Daytime weather is expected to stay mostly sunny through Wednesday and partly sunny Thursday, while precipitation chances rise Friday and into the weekend. Salt Lake City starts the week on a mild note, with Monday’s high near 65, but rain could arrive overnight.
A Mild Monday Gives Way To An Overnight Rain Chance
Monday is expected to be mostly sunny, with east-southeast winds of 5 to 13 mph and a high near 65. Conditions should remain generally benign into early evening.
The chance of rain rises to 30% between roughly 9 p.m. Monday and 3 a.m. Tuesday. Skies are expected to be mostly cloudy, with a low around 44 degrees.
Mostly Sunny Midweek, Then Rain Chances Rise
Tuesday should be mostly sunny for much of the day, with a high near 61, though light precipitation is possible Tuesday night, according to the National Weather Service.
Wednesday is expected to be mostly sunny near 61 degrees, followed by a partly sunny Thursday near 65. Precipitation chances increase Friday and continue into the weekend.
Rain Chances Extend Into A Cooler Weekend
Precipitation could begin as early as Friday, when the high is forecast near 60. Rain is likely Saturday, with a high near 56. Sunday is expected to be the wettest day, with partly sunny skies and a high near 57.
The broader northern Utah outlook calls for a more substantial storm system late in the week, potentially bringing widespread precipitation and raising flash-flood concerns in vulnerable areas. No watches or warnings are currently posted for Salt Lake City, according to The Weather Channel. The forecast differs from Hoodline's earlier forecast, which emphasized a sunnier start to the week.
Floodplain and Drainage Resources
For location-specific information, the Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities provides a floodplain map showing floodplain areas within Salt Lake County. The department says it maintains a citywide storm drain system and routinely cleans drains, though that general information does not indicate whether this forecast will cause flooding; residents can consult the stormwater and flood-control information for more about those resources.
