SALT LAKE CITY — Utah's record snowfall made headlines for weeks, but Tuesday the news was about the record broken for the high temperature in Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake City hit a whopping 83 degrees on Tuesday afternoon, breaking the previous record set in 1934.
We've now tied the record high temperature of 80F at KSLC previously set in 1934. With a few hours of optimal heating and continued warm southerly flow, chances are we will see a few additional degrees through the afternoon. #utwx

Experts at the National Weather Service say the last time temperatures were this warm was in October 2022 and many Utahns are ready to get back in the sunshine after an intense winter season.
Later in the week, rain and snow are again predicted in the valley and the mountains.
But not to worry, spring temperatures will return by the weekend, though no record-breaking weather is predicted—for now.
