Salt Lake City, Utah – Triple-digit UV index, dry skies, and rising heat will define Utah’s midweek weather, but a storm threat looms by Friday.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, a 20% chance of thunderstorms will develop Friday afternoon—primarily after 12 p.m.—as temperatures peak near 83°F. While the chance is slight, gusty winds and localized downpours could affect afternoon travel, especially along the I-15 corridor.
Until then, northern Utah remains under a dome of high pressure, delivering a stretch of sunny, dry days. Wednesday and Thursday bring highs in the upper 70s to mid-80s with calm winds shifting from northwest to west. Overnight lows stay mild, dipping into the mid-50s.

However, residents should stay weather-aware heading into Friday afternoon, especially if traveling or working outdoors. The dry spell breaks slightly Friday with that narrow storm window—be sure to check for updated advisories.
