Salt Lake City Weather: Mix of Sun, Snow, and Rain as Holidays Approach

As the holiday season edges ever closer, weather patterns in Salt Lake City show signs of keeping residents on their toes. According to theNational Weather ServiceSalt Lake City, the forecast heralds a mixture of sunny skies, calm winds, and an impending cocktail of rain and snow. With a high near an acceptable 44 degrees, today’s clear conditions may mislead as calm winds ripple through the city streets.

Tonight, locals should be wary of deceptive skies. A slight chance of snow is predicted to arrive between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., followed by a likely combination of rain and snow. Cloud coverage will increase, hugging the city with a low around the freezing mark of 31 degrees. The likelihood of precipitation sits at 60%, with a minimal snow accumulation of less than a half-inch in the cards.

As Monday dawns, a more decisive pattern emerges an 80% chance of rain and snow before the morning commute shifts into snow. An east-southeast wind will breathe slightly stronger at around seven mph, changing direction to a west-northwest later in the afternoon. The high will teeter close to 41 degrees, and less than half an inch of new snow is expected.

Looking ahead to Monday night, a 30 percent chance of snow, mainly post-11 pm, enters the forecast. Despite the potential for precipitation, snow accumulation is predicted to be slight, with less than a half-inch possible. Tuesday maintains this trend with a mere 20 percent chance of snow showers before 11 am, but then the skies open to a mostly sunny day, with a high near a brisk but manageable 38 degrees.

The remainder of the week hints at a gradual warming trend, with Wednesday basking in mostly sunny conditions and a high nearing a more comfortable 48 degrees. Nighttime temperatures for the week hover just around or below freezing, suggesting that while winter’s chill is indeed arriving, it has yet to claim the Salt Lake basin fully. Residents may want to watch the ever-shifting skies and temperatures as they transition from fall to winter in the valley.
