Salt Lake City

Two weather systems are expected to move through Utah over Halloween weekend, with a lull between them, the Salt Lake Tribune reported Wednesday. The first, on Friday, should bring scattered showers mostly in southern Utah. [1]

Forecast models show scattered rain possible during peak trick-or-treating hours Saturday, with a heavier burst later that evening. The Halloween night forecast for Salt Lake City is about 54 degrees. [1]

The second system, arriving late Saturday and lasting into Monday, is the stronger of the two. Models range from up to a half-inch of rain across much of the state to an inch or more, with snow above 7,000 to 8,000 feet Sunday night and Monday morning. Valley temperatures should stay well above freezing. Timing and totals remain uncertain this far out. [1]
