Salt Lake City Braces for Wintry Weather Mix, Thanksgiving Travelers Advised to Monitor Forecasts

A wintry mix of weather is predicted for the next few days, according to a detailed forecast provided by Salt Lake City’s National Weather Service. The National Weather Service predicts that today will be overcast with a high of about 58 degrees for Salt Lake City residents. A blustery background to an otherwise cloudy day is expected as winds change from east-southeast to west-southwest in the afternoon.

According to the prediction, there is a 90% chance of precipitation tonight, with rain before 11 p.m., a rain-snow mix between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., and snow after 2 a.m. About 32 degrees should be the low. Less than a half inch of fresh snow accumulation is anticipated despite the wind, which is expected to turn northwest at around 5 mph in the evening, providing commuters with a real-world reminder of the season’s unpredictability.

With an 80% probability of precipitation, the NWS forecasts snow before 11 am on Sunday, followed by a combination of rain and snow. There shouldn’t be much further snow accumulation, and the high should be close to 44 degrees. With a low of about 26 degrees and partly cloudy sky as the evening wears on, the weekend will go quickly.

Monday is expected to offer largely sunny skies and a high of almost 47 degrees as we begin the workweek. But by Monday evening, there is a chance of rain again before 8:00 p.m., and it will shift into a rain-snow mix. As another round of rain and snow is expected on Wednesday, the NWS report advised anybody making travel plans for Thanksgiving to keep a careful check on the weather trends for the week.

On Thanksgiving Day itself, the weather looks to be largely sunny with a high of about 41 degrees and a minor chance of snow. By nightfall, there should be some clouds and a low of about 24. The story of a high close to 42 indicates that celebrants may find relief from the bad weather just in time for the holiday, even though Friday also looks to be a generally sunny day.
