The bottom line? Hot, dry weather persists into next week.
Daytime highs will be in the upper 80s to low 90s, and upper 90s to low 100s for warm spots in southern and eastern Utah. Dry conditions are expected for today, but we can’t rule out a shower or dry thunderstorm in the northern mountains and the West Desert.
Dry thunderstorms can bring periods of gusty, erratic winds and cloud-to-ground lightning. Given the dry, hot, windy conditions and dry vegetation, there’s a decent chance that we see an elevated fire risk.
There’s no end to the heat and not much moisture for the foreseeable future. On Friday, temperatures return to the mid-90s for most Utahns and triple-digits again for St. George. 90s and 100s are expected to hold on through the weekend and into the beginning of next week.
A prominent high-pressure ridge is in place, which is keeping us hot and acting as a storm block. Given the hot, dry weather over the next week, it’s important to stay mindful of sparks, outdoor fires, dragging chains, or anything else that could spark up a flame.
