Salt Lake City, UT – Scorching heat will grip Salt Lake City this weekend as temperatures climb toward 98°F by Monday, bringing a multi-day stretch of intense summer conditions across northern Utah.
According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, highs will hover in the mid-90s starting Saturday, June 28, with Monday, July 1 projected to reach a searing 98°F. The spike in heat, combined with low humidity and light winds, raises the risk of heat-related illness and elevated fire danger along travel corridors like I-15 and I-80.
Salt Lake, West Valley City, and surrounding areas should prepare for limited relief, with overnight lows only dipping into the mid-60s. Residents are urged to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity during peak heat hours (2–6 p.m.), and check on vulnerable individuals, especially the elderly and pets. Drivers on major roadways should ensure vehicles are heat-ready, with functioning air conditioning and plenty of fluids.
Saturday and Sunday will remain sunny and dry, ideal for outdoor events—but caution is key. Expect light northwest winds by afternoon and minimal cloud cover. While skies remain mostly clear, the real concern is prolonged exposure to high UV and heat levels ahead of the July 4th holiday.
