Warm, sunny, weather with pop-up mountain showers possible
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Happy Tuesday, Utah! We're going to be looking and feeling much more like summer around the Beehive state as we move throughout the upcoming week.
Look for mostly sunny skies and hot temperatures. Highs will warm into the low to mid-90s through midweek along the Wasatch Front. Highs will be around 100° for SW Utah.
Daytime heating and a little residual moisture will lead to a few isolated pop-up showers and storms, primarily over the higher terrain of central and southern Utah, Tuesday afternoon. The overall rain chance for the rest of the area will remain very low.
A disturbance will graze northern Utah on Wednesday, which could help to spark a few more isolated storms over northern portions of the state. This system may have enough dynamics to produce an isolated strong storm or two on Wednesday afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined the northern third of Utah under a Marginal 'level 1' risk for strong winds with any of these storms that may develop on Wednesday.
Once the midweek system clears, look for a stronger ridge of high pressure to settle overhead, leading to drier and hotter conditions just in time for our Father's Day weekend. High temps will be in the mid to upper 90s for the Wasatch Front. High temps across southern Utah 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.

Donald Trump's Military Parade Could Be Rained Out
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Attendees of the upcoming military parade celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary may need to watch the skies and pack rain gear, as showers are forecasted to affect the Washington, D.C. area on Saturday. Why It Matters The parade, which will take place on Flag Day and coincides with President Donald Trump's 79th birthday, is expected to be attended by hundreds of thousands, D.C. officials told reporters, according to CBS News. During his first term as president, Trump attempted to organize a similar event after being impressed with a military-led display to mark Bastille Day in Paris during a visit to France, though the plans were canceled following criticism. A U.S. Army reviewing stand being built in front of the White House ahead of the Army's 250th birthday parade on June 11, 2025. A U.S. Army reviewing stand being built in front of the White House ahead of the Army's 250th birthday parade on June 11, To Know In its forecast for June 14, the National Weather Service (NWS) predicted a 60 percent chance of precipitation, with a thunderstorm possible after 2 p.m. Skies were expected to be mostly cloudy, with a high of 88 degrees Fahrenheit, it added. For Saturday night, the NWS said showers would also be likely, and an additional thunderstorm would be possible after 2 a.m. The sky would remain mostly cloudy, it said. AccuWeather meteorologist Alex DaSilva told Newsweek that the outlet was forecasting "times of clouds and sun with the odd thunderstorm in spots." Onlookers could expect humid conditions, although the temperature would be slightly below average for this time of year. "While it doesn't look like a washout, a few thunderstorms can be around especially during the middle to late afternoon hours," DaSilva said. Rainfall totals could be between one-tenth and one-quarter of an inch, DaSilva added. Inclement weather marked both of Trump's inaugurations, with rain beginning as the Republican began his 2017 speech, and 2025's address being moved indoors due to winter weather. What People Are Saying AccuWeather meteorologist Alex DaSilva told Newsweek: "Spectators will be urged to keep an eye to the sky just in case there is lightning and to maybe bring a raincoat in case of a downpour." President Donald Trump, on Truth Social: "We're honoring the 250th anniversary of the greatest fighting force in history, the United States Army. We will celebrate a spectacular military parade in Washington DC, like no other. "For two and a half centuries, the men and women of America's army have dominated our enemies and protected our freedom at home. This parade salutes our soldiers' remarkable strength and unbeatable spirit. You won't want to miss it! Just don't miss this one. It's gonna be good. "Thundering tanks and break-taking flyovers will roar through our capital city as nearly 7,000 soldiers march in historic uniforms from every major war since the Revolution. Join us for this once-in-a-lifetime celebration. I think it's gonna be better and bigger than any parade we've ever had in this country." He added: "I'm going to be there. I'll be watching the entire event. It's gonna be something very, very special." What Happens Next Forecasts are subject to change and often become more accurate nearer to the date in question.

Code Orange Air Quality Alert issued for parts of DC region Thursday
WASHINGTON - A hot and humid Thursday will bring a Code Orange Air Quality Alert for parts of the Washington, D.C., area, as temperatures climb into the 90s. Morning temperatures will start in the upper-60s to low-70s, with humidity increasing throughout the day. High pressure overhead will push out lingering Canadian wildfire smoke but bring in more humid air. Skies will remain mostly sunny, but area residents should take precautions, stay hydrated, and limit time outdoors due to air quality concerns. Friday and weekend outlook What we know Friday will be hot and humid, with highs in the upper 80s. Scattered showers and storms could develop in the afternoon, helping keep temperatures below 90 degrees. There will be the chance of pop-up storms after 2 p.m., though not all areas will see rain. Saturday and Sunday will see increased storm chances with more unsettled conditions. Anyone with outdoor Father's Day plans should check the forecast, as storm chances remain through Sunday and into early next week. A code ORANGE air quality alert means that air pollution concentrations within the region may become unhealthy for sensitive groups. The National Weather Service says sensitive groups include children, the elderly, and people suffering from asthma, heart disease, or other lung diseases. The effects of air pollution can be minimized by avoiding outdoor exercise or strenuous activity.
