SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Dawn breaks softly over the Wasatch, the air crisp but calm as the valley glows beneath a slate-blue sky. Streetlights flicker out one by one as the city wakes to another mild November morning — quiet now, but change may be just a few days away.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, sunny and seasonably warm conditions will dominate through Tuesday before a weak system slides through midweek, bringing the first slight chance of rain since late October. After morning clouds lift, highs will climb near 70°F Monday and again on Tuesday under mostly clear skies. Winds remain light, though breezes could increase slightly over the benches and canyons by late afternoon.
Wednesday brings a subtle shift. Clouds will thicken through the day as a Pacific trough edges eastward. Temperatures stay mild near 71°F, but by evening, a 30% chance of scattered rain showers develops — mainly north of the valley. The front is weak and moisture-limited, yet even a light sprinkle will mark a seasonal turning point as cooler air follows.
Thursday will feel more like classic November, with highs dipping into the upper 50s and lingering clouds across the Wasatch Front. By Friday, sunshine returns, though mornings trend cooler with lows near 40°F. The weekend looks pleasant and dry — a fine stretch for outdoor projects or early holiday travel — before models hint at another potential system early next week.
After weeks of steady fall warmth, Salt Lake City finally sees its first hint of November’s winter transition.
