Hey Salt Lake City! Looks like the weather is about to take a turn. After some nice, sunny days, we’re in for a change starting Monday night, March 3, 2025. Rain and snow will be moving in, so if you’ve been enjoying the warm weather, you might want to grab your jacket and an umbrella. Here’s what to expect:
What’s Coming Up?
Here’s the scoop on the weather for the start of the week:
-
Monday, March 3: We’ll start the day with some morning rain which will clear up by the afternoon, but clouds will stick around. The high will be around 52°F (11°C), and it’ll cool down to about 35°F (2°C) at night. If you’ve got evening plans, bring a light jacket since it’ll be a bit cooler than usual.
-
Tuesday, March 4: This day looks like the wettest one of the week. We’re expecting a mix of rain and snow, especially in the morning. So if you’re headed out early, you might want to prepare for slushy roads and possibly even snow. The high will only be about 48°F (9°C), and lows will dip to 33°F (1°C), so it’s definitely going to feel cooler. Keep that umbrella handy!
-
Wednesday, March 5: Things will calm down a bit. We’ll see clouds mixed with some sunshine, and temperatures will climb to 51°F (11°C) during the day. But it’ll still be a bit chilly in the morning and evening with lows of around 33°F (1°C).
What Does This Mean for You?
If you’ve got plans this week, here’s how the changing weather could affect them:
Outdoor Plans:
If you were hoping to get outside for a hike or some outdoor fun, Monday and Tuesday might not be the best days for it. Rain and snow will make things a bit messy, especially on Tuesday. Be prepared with waterproof gear—boots, jackets, and definitely an umbrella. You might want to reschedule any big outdoor activities until Wednesday when the weather clears up a little.
Driving:
If you’re planning to hit the road, keep in mind that snow and rain could lead to slippery roads, especially early Tuesday morning. If you’re driving, especially on bridges or overpasses, take it slow and safe. Leave yourself extra time to get where you’re going because the weather could slow things down.
At Home:
If you’re staying cozy inside, make sure your heating system is up and running since it’s going to be chilly at night. Also, check your gutters to make sure they’re clear so rainwater doesn’t cause flooding. It’s the perfect excuse to curl up inside with a warm drink and a good book!
Looking Ahead
After the messy weather on Tuesday, things should clear up a bit:
-
Wednesday, March 5: Expect clouds mixed with sunshine, with highs around 51°F (11°C). It’s not going to be super warm, but it’ll definitely be an improvement from the rain and snow earlier in the week.
-
Rest of the Week: Temperatures will stay cool, but we’ll get a little more sunshine as we move through the week.
Embrace the Spring Transition!
Utah’s spring weather can be a little unpredictable, but that’s part of the charm! While the rain and snow might not be ideal for outdoor adventures, it’s a great excuse to snuggle up inside and enjoy the change in seasons.
