Rain and snow made for a slushy commute Friday morning, but the National Weather Service expected the white stuff to be gone by the afternoon. That does not, however, mean that Salt Lake City is done with precipitation — there’s plenty of that forecast for the next few days.
Temperatures are expected to reach about 50 Friday afternoon, with little to no snow accumulation. But rain showers are expected to continue in the afternoon, with a slight chance of thunderstorms.
The weather service is forecasting overnight lows in the 30s; it will still be cold when the Salt Lake Marathon gets underway at 7 a.m. Saturday. But the skies are expected to clear by the time the University of Utah’s spring football game kicks off at 11 a.m. at Rice-Eccles Stadium, with highs in the mid-50s in the afternoon. Temperatures will cool into the 40s during the Real Salt Lake-Orlando City game in Sandy at 7 p.m., but no rain is expected.
However, there’s a 30 percent chance of rain on Sunday, with highs in the mid-60s. That chance increases to 50 percent Sunday night, and rain is likely Monday morning, with showers continuing into Tuesday.
