Utah – Bright sunshine and crisp mountain air are settling across Salt Lake City this afternoon, but a noticeable shift toward showers and unsettled spring weather is already developing just beyond the next day.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures reach near 71°F today with calm winds and clear skies across the Wasatch Front. Roads along I-15 and I-80 remain dry and easy to navigate, offering smooth travel through the afternoon.
That warmth builds into Thursday, with highs climbing to around 75°F. A slight 10% chance of thunderstorms develops later in the day, mainly after afternoon heating. Most areas stay dry, but brief isolated showers could form quickly.
By Friday, temperatures peak near 77°F with partly sunny skies. Conditions remain mostly stable during the day, though a 20% chance of showers develops by evening, signaling a more active pattern.
Saturday brings a clear transition. Rain chances increase sharply to as high as 70% by afternoon, with showers becoming more widespread and a few thunderstorms possible. Wet pavement and reduced visibility could impact travel on I-15, especially during heavier bursts.
Saturday night into Sunday keeps showers in place, with highs cooling into the low 60s. Roads may stay slick for extended periods, and outdoor plans could face interruptions.
Looking ahead, early next week remains unsettled with continued rain chances before gradual clearing and warmer temperatures return later in the week.
