Friday’s forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies and a high around 65, setting up a wetter stretch, with showers possible, as listed in the National Weather Service’s Utah forecast.
Rain Arrives In Waves
Friday could bring showers, with rain and thunderstorms remaining possible Friday night and a low near 47. Saturday may offer a relative lull, though spotty or scattered showers remain possible, with a high around 63, according to the National Weather Service’s Utah forecast.
Sunday is expected to be wetter, with precipitation likely.
Sunday Brings The Wettest Stretch
Sunday is shaping up as the main weather story, with rain likely. The high should reach only 53, with a 100% chance of precipitation, according to the National Weather Service forecast; rain could be moderate to heavy.
The storm system will also bring accumulating snow to Utah’s mountains, with snow levels starting around 8,000 to 9,000 feet and potentially dropping as low as 6,500 feet by Monday morning, the National Weather Service forecast discussion says. The unsettled pattern is expected to continue into Monday.
Forecast Uncertainty Beyond Wednesday
Rain should mostly end Monday morning, with a high near 54. Following the stormy weekend outlook Hoodline reported earlier this week, considerable uncertainty remains about how the pattern evolves beyond Wednesday, with low confidence for precipitation later next week, as the National Weather Service forecast discussion notes.
The forecast report lists no active watches or warnings for the Salt Lake City area, but Sunday’s rain could make roads slick and create difficult conditions near mountain passes. Drivers and outdoor planners should keep an eye on updated forecasts as the weekend system approaches.
The alert picture differs by location: the National Weather Service lists no alerts for Salt Lake County over the next five days, while its broader forecast discussion highlights a higher flash-flood threat in southern Utah. That distinction matters for weekend plans beyond the metro, especially in places already affected by recent rain. Salt Lake County’s NWS alert page shows no county alerts; the regional discussion identifies southern Utah as the sharper flood concern.
