SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Thick fog blankets the valley this morning, cloaking streets and mountain views in a silvery haze. The air feels still and chilled near 39°F, with visibility dropping under a half mile in some low-lying areas. Drivers heading along I-15 and I-80 should take it slow, as dense fog lingers through the early morning commute.
The National Weather Service reports that a Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. MST, after which skies gradually clear. Light winds and a stable air mass are trapping cool, moist air near the surface — a classic late-November setup for northern Utah. Once the fog burns off, temperatures will climb toward the lower 50s under mostly sunny skies, setting the tone for a calm, mild weekend.
Saturday and Sunday stay bright and seasonably cool, with highs near 52°F and lows dipping into the 30s. By Monday, conditions remain steady before a more active pattern begins to take shape midweek. A Pacific system is expected to slide eastward Tuesday night into Wednesday, bringing a slight chance of rain and snow across the Wasatch Front.
For Thanksgiving travelers, this is a window to prepare. While Salt Lake City should stay mostly dry through early next week, forecasters warn of heavy snow potential building across portions of the Rockies, Midwest, and Great Lakes from November 25 through December 3 — a setup that could affect national holiday travel routes.
