Parts of Utah could experience triple-digit heat over the next few days as the state's first real heat wave of the year emerges following a colder-than-normal start to the year.
SALT LAKE CITY — Parts of Utah could experience triple-digit heat over the next few days as the state's first real heat wave of the year emerges following a colder-than-normal start to the year.
Forecasts are always subject to change, but weather service meteorologists say it will be the hottest it has been all year either way.The warming is the result of a high-pressure system moving in from the Pacific Coast that will set up over Utah this weekend, according to KSL meteorologist Matt Johnson. The changing patterns will bring in warmer temperatures and clearer skies for most of the state this weekend and into the July 4 holiday.
The heat wave comes as Utah's temperatures have been milder than in recent years, largely because of all the storms that helped the state end up with a record 30-inch snowpack this year. This has also spilled into some of the triple-digit normals, too. The National Weather Service noted Friday that St. George's average first 100-degree day is June 4. The southern Utah city nearly reached it on June 6; but, the high topped out at 99 degrees that day. The city's latest first 100-degree on record is July 3, set in 1965.
