Salt Lake City, UT – Spring warmth returns to Utah midweek with sunny skies and highs nearing the 80s in Salt Lake City before rain arrives Friday. Drivers and outdoor planners should prepare for a weather shift heading into the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday brings a high near 79°F with light winds and partly cloudy skies. Thursday climbs to 81°F—one of the warmest days this year—before clouds increase and a 30% chance of rain moves in late Thursday night. Showers are more likely on Friday, with temperatures dipping to the upper 50s.
Friday morning commuters along I-15 may encounter slick conditions as light rain spreads across Salt Lake County and nearby Wasatch Front areas. Motorists are urged to check traffic updates and reduce speeds during early showers.
Saturday stays cooler, with highs in the mid-50s and partly sunny skies, before another slight chance of rain Sunday and Monday. This back-and-forth pattern is typical for early spring in Utah, where warm afternoons often give way to quick weather changes.
