Increasing cloud cover is expected over the northern half of the state today, with similar temperatures to those observed on Friday.

Red Flag Warnings remain in effect for southern and eastern Utah through 9 pm this evening. Wind gusts increase this afternoon to 30-35 mph, coupled with the high heat and very dry air. A weak trough passing to the north will clear out Sunday, bringing some relief to the gusty winds along southern Utah.
