concentration is moles per litre (volume), and as water gets hotter it expands creating more volume, while the salt content stays the same, so the concentration will decrease as same amount of moles but greater volume. (ignoring steam loss which will ofcourse decrease volume thus increasing concentration)

Salt concentration will increase until the solution becomes supersaturated.
At this point, salt will begin to precipitate from solution.
