Record-challenging heat gives way to unsettled weather Sunday night through Tuesday
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Happy Sunday, Utah! It's another sizzler of a day with record-challenging heat in the north. Northern and central Utah will run a few degrees warmer than yesterday while the south cools a few degrees. Sunday's highs will climb into the low and mid 90s for northern and central parts of the state, 80s in high terrain and southern valleys, and upper 90s to low 100s for the hottest spots in southern and eastern Utah. A few places could very easily get into record territory, Salt Lake City is forecasted to hit 95° which would break the 2020 record by a single degree. We'll have a mix of sun and clouds today with high-based thunderstorms popping up in the southern mountains around lunchtime. By the evening, more moisture pushes into the state bringing spotty showers to the West Desert and possibly the northern mountains. There's a chance that St. George and the Wasatch Front see an evening thunderstorm, but with a dry layer of air near the surface, much of it will evaporate before reaching the ground making for gusty winds at times. Monday has the highest chance of wet weather across the state, but southern and eastern Utah will be favored. On Monday morning we'll see showers on the Wasatch Front and we could see them bubble up again with the heat of the day, but by then most of the moisture will centered over eastern and southwest Utah. Monday also knocks temperatures back into the 70s for most of us and low to mid 80s for the warmest areas. Another low pressure system is hot on this system's heels, so that'll keep showers locked into the south through Tuesday, possibly Wednesday. After that we start warming back up, reaching the 90s in St. George and 80s for most valleys by the latter half of the workweek.

End of the month wrap-up — a closer look at May's weather
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — We made it through May! The first two-three weeks of the month were pretty typical for this time of year, with on-and-off showers and temperatures flip-flopping from hot to cool. The last 10 days dried out and warmed up, which threw our seasonally normal stretch off track. Salt Lake City only saw rain six out of the 31 days, and over half of our total monthly rain fell on the 18th alone. After that, we saw no measurable moisture in Salt Lake City. We closed out the month with 1.26 inches of rain, but the average total precipitation is 1.82 inches. While Salt Lake City itself stayed on the dry end, a lot of locations were much closer to average, and southern Utah actually far surpassed their average total rainfall. Cedar City averages 0.93 inches in May but over doubled that with 1.99 inches. Meanwhile, St. George more than tripled their average of 0.32 inches with 1.15 inches this month! So overall, we didn't do too bad in the precipitation department. Unfortunately, it still wasn't enough to break the extreme drought in southwest Utah. Temperatures were a bit of a roller coaster for the first three weeks. The most significant drop was between the 12th and 13th when Salt Lake City dropped from 89° to the mid 50s. The last week of the month had more consistently toasty temperatures and brought Salt Lake's first 90 degree day and St. George's first 100 degree day. Salt Lake hit its first 90 on May 29th, which is 10 days ahead of the typical timeline, and St. George hit 100 the next day, putting it six days ahead of schedule. Ultimately, Salt Lake City had an average temperature of 63.6° (including overnight lows), which is a little more than three degrees above average. The same is true for high temperatures — we averaged a high of 75° while the 30-year-average is 72°. We'll see what June has to offer!

Record-challenging heat on deck before more active weather conditions
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Happy Saturday, it's a blazing hot start to the weekend with temperatures even warmer than yesterday! That'll translate to highs in the low to mid 90s for most Utahns, 80s in higher terrain, and another day well into the triple-digits for Washington County. Both Salt Lake City and St. George will come within a degree or two of the daily heat records. St George's record of 105° was set way back in 1910 while Salt Lake's record of 95° was set in 1997. By Sunday we start to see a shift in the weather pattern down south while northern Utah stays hot. Southern Utah will drop by about 10° with highs in the 80s, 90s for hot spots. Isolated afternoon thunderstorms could start popping up in southern Utah's higher terrain and the West Desert on Sunday, and by the evening there's a decent chance southern and central Utah valleys will join in the wet weather. Northern Utah will have similar temperatures with a forecasted high of 95° in Salt Lake City, which if hit, will break the old record by a single degree set back in 2020. On Monday, moisture pushes further into the Beehive State bringing scattered thunderstorms to southern, central, and eastern Utah, but they'll be more isolated in nature towards the north. In addition to wetter weather, we'll also see cooler temperatures falling into the 70s for most, and 80s for the typical warm areas. On Tuesday, lingering moisture could spell a few more showers in northern Utah, but eastern and southern Utah keep isolated showers locked in. Things start warming back up and drying out by midweek! We'll keep you posted on the latest developments in our 4Warn Weather forecast both on-air and online, we are Good4Utah!
