Salt Lake City, UT – Residents can expect a quieter weather pattern this week as dry air settles into the region. Temperatures today are expected to start 5-10 degrees below normal, providing some relief before moderating through midweek. By Thursday, a weak cold front could bring moisture back into Northern Utah, increasing the chances of showers and thunderstorms over the weekend.

According to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, temperatures will steadily climb towards the weekend, with highs reaching 91 degrees by Friday. This shift brings an elevated risk of thunderstorms, particularly on Saturday and Sunday. Residents should plan accordingly, staying hydrated and seeking shade during peak heat hours. It’s also advised to keep an eye on weather alerts, especially if planning outdoor activities.

Looking ahead, temperatures in St. George are expected to rise into the triple digits, with highs reaching up to 102 degrees by Thursday. Residents in Southern Utah should be particularly cautious of heat-related illnesses and stay informed as storm activity increases.
