As the temperatures in Salt Lake City soar, locals can expect a blazing continuation to their week, according to NWS Salt Lake City. The city today welcomed the day with a clear sky boasting a comfortable 73°F; however, the digits will climb, reaching a sizzling high near 95°F. The east southeast winds, gentle and steady, will provide scant respite as the mercury vaults, turning west southwest by afternoon.
The evening forecasts a minor reprieve, with NWS Salt Lake City plotting the temps to dip to a low around 69°F amidst partially clouded skies, but the northwest winds will take a turn, blowing east southeast after the stroke of midnight, the herald of another heated day to come. Sunday ups the ante, as the high is expected to strike near 97°F, the week's warmth unyielding, paving the way for a continued trend of sunny, dry days, and moderately warm nights, according to the National Weather Service.
Those looking ahead can anticipate the start of the work week to maintain this sunny disposition; Monday majors in sunshine with the thermostat ticking near 94°F, said NWS Salt Lake City. The twilight hours will cloak the city in mostly cloudy weather; however, the temperatures will linger warmly around 63°F.
With Juneteenth on the horizon, the weather seems intent on marking the occasion with its brand of fireworks, as temperatures are predicted to catapult to a scorching high near 100°F; indeed, a day that encapsulates the heat implicit in a Utah summer. The subsequent evenings offer no significant cooldowns either, Thursday night posturing with a low near 70°F, and Friday maintaining its sunny stance, the high pressure system dismissing any chance for chill, perched tenaciously on the high side of the 90s.
