Utah – Pale winter light spills across the Wasatch Front early, and the air feels surprisingly mild for February. Salt Lake City warms quickly today, climbing near 61 degrees under mostly sunny skies before clouds begin to regroup.
This calm start masks a fast-changing pattern. By Monday, rain chances increase across the valley as a Pacific system pushes inland. Roads may turn damp by late morning, especially along I-15 and I-80, where visibility can drop during passing showers.
Temperatures slide with the rain. Highs fall from the low 60s today to near 50 degrees Monday, then into the upper 40s Tuesday. While this is rain for most valley locations, colder nighttime temperatures raise an important concern. After sunset, lows dip into the mid-30s, close enough for slick spots to form if roads remain wet.
Meteorologists are now tracking a wetter midweek setup. Rain becomes more likely Wednesday, with chances rising near 70 percent. Light precipitation may linger into Wednesday night, when temperatures drop toward the low 30s. For now, snow stays confined to higher elevations, but drivers heading into the canyons should remain alert.
Plan extra time for commuting early this week. Wet pavement, variable visibility, and cooler air combine for slower travel conditions. Keep jackets and rain gear handy, even if the day begins dry.
Looking ahead to the 6–10 day window, a gradual warming trend returns late week into next weekend. Daytime temperatures edge back toward seasonal norms, hinting at a brief February thaw before the next system arrives.
