Partly sunny and hot with a isolated strong storm or two possible across northern Utah
SALT LAKE CITY () – Happy Wednesday, Utah! A Disturbance will graze northern Utah Wednesday afternoon 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 Wednesday afternoon and evening near Cache Valley and the Bear River Range, along with SW Wyoming. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined the northern third of Utah under a Marginal 'level 1' risk for strong winds, frequent lightning, and heavy rain with any of these storms that may develop on Wednesday afternoon.
Thursday will feature more sunshine and hot temperatures. A stronger ridge of high pressure will settle overhead towards Friday, 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.

Nice weather Friday; Rain to start Saturday
We've got a beautiful day on the way Friday, with partly to mostly sunny skies, and some high thin cirrus clouds filtering during the afternoon. Temperatures are a little cooler than as of late, only climbing into the middle and upper 60s, about 5 to 10 degrees below average. As we move towards midnight Saturday morning, a few showers will being to work in from the west. That precipitation becomes more widespread as daybreak approaches. Rainfall totals range between a quarter and a half an inch for most, and we're drying out by Saturday afternoon, although likely holding on to a lot of clouds. The Father's Day forecast is improving, as high pressure move in from the northwest. Right now I'm thinking skies will be partly sunny with a few spotty afternoon showers. Temperatures for both weekend days climb to the upper 60s and lower 70s! Have a great night! -Skytracker Chief Meteorologist Haley Bouley Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Tomorrow begins a start to even more oppressive heat
It has been another hot day here on the Western Slope, with highs reaching the mid-to-low 90s in our viewing area. Tonight will be another warm evening as we reach 66°, as partly cloudy skies help trap that heat overnight. While Friday's high will be an already far above average 96° with mostly clear skies, we won't be done warming up. Saturday will be sunny and rise into the upper 90s. On Father's Day, this Sunday, I have us reaching a high of 100°! Try to get as many of your plans for the day finished during the morning as you can. Overnight lows will be in the mid-to-high 60s for the remainder of the week. As we head into the weekend, you will want to be cautious about how you spend your time outside. If you have any sensitivities to heat, you're going to want to avoid physical activity outside during the hottest hours of the day. And even if you don't, it will be very important to bring water with you wherever you go, and get some shade when you can. Same thing goes for your pets! Sadly, this heat wave is not ending any time soon. Monday looks to be another 100° day. We'll briefly dip into the 90s, before getting to near-100 degree temperatures again later next week.
