Saturday morning at the airport was clear and cool, with temperatures around 45 degrees. Sunday is expected to bring southeasterly winds at KSLC after 02Z, mostly sunny skies and an afternoon high near 70.
The National Weather Service has no watches, warnings or advisories posted for the area. Sunday night will be partly cloudy with a low near 49, followed by another mostly sunny day Monday and a high around 70.
Warm Start, Then A Stormier Turn
Tuesday brings a slight chance of rain before noon, followed by a chance of showers and thunderstorms. The high should reach about 66 degrees, while Wednesday brings possible showers and thunderstorms from the morning and a high near 56.
By Thursday, the valley remains in the wetter pattern, with rain possible before noon and showers and thunderstorms becoming likely later in the day. Friday will be markedly cooler, with rain followed by more showers and thunderstorms and a high near 53, a sharper turn than the sunny stretch outlined in Hoodline’s earlier forecast.
Mountain Snow Possible Late Week
Higher elevations could see accumulating snow as colder air arrives Thursday into Friday, with roughly 3 to 6 inches possible above 9,500 feet, according to National Weather Service Salt Lake City. Salt Lake Valley residents should expect a chilly, unsettled finish to the week, and Saturday brings a slight chance of morning rain before skies turn mostly sunny.
For outdoor plans, Sunday through Wednesday offer the best window for mild temperatures and mostly dry conditions. Keep rain gear handy for Thursday and Friday, when the forecast shifts from patio-friendly October weather to a decidedly wetter fall setup.
