. Specific valley highs for Tuesday and Wednesday are not provided. Tuesday night’s precipitation chance is not specified.
The new forecast sharpens the weekend turn described in an earlier Hoodline forecast: the heat holds through Saturday, but the strongest winds and the cooler air now look most likely from Saturday night into Sunday.
