Warming up this week with isolated storm chances
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Happy Monday, 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, Monday and Tuesday afternoons. 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.
