Utah – Golden morning sun reflects off the Wasatch Mountains as Salt Lake City wakes to calm skies and cool early-March air. Temperatures will rise quickly today, bringing a comfortable springlike afternoon across northern Utah.
Commuters along I-15 and I-80 will see clear skies and dry pavement through the morning hours. Sunshine dominates the valley as temperatures climb toward the upper 60s by afternoon, making it one of the milder days of the week.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, highs will reach about 67°F today with light southeast winds near 7 to 9 mph shifting west later in the afternoon. Skies remain mostly sunny, creating ideal conditions for outdoor plans across the Salt Lake Valley.
Clouds begin increasing Tuesday as a weak system slides through the region. Temperatures dip slightly to around 58°F, and a mix of clouds and sun will spread across northern Utah. Winds may shift northwest later in the day as cooler air filters into the valley.
By Wednesday, a clearer but cooler pattern settles in. Afternoon highs hover near 57°F, about ten degrees cooler than today’s spring warmth. Crisp mountain air will return during the morning commute, especially across areas from West Valley City to Bountiful.
Nighttime temperatures will drop close to freezing Tuesday night, with lows near 32°F in parts of the valley. Drivers leaving early Wednesday should watch for isolated slick spots where moisture meets cold pavement.
The broader pattern still leans mild. Warmer air builds again by Thursday and Friday as sunshine returns and temperatures climb back into the mid to upper 60s.
With the first day of spring approaching March 20, the region appears headed toward a gradual warming trend.
