Utah — Sunshine and comfortable November temperatures will give way to a wet Saturday across Salt Lake City, with rain chances climbing to 100% and temperatures dropping into the lower 50s.
The approaching system could bring slick highways, reduced visibility and a noticeable weekend cooldown across the Salt Lake Valley.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, rain is expected Saturday, Nov. 14, with precipitation developing before 11 a.m. and showers possibly continuing afterward.
The latest outlook calls for rainfall totals between one tenth and one quarter inch, although thunderstorms could produce locally higher amounts.
Sunshine continues before Friday's weather change Wednesday brings sunny skies and highs near 60 degrees, offering residents another pleasant November afternoon.
Salt Lake City International Airport reported clear skies and temperatures near 40 degrees early Wednesday, with visibility reaching 10 miles.
Thursday remains sunny, with highs near 60 degrees and calm winds.
Friday brings partly sunny skies and slightly warmer temperatures near 62 degrees.
However, conditions begin changing late Friday as another weather system approaches northern Utah.
Rain chances increase to 40% after 11 p.m., with temperatures falling toward 43 degrees.
Residents planning weekend travel should prepare for wet conditions beginning Saturday morning.
Saturday rain chances reach 100% Saturday becomes the week's biggest weather concern.
The National Weather Service projects a 100% precipitation probability, with highs reaching only 51 degrees.
That represents an 11 degree drop from Friday's expected high.
Rain could affect Interstate 15, Interstate 80 and other major routes throughout the Salt Lake Valley.
Drivers should allow additional travel time, particularly during periods of steady rainfall.
Saturday night brings additional rain chances, mainly before 11 p.m., with temperatures falling toward 38 degrees.
Although those temperatures remain above freezing in the city, colder conditions at higher elevations could create different travel concerns.
The supplied forecast does not indicate accumulating snow for Salt Lake City during Saturday's system.
Another round of rain possible next week Sunday offers a temporary improvement, with partly sunny skies and highs near 53 degrees.
Monday turns partly sunny, with temperatures recovering to approximately 57 degrees.
However, another chance of rain develops Monday night.
By Tuesday, the National Weather Service expects rain and cloudy skies, with highs near 50 degrees.
