Salt Lake City’s highs are expected to hover in the 90s for the rest of the week, marking the first heat wave of the season, according to the National Weather Service.
Axel Hernandez plays wiffle ball in Rose Park, on Saturday, July 15, 2023.“We’re kind of in heat wave now across all of the western U.S.,” said Michael Wessler, a meteorologist with the weather service’s Salt Lake City office. “What makes it a mentionable heatwave, and what we’re focused on, is that it’s really early.”
Salt Lake City’s high on Thursday was expected to peak at about 96 degrees, inching close to the highest temperature ever recorded locally on that date, 97. The region of St. George is expected to see more of an intense heat. Thursday was forecast to reach 108 degrees, which would break date’s record high of 107, set in 2016.
St. George will see slight cooling for the rest of the week, with temperatures expected to tick down to 106, 104 and 101 degrees on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, respectfully.
