SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – A chilly, gray start to Sunday gives way to a bright and warming Fall week across northern Utah. Temperatures will climb sharply through Tuesday, setting up several dry, sunny days that are perfect for travel, outdoor projects, or early Halloween decorating.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, isolated showers may linger early Sunday morning, but skies quickly clear as winds shift northwest near 5 mph. Highs remain near 59°F Sunday before sunshine dominates and temperatures rise into the 60s and 70s through midweek. Drivers along I-15 and I-80 can expect clear, dry pavement and calm conditions through at least Thursday.
Cool mornings will still require a jacket, with lows in the low 40s Monday and Tuesday. Gardeners should continue protecting tender plants as patchy frost is still possible in outlying valleys. By Wednesday, highs reach the mid-70s, signaling one of the warmest stretches of early October.
Meteorologists say the region will stay dry into late week, offering prime weather for fall leaf viewing in Big Cottonwood Canyon or outdoor events around the Salt Lake Valley. Air quality remains good, with light winds and no storm systems in sight until next weekend.
Residents are urged to enjoy the calm pattern while it lasts — mid-October systems often bring sharp drops in temperature and the season’s first mountain snow.
