A pleasant, seasonal close to the work week for Utah's weather
You can expect highs in the low 90s along the Wasatch Front and into central Utah, while St. George stays above the average of 102 degrees and makes a run for 106 today.
Bottom Line? Average temperatures with sunshine and dry skies for Friday; high heat holds in Southern Utah
We will see fire conditions ease slightly with winds relaxing a bit, but dry conditions persist. Our latest drought monitor percentages indicate drought worsening in Utah, with all of the beehive state facing moderate drought, and more than half of Utah now in the severe drought category. Lack of precipitation will continue over the weekend and into next week.
Above-average heat will once again build through the weekend and into early next week thanks to high pressure. At last check, there's potential to see triple digits return to the Wasatch Front, and they won't budge in southern Utah for the next seven days.
With high heat ahead, you will want to stay on top of the forecast. We'll keep you updated in our 4Warn Weather forecast both on-air and online, we are Good4Utah!

Tropical disturbance threatens Gulf Coast as New Orleans could see up to 10 inches of rain
A tropical disturbance is threatening to bring heavy rain and the risk of flash floods to the northeastern and central Gulf Coast this week and could become a tropical depression within days, forecasters say. According to the National Weather Service, the broad area of low pressure is currently over the Florida Panhandle and slowly drifting westward, with coastal areas of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana in its projected path. 'This system is forecast to continue moving westward across the northern portion of the Gulf through tonight, reaching the coast of Louisiana by Thursday,' the National Hurricane Center said in its latest forecast. Multiple flood watches have already been issued along the Louisiana coast. How much rain could fall? The current forecast from the NWS office in New Orleans calls for 3 to 5 inches of rain in coastal Louisiana south of Interstate 10 Wednesday through Saturday, with the potential for up to 10 inches in some areas. 'Ponding of water in low lying and poor drainage areas is likely,' the weather service said, with the potential for more significant flooding in low-lying areas 'if the higher end rainfall totals are realized.' Localized pockets of heavy rain are also possible in north Florida and the Panhandle on Wednesday, the NWS office in Tallahassee said, as the system moves away. What are the chances of it intensifying? According to the hurricane center, there is a 40% chance that the system will become a tropical depression. 'If this system moves far enough offshore, environmental conditions over the Gulf appear generally favorable for additional development, and a tropical depression could still form over the next couple of days before the system moves fully inland by the end of the week,' the hurricane center said. Further intensification is unlikely, but if it were to become a named storm, it would be Tropical Storm Dexter. How is hurricane season shaping up? The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, which began June 1 and runs through the end of November, has gotten off to a relatively slow start. In May, forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted there would be 13 to 19 named storms, with six to 10 becoming hurricanes and three to five of those becoming major hurricanes (with winds of more than 110 mph). A typical hurricane season averages 14 named storms. So far, there have been three: Tropical Storms Andrea, Barry and Chantal. Solve the daily Crossword

Gulf Coast could be in for flooding, but tropical storm is less likely
Yet another flooding event is possible, this time along the Gulf Coast on Thursday and Friday, as a tropical disturbance tracks toward Louisiana. The chance that the disturbance will turn into a tropical storm appears slimmer than it was earlier this week. The next one that forms will be named 'Dexter,' but it's looking less likely that will happen anytime soon.

Weather: Temperatures set to hit 30C in parts of UK this week
Temperatures are set to hit 30C in some parts of the UK this week. Highs of 28C can be expected on Thursday before temperatures are forecast to peak at 30C in London on Friday, Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said. Other areas in southeast England will push towards the high 20s on Friday, where the average temperature in July is around 23C."We're starting to see south-westerly winds come in, that's bringing in hotter and more humid conditions, particularly in southern areas, we are going to see temperatures climbing again," Mr Vautrey said. "Friday is looking to be the peak of the current hot spell. This heat is not going to be as widespread as what we've just come out of, areas to the north aren't going to be seeing the same highs." But the weather is set to turn later in the week, with a chance of heavy rain and thunderstorms across the UK on the weekend, Mr Vautrey said. Temperatures will start to slowly drop but are still expected to reach 28C or 29C on Saturday and 25C on Sunday. It comes after temperatures - as the country had its third heatwave of the year. A yellow thunderstorm warning has been issued for much of Northern Ireland from 11am until 8pm on Thursday, and this unsettled weather is forecast to spread across more of the UK. Heavy showers and a few thunderstorms may cause some disruption, particularly to travel, with between 30mm and 40mm of rainfall over a few hours in Northern Ireland, the Met Office said. Meanwhile, Southern Water has become the latest company to bring in a hosepipe ban as England battles exceptionally dry weather. Restrictions like watering gardens, filling paddling pools or washing cars would come in for households in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight from Monday, the company said. Read more:Hosepipe bans hit more households - what you need to know It has been the driest start to the year since 1976 for England, causing many water companies to bring in hosepipe bans. Rainfall across England was 20% less than the long-term average for June, the Environment Agency said. This June was the hottest on record for the country.
