SALT LAKE CITY, UT — A soft layer of fog hugs the Salt Lake Valley as the early morning sky glows pale gold over the Wasatch. The calm is deceiving — it’s the quiet kind that settles in before late November’s temperature drop tightens its grip. For now, the air remains crisp but mild, perfect for leaf cleanup or early holiday errands before a colder turn arrives by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, Utah’s weather stays mostly tranquil through Monday with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s and chilly mornings near freezing. Calm winds and dry air dominate, offering clear skies for mountain drives and early Thanksgiving travel.
However, subtle shifts begin early next week as colder air slides in from the north, trimming temperatures and setting up frosty mornings across northern Utah by Tuesday. No major snow systems are expected immediately, but models hint at a potential pattern change after Thanksgiving, possibly bringing a “winter tease” with light mountain snow and a dip into below-normal temperatures heading into November 25th–December 3rd.
For travelers heading along I-80 or I-15, weather impacts remain minimal through the weekend, but packing extra layers is wise — morning lows will hover around 27–34°F by Tuesday.
