Salt Lake City, UT — Utah faces sharp temperature shifts Tuesday as warm spring afternoons give way to chilly nights across Salt Lake City.
Tuesday’s high will reach 68°F under partly sunny skies before dropping to 45°F overnight, raising frost concerns for some areas. According to the National Weather Service, light winds from the northwest at 5 to 8 mph could enhance overnight cooling. Gardeners and commuters alike should prepare for rapid weather transitions, especially along key routes like Interstate 15.
By Wednesday, temperatures rebound to a mild high of 67°F under mostly sunny skies, offering a brief return to springlike conditions. The warmth continues into Thursday, peaking near 77°F before jumping to 82°F by Friday — the warmest day of the week.

The dramatic day-to-night swings are typical of early April in Utah’s high desert climate.
