Heat persists throughout Utah with above-average highs

SALT LAKE CITY () – Happy Tuesday, Utah! Above-average warmth has arrived and will stick around for the next several days. Today's temperatures are expected to warm up another couple of degrees, which translates to daytime highs in the low to mid-90s for most valleys, 80s for high terrain, and upper 90s to low 100s for the warmest spots. There won't be much cloud cover in the north to provide shade, but parts of eastern and southern Utah will see a mix of sun and clouds. We can't rule out a brief thunderstorm rolling into the southwest desert, including Price, St. George and Cedar City. The bottom line? Building heat with above-average temperatures statewide. Lingering moisture allows for the chance of storms through the midweek. With the potential of storms in the forecast, our flash flood threat remains elevated for a few popular recreation spots. Flash flooding will be 'Possible' for some outdoor recreation areas in slot canyons, dry washes, and other low-lying areas, including Capitol Reef, Grand Staircase, Natural Bridges, Lake Powell and Bryce Canyon. The threat isn't high, but it's worth keeping your eyes to the skies if you plan on being in those areas. A ridge of high pressure will continue to strengthen and eventually center over Utah, allowing for high heat during the work week. We won't see temperatures fluctuate much this week, so expect our daytime highs to remain about five to ten degrees above seasonal norms. By Wednesday, a trough will clip Northern Utah, and while we have very dry air at the surface, we have the chance to see storms develop, and strong outflow winds are expected in Northern Utah. As a result of the damaging wind potential, the Storm Prediction Center has issued a 'Marginal' thunderstorm risk for northern Utah on Wednesday, which means a few severe thunderstorms will be possible. With dry air near the surface, we will not likely see major precipitation, but storms could produce abundant lightning, small hail, and erratic wind. Once the trough exits the region, we will have a dry, southwest flow in place, allowing for hot temperatures and increased winds. The latter half of the work week could bring critical fire conditions to parts of central and southern Utah, with low relative humidity expected, heat and gusty winds in place. Stay tuned!

Heatwave settles in across Utah promising a classic summer feeling

SALT LAKE CITY () – Happy Monday, Utah! It's shaping up to be a hot start to the week across Utah and as high pressure settles in overhead. Bottom Line?! Early summer heatwave settles in with a few afternoon thunderstorms Temperatures are already running above normal, and you can expect things to heat up even more heading into midweek. We're talking sunshine, very warm afternoons, and that classic summer feel, especially across northern Utah, where temps will rise a few more degrees today. Daytime highs will climb to around 90 degrees along the Wasatch Front, and triple-digit heat for St. George. That said, it's not completely dry out there. There's still some lingering moisture hanging around, and that means we can't rule out a few afternoon showers and thunderstorms, especially over the higher terrain. These storms won't be widespread, but they'll be the kind that bubble up with daytime heating, toss out a few gusty outflow winds, and then fizzle once the sun starts to dip. By midweek, the ridge remains in control, but a weak low nearby could stir up a bit more action in the skies. Look for another round of high-based storms that might stretch beyond the mountains and drift into the surrounding valleys late Tuesday and Wednesday. Again, they won't bring much rain…but they could kick up some wind. Looking beyond midweek, things really dry out. A broader pattern shift will usher in hot and breezy southwesterly flow across the region, especially from Thursday into the weekend. That means we'll need to keep a close watch on fire danger—conditions are looking ripe for critical fire weather, especially in central and southern Utah.

Warmup on the way, with a few southern storms in the mix

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – Happy Sunday, Utah! Summer vibes are settling in across Utah as high pressure builds in, continuing a warming trend that's set to carry us through early in the week. Daytime highs are on the rise, expect upper 80s to low 90s across most valleys, and close to 100° down in St. George this afternoon. We're still hanging onto just enough leftover moisture to spark a few isolated afternoon showers and storms, especially across southern Utah. These will be hit-or-miss and mostly short-lived, fading quickly once the sun goes down. Monday looks similar, though a weak disturbance could bring gusty outflow winds with any southern mountain storms. Looking ahead to midweek, moisture starts to creep back in thanks to a passing weather system. Storm chances pick up a bit across the higher terrain on Tuesday, and northern Utah could see a slight chance on Wednesday as that system brushes by. It's not looking like much for the valleys at this point, mainly cloudy cover and a slight chance of an isolated storm. By the end of the week, another disturbance could stir up more activity, but the details are still hazy. One thing's for sure… the heat is on, and we're heading into a stretch where fire weather could become a concern, especially in southwest Utah as winds ramp up throughout the week. Stay tuned.

Man charged with assault for allegedly attacking and strangling neighbor

Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. MURRAY, Utah () — A Murray man has been charged with assault after banging on his neighbor's door and allegedly physically attacking him when he came outside. Bryan M Barrios, 31, was charged with felony aggravated assault, misdemeanor assault, threat of violence, property damage, and public intoxication. On May 21, 2025, just before 9 p.m., a Murray City police officer was called to a disturbance near Regal Street in Murray. When the officer arrived, a group of people were standing outside and pointed out a man they said had attacked them. Two inmates charged for allegedly stabbing 'rival gang member' at Utah State Prison One person, the victim, was bleeding from several injuries and had a red mark and abrasion on his neck, according to the officer's arrest statement. The victim told the officer that his neighbor, Barrios, had begun banging on his door loudly, damaging the doorframe from the impact. When the victim opened the door to speak with him, documents say Barrios began yelling at him and physically attacked him. The victim recalled Barrios saying, 'I'm going to f– kill you!' and wrapping his arm around his neck to strangle him. According to documents, surveillance footage of the altercation showed Barrios attempting to strangle the victim, causing him to fall to the ground. Barrios then made a second attempt to strangle him, but the victim managed to pin Barrios' arms to his chest and stop the physical attack. The officer who apprehended Barrios reported that he smelled of alcohol and appeared to be intoxicated. Barrios was arrested and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail and was charged by the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office on June 6.
