SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Wasatch Range looms dark and still before sunrise, its ridges faintly outlined in cold, dry air. A thin layer of clouds drifts in from the west, hinting at Utah’s quick change of pace as the state heads into a classic early-November weekend—cooler, calmer, and bright.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, a brief round of showers could brush the metro area this morning before the system weakens and shifts east. Skies will gradually clear through the afternoon, with highs near 58°F and a light breeze shifting from southeast to west. Roads along I-80 and I-15 should remain mostly dry, though brief sprinkles may dampen pavement through midday.
Saturday begins the transition back to sunny stability, with clear skies, light winds, and highs in the mid-50s. Sunday climbs a bit higher, near 57°F, under full sun—ideal for hiking, raking leaves, or early holiday prep. Clear, crisp mornings will hover in the 30s, typical for November’s opening stretch.
By Monday, warmer air nudges north from the desert southwest, pushing temperatures into the low 60s. Veterans Day looks picture-perfect—sunny skies, mild breezes, and highs near 64°F—offering ideal conditions for outdoor ceremonies across the valley.
Beyond midweek, forecasters note a possible shift in upper-level patterns that could open the door for cooler, unsettled weather ahead of Thanksgiving. For now, Salt Lake City enjoys one of fall’s most balanced weekends—just enough chill to feel seasonal, but plenty of sun to keep the outdoors inviting.
