Hot Wednesday afternoon, but cooler and wetter conditions return through next week

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Happy Wednesday, Utah! Our 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 Wednesday afternoon, with highs warming closer to 105+ for SW Utah. The previous record high for SLC Wednesday is 103°. We may come close to tying or breaking the record. 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. A spotty pop-up will be possible for parts of far NW Utah and S. central Utah this afternoon.

Later this week, the heat will continue to build across southwest Utah. Highs will warm into the 106-108 range through Friday. An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect for Lower Washington County due to the prolonged period of stifling conditions.

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 afternoon across the mountains and ramping up Friday through the upcoming weekend across all of the Beehive state. 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. A marginal risk for flooding develops across S. UT by Friday afternoon, spreading north across the state by the end of the weekend. The overall pattern screams wetter than average conditions for Utah through most of next week.  High temperatures will cool back into the mid 90s for the Wasatch Front late week, with highs still 105-108 for SW Utah. By next week, highs could only be in the 90s for SW Utah with highs only in the 80s for parts of the Wasatch Front.

  • Another triple-digit day Wednesday
  • Clouds Increase Wednesday afternoon
  • Monsoon moisture returns Thursday
  • Sct’d storms Thursday-Weekend
  • Isolated Flash Flooding S. UT
  • Heat Alerts for SW Utah Thursday-Friday
  • Remains wet/active into next week
