Salt Lake City, Utah – Soft clouds drift across the Wasatch Front this morning, filtering moonlight over a calm valley that’s still holding onto its early-fall glow. The calm will carry through Thursday, but a quiet weather pattern is beginning to unravel — setting up a shift toward cooler, wetter conditions by the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, Thursday stays mostly sunny with highs near 63°F and calm winds. Roads will stay dry across I-15 and I-80, offering excellent travel for commuters and early leaf-peepers. But by late Saturday, the first hints of a more unsettled pattern return — clouds thickening and light rain showers brushing through northern Utah.
Friday looks calm and pleasant, with highs near 64°F under mostly sunny skies. The air remains crisp, perfect for yard work, fall hikes, and early Halloween setups. By Saturday, however, moisture builds back into the region. Light rain may develop late in the day, especially along the benches and higher foothills, signaling a brief shift to cooler air.
Sunday marks the biggest change: highs drop to the mid-50s, and widespread showers could dampen outdoor plans across the Wasatch Front. Rainfall totals appear light, but breezy conditions could make the day feel cooler — the first real taste of November weather creeping in.
Looking beyond the weekend, sunshine quickly rebounds by Tuesday, with highs warming back into the 70s. Still, long-range models hint at a colder trough arriving just before Halloween, which could bring mountain snow and the season’s first true frost risk for the northern valleys.
