SALT LAKE CITY – The Wasatch Front wakes to damp sidewalks and low clouds this morning after a quick burst of light rain overnight. The air feels cool and still, setting the stage for a quiet but hazy week ahead across northern Utah.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, spotty showers will fade early Monday, giving way to gradual clearing by afternoon. Temperatures will reach near 50 degrees, but skies will remain filtered with lingering cloud cover. By late tonight, calm winds and clear conditions will allow patchy frost to form in valley low spots — a sign of stable, cooler air settling in.
Tuesday and Wednesday bring a stretch of mostly sunny skies, though haze and shallow inversions are likely to develop, especially in the Salt Lake Valley. Highs will climb into the low 50s to near 60 by midweek, while morning lows hover in the low to mid-30s. Residents with respiratory sensitivities should monitor air quality reports, as stagnant air may trap pollutants for a few days.
Heading into Thursday and Friday, a gentle warming trend takes hold with highs pushing into the upper 50s and lower 60s — ideal for Halloween festivities. Trick-or-treat weather looks dry and seasonably cool, with sunset readings in the mid-50s and light winds.
Longer-range guidance hints at a colder November pattern emerging this weekend, potentially opening the door to the first light snow of the season for the northern Utah mountains.
