SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Early morning light breaks over the Wasatch Mountains, casting gold across clear skies and calm valleys. It’s a serene start to the week — the kind that invites runners, hikers, and commuters alike to enjoy one last stretch of dry, warm air before the next system takes shape midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, temperatures climb into the upper 60s and lower 70s through Tuesday under mostly sunny skies. Winds will remain light from the southeast, making for smooth travel along I-15 and I-80 through much of northern Utah. Air quality stays good, and no major weather disruptions are expected before Wednesday evening.
By late Wednesday, clouds begin to thicken across the Wasatch Front as a weak Pacific system edges inland. Scattered light rain could reach the valleys by late night, with slightly higher totals possible in the canyons and benches. No snow is expected at valley level yet, but forecasters say this pattern marks the first early-November sign of seasonal transition — the kind that hints at colder intrusions later in the month.
Residents planning outdoor work or leaf cleanup should take advantage of the calm stretch through Tuesday. A cooler, damp period may follow Thursday morning, with highs only in the upper 50s.
Meteorologists note that La Niña remains active, often bringing Utah sharp swings between mild sunshine and quick-moving cold fronts during early winter. For now, the first week of November looks pleasant but short-lived — with that familiar chill not far behind.
