Salt Lake City is waking Wednesday, October 14, under cloudy skies near 45°F, with a chilly, damp start before the valley tries to claw its way into the mid-50s. Light rain is likely early, and isolated showers may pop up again through the afternoon, so the morning commute gets the umbrella slot while the evening looks easier.
Showers Linger Before A Brighter Thursday
The National Weather Service forecast calls for a high near 56°F Wednesday, with a 20% chance of rain and northwest winds. Skies should turn partly sunny at times, but temperatures will ease into the low-to-mid 50s during afternoon hours rather than delivering a genuine warmup.
Wednesday night should be clear with a low around 40°F. The latest outlook follows Hoodline’s earlier storm forecast, but the focus is now shifting from wet weather to a long dry stretch. Some outlying Utah valleys could still flirt with freezing temperatures Wednesday and Thursday mornings, while no active alert is listed for the Salt Lake City forecast point.
Sunny Stretch Builds Into The Weekend
Thursday looks like the payoff: sunny and near 64°F, followed by highs around 67 Friday and 68 Saturday and 69 Sunday. Monday could reach 72°F under sunny skies, with precipitation chances increasing beginning Tuesday.
Overnight lows stay crisp, generally near 40°F through Thursday night before edging into the mid-to-upper 40s this weekend. For Salt Lake City residents, Wednesday calls for a jacket and maybe a compact umbrella; after that, sunglasses take over the forecast.
