Salt Lake City, UT – A stretch of colder, cloudier weather is set to settle across northern Utah this week, bringing gusty winds and chilly nights to Salt Lake City. Commuters along I-15 should prepare for reduced visibility during early hours and heavier jackets with Tuesday temperatures peaking at only 46°F and falling to near freezing by night.
According to the National Weather Service, winds will pick up Tuesday morning from the northwest at 5 to 8 mph, gradually calming overnight. By Tuesday night, temperatures are expected to dip to 30°F under mostly cloudy skies, prompting caution for drivers and outdoor workers. Wednesday continues the cloudy trend, reaching a high near 48°F, before the sky clears slightly midweek.
While no major storms are forecasted, the persistent cloud cover and shifting winds could delay drying on roads and impact early morning commutes, especially along elevated routes and highways like I-15 and I-80. Residents are advised to check local traffic and weather alerts before traveling.
Looking ahead, Thursday and Friday will offer slightly warmer highs in the low-50s, with increasing sunshine by Friday afternoon. Overnight lows will stay in the 30s, so light frost may return to some valleys.
