High heat continues to roast the Beehive State for Father's Day weekend
SALT LAKE CITY () – Happy Friday, Utah! Temperatures have been roasting hot over the past few days and today, we'll see more of the same.
Bottom Line?! High heat hangs on into the holiday weekend.
Daytime highs are running a good 10 degrees above normal for this time of year, putting most of the valleys in the 90s with triple-digit heat for St. George. Plan on mid-90s for Salt Lake City with a high of 101 degrees in St. George. Winds remain elevated in Southern Utah, elevating fire weather conditions there.
A stronger ridge of high pressure will settle overhead this weekend, leading to drier and hotter conditions just in time for Father's Day. High temps will be in the mid to upper 90s for the Wasatch Front. High temps across southern Utah will warm between 100 and 105 degrees.
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.
A weak trough may arrive early next week, knocking a few degrees off daytime highs, but overall, expect well-above-average temperatures and mainly dry conditions to stick around through most of next week.
