SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Saturday begins on a quiet, chilled note across the Wasatch Front, with thin morning haze and temperatures in the 40s signaling a tranquil start before a more unsettled pattern arrives. After a bright, pleasant start to the weekend, expect clouds to thicken and spotty showers to develop late Sunday, ushering in a noticeable temperature slide and clearer, colder nights early next week.
Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City say a Pacific system will sweep across northern Utah late Sunday, bringing a 50–60% chance of rain through the evening. Brief, heavier bursts are possible along the I-15 corridor and over the east-side benches, and a few isolated thunderclaps may accompany the showers. The rain should wind down before sunrise Monday, leaving damp pavement, freshly fallen leaves, and a chilly northwest breeze in its wake.
Temperatures will step down from the upper 60s on Sunday to the lower 50s Monday. By early Tuesday, clear and calm conditions could allow readings to dip into the middle 30s, cold enough for localized frost in parts of Davis and Salt Lake counties. If you’re setting up early Halloween decor or tackling leaf cleanup, aim to work around Sunday’s rain window and plan for bundle-worthy mornings.
Following Monday’s cool-down, a stretch of sunshine and lighter winds settles in through midweek. Expect crisp, dry air—ideal for outdoor plans and likely perfect trick-or-treating weather by Friday evening.
A deeper November chill is lurking just beyond the short-term forecast.
