Salt Lake City is starting Sunday with cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-40s, but the day should brighten into a partly sunny afternoon near 57 degrees. The calm weather is a brief pause, with a warmer Monday ahead before rain chances return and a wetter pattern takes over late in the week.
Sunday Stays Mild And Mostly Dry
Sunday's high should reach near 57 degrees, with temperatures easing slightly during the afternoon and light northwest winds generally between 3 and 8 mph. The chance of rain remains below 10%, according to the National Weather Service's Salt Lake City office. Sunday night will stay partly cloudy, with a low near 41 degrees.
Monday Warms Up Before Rain Returns
Monday looks like the warmest day in the near-term forecast, with partly cloudy skies and a high in the lower 60s. Rain chances climb to about 40% Monday night, mainly after midnight, when temperatures dip to around 43 degrees.
Late Week Brings The Wet Weather
Tuesday should turn mostly sunny with a high near 57, followed by skies that brighten Wednesday with a high around 63, then partly sunny skies and a high near 65 Thursday. The forecast takes a sharper turn Friday, with rain possible before noon and showers and thunderstorms likely later in the day, followed by more showers or storms Friday night.
Precipitation could extend into the weekend. That wetter outlook extends beyond the shorter weekend forecast covered in Hoodline's previous update.
Mountains Could See A Different Forecast
The broader northern Utah outlook calls for light precipitation near Monday night's cold front, with snow levels generally above 7,000 feet. That could mean light snow in the mountains while Salt Lake City's valley floor mainly sees rain or stays dry.
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for the Salt Lake City area. For local plans, Sunday and Monday offer the best window for outdoor errands and activities before the umbrella becomes a more useful accessory later in the week.
