Salt Lake City residents should brace for isolated thunderstorms late Sunday night before calmer, cooler weather settles in by Monday morning. Drivers on I-15 could encounter slick conditions if storms develop overnight, especially during the early commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, storms may pop up between midnight and 3 a.m., with only a 10 percent chance of rain. Winds will stay light, but sudden bursts near storms could briefly reduce visibility. Temperatures will drop to the upper 50s overnight before climbing only to the upper 70s on Monday.
The calmer start to the workweek offers relief after a warm Sunday high near 84. Sunshine will dominate Monday with mild conditions across northern Utah. West Valley City, Sandy, and Ogden will share similar trends, while higher elevations remain a few degrees cooler.
Roads should dry quickly Monday, but travelers should remain cautious if rain lingers into the morning commute. With more dry days ahead, residents can expect stable weather for most of the week.
By midweek, temperatures warm again, reaching the low 80s Wednesday and Thursday under mostly sunny skies. A more active pattern returns late in the week as showers and thunderstorms threaten by Friday and Saturday. Outdoor planners should keep a close eye on changing conditions toward the weekend.
Weather officials urge residents to avoid unnecessary travel during storm bursts and keep phones charged for possible weather alerts.
