Salt Lake City residents could see a quick burst of rain and thunder Sunday afternoon before sunshine dominates much of the week. The brief storm chance may create slick spots for drivers along I-15 and neighborhood streets during peak weekend travel.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, isolated thunderstorms are possible after noon Sunday with gusty winds and brief downpours. Temperatures will rise to the low 80s before calming overnight under partly cloudy skies. Light south winds could shift northeast by evening.
Monday brings a return to drier conditions with highs near 79 and mostly sunny skies. Winds will remain light, though commuters should still monitor changing conditions during the morning rush. By Tuesday, sunshine strengthens with highs close to 79 again before climbing into the mid-80s by Thursday.
Daytime heat will stay mild for mid-September, giving Utahns a taste of early fall. Nights will cool quickly, dropping into the mid-50s, a reminder to keep jackets handy for evening events. The calm pattern will favor outdoor activities through midweek, but Sunday’s storm risk remains the key short-term concern.
Residents should avoid unnecessary driving during Sunday’s storms and secure outdoor items in case of strong gusts. The week ahead looks quiet, but updates remain possible if conditions shift.
