Utah greets the morning with crisp air and a pale pink sunrise over the Wasatch. Temperatures sit near 32 degrees in Salt Lake City, and the air feels calm but cold enough for a light freeze on shaded sidewalks.
Skies stay mostly sunny today with highs climbing to 53 degrees. Sunday turns milder, reaching 56 under mostly cloudy skies. By Washington’s Birthday, temperatures peak near 60 degrees with partial sunshine. That brief February thaw will feel almost like early spring.
Changes arrive quickly Monday night. Rain develops with a 90% chance of precipitation and lows near 37. Roads may turn wet across I-15 and I-80 by late evening. Plan extra time if traveling after sunset.
Tuesday brings a sharper shift. Rain mixes with snow before 5 p.m., then periods of rain and snow continue into the evening. Highs drop to 47. By Tuesday night, snow becomes more likely as temperatures fall to around 32 degrees. That timing raises concerns for slick roads into early Wednesday.
Snow remains likely Wednesday with highs near 40. Additional chances for snow linger into Thursday, keeping daytime highs in the 30s. Even light accumulation can create icy patches when daytime melting refreezes after dark. Flash freezing is possible if wet pavement cools quickly.
President’s Day week starts mild but trends colder and more unsettled midweek. Looking ahead 6 to 10 days, temperatures may rebound closer to seasonal averages with hints of a broader warming trend across parts of the West.
