Light rain is already falling across Salt Lake City early Saturday, with temperatures around 46 degrees and a much wetter day ahead. Rain is expected to continue through the afternoon before tapering, keeping Saturday plans on the soggy side.
Saturday Rain Tapers Into Evening Clouds
The National Weather Service expects rain before 5 p.m., a high near 49, and temperatures sliding toward 47 in the afternoon. Rain chances start near 100% and ease toward 70% in the afternoon; the National Weather Service forecasts 0.25 to 0.7 inches for most valleys.

Mountain snow is the bigger concern outside the valley, especially at higher elevations. A winter weather advisory remains in effect through 11 a.m. Saturday for southern Utah mountains, while Salt Lake City itself is expected to see rain rather than accumulating snow today.

Sunday Brings A Brief Weather Reset
Saturday night should turn partly cloudy, with a low near 34. Sunday is forecast to be mostly sunny and warmer, reaching near 55, followed by a partly sunny Monday with a high around 58. It is a short break, but a useful one for anyone hoping to get outside before the next storm arrives.
Colder Storms Target Utah Next Week
A slight chance of rain arrives after 11 p.m. Monday, followed by a rainy Tuesday with a high near 50. By Tuesday night, rain could mix with snow as temperatures fall to the mid-30s, and slight chances of rain and snow linger Wednesday. The National Weather Service says snow levels could drop to about 4,800 feet in northern Utah, increasing the odds of more substantial mountain accumulation.

Another storm is projected Thursday into Friday, when rain and snow are both in the forecast. Highs may stay in the low-to-mid 40s, lows could fall near 30, and up to an inch of new snow is possible in the valley forecast period. The latest outlook is a sharper turn from Hoodline's earlier forecast, which focused mainly on the weekend storm and brief Sunday rebound.
