SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Wasatch Front wakes to crisp, clear air and pale light over the valley, a calm start that belies a change on the way. Temperatures in the mid-30s this early morning will quickly climb into the upper 50s under full sun, signaling a stretch of late-fall warmth before a new winter tease arrives later in the week.
From Monday through Veterans Day, expect sunny skies and calm winds—ideal for parades, outdoor gatherings, or leaf cleanup across northern Utah. Afternoon highs will climb from the low 60s Monday to mid-60s Tuesday, with Wednesday peaking near 68°F, about ten degrees above normal for early November. Evenings stay cool, dipping into the upper 30s and low 40s, but travel along I-80 and I-15 should remain smooth through midweek.
However, changes loom beyond midweek. A Pacific system is expected to push inland by Thursday night, bringing increasing clouds and a chance of rain across the Salt Lake Valley. Colder air filters in Friday, and snow levels could lower to near 4,000 feet, hinting at light accumulation in higher suburbs and the benches. The Wasatch Range will likely see the first notable snow of November, a key early-season shift for skiers and holiday travelers.
Heading into the weekend, temperatures fall back into the low 50s, with showers and a rain-snow mix possible Saturday. For now, enjoy the clear, comfortable stretch before winter’s next move arrives from the west.
