Salt Lake City, Utah – Summerlike heat returns to northern Utah, but don’t let the sunshine fool you—storms may disrupt Salt Lake City by Mother’s Day.
According to the National Weather Service, high pressure will drive sunny, warm weather through Saturday, with Salt Lake City climbing to 88°F. However, by Sunday afternoon, a shift begins: thunderstorms are possible after noon, and rain could linger into Sunday night and Monday. Residents with outdoor Mother’s Day plans should prepare for changing skies and possible lightning.
The weather stays calm and dry through Friday, with highs climbing from the mid-70s to the low 80s. Saturday brings a peak of 87°F under continued sun. By Sunday, clouds increase, and the risk of showers and afternoon thunderstorms returns. That threat continues into Monday, with rain possible throughout the day and a high near 83°F.
While there are no active watches yet, local authorities advise monitoring road conditions, especially along I-15 and routes into the Wasatch Mountains, where slick pavement could form during storm bursts. Plan alternate indoor activities and stay weather-aware if hosting Mother’s Day celebrations outdoors.
