SALT LAKE CITY ( ABC4 ) — Happy Tuesday, Utah! It was a nice and crisp morning across northern Utah following the cold front Monday.
The cooler air didn’t reach all of southern Utah and the southernmost areas are still dealing with record high territory temperatures.
Summer holds on with warming temperatures across Utah
St. George has a record-high temperature of 99 degrees today, and the forecast calls for 100 degrees through Wednesday. This means that these will be the latest triple-digit days ever recorded for St. George.
A dry, northwest flow is in place across the northern half of the state thanks to a big ridge sitting off the California coast. That means dry weather is sticking around for the next few days.
In northern Utah, temperatures remain in the upper 70s and low 80s today with warmer temperatures moving in through Wednesday. Temperatures will be around 10 degrees hotter than what we’d normally expect this time of year.
And in southern Utah? It’s even more extreme, some spots are looking at highs 15 degrees above average.
