Muggy, stormy weather expected for Father's Day weekend
(PINPOINT WEATHER) — As we close out the week, we are dealing with more of the same across the Carolinas with locally heavy rain and thunderstorms along with miserable humidity. More of the same is on the way this weekend, with scattered showers and storms expected for both Saturday and Sunday with more heat and mugginess. This summer pattern looks to continue unabated through the end of next week, with no completely dry day until the end of next week. As for tonight and your Father's Day Weekend, scattered showers and storms are expected this evening with heavy rain and isolated flash flooding possible. Overnight lows will stay on the warm side thanks to showers and elevated humidity as temperatures will struggle to dip down below the 70-degree mark. Saturday and Father's Day will bring more of the same with afternoon showers and storms and tropical like conditions as highs push into the upper 80s and the humidity making it feel borderline intolerable outside. If you're looking to do anything outside with Dad this weekend, the best time will likely be the middle of the day when we should be dry. Heading into next week, more of the same is expected across the Carolinas with showers and storms possible in the afternoon, essentially every day of the week. Along with the possible wet weather is more heat and humidity, of course, with temperatures that could be pushing into the 90s as our weather starts to dry out.

Hazy sunshine expected through the weekend
SALT LAKE CITY () — Happy Friday, Utah! Friday afternoon will feature more sunshine and hot temperatures. A southwesterly breeze will help to keep some dust and haze in the air. Highs will warm into the mid-90s for the Wasatch Front to 101° for St. George. A stronger ridge of high pressure will settle overhead, leading to drier and hotter conditions just in time for Father's Day weekend. High temps will be in the mid to upper 90s for the Wasatch Front. Across southern Utah, high temps will warm between 100°-105°. The warm temperatures, low humidity levels, dry vegetation, and gusty southwest winds will lead to a critical fire danger developing across portions of central and southern Utah. Any outdoor burning will be highly discouraged. A weak trough may arrive early next week, knocking a few degrees off daytime highs, but overall, expect well-above average temperatures and mainly dry conditions to stick around through most of next week.
