Utah – Cold air settles low in the Salt Lake Valley early this morning, frosting windshields and keeping breath visible under streetlights. By midday, sunlight wins quickly, and the chill fades fast. February is shifting gears, and the change is easy to feel.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, dry and quiet weather dominates northern Utah. Morning temperatures start near the mid-30s, then climb into the mid-50s this afternoon. Winds remain light and variable, allowing sunshine to do most of the work.
Across the Wasatch Front, roads stay dry on I-15, I-80, and surface streets. Commuters see no weather-related delays, but shaded sidewalks may stay slick early. Snowmelt increases during the afternoon, especially near foothills and north-facing neighborhoods.
The warming trend strengthens into Friday and Saturday. Highs push toward the upper 50s, well above seasonal averages. Nights cool into the mid-30s, setting up a familiar February pattern where melting snow refreezes after sunset. Drivers should watch for slick patches near bridges and parking lots late at night.
Sunday holds steady with highs near 58 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Outdoor plans remain favorable, and air quality stays stable with light winds. For now, winter storms stay locked away from northern Utah.
Looking ahead, early next week brings a slight shift. Clouds increase Monday with a small chance of rain, then a rain-snow mix by Tuesday as temperatures cool. Even so, NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures returning later next week, hinting at more springlike afternoons ahead.
Enjoy the mild stretch, but stay alert for nighttime refreeze as snow continues to melt. Seeing icy spots early or late in the day? Let us know what conditions look like where you are.
