SALT LAKE CITY (
ABC4) – Happy Tuesday, Utah! Our Tuesday afternoon will feature plenty of sunshine and temperatures will jump into the upper 90s to around 100° for the Wasatch Front, with highs climbing near 105 across SW Utah. High pressure will keep things dry and mostly sunny Tuesday afternoon.
Wednesday brings the hottest temperatures of the week for the Wasatch Front. Highs will likely warm to 100-103 for parts of the Wasatch Front by midweek, with highs warming closer to 105+ for SW Utah. We will also see a bit of an uptick in humidity levels as moisture in the atmosphere begins to increase. This will likely lead to a few extra clouds in the sky, but still should remain mostly dry across the area.
Later this week, the heat will continue to build across southwest Utah. Highs will warm into the 106-108 range through Friday. Across the Wasatch Front, high pressure will continue to slide to our east allowing a surge of monsoon moisture to return across the region. This means increasing chances of rain starting Thursday and ramping up Friday through the upcoming weekend. Some of these scattered showers and storms could produce some decent downpours which could lead to some flash flooding issues across our state and national parks. High temperatures will cool back into the mid 90s for the Wasatch Front late week, with highs still 105-108 for SW Utah.
Long range, the latest outlook continues to hint at wetter than average conditions through most of next week. Thankfully, if this pattern holds this would be fantastic news to get some much-needed moisture into the ground. High temperatures look to remain at or below average for most of the next 7-14 days.
