Utah – Cold air pools across the valley this morning, frosting rooftops and stiffening fingers as the sun rises over the Wasatch. Streets remain dry, but the chill is unmistakable, especially in shaded neighborhoods and low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, temperatures started the morning in the mid-20s with light winds and partly cloudy skies. Conditions stay quiet and dry through the day, with highs reaching the mid-30s. No snow is expected in the metro, though mountain communities continue to see winter conditions at higher elevations.
Travel impacts remain limited, but icy patches may linger on untreated roads, sidewalks, and parking lots during early hours. Drivers should watch bridges and shaded stretches along I-15 and I-80, where cold pavement can stay slick longer than expected.
Sunday brings a similar pattern. Sunshine dominates, and highs climb toward the upper 30s. Overnight lows drop near 20, keeping frost concerns in place for early commuters and anyone heading out before sunrise. Dress in layers and allow extra time for vehicles to warm up.
A noticeable shift arrives Monday. High pressure strengthens, boosting temperatures into the mid-40s under sunny skies. Snowmelt increases during the afternoon, which raises the risk of refreezing after sunset. Be alert for evening slick spots, especially on side streets and driveways.
The warming trend continues into Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs pushing the upper 40s and near 50. Dry conditions persist, offering a break from winter storms impacting other parts of the country. Nights remain cool, but overall conditions turn more comfortable for outdoor plans.
Looking ahead, longer-range outlooks suggest near-normal temperatures late next week with limited precipitation chances across northern Utah.
